@E__Umoh You’re also right
Only if she’s a staff of the bank. She’s not. She’s a trainee.
And even if she is a staff of the bank the chairman is not your colleague.
Nobody is stressing you with sentiments.
@ifeaboyeji@Beautiranye You won’t know double standard even if it was standing on your nose.
You weren’t there when he gave privilege to the interviewer to be addressed by FNB.
If I’m not sure what to address you by, I ask politely.
He simply corrected her to avoid a situation like that futurewise.
@justkency@PriyeDavid HRH sir.
It’s not hypocrisy.
It’s etiquette.
She’s to learn from that and not make a colossal mistake outside.
Again dont address anybody you are not close with on FNB unless given the privilege.
Yes colleagues get that privilege but today they aren’t colleagues he’s the CHAIRMAN
@iyiolalekan6@PriyeDavid Get your facts right sir.
It’s not a culture thing.
Infact this first name thing is as much a western thing as it is African.
It’s basic etiquette.
You don’t address anyone you aren’t FAMILIAR with by first name you’d get that treatment even from the OYINBO you talk about.
@PriyeDavid Were you there when he granted the STANFORD interviewer the first name basis privilege?
You do know he owns the right to how he should be addressed? That is why even when you are applying for visa or a job, they ask how do you want to be addressed, to avoid scenes like this
@E__Umoh It’s not an African thing. If I was POTUS and you call me Donald I’d do same. You address me as Mr Trump, it has nothing to do with African culture. Again the colleagues first name basis rule don’t apply here, THEY ARE NOT COLLEAGUES! HE’S YOUR CHAIRMAN!
@Dontee___@lyanujesu That’s not true.
In the training school you were taught to address colleagues. How are they colleagues? How are they familiar? She doesn’t even have a role yet, technically she hasn’t even graduated yet and even that doesn’t make her a colleague to the group chairman!
@Dontee___@adedejisuyii She is.
By African cultural standards and even by the western culture standards you claim she would get a pass.
It’s blatant disrespect calling somebody you’re not familiar with by their first name this is basic etiquette.
Learn, so you dont make that mistake yourself!
@Dontee___ Big correction: They are trained to refer to COLLEAGUES by first name, in this case they are not colleagues. Also for those citing western cultures, it is disrespectful to address anyone you’re not familiar with by their first name, you can’t address POTUS as Donald.

The Gospel was never meant to be locked within a building; it’s a message for the highways and byways...Jesus ministered more on the streets and hillsides than in temples, let’s follow His example.
