TravelRe: Help! Passport Issue Is Making Me Dejected! by ankaravillageng: 11:29am On Jun 19, 2021
Originalsly:
Hmmm.... they called you.to let you know you have a fully funded scholarship..... letter not ready.... submit Passport in 5 days ... and no red flag went off in your head?
What is the name of the University?.... which country?... did you apply?... what's so special about you that they will offer you full scholarship? ... are they housing you? How are you u getting there?... passport no be ticket.
Focus on regaining your common sense.

Same thing that came to my mind. Admission without admission letter looks very fishy.

Op calm down, get the admission letter, I'm sure if you write your school on the reason beyond your control they would understand.

If you are not in a hurry you can try CIIN, next exam should be around Oct. You'll write 5 courses, result released like 3-4weeks after the exam, and certificate released in January.

He is very much alive, I think he is in a relationship with someone over there and trying to kick me out of the way painful but that’s the honest truth probably because of papers or money I really can’t fathom. But I know I will pull through
That's just pure wickedness, please stay strong, get back your single self and start living life again. If you do decide to move on please involve the elders in your family. They have to go to his family and traditionally put an end to the nonsense ( if there is anything like that) then you can find a way to legally separate from him.

When he knows he would go AWOL I wonder why he came home to tie you down in a loveless heartless marriage.

He does, I know he was working full time( doing two jobs) and I asked him then that hope it won’t get him into trouble with immigration, he said no that there is a way they do it without immigration finding out. Except he wants to fast track everything and doesn’t want to be patient cause I see no reason with the game he is playing and to what end? When the truth will eventually come out sooner or later.
If only you have someone that can approach him one on one there. Cause I have racked by brain for a thousand and one reasons why this is happening and the only logical explanation is death and we know for a fact he is alive. Me I don't know the reason for this wickedness.

Sorry about this unfortunately Green poo is not cocci , do u have more remaining if yes how are they doing now
Good afternoon sir, my turkey of about 6months and 4 months is also not able to walk. Poo is also liquid green. One died a few days ago before this two suddenly started showing same symptom. What can I do I don't want it to die. I have isolated them from the others.

Please I need help.
My turkey of 6months is unable to walk. This stated like two day ago. I don't know what the problem is. Before this it seems very healthy.
Problem is this is not the first. A smaller one of about 4months also had this problem but I thought it was because a bigger turkey sat on it but I don't think that is the case for this one.

Can anyone tell me what to do. It's really struggling, it just crawls on its knees all over the place.
I had to separate it from the other cause they are just bullying it.

It’s easier said than done, I’m pretty sure if you were in my shoes you won’t say this, it’s very painful cause I don’t deserve this happening. Imagine if it was the other way around, will you tell me to wait for karma? Or if I was your blood relation, won’t you want to get to the root of the matter? I just feel whatever is going on he should be man enough and feel me in, I wont kill him if he does.
I can't say I totally understand you but I do sympathise with you. Even when you find the truth and it hurts, you'll might feel like taking a pound of flesh but try to just resist, it would be hard I know, infact it might be impossible, but try you best to leave him to his cross.

Whatever the case is he should be man enough to let me know what the problem is, if it’s a relationship it’s much better but marriage( it takes two tango) because when things like this happens everyone blame the woman without understanding the in-depth of things.

TravelRe: The Untold Story Behind Mobee Royal Family Slave Museum by ankaravillageng: 9:12pm On May 22, 2021
OBALORLA:
https://i2.wp.com/www.nomadicnegro.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/IMG_20161124_172238-1.jpg?resize=750%2C437

The amazing revelations I heard at the first storey building gave me more ginger to push peter into driving straight to the Mobee royal family slave museum and he gladly obliged.
On getting to the quiet environment which housed the museum, we met them at the entrance, all adorned in white and black branded t-shirts. What caught my attention the most were the girls in their midst. These girls rocked different colours and designs of bum shorts but in spite of this diversity, one thing unified them all- “their fresh laps” these laps could distract even the holiest man in that vicinity on that sunny afternoon.
While I stared at the laps, myriads of thoughts flooded my mind but I was called to order when Peter slammed the car’s door. I never knew that was the beginning of my woes. Peter had already parked the car, so he joined me by the narrow corridor which served as the entrance of the museum. We were welcomed by a group of guys whose eyes were too scary because it looked as though smoking was their habit. This marked the first turn off for me but I tried masking my disappointment with a straight face.
We greeted as expected and immediately requested for the cost of gaining entrance, which one of them replied #200 per head. Since we were two, I had to pay #400 for our heads, so we could gain access to the monument.
On getting inside, my second woe embraced me as I looked on in anger how these branded guys and girls we earlier saw were wasting too much time taking unnecessary pictures. I doubted if they really came for tourism.
They continued this for over 45 minutes while I hoped they’d soon finish, but I was running out of patience when it though seemed they weren’t going to stop, so I shouted at the guy who was supposed to guide us through the museum to hasten them up before he told me they came for a photo shoot and not for tourism. I kept my cool but was still visibly furious.


They kept begging me to give them some more time but I didn’t even answer till they finally left. It pained me a little that they were leaving because all along, I stole few glances at the girls’ seductive laps while I faked an unhappy countenance.

Then the museum attendant (one of those scary guys) interrupted my though of tapping one of the girls on her back side when he rushed in to run us through the history behind the Mobee Royal Family Slave Museum.



INTRODUCTION
he started by telling us that During the slave era, Badagry as a whole served as a slave corridor where slaves were brought from all over the country e.g oyo, Ibadan, Ogun etc to be exported to different parts of Europe.
In Badagry was also a market called Blekete slave market (established in 1502). On every Blekete market day, 300 slaves were being sold on the average per day and 17,000 yearly.
So anyone bought by the whites will immediately be branded using a hot iron to crest the name of the owner on the slave’s body, before being chained around the neck and feet for the minimum of 18hours daily (depending on how long a slave will stay before being shipped out) and marched on a single file to the point of no return (a location across the lagoon where the shipment will take place).



Material That Can Be Found Inside The Mobee Royal Family Slave Museum

We were firstly shown different sets of chains:
• A mouth-lock which was used in preventing the slaves from talking to each other and from eating the sugarcanes in the plantation.
How this works is that these metals will be inserted into the fire to make them red-hot before being inserted In between the lips of the slaves, leaving them to growl in pain while they work on the plantation.
• A hand chain which is used to hang any stubborn slave to a tree while others continue working.
• Hand cuffs for babies are used to chain kids together so that they won’t be disturbing their parents while working.

• A metallic staff of office which one of the servants of the chief usually carries along whenever the chief is going out. The sound which emanates from shaking the staff alerts everyone around that the chief is close by. So on sighting the chief, males prostrate while females will knee to show respect.

• cowries
I was meant to understand that the whites on their arrival don’t (and weren’t ready to) know how cowries worked in Nigeria as a legal tender, so they introduced barter system to settle the problem of exchange. To achieve this, they brought in items such as dry gin, canon gun, gun powder, mirror, camera etc in exchange for human beings.

A calabash containing cowries


He continued by telling us that a small canon gun is usually exchanged for 50 human beings while the big ones will procure 100.

During this period also, “these canon guns served as different notifications whenever they were shot, and this was how it worked:
A canon gun is being shot thrice daily. The first shot is aimed at telling every slave that its time to go to the farm to work. The second shot is to alert everyone that work has started on the farm and the last shot is to warn people to stay indoors (that is after the working hours) as anyone caught after this period will be captured as slave.

A big canon gun used in exchange for 100 human beings



I quickly thought within me that, so some people were actually free. If this is true, then it means our agonies were brought upon us by our selfish leaders. Because what this implies is that these chiefs actually have slaves which they in turn sell to the whites as slaves. smh

• Next was a horrible looking drinking pot with rough edges which sat at a corner of the room. It looked more like a cone. I was moved to tears when he explained how the slaves were meant to drink from the pot:

Watch the explanation in this short clip here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBAUCjfHfRk



TYPES OF SLAVES
• Then I was shown a picture of a castrated slave with a sorry look on his face. My guide further enlightened that there were 2 types of slaves in that era: Domestic and field slaves. The male domestic slaves were usually castrated to prevent them from having sex with the wives and/or daughters of their owners since they were always at home majorly for house chores. The field slaves on the other hand were the able-bodied ones who spend most of their time working on the farm.

THE HISTORICAL AGIA TREE
• Next was the picture of Agia tree- the giant tree where Christianity was firstly preached in Nigeria (in September 1842) this tree also doubled as the spot where Christmas was first celebrated in Nigeria.
Though it finally collapsed in 1959- a year before Nigeria’s independence after spending 350 years erected.

• Lastly we were made to know when slave trade stopped in various parts of the world after lasting for close to 400 years.

Dates when slave trade stopped in different parts of the world.

He was about rounding up by a closing remark when I pointed his attention to a grave inside the museum.

The True story behind the Mobee Royal Family Slave Museum

Chief Mobee was actually a popular and very influential chief who actively engaged in the slave trade during his reign. His real name does not have Mobee in it. I was about asking how the Mobee came about when he interrupted by telling me that during that era, whenever the white slave traders came around, he’d tell welcome them by saying “e mu obi je” in Yoruba. What this means is that they should pick colanut and eat. He never fails to do this every time they come. And since the whites don’t really understand him, they started calling him chief “mu obi” later it transcended to Mobee and before long, the name Mobee stuck. The family also adopted this name ever since till this day.
“Chief Mobee who was later succeeded by his son who played a pivotal role in ensuring slavery stopped in Badagry. When he ascended the throne in 1886, he welcomed the missionaries who helped actualized this dream of putting an end to slavery. He died on the 16th of October 1893.

Though we weren’t given the best of hospitality because the guide was visibly rushing to god knows where.
This reception is one of the major reasons why I listed Mobee Royal Family Slave Museum among the places I wont advice anyone who wants to tour badagry to visit.. I came to this conclusion when I visited Seriki Abass slave museum the next day.

We left there few minutes to 5pm after taking few picture even though it wasn’t to our satisfaction.
Peter ignited the car while I fastened my seat belt.

samguru:
Thank you all for your contributions,I just reached out to the lady via phone,she insulted me and my generations unborn.

After the whole bruhaha, she said ,if my friend wants to see the boy,he should send #1million to her account and she will make arrangement on where to meet.

I thought she was joking,I told my friend to send her #100k at least to persuade her and all the expenses she has incurred in raising that boy, immediately she sent the #100k back to my friend and said if the #1m is less by a kobo,he should just forget he has a son somewhere.
What kind of woman is this?
This conversation, I hope it was recorded.
Keep provoking her, go to the son's school, visit him there, pay his school fees directly to the school, if he has funds, let him pay for a whole year upfront, she would most likely change his school, just keep provoking her and keep documenting it.
Let him keep sending money to her every month of course she would send back. He should try everything possible to make peace with her and her family. We already know she's going to refuse and probably threaten to kill the child again.
Within a year I believe if she's as bad as you claim you should have enough evidence to sway in court.
He has been away from the boy since 2016 one more year would not kill him. But from experience she can't keep child away from his father, the boy is going to grow up and ask for his dad but don't wait for that, get your son as soon as possible.

I'm about to go to my institution to prepare and send my transcript to WES while I wait for my other institution to call of their strike.

The problem now is
1) my OND statement of result which I'm about to prepare transcript for and send to WES,my name was misspelled with one letter, eg; instead of one 'r' they typed two 'r'.
2) and again I intend to include my middle name in the OND result,I never taught I'll use it again not until now,then I felt reluctant about the middle name not until now. Its just my surname and first name which was misspelled that's what's in my OND result, of which my BSC carrries my middle name,all full names spelled correctly, also my passport matches by BSC

In this scenerio pls FAM!! How can I approach it so as to get the best of it, to merge the names,will I have a problem doing this.

Please nairalanders help me with credible information because I don't know how to go about the issue effectively??
If you can get your institution to rectify the spelling error on your OND I think it would be okay without the middle name. And if Wes needed any further clarification you can provide, maybe something like a same person affidavit.
