I remember back in 2014 during my SIWES at GTBank. We got our offer letters at 635 Akin Adesola, and like they always say, “address everyone by their first name.”
Fast forward to the branch we were posted to in Ikeja… one of the girls we resumed with casually called the Operations Head “Shalewa.” 😂
In my head I was like, “Ah… can’t you apply small wisdom?”
That woman dealt with her throughout the entire program.
A lot of you need to always remember this is Nigeria. Corporate policies are one thing, but culture and respect still matter a lot. Anywhere you find yourself, read the room and apply sense.
Nigerian orgs need to be true to themselves. Many went all in adopting western culture like first-name basis as policy, knowing fully well that it doesn't sit well in our culture. I've seen how this caused friction and confusion. We should learn from the Asians.
If I were Tony Elumelu, I'd actually go to her branch tomorrow to check on her - especially if she's in a Lagos Branch. Chat. Ask about work. Have lunch. Encourage her to give her best to the bank. Then keep it moving.
Your organization has spent millions training someone and you want to lose that rather than teach?
Na wa
@yabaleftonline There is such a thing as cultural intelligence.
Its lack of cultural intelligence that would make you be in Rome with the pope and choose to behave as if you are in a zoo in Congo.
Tony Elumelu’s desire to be addressed with respect in Nigeria and simply as Tony outside the country can both be accommodated. Perspective and environment matter. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

No valid papal visit in Spain without a flamenco💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽 Sara Baras and her dancers and musicians perfomed a top flamenco in front of Pope Leo tonight, with the pontiff clearly amused on the occasion.

Many Anglican priests in the UK left the Anglican Church when they started conducting weddings for gay couples and joined the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church accepted them and, after a period of training, ordained them as Catholic priests, even though they were married.
My local Catholic priest where my London home is was a married former Anglican priest who converted to Catholicism.
So, celibacy in the Catholic Church is not a doctrine. It is just discipline. Those who cannot keep discipline, even if you let them marry, will still engage in sexual immorality.
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.
The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.
Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.
If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
Nothing wey no happen for church today, this is Pastor Eneche of the Dunamis church…just try watch till the end or just fast forward to the end 😭🧎🏻♂️➡️
