Nigerians And Titles; Chief, Dr, Ezendigbo, Alhaji, Baba, Engr, Pharmacist, Bla Bla Bla,,,And So Have You?

My Naija People and title self? As directed by the newly appointed Lagos State Commissioner for Youth and Social Development;........The perm Sec wrote; "I am directed to refer to the above subject and to inform you that the Honorable Commissioner for Youth and Social Development will like to be officially addressed as Pharmacist (Mrs) Uzamat Akinbile-Yusuf. Consequently, any publication or correspondence should be addressed as stated above"...mmmmmm, terrible!
 
It looks like it is only in Nigeria that there is so much desire for people to add titles to their names. Am still yet to see people from the Arab world having Alhaji attached to their names or Westerners having  PHARMACIST as against Mr or Mrs!
