   @Funmilola if it's right to call others 'my doctor', 'my lawyer', nothing wrong in calling 'my driver'. Dignity in labour.

   “@Funmilola: Don't call anyone "the driver" or "my driver". They have a name, use it.” But can u call someone " the doctor" or "my doctor"?

   @Funmilola There's dignity in labour, even I'm service. I don't mind when people call me 'The Architect.'

    Aunty Funmi, are you saying "My Driver" is a derogatory statement or is the job itself not a noble one? I'm confused! @Funmilola
