No, the are ona kakanfo wields more power in the Yoruba empire than any other tittle, he controls the whole millitary structure of the Yoruba empire, that is why he is prevented from residing near the empire capital (Oyo alafin), after him is the bashorun, the alafin is being checked by the Oyo messi's, which bashorun is the leader, and the Oyo messi's are being checked by the ogboni cult, the are onokakanfo controls the seventy ESO of the alafin, which are respected individuals, of which timi of ede town is inclusive, but no one check the are ona kakanfo, this is the reason why the are is not allow near the alafin palace, to prevent treason, the Yoruba empire was able to stand strong for centuries because of these check on power, if a strong alafin rules, it will be replace by a weak one, and on like that, and the Oyo mesi's may compel the alafin to commit suicide, if he is not wanted by the people, most obas are under the alafin, except the oni of ife, cause that's where the first alafin hails from (oranmiyan), and it is forbidden to wage war on the alafin or the oni, because those are the ruling head, I'm not saying bowing to are is right, but cinsidering the power the are wields, it's not surprising.

I am a native of Oyo town, of the balogun clan, that's why I know all these

Thanks for this insight.

You guys have a very sophisticated hierarchy.

What's the relationship and differences between the Ooni and Alafin?

If only our soldiers can paint their names in gold like this...

The ones they painted in the past, right from the Nzeogwu coup, got us here.

Is it whites that own all the clubs in Nigeria?

How about other African clubs?

They are not using Mopol to sell clubs. If you drop the right amount of money, and the owners are willing to sell. They'll sell it to you.

Blacks are overrepresented in both the NBA and NFL. Have you heard a word from whites about marginalization?

What's the name of the girl that walked past at the 7th second mark?

Artiiclebeast:
Hmmm

The babe collect well and her only regret is that she gave room for you to suspect.

She'll only get smarter and adjust her timing to avoid your monitoring spirit.

Shine your eye...

I dey tell you.

One girl like that had a video call monitoring spirit.

She'll come and collect, then go home around 10PM for their video call.

It's hard to prevent someone from doing what they want to do.

It's not same bro. Is 10milliin naira not 11000 dollars? Now Nigerians are asked to bring 1million dollar in Ghana! That's a whole 450milliin naira!

Well, we can't tell other countries what their laws should be.

We also have our own peculiar restrictions.

Here are some examples...

Bluntguy:
Ghana seems to be the only country I know where there is separate laws for its local business men and non-Ghanians. Or are they still pained by the border closure by the Nigerian government which they see as being targeted at them? Because the above listed laws suddenly came into effect the moment Nigeria closed her borders against smugglers. All this is just bad belle.

We actually have very similar laws.

A foreigner wishing to register a business in Nigeria needs to have a minimum share capital of N10,000,000.

A Nigerian citizen, on the other hand, needs a minimum share capital of N10,000.

Dedetwo:
The above regulations are antihuman and specifically anti-immigrants. The regulations are simply draconian. These freaking Ghanaians cannot survive a day if other Africans state stood up such laws against Ghana as a country. Where are the doctrines of ECOWA? These retrogressive policy and Ghanaian government should be hold accountable for this inhumanity against fellow Africans. What a shame.

Most countries have protectionist policies.

Canada has plenty against US goods, etc.

Additionally, we also shut our land borders against Ecowas protocol...

4tomandchi:
Nothing truly last forever some year ago it was "Ghana Must Go" fast forward to present time it's "Nigeria Must Go". God please deliver Nigeria from backwardness.

My brother, they actually didn't first.

Ghana-must-go, was retaliation.

This is breaking and entering...

Note: it's a bit long... I could have summarized but I want those contributing to get a crystal clear picture of the situation, so that they can give better and specific advice.

The major problem here is that she mixes up things to be done in the kitchen with things done only in the toilet.

I have been married to my wife for over a year now (no kids yet) and there are certain unhygienic habits she has been displaying, since we started living together. I have been seeking ways to help her improve on it, but a calm correction from me always leads to a bitter argument between us. (She claims I complain too much whenever I point it out)

For example, she always clears her throat early in the morning and spits in the kitchen sink. (despite the fact that we have 2 toilets with wash hand basins; one in the room and also a guest toilet, with a wash-hand basin which is basically 3 steps from the kitchen). Then she goes to the bathroom, gets her toothbrush and comes back to the kitchen to brush her teeth, while doing several things with toothpaste and saliva drooling from her mouth all through.

The other day, she prepared breakfast (spaghetti) for both of us with the drooling toothpaste mouth and i refused to eat from it. I didn't complain to her either, until she asked why I didn't take my portion of the spaghetti from the pot, later that evening. I mentioned to her that, as always I find it disgusting to eat spaghetti, seasoned with toothpaste drool and saliva. The response I got from her was a hiss and then she said that, next time I should inform her if I am not going to eat the food she cooked so that she would not cook for me."

I let that slide but I felt she missed the point. The next day was her birthday and I decided to prepare breakfast for her.
While I was in the kitchen cooking, she came in with the same drooling toothpaste mouth to take a kitchen Scissors in order to cut something on her pants, even though we have another scissors in the room for such purposes. In the process of trying to pick the scissors, her hands which were covered with toothpaste drool had to cross the pot which I was cooking with. I mentioned to her that I was not comfortable with that and she just hissed as usual, still picked the Scissors and left the kitchen while angrily saying that I am just a complainer. I lost it at this point and proceeded to give her a lecture in anger about basic hygiene and why I can not keep quiet over these things because we live in a shared space and how her actions have a direct effect on me. It ended in a shouting match till she kept quiet, without accepting she was wrong.

This is the pattern almost everything takes when I try to correct her. The worst part is that I would still have to be the one to apologize for shouting at her because if I don't, I might be subjected to a week long silent treatment which I dread.

There are other more unhygienic things that are done by her, which I might not be able to post here due to the fact that I am not completely anonymous and she is still my wife but I hope this information is enough for someone to understand my frustration and profer a solution.

As you have already discovered from experience: lectures dont work.

You can talk from now till the next 20 years and she will keep doing these.

There needs to be a consequence.

Become unreasonable too.

Escalate the situation.

Do things she finds annoying, irritating, disgusting WHENEVER she does what you don't like.

Psychologists call it operant conditioning...

I can personally go as far as pissing in the room, if I find her actions disgusting enough.

Show her you are also a mad person and she will behave herself.

You didn't start it. She did.

Nice people are always taken for granted.

I wonder why all d Human Rights Organisations, Human Right Activists & other Civil Society Organisations are so chicken-hearted & hiding in holes at such a critical time as dis when their actions are much needed!

Does dt mean they all view citizens' right 2 peaceful assembly, association & protests as an aberration & uncalled for in d Nigerian democracy?

Why are they muted, for crying out loud?

Must everybody be a coward in d presence of a known tyrant operating within d context of democracy?

If they eventually fail 2 play their role as one of d integral pillars of democracy, both ancestry & posterity wil impute it unto them as being more brutal & wicked than Buhari-led govt in its entirety!

Frankly, all dis things no balance, at all!

Activism no be degree.

This thing you typed now means you are already an activist.

So wetin remain now na make you go protest.

Nigerian billionaires are the most casual set of billionaires in the world, from Teony Elumelu to Dangote to Femi Otedola, they act like every normal human being.

Very funny.

Before? Should they snuff gold?

This isn't unique to Nigerians.

Amazon had to ban many US sellers because they hoarded hand-sanitizer and other related supplies when the corona stuff started.

This guy for example was stuck with 17k bottles of hand sanitizers after he got banned: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/technology/coronavirus-purell-wipes-amazon-sellers.html
