I don’t subscribe to ‘Oyinbo’ life – Tony Elumelu schools graduate trainee for calling him by his first name [VIDEO]

Tony Elumelu, the Chairman of United Bank for Africa (UBA), recently addressed a graduate trainee who referred to him by his first name during the bank's induction of 5,000 new hires. The incident took place during the event when the trainee took a microphone and addressed Elumelu as "Tony." Surprised by the manner of address, Elumelu asked the trainee to correct herself.

However, the trainee repeated the name "Tony" when given another opportunity to address him. A video of the exchange has since gained widespread attention on social media, sparking discussions about workplace etiquette, generational differences, and the appropriate way to address senior executives in Nigeria's corporate landscape.
