Queen NwadahA Nigerian business Developer, Omobaabirin Adedotun, has opined that Nigerians abuse the word, Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
According to her, people who sell cloths, shoes and wigs on social media platforms especially Whatapp, should be referred to as traders and not CEO.
Sharing her thoughts on Twitter, the woman said being a trader doesn’t take anything from someone’s entrepreneurship journey.
She wrote;
“Let me say this again. CEO means Chief Executive Officer. For there to be a CHIEF amongst the Officers. It means there must be other Officers. If you are selling Gowns on WhatsApp. You are a Trader. That’s what you are.
“If you are selling Wigs, shoes and the likes on WhatsApp. You are a Trader. That’s what you are. It doesnt take anything from your Enterprenuership Journey but common, we are abusing the word CEO.”
Let me say this again.
CEO means Chief Executive Officer.
For there to be a CHIEF amongst the Officers. It means there must be other Officers.
If you are selling Gowns on WhatsApp. You are a Trader. That's what you are.
