obembet: When Kola Olawuyi died in 2007 at the age of 44, a lot of good people shed tears. The man once ruled the airwaves with his Iriri Aye radio program that I grew up to.
When it's 8pm on Fridays in the South West, it's normal to see a lot of people huddled up around radio sets in street corners, homes and electricians' workshops as they listened to Kola Olawuyi's program. It was a weekly ritual we grew up to.
Kola Olawuyi was larger than life. The number of cases he tracked down and brought to life have not been done by anyone else around here since his death. No one has had that kind of confidence since. Reverend King's case was brought to light by him. Churches whose owners buried people alive in their buildings as rituals to draw crowd.
A lot of cases of abused children and people claiming to be witches to hurt others. Aja ile (underground killing houses) stories where kidnappers' dens were raided by him and brought to light.
Blood ritual killings and ritualists in the south west. Heck, there was a woman called Malaika that said she was God and created everyone and could do what she liked with anyone until Kola Olawuyi dragged her to light, and more.
The man was fearless and appeared unstoppable. Listening to him was scary and exciting. On one hand you admired his courage. On the other, you feared for his life. It wasn't surprising then that when he died, a lot of people's default setting was "Oh, they got him finally." Perhaps even he had that thought at the back of his mind, hence, at the end of every show, he'd always say: "Aa ma be obe nii besu, atelese a bena wo. Eni ba ni a ma bo nikan lawa o ni de ba nle" (loosely translated we'll always go out to work. It's those that don't want us to return that we won't meet when we return). His life was a mystery too. Even though he was a member of the Redeemed Church, the number of occultic cases and ritual killers he took on and exposed made people believe he was occultic himself.
When news of his death broke, the default reaction from most people was that the witches and ritualists he exposed finally got him and killed him. Some said he cut a tree around his house after he was warned not to, hence his death. Others said some occultic groups that he belonged to even cut off his head after his death because he belonged to them.
In the end, to lay all of that to rest, his family had to have an open burial and open casket for the 44-year old so everyone could see that he died of natural causes and wasn't mutilated or anything.
But again, he rode the mystery angle really hard too while he was alive. Maybe he even stoked it.
Whenever it was 8pm on Fridays and you heard Hubert Ogunde's "Sigba Awo" (open the occultic calabash) start playing on Kola Olawuyi's Iriri Aye program, you knew it was going to be a tough night.
Continue to rest in peace.

general111: Hello good people of Nairaland. My fiancée to me today that her ex is requesting to meet her,and she was asking for my permission to go. Should I grant her this request or should I be worried?
Tell her if she goes,she should not return back to you but go ahead and marry the ex. She's not even sensible to even ask you or go behind your back.
UnproudLife: So it happened that at this certain time, I was running a lucrative business that had so much cashflow., to the tune of about 2-4m monthly and I married my long-time girlfriend whom I disvirgined and had been dating for 7 years.
The moment we married and started the family journey, I tried making conversations about having a core family standard that would make harmony stand the test of time. Note that I am a man who is disciplined and goal-oriented. So first I approached my wife with a conversation on how to both make meaningful contributions in getting the family from point A to B at all times, to be more detailed, one of the conversations we had was about our finances because I also mentored her in the same business and she was raking in cash as well and was profitable.
I asked her that we make it a habit of both of us making contributions, having a certain joint account where we drop in cash from a certain amount we make sure we get paid monthly from our businesses. This was because while I was a reasonable spender who knows that if I go broke nobody got my back in the whole wide world. I'm the kinda person who when I spend, let's say for example, 200k just knows I'm worth times 30 of that but even with that I didn't have a concrete structure in business, I just spend money or do things as though my business was an extension of me, which the same was my wife's as well. And this was the reason I wanted us to make the conversation and also do things together. So I told her when we get paid monthly from our businesses we send a certain percentage of it to a joint account to run the family and if I was doing let's say 70k she should do like 30k because, with all honesty, I valued her business at if not half of mine or slightly above it was close at the time. And this was immediately we got married oh.
I was met with strong refusal, as she told me I married her and it was my duty to cater for everything, but as a patient person that I am in not making my judgement rashly I kept trying to convince her. I did till when it dawned on me that we was stern with her objection. And then this created in me a sense of deep selfishness from my wife and also note that I wasn't ever nosey about her income and even though I had a way to access her accounts to monitor Everything I wasn't interested and I was being the sole provider in the family while I watched my wife spend her money how she liked, making decisions that should involve me with her sister and calling some things to surprise me, and I don't mean it negatively.
It happened that i started a project in building a house 3years before we married which I'd credit to her sisters's advice and by the time we married we were already done with the roofing, remaining plastering and the rest. We were living at a very moderate house in town but had this project at a suburb in lagos which we all know that as a lagosian is still Lagos but only that the area would be less expensive. So at a time we were planning moving to a better apartment in town when her sister and her friend advised we pour money in completing our own place to move in. After much convincing I agreed and God blessed the most during this period in business so I had a dream house kind of finishing to the interior and we moved in.
During this time we were managing living at our business place because I was still accommodating her in my business space and we lived there and went home ones or twice in 2 weeks as it was easier with my driving. We then had a certain disagreement that made my wife without my agreement move her business and everything to that house and the area sighting her sister advicing it be done. I winked at it for peace to reign and because I wasn't a fool. Sorry without having to correct what I typed up there, this was the real account of what happened. When we had our first child she moved directly there and I went home weekends while running both businesses with me just directing her staffs and guiding them with discipline. We all know when you leave business for strangers it's OYO but all that doesn't mean I was also having access to her money, the money went to her while I managed the business.
This also was playing out while we dated and got married in how she never likes making any expenditure in even the cost of executing her jobs, and she would rather blackmail which I don't buy and because at those times I stick to mindset in business she'd rebel and take rash decision that would later backfire. So that was how she came one day and moved her everything to the area where we built saying her sister advised it.
I was a faithful man, a born again personality who ever since I gave my life to Christ about 5years to our marriage I stopped having fornication even with her or anyone and till that point in the marriage. So as she had moved, ye little things I knew in her business started diminishing while I was running the family financially. But this lady was always making me feel less than a man because she was so so not submissive even though I married her with the us being both core Christians and born again where she was even more fired up than me so we all knew submissiveness was the watchword but she wouldn't sub to it at this point and when I was home she'd make life miserable for me shouting in an area that the voice travels far, insult my life telling me that she regretted marrying me because I was a person who just wouldn't budge and I used to say I don't "think" as in the thinking that leads to depression and I guess this was why she wasn't having it. I always found ways to channel my thoughts to things positive that gets me going and even forgiving her on time while she sometimes take days to stop keeping malice.
This lady graduated to the aspect of telling me she stooped so low marrying me and I could go out and meet other ladies that she wouldn't even give a damn, and this went on for a long time. Without exaggeration, I myself was someone that in her words she feel for initially because of my looks although I was 5"7 and she like 5"6 in height which isn't that short for a man. I knew how young in thought and look I was when I start taking care of myself and dressing nice again and without a doubt an handsome man, so it got to a point I said to myself I've had enough. At this time I was already lusting at my spec in ladies out there in which I married her like but she refused to remain at. I brushed off and even while being in my early 30s I had several ladies saying I looked 23-26 in age and I started meeting ladies and having affairs with multiple through platforms and it was mind-blowing to me because they were telling me I looked better in person even though the profile pictures I had were compelling themselves. So I had several young ladies wishing we were dating for real but u didn't want that and wouldn't lie to get them laid with promises but the only lie I told was that I wasn't married neither with kids which some weren't even suspecting not to talk of asking such. But something was just not clicking with the way guys if this age behave when I relate with them and this is when we have more deeper relations and then they start sensing the nature of responsibility which makes them ask if I was married.
So at this point I said to myself, I was separated from my wife and I told her in several occasions because I wasn't going home as often as before she noticed all the changes in my looks but cared less. I was so far gone in having other ladies that I didn't even know what could ever make me wanna get back with her again. But in all these I was still a man who doesn't believe in divorce, which is what I always tell her made her misbehave. Then lemme note this. I was so far gone playing churchy Al these years I never knew the age had turned around and ladies were now so much for sale, I could remember hearing the word hookup for the first time 2 years ago when I had started contemplating cheating and I turned so many girls down on those platforms when I understood what hookup meant. I mostly kept them friends online for whining and all and I went off without meeting anyone until last year, that same last year by almost the middle of the year I had my first encounter with a lady who was almost begging I had s*X with her right in my car as the car was tinted at the back, and this was while being friends. I refused and explained I had never done it before. But a month later I started getting in the act until miraculously this year at mid year I had been longing for a change in lifestyle when I got the gift of repentance right in church and I just at this moment didn't care what my wife had ever done to me, I just forgave her in my heart, asked for forgiveness from God. Then it has been happening lately by then that she had been begging me and her sister was saying she in the person of my wife was already fed up and wanted to beg back in good terms with me but you know basking in the love of flesh I wasn't into it and knowing she was the kind that goes back to her vomit. But at this point I determined to make her come where I was and then we reconcile. But shortly after I did restitution with her and told her all I had done and what she made be go into but to my surprise she was so disappointed crying and telling me all sorts which was surprising to me because I expected this woman should have already seen the writing on the wall because I don't know how to pretend at all but she said she never suspected that she knew I was a Christian. Although I played a clean game but was was obvious was the fact that I changed in looks and all and shouldn't that be glaring. And now she only sober occasionally when the thoughts kicks in
My main problem now is that, while my first child is a copy of me, I started seeing the looks of my sister in law's last born in my last kid, which my mum has vaguely noted and I seconded. We can't even nurture the thought as we just said it. But personally each day I now stay with the kid I keep looking the semblance and thinking what if my bro in law which is my sister in law's hobby fathered this child. You see that would have out the child conception at about 3 months before I ever started having affairs outside marriage. I just wish to know what you guys think because I haven't even been able to ask any question relating to that as my wife just seem to off to ever fall into such.
Please ignore any typo as it was long and I'm trying to get by with a new course and it'll be hard to go through what I've written again. Pardon me
I will only comment on the issue of the child. The way her sister was begging you to forgive her and all, shows something doesn't add up. Secondly, there's nothing wrong if they both have the same semblance as long as he looks like your sister in-law than the husband. But keep a close watch
N3wman: Hello Nairalanders! 🌟 Let's dive into a discussion about our experiences working in private companies across Nigeria. Your insights can be a guiding light for others navigating the professional realm. Share your thoughts on workplace dynamics, career growth, challenges faced, or any noteworthy experiences.
The first place I worked was a private school back in 2011. Every time the proprietress issues me cheque for my salary,she will instruct me to run to the bank without hesitation. Others that goes to the bank late won't be able to cash the cheque because the little in it has been collected by me and two others. I left after the waec exams when I found out some staff are being owed between 5-8 months salary.
NdubisiCharles: Good day pals, I have a sister whose husband abandoned for the past 8 yrs now, with kids, male and female, the boy is now 9yrs, while the girl is now 8 yrs, my sis was abandoned after giving birth to the little girl. She single handedly took the children far away and keep raising them up till date, now this is happening.
Yesterday, I received a call from my young sis, saying that her forgotten husband just called and was pleading for her return, that what will she do, that she needs my advice as senior, for me not to fall into conclusion I gave her 48 hours to reply to her, .....
Today I called the man (husband) he sounds so calm, "he said he need them back, he told me that he never chase my sis away, that it was my sis that carry her bag and left his house. Ran away with the 2kids, that he paid my sis bride price, he has visited my family for reconciliation but sis said she ain't going back that hunger is in the house, he admitted that then he was broke, "that he is not a drunker, womanizer, fetish, or never lay hand on my sis, and that he is God fearing man" only that he has no money when asked my sis she confirmed it.
Samsunny99: Love sometimes can hurt,a friend of mine came to me telling me how he loved a girl so dearly but the issue is that they are both AS, After finding out,he has really been sad about the turn of events, What is your advice or word of encouragement for him
He shouldn't be sad but thank God for the life of children saved.
We're family of 8 living closely together in the family compound. What happened here is that in 2009, shell company came to our community and and offered us and anyone interested a cheap and affordable borehole. We took the advantage to have borehole in our family compound.
Fast-forward to 2017, one of my brothers conceived the ideas of making pure water from the family water. The idea was a welcome development as we all donated towards the success of the business.
To cut long story short...
When the business became successful due to the environmental position (our compound is closed to border). My brother refused any member of the family an access to the benefits accrued the sale. My brother fought anyone who demand for a share from the sale. Literally most times in a week my brother could make a sale up 1m. In a week.
Currently, he is building another water factory unopposed by the family. Family compound is decaying and he said, he had no concern whatever happens in the compound and that his only concentration is in his business.
Being the last born in the family with negligence of help from the only brother who could recus me using that our local oil well. I decided to pick up a battle of GIVE ME MY SHARE OF THE PROFIT YOU MAKE FROM MY FATHER PROPERTY. The fight no be here. He is now asking us to come together so we can share properties so he can exonerates himself from the rest of us.
Please I need advice on how to crab my shares from this LIFETIME business.
He is a selfish elder brother. The proceeds from the business must be shared equally and the property must not be shared. If it's must be shared, not with the property. I don't understand why siblings begin to act selfish when they grow old? In this economy the idiot wan siddon ontop the profits.
Life2020: Hi, first I want to thank you all for your advise the last time i was here.
The last time I brought up my problems here, I vented out about how my husband is being a total pain in the ass.
The problem is one, he's cheating on me with several girls and still want to have sex with me but i refused stating that until he does a full STD test we are not having sex, simply put i need to Know that he is STD free before we have sex again.
Two, he's never at home, sometimes for two weeks he stays in hostels with girls, partying and spending his money, at first i tried to understand him because we did marry young, i felt that maybe he misses having his Independence, so at first i said nothing until it got worse. I now feel like a single mom, i do everything, the children don't even know anything about their dad, they see him as a stranger now, he's always cool towards them and i don't like it, have told him several times that i want the children to bound with him, i need them to have a good relationship with their father and have even advised him to take them out, maybe to a theme park or anything really but he has refused stating that he's busy.
Thirdly he body shames me, telling me that i look like a clown, I'm fit, it's not like I'm dirty or anything i take care of myself, i know he's lying because i have admirers, like a lot of them, ever since i started making money and could afford to employ workers, i have done everything to make myself look good, i go to the gym, do facials and i make sure I look beautiful, honestly I don't know what's wrong with him.
I have come to the conclusion that he is only saying it to be mean to me, maybe as a means of control, honestly i think he thinks if he makes me feel less than i am, to make me think i have no where else to go.
Thirdly when we first got married, we both agreed that he will go to the university first then later, i will also attend, after finishing his university education he couldn't find a job so i gave him two of my lands to start a business, he because successful in the business and his now lavishing the money. I have a farming business, it's very successful, with it i have many lands and i built the home me and my husband live in, ever since he started making money i advised him to build his own house but he has refused, instead he bought a fancy car, i want to build an estate so that i can have another source for revenue but for one reason or other, my husband is advising me against it.
Now back to me wanting to attend the university, i want to study accounting so that i can take my business to a new level but my husband has refused saying that he wants more babies, we already have twins (two lovely girls). i told him later, after I finish my university degree and our girls are a little bit older, we will have more kids
Now back to the present day, have decided I'm kicking my husband out. Recently, I noticed he was always at home, I was happy but surprised, I thought he had changed. I decided we need to spend time together as a family, I was even planning on us going on a vacation, give my children a life I wasn't opportune to live, I talked to him about it, we made plans, he agreed to go for a full STD test. I was happy little did I know that my so called husband has fathered another child outside our marriage, he told me this himself, saying all sorts of nonsense on how I should advise the girl to abort it so that we can be one big happy family, I just looked at him, I haven't said anything to him in days. But I have decided that I'm kicking him out. I want to do this in a way that it doesn't affect my children, I really want them to build a relationship with their dad but as for me I clocked out of this marriage a long time ago.
I was advised by my a friend to make a video while I kick him out but I'm not going to do, he's till the father of my child, and I don't want my children to grow up and find those videos honestly I just need emotional support while I go through this divorce.
Don't divorce him yet but tell him to leave the house that you need some space for a long time. Make sure he packs out but don't divorce him. If he's ready to be a husband and a father, he will change.
My name is Preston and I am 36yrs this year. I really need help. For the past 35yrs of my life I have never bleeped a girl or woman. The only thing I've done in the past was just to kiss, kiss and kiss. Another thing I do is to help myself through wanking.
Recently, I've got a girlfriend (actually my first). She loves me obviously from her actions. Because I feared I may not be able to satisfy her, I went to buy a drug from a drugstore. The Man told me to take it atleast 10-15mins before the actual sex. I did as instructed but it didn't work as just few thrust, and my yogurts were out. Another day she came when I least expected her. I attempted to do it with her this time. I allowed myself lie while she mounted my rod. Again, just few thrusts, and I was done. This is becoming quite embarrassing.
What can I do to solve this problem?
I would have introduced you to a natural products but let me know when you are preparing to marry her. I will send it to you as a wedding gift few days before the wedding.
QuinModah: HR Manager (HRM) and Finance Manager (FM): Controversial issue on payroll management.
There has been recent controversial issue between HRM and FM on who to manage payroll process for a newly established organization. Below is the discussion among CEO, FM and HRM.
CEO: As we all aware that this is the first management meeting of this newly established company. Please HRM share update on staff matters with management team.
HRM: Thank you CEO. We have successfully recruited 15 staff and I am working on their payroll for this month. Immediately I'm done, I would bring it to your table for final approval before forwarding to Finance Manager for payment.
FM: Please HRM, we need to get it right from inception especially on payroll management. If I may ask, I have few questions on your submission.
HRM: Please go-ahead FM.
FM: Please are you aware about latest Finance Act, 2020 which gives ways to new computation of Personal Income Tax (PIT) popularly called PAYE? Also, are you the one to be responsible for annual returns and tax audit with IRS. Finally, other parameters of payroll such pension, NHF, ITF and NSITF should be adequately managed to avoid fine and penalty.
HRM: Kindly note that payroll has to do with staff matter and anything that falls within this category, it is solely handled by HR. Also, on all your questions, we would take cognizance of it and revert if there is any clarification.
FM: Alright but you also need to take note of staff IOUs and advances that might have been posted into various staff accounts on SAP.
HRM: If you want to handle that responsibility, I might shift it to you for proper management as you claimed.
CEO: No at this moment, I intentionally allowed you guys to justify your positions. However, kindly do more consultation with various professionals in different industries and revert in the next meeting.
Please share your view on who to manage payroll.
I feel after the finance manager has prepared the payroll of all the staff cum taxes, pension and what have you, the HRM ensures every staff is captured in the payroll and get what they are supposed to get... Also, any staff that has any financial complaints goes to the HRM who in turn draws the attention of the financial manager.
Thank God the same TV station is owned by an Ibo man, and it was the same station that gave the nuisance Obi the little fame he had
Let's see how he survives without Arise TV and This day newspaper
If the ingrate bites the fingers that fed him, I pity him cos Arise TV isn't Atiku and PDP
AIT, TVC and Channels would roast him... NTA would bury him.... Obi just burnt out his media options
.
It's not owned by an Igbo man, rather an Ika man from Agbor. Agbor speak Ika. Make una dey get information right. Obaigbena's house in Owa-Oyibu is just a few distance from Okowa's house in Owa-Alero. Used to be 50 naira with bike.
Being a parent goes beyond paying people to look after your kids. It's negligence on the parents. What's Chioma walking up and down with big breast neglecting mother care. She has no business following Davido upandan. I blame Davido for not being disciplined to ask her to stay home for the child. If the child returns from school, the mother must be at home.You don't have a job but won't sit in one place. They are not ready to be parents. It just hurts cos of the little soul that died.
In the 90s we recite it on the assembly ground with the Muslim students on Fridays,then on Wednesdays they pray with us on fellowship days. But later on it was stopped. To your tent oh Israel and every Moslem to their kettles on Friday.
Russia will never abandon their source of blessing for someone else's own.
Africa should beware of the wicked West. Infact, we should develop our oil infrastructure very well because the West will come running for it later Develop oil and other infrastructures and forget their climate change wahala.
Shaggyswang2: I am a warri boy, and I love cooking
I had been craving for plantain peppersoup and mumsi recently sent me some unripe plantain so I decided to give it a go.
Ingredients: Red pepper, yellow pepper Onion Scent leaves Old layer chicken Dried catfish Round smoked fish Big crayfish Ginger Plantains
Preparation:
Peel plantains and cut each into three. Soak in cold water. Pluck head off all big crawfish. Throw heads of crayfish into a blender with the pepper (red and yellow) and onions. Blend. Wash chicken and parboil with Benny chicken flavor, maggi, sliced onions, curry, a pinch of salt and a little thyme.
Cooking:
When chicken is well cooked and stock is formed, add in round smoked fish, dried catfish and big crawfish. Let it boil a little while and add the blended pepper paste. When that boils up start adding your seasoning. For me, well ground ginger, supreme pepper soup spices and maggi naija pot only. The chicken stock brings all the saltiness and flavour you need. Throw in your plantain and allow to boil for about 20 mins. Slice your scent leaves and put it in. Give it a good mix and you're good to go!
We don't add curry and thyme for steaming chicken for peppersoup in Warri. Make the pepper soup no get curry or thyme taste. It's called Ukodo.
Ebenman: I meant a lady 3 months ago. After we talked, she began to show interest in me, but she wasn't my standard, so I wasn't feeling the same way.
My standards are: 1. At least she must be a graduate 2. She should be self-sufficient (earning something reasonable) 3. At most 5-6 age difference between us 4. Looking calm and understandable 5. She must be an average-height lady
This lady, in particular, is an NCE holder, working as a teacher, earning little because of her level of education. She is just in her early 20s, and I am almost 8 yrs older than her. She is from a poor background and has 2 other younger siblings. She is also not tall and looks like an average girl.
She is very decent (a virgin) and loyal to me. I have told her severally that she is not my standard and I wasn't interested in her, but she refused to listen and began to feel very insecure. Maybe because I earn well and she knows I will soon get married.
She now comes to my house almost every weekend because I am very accommodating. Recently she has been telling me to delete the pictures of other females friends, in which I asked her on what grounds I should do that.
Note: I don't want to invest in a lady that is not my wife, and I am afraid her family will see me as a rich guy from which her other siblings can benefit if I proceed with her.
Should I block every contact with her, or should I forget about standards and risk and look at the good side?
Please advice
She will give you peace of mind, marry her. No go marry olosho slay queen.
As seen this morning; obidients gathered at Owa-Alero, Okowa's town for labour party rally. I saw a bloodied obedient, and when I enquired from a youth , I was told they are being attacked. I couldn't take that shot for security reasons. They will be matching all through Agbor today. ....more updates...soon
GreatBoss: Zombiedients will lie to themselves say Udom have one vote. Haha.
