MR Tony Elumelu is Chairman and not CEO; he’s exempted from all their HR first name rules.
He’s the board chairman. It’s just his accessibility that caused it.
Never get familiar with greatness. Never!
I understand the lady actually. If you notice, Tony stated that he wasn't a believer in First Name Basis tradition of the whites, as a means of correction.
Now let's turn this into a teachable moment. If you meet someone and you don't know how to address them, this is what to do:
1. Put a Prefix before their name e.g. Mr. Tony, Mr. Elumelu or Mr. Tony Elumelu
2. Refer to them by their official gender class. If it's a man, call him a Sir, if it's a woman, Call her Ma or Ms. or Ma'am or Madam.

Residents of Orhionmwon LGA have taken to the streets, demanding an end to what they describe as years of government neglect and underdevelopment.
The protesters questioned why an area they say contributes significantly to Edo State’s resources continues to struggle with basic infrastructure and development.
“Where is the development from the resources coming from Orhionmwon?” they asked.
