The businessman was startled by this and immediately asked if she said ‘’Toyin”
The young lady responded ‘’I said, ‘Good morning Tony’.
Responding, Mr Elumemlu said she will not call him Tony. He says he is not one of those men who subscribe to the ‘Oyibo’ culture and gave her ways in which she can respectfully address him
‘’No, you wouldn’t call me Tony. I am not one of those…You call me Mr Elumelu or TOE or Chairman. I don’t subscribe to that kind of Oyibo life”
