What’s in a title? Usually,
a title is used before your name to show your status or profession. But we covet
them for other reasons. We’ve come to realise that titles like: Prof, Dr,
Chief, High Chief, Engineer, Architect, Barrister, Pastor, Evangelist, Alhaji,
look good before our names to boost our ego, esteem and for self-promotion or
to commit fraud. So, we go to any lengths to acquire them. Some even purposely adopt
these titles as nicknames with the intention that with time they can be assumed
earned or legit.
Of course, this is without any prejudice to the rights of individuals who earn their titles and use them correctly.
