ideamonster: The potential threat the career of a woman can cause to her marriage especially if her husband isn’t as successful as she is has always been a point of discussion. Moreover, some single men are even afraid to marry a woman who is successful in their chosen career than them. Some believe that the norm is husbands “should” hold higher job status relative to their wives. When this norm is violated, and wives hold the higher status job, negative consequences can follow: Women are more likely to be targets of husbands’ aggression, and the risk for divorce increases.
Question is it a crime for a woman to succeed in her chosen field or earn more?

First there were many MW stations, none of which was able to really capture my attention. We had Radio Lagos, RCOS, B.C.O.S/Radio O.Y.O, Ogun Radio/OGBC and of course the king of them all Radio Nigeria 1 (1089). Radio Nigeria 1 was the first place to go to for the 7am news and whenever there was a coup.
RN2
Then came the glorious Radio Nigeria 2 (RN2). RN2 played great music and they had superstar presenters. It was the first FM station in Lagos. I paticularly enjoyed listening to the station in the afternoons and at weekends. RN 1 catered to the older folks, while RN2 was the new exciting station for the younger folks (these roles were replicated on tv, with NTA Ch 10 being for the older folks and NTA 2 Ch 5 for the younger folks).
RN 2 had superstars like
(Your Willing Willy) Willy Egbe Sunny Irabor (JAJ) Joseph Akinyemi Johnson Ohi Alegbe Jones Usen Ihria Enakhimo (one of the funniest human beings on tv and radio) (Bonny with the face) Boniface Onogwu Godwin Asuquo Momoh Kubanje Tony Ibegbuna (he was the voice of the station when it started. It seemed like he did all their jingles).
And many more. There were shows like Willy Brunch, Sunny Side Up, Martin Street Special (before the Martin Street studios burnt down), Police Diary, I Beg Una, etc.
Radio Nigeria One later caught my attention with a beautiful breakfast show called Radioscope. In the years that I was hooked on that show (1988-1993) it was hosted at various times by Zachary Mohammed (Captain ZM), Manny Onumonu and Evelyn Russel.
Radio Nigeria Three was set up in 1989 (it was the first community radio station in Nigeria and broadcast in pidgin, igbo yoruba and hausa) and I often listened to them in the evenings.
RN2 is now known as Metro FM, RN3 is now known as Country Radio and RN1 moved from MW to FM and is now known as Radio One.
OGBC 2 Then came the Ogun State Broadcasting Corporation's second station (OGBC2), the second FM station that could be received in Lagos. It blew RN2 out of the water. It was lightyears ahead of its elder sister OGBC (which transmitted on the MW band). It had great presenters like
Ladi Akeredolu-Ale Larry Ichiejile Olusesan Ekisola Aderinsola Aladeselu Peter Okodua Busayo Olaifa Toyin Shogbesan. Ambrose Shomide Toba Opaleye
Its breakfast show, which included Headliners (newspaper review) and Bournvita Sports Special with Larry Ichiejile/Izamuje was second to none. It rode on the wave of the golden age of hip hop by playing all the latest hip hop tracks that people wanted to hear.
It was one of the key sources of information during the June 12 movement. People got anti-government news from OGBC2, The Punch, The Concord, etc; pro-government news from the NTA, Radio Nigeria, Daily Times and New Nigerian and impartial news from The Guardian and The BBC. Then the government shut down OGBC temporarily.
Raypower The very first private radio station actually began broadcasting without permission from government. The station debuted sometime in the middle of the year (broadcasting on 100MHz), then they were ordered to shut down by the NBC, then they legally started transmission towards the end of the year on 100.5MHz.
It virtually wiped out OGBC and RN2 from the airwaves. They were broadcasting from Alagbado, but they had a relay station on Bookshop House in Marina, thus their signal was clearer across Lagos than OGBC and RN2's signals. They poached a lot of talent from OGBC and Radio Nigeria. People like Ambrose Shomide and Momoh Kubanje joined the station. They had presenters like
Olusesan Ekisola (the first General Manager of Raypower, he was poached from OGBC). Steve "The Sleek" Kadiri. Dennis Tha Menace Ogi Ogee Onazi. Sule "Solazo" Ellams Becky Ellams Lola "L Boogie" Mogaji Ibiyemi Olufowobi Busola Faiga Doe Abrahams Tony Akiotu Jumobi Adegbesan
They had Milo World Of Sports (which attempted to compete against Larry's Bournvita Sports Special on OGBC), Newspaper Headline Review, Jukebox (with Olusesan Ekishola), Rock Radio (with Dennis Da Menace Ogi), Doe Abraham's calypso show, etc. They also collaborated with The BBC and broadcast Sports Round Up, Sports World, News Hour, etc. It ruled the airwaves for much of the Abacha/June 12 crisis era and people depended on their news for information about what was going on.
Rhythm
And the Murray-Bruces finally floated a radio station. Their selling point was "More music, less talk" and they won people over by playing mainstream music that people liked (hip hop, R&B and soul). Rhythm has endured and has remained one of my top two favourite stations since 1997. They've had presenters like
Femi Sowoolu (formerly of OGBC) JAJ (formerly of RN2). Eldee The Don. Steve (the South African) Naphtali Tope Brown (Brown Sugar) Nnamdi Anazia Kemistry
And more recently
(The Wildchild) I.K Osakiodua Phoenix (Big Time) Onome Oyaide
At breakfast time I would often switch between the sports, newspaper review and news programmes on OGBC2, Raypower and Rhythm, before OGBC2's quality and signal strength depreciated.
Cool FM
Between 1998-2010 Cool FM had undoubtedly the best collection of nigerian on air personalities in one radio station that I have ever heard. The only radio station that has had anything like that (and they are a distant second) is Radio Nigeria 2 (in the early 1980s).
They had amazing presenters like
1) Lakeside (Lekan Saheed). He was definitely my favourite. The guy was INSANE!
2) Iyke The G (nobody else plays the kind of music that he plays. It's almost like he reads my mind).
3) Dan Foster (the Big Dawg. He has an unusual ability to connect with his listeners).
4) Kemi Adetiba (amazing impersonations).
5) Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi
6) Olisa Adibua (yes, the same guy that hosted "Top Of The Pops" on NTA2 Channel 5 c1988-1992)
7) Dare Art-Alade
8 ) Tosyn Bucknor (she also co-hosted the crazy Fanta show with Lakeside).
9) Mark Silvere (an american that first presented the Good Morning Nigeria Show. He also had the ability to connect with his listeners [he often prayed for them on air]. Made a good team with Dan Foster).
10) Keith Lane. The very first voice I heard on Cool FM (on the day they started transmitting). This guy is the definition of insane! He introduced "Radio Grafitti" to Cool FM and it hasn't been the same without him (no one has his level of insanity). His first stint at Cool FM ended when he complained about a decision that management were about to make and invited listeners to call in and talk about it. He was brought back several years later, after Dan Foster left the station, but listeners hated him because they kept comparing him to Dan (Dan is nice and friendly, while Keith is irreverent and insane).
11) Charles Supo Orija (the king of news).
They also ran the Bournvite Sports Special with Larry Izamuje for a while (at first it was networked with OGBC2, then it was exclusively on Cool FM) and also had Sports Express with the Sportsvision crew.
Now I just shuffle between Rhythm, NigeriaInfo and Classic FM. No radio station is particularly dominant or strong enough to get my attention exclusively. Raypower lost the right to use their relay station, so their signal isn't particulalrly strong and they also lost a lot of their best presenters. The 2010 tsunami also saw Cool FM losing their best presenters and I don't listen to them anymore. OGBC2 and RN2 (now known as Metro FM) are shadows of their former selves.

Here is the about this issue. After transition to democratic government in the year 1999 followed by Oputa's panel, most politician suddenly became an emergency student in our universities and few offshore institutions. I know few at back then. If your class set falls within those years you can testify to that In fact the scholars coined a slogan that the politicians should be boss in office but they will always be humble to part with the cake as long as they needed them the scholars.
FreeStuffsNG: Smh. Please stop deceiving yourself. Serious organisations know the truth. They know the very few schools in Nigeria. They are not ignorant.
If you attend glorified Secondary schools like AAU, my advice to you is to finish with very high grades like 1st Class and go for your PG in real prestigious universities like UNILAG or UI or OAU only before hitting the labour market.
You are right . It reminds me of those days when we are talking about school choice Uniben is what we thought most of our peers are only to find out it was AAU and the only credible course they had then was criminology. Most of them finished in a way we don't understand till this day. Non of them did any professional job but just hustling.
Pepperdemisback: Do you know why they call these people influencers? They can make people to do the unimaginable. They want to use him to do the fight, his followers will obey him more. Since he said he is against it,he might have stopped. Tonto na same family with Naira Marley.
Wodu89: Indeed. Lousy gossip. So, people he picked on the road side suddenly have all his itinerary and his life details. Continue to relish slanderous gossip and you'll kill the innocent one day
They have somebody or group of people bankrolling them the informations. They are being used.
IconicR: I believe those boys because they know alot more than we do You see all these present generation pastors ehn, they are too randy. I don't even want to say some things here but they are nothing to write home about. You'll still see some people coming here to defend these devil in disguise pastors ignorantly.
DesChyko: I'll like anyone with insight or experience on why this demand was made to let me know if this is standard practice.
These pair of prepaid meters has been installed since 2009 (14 years ago) and the house was built with conduit wiring. The wire bearing the supply from the electric poles entered the building as shown below and exits where the meters and junction boxes for each flats are installed (pictures shown below).
It was quite surprising when I came home today to meet this 'Disconnection Order' from EKEDC, asking that the wires be pulled out off the wall within 48 hours to avoid disconnection (or visit their office at Isashi).
I'd like to know if anyone has had this experience before and what the reason for such order is as I do not think conduit wiring is outlawed by them before now..or has it been outlawed?
Note that there is no contact email or phone number on the order and my primary concern is how breaking the walls if necessary might affect the structural integrity of the building. I'll appreciate any rapid response to this.
Thanks in advance.

They are mad, Nigeria dealers are such a colossal disgrace. Every government worker do not act objectively and intellectually on Oga at the top has said. The aim is to prevent energy theft, all they need is to get their certified technician around such location to work with the building on how to run the Loads to a plain sight where the prepaid meter can be installed to meet their standard of installation "sensibly" as a norm.
Orji Uzor Kalu, the senator representing Abia North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has urged President Bola Tinubu not to use military action against the Niger Republic’s Junta.
In a video shared on his Facebook page, Kalu warned the president not to let the United States of America (USA) and France force him to make militarily intervention in the Niger political crisis. Kalu said the political crisis in Niger Republic is an internal affair.
Kalu stated that no Nigerian soldier is worth losing in the crisis, and that Nigeria should withdrawal from the Economic Countries of West African States (ECOWAS), if the regional body insists that Nigeria must take military action against Niger Republic.
The key thing is seeing good in this evil and ultimately the greatness to be achieved at the end but wisdom is what will get us there. But if we fail the west wins because they are remoting us, AU currency will fail Africa as a united entity and people will be threatened.
The only issue now is to correct tinubu talk/action before reasoning.
Amateur at work. The ESN security outfit is only focus on Fulani bandit and herdsmen but not on general safety of the region. The ESN is MNK creation and one man solo operation yet bears the entire region name, it's not the endorsement of the regional government.
