What Do You Answer to?
It's not what you are called but what you answer to that matters.
In Nigerian culture, it's not unusual to express our loving care and concern by asking questions like
"Have you eaten today?" or What do you want me to get for you on my way back?" or it could be "gingering" you in a name praising fashion using heartwarming terms of endearment just for you.
