Family / The Husband Is The Head Of The Family? by Seun(m): 3:40pm On Apr 20
"The husband is the head of his family. He should strive to be wiser, smarter, & wealthier than his wife. But in any case, a wife must defer to her husband's authority as her leader. He should listen to her, but after he listens, she must accept his decisions. He's in charge."

This is the traditional and religious view of marriage. Do you agree with it? I subscribe to the modern view but I worry about its practicality.

My view is that every couple has a different dynamic and their families should be ruled by consensus, but the partner who is more competent in a particular area should be deferred to more often when dealing with issues in that area. If the wife is an accountant, she'll control finances.

Politics / "Who Will Tell The President?" By Laolu Akande by Seun(m): 12:21am On Apr 18

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnB33y6mZLQ

And here is my take for the week entitled: "Who Will Tell the President?" - Mr Laolu Akande.

There are things that the public are interested in but seem not to be getting the due attention of the president. At least, there is no communication about these things. For instance, the restoration of the social investment programme. Over a month ago, it was announced that it will resume urgently, even as an emergency. It is now April, and this has not been restored.

Who will tell the president? Specifically, in February, the coordinating minister of the economy, Mr. Edun, said restarting the direct cash transfer was crucial to tackling food prices, especially elevated prices, and also, government's ability that it will help government's ability to provide purchasing power to at least 60 million people who are less well off. Has this been done?

Who will tell the president that the investigation of the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Beta Edu, is taking too long? How long will it take for a decision to be taken on the report of the EFCC, and how long will it take to have a substantive minister named back to that ministry, or has the president approved the idea to move some of the programmes to the Ministry of Finance?

Who will tell the president that the emergency economic intervention bill is still lying fallow on someone's desk somewhere? This is a bill that attempts to codify some of the tax reform proposals from the Presidential Tax Reform Committee alongside other urgent economic measures. When is that bill going to be sent to the National Assembly? Members of the National Assembly are saying that they've had no movement on this bill since November. Who will tell the president this?

Who will tell the president that now that the CBN is able to get the naira to some stability, it's time to tax luxury items that are being imported and cut off our heavy importation so that we can save the naira, so that we can spend less foreign exchange? India did a similar thing when Mahatma Gandhi said, and I quote, "If India cannot feed herself, let India starve. If India cannot clothe herself, let India go naked". It was at the time when India was facing such a crisis as we are facing now in Nigeria; tough times demand tough decisions.

Who will tell the president that instead of an investigation into an allegation of smuggling by known people that has been reported by journalists, especially the Foundation for Investigative Journalism, what we see is an attempt to criminalise journalism. Instead of our authorities to investigate such allegations that are already reported publicly, what we are being told is that there are petitions against the journalists.

Who will tell the president that the attempts to intimidate the press is not in Nigeria's best interests and that it creates a poor reflection on the president that we all know is a true democrat? If the smuggling allegations that Soyombo has reported are inaccurate and false, the government should tell us. Going after him and the board of FIJ is not the way to go.

Who will tell the president that all of these are happening under his watch and that it does have implications for his legacy? One day, four years, eight years maximum, he will be a former president. What is going to be said about attempts by people under him to intimidate journalists?

Who will tell the president that for months since Nigeria has withdrawn ambassadors from our embassies abroad, their replacements have not been announced? And now our embassies are operating below capacity without substantive envoys.

Who will tell the president that in diplomacy, in the world of diplomacy, the place of a properly accredited ambassador cannot be compared to anyone below him acting in that capacity? Who will tell the president that this is not in the best interest of Nigeria's foreign policy?

These are some of the issues that we hope that somebody who has the president's ear will bring to his attention. At the end of the day, it is about what the president does and what he does not do, and then I have my take for the week.

The "Fake it" sounds like a question. It sounds like, "Fake it?". I don't mean to defend the pastor. But I am being careful.
Despite listening to it 3 times and typing out what he said, I didn't catch that. I think you are right, which means the message is incomplete.
Religion / Chris Oyakhilome On Faking Speaking On Tongues by Seun(m): 1:45pm On Apr 01
Some of you haven't spoken in tongues yet. Even though everybody is speaking in tongues around you, you still don't speak in tongues. Why because you are saying to yourself "I don't want to force anything. If God is going to give me his special tongues he will give me." (laughter)

You believe that somehow when God is ready the real tongues will come.

And there are some of you, you used to speak in tongues until you were deceived by Satan that the tongues you were speaking were made up by yourself. So you stopped. Now you pray with your mounth open hoping somehow... (laughter). Nothing is coming out. You're thinking "I don't want to fake it".

Fake It? Why didn't you fake it before you were born again? (the crowd pauses for a moment and then erupts)

Just as travellers struggle without a shared tongue, couples from different backgrounds face hurdles when their love languages differ.

Deciphering and communicating fluently in the language of love is paramount to nurturing a fulfilling relationship or marriage.

Join us this Sunday as we explore the profound beauty and strength of expressing love beyond words.

This woman was "healed" by Pastor Chris. She was among the people who rose up from their wheelchairs & were "healed". This is her celebration of "healing." Do you see what's happening or do I have to spell it out?

Update: She wasn't among the people in wheelchairs. After the healing of the people in stretchers, they brought people in wheelchairs and many people standing up to the stage. Pastor Chris declared that they are all healed and they started celebrating on the stage. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

So what gave Pastor Chris the assurance that they would rise when he commanded them to rise? That he would not be embarrassed?

It's the fact that they had been pre-screened by Pastor Amenkhienan and his other close helpers. He knew that they could all walk.

Whenever you see such accounts, take it as one of the accounts Seun created to stir up topics. When Nairaland was young, dude most likely created hundreds of accounts which would be used to create topics aimed at stirring a discussion - thus generating web traffic.
I never felt the need to use alt accounts to stir discussions, so I never did. This is a false speculation.

Did you listen to Mukina2 while she was a mod? If you only listen to yourself, you will run Nairaland by yourself.
I listened to her. Her view is that if she is given a task and refuses to carry it out, or fails to carry it out as expected, then her reason or explanation for not doing it must be accepted. Which means the task will not get done. I don't see how that kind of management could possibly be productive.

Nairaland / General / Mukina2, Nairaland's First Supermod, Has Resigned by Seun(m): 8:49pm On Mar 03
When I started Nairaland, I operated it all by myself, but by 2007 I was overwhelmed. Mukina2 swooped in and volunteered to be a super-moderator. She also helped me to recruit section moderators. This enabled us to move forward. Initially, she worked for free, but over time she became a paid supermod. One of the best.

Last month, I gave her a particular instruction which is the most basic instruction you can give a moderator. Clean up ALL the sections you've been assigned to and report to me after EACH one. She steadfastly refused until the month end. She felt that she was doing her job and there was therefore no need for me to tell her what to do.

I insisted that she must choose between resigning and following this particular instruction. She eventually chose to resign, saying "let's go our separate ways". We will miss her a lot. I will miss her a lot. I wish her the best in all her future endeavours. She will do great. She may return if she changes her mind, but the show must go on.

Politics / Wale Edun's Plans To Improve The Nigerian Economy by Seun(m): 10:31am On Feb 24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNf97-hy7Gw

Our Finance Minister, Mr. Wale Edun, who is responsible for fiscal policy, appeared on ChannelsTV to share his plans to improve the Nigerian economy:

1) Giveaways. He spent half of his time talking about giveaways. He feels most of the excess naira in circulation has gone to the rich, so he wants to share more excess naira with the poor as well. ๐Ÿค

2) To plug revenue leakages by channelling all revenue directly to the FG and disbursing expenditures directly to intended recipients without intermediaries who might embezzle the money. โœ”๏ธ

3) To increase tax collection by 70% this year without increasing tax rates and eliminating some types of tax that are unnecessary. โœ”๏ธ

4) He want to pay back Ways & Means by looking for new sources of revenue. I felt that his explanation of how that would be achieved was vague. It's unlikely to happen after CBN's data showed an increase in W&M. โŒ

5) Collaborating with CBN by increasing interest rates to attract FPI. I find this to be short-sighted if attracting hot money is the perceived benefit of raising interest rates and not the reduction of inflation, & FDI. Also, our real interest rates are still negative, so how will this work? โŒ

Overall, Mr Edun has some decent ideas but his overall plan is inadequate to solve our problems.

I recommend inviting the economists who spoke at Proshare's Economist Conference to Abuja for a retreat where they can help him to develop a comprehensive plan that might actually work.
