Not true! The widow of one rich Igbo trader in my childhood neighborhood got the shock of her life when her late husband's brothers showed up in Lagos to throw her and her kids (including a boy) out of the house. She went from house to house in the neighborhood, weeping profusely and begging for help and couldn't get back into the house for a whole month and only after intense intervention by the chairman of the neighborhood association and police! True talk!

"one may encounter this sort of BS only among[b] semi-literate or unexposed families [/b]especially where the widow is timid and allows herself to be bullied"

moreover there are many thousands of Nigerian Muslim students studying [in] the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala in Iraq.

everyone should be respect for the personal choices they make and what they decide to believe in.

Such marks, are visible, on the upper arms or bosom or tummy,

Kick as much as you like. Your problem is that you people dont want to see anybody else progress. The wanton destruction of Hausa property in jos and its environs adds only to this fact. There is nothing religious in the Plateau crisis. The amazing fact is that there was never anyday that the so called indegenes go to the market and get turned back.
The women are hard working and resourceful while the men spend their days under trees and their evenings in Burukutu joints wasting away their lives and blaming their misfortunes on people that work hard to better their lives.
The sooner you get the fact that jos was first settled by the Hausas and they are going no where into your thick heads the better.

@ Blacklion, that is a very very old story na.

The past two weeks must have been the most trying times in the six-year-old marriage of Folorunsho Odegbaike and her husband. On February 13, their 10-month-old baby, Enioluwa Odegbaike went missing from their Magodo home while in the custody of a nanny they hired just two weeks before.

The family reportedly never allowed the nanny to take Enioluwa outside the house; but she took the boy while his mother, a former Airtel employee, was in the shower.

“The person who introduced the nanny to the family has been arrested and is being quizzed by the police,” he said.

Not defending Allison-Madueke, as I believe her to be corrupt anyway, but Nigerians need to drop the witch-hunt mentality to understand that virtually all the children of all our politicians/wealthy elite are like this i.e over-indulged, usually obese, vacuous and hedonistic.

The children you raise is one measure of practical intelligence. Most wealthy Nigerians make the big mistake of assuming they should automatically give their children everything they never had without understanding that it will then be virtually impossible to raise driven, motivated, humble, ambitious and productive kids if nothing provides the hunger that creates outstanding adults.

When you give a child an Audi TT at 17, what will be his motivation to work hard ? I actually pity these kids. Born into wealth without the requisite parental intelligence needed to mould them into disciplined creatures who grow up to be independent, well adjusted and exemplary adults.

By virtue of having family members involved in politics, I know personally that Allison-Madueke's kids look no different to children of politicians from every damn corner of Nigeria i.e usually overweight, arrogant, vacuous, celebrity/bling obsessed, gluttonous and generally apathetic to their environment by virtue of not having to think much since everything is provided/done for them.

My only surprise was that when we try to get police report for our stolen propertys, police advice us not to. They said we should check under the bridge the next day for our wallets, only thing we can't get back is our phone and money we had in our wallets.

Believe the story to be 100% true. I work in apapa and take the route to oshodi every working day. Last week just infront of our vehicle at mile 2, a guy and his female colleague were robbed around 6pm in the traffik without the boys being armed as you will see them again anyday anytime almost the same place. Besides, the oshodi boys are always in groups and batches around charity in front of army baraks everyday. No police to challenge them again or ar they working together?They always desturb and threating tokunbo cars and trucks. But now they hv advanced to rob anyone even during day light. Next time you are in the area, be careful friends.
