VIDEO: I don’t subscribe to Oyinbo life, Elumelu schools lady for calling him by first name

The exchange, captured in a video from the event and widely shared on social media, has triggered mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some applauding Elumelu’s response while others argued that the young graduate may have been following modern corporate culture, where employees are sometimes encouraged to address senior executives by their first names.

However, some Nigerians offered a different perspective, suggesting that the young woman may have been following the conventions of corporate workplaces where employees are sometimes encouraged to address colleagues and senior executives by their first names.

A young lady has gone viral after UBA Group Chairman, Tony Elumelu, corrected her for addressing him by his first name during an interactive session at the bank’s Graduate Management Accelerated Programme graduation ceremony on Thursday.
