A former UBA banker has offered advice following a viral video showing a young woman addressing billionaire Tony Elumelu by his first name during a public event. Innocent Istifanus Moses, who previously worked at UBA, commented on the incident, emphasizing the value of humility over defensiveness. His remarks have sparked a range of reactions online, with some supporting his perspective and others questioning the appropriateness of the woman’s approach.
The video, which has gained significant attention, shows the woman, identified as a graduate trainee from UBA Banking School, standing up to ask a question. She addressed Elumelu directly, which some viewers found disrespectful, while others defended her for speaking up in a public setting. The incident has reignited discussions about social etiquette and the dynamics of public interactions with high-profile individuals.
Media aide to Davido, Israel DMW, has also commented on the video, highlighting the lack of home training as a possible factor in the woman’s actions. The debate continues online, with users sharing differing opinions on whether the woman’s behavior was appropriate or if it reflected a broader cultural shift in how people engage with public figures.
The conversation underscores the growing role of social media in shaping public perception and the challenges of navigating personal and professional boundaries in the digital age.
