Pressure from who and from where, pls?

I think individuals put themselves under pressure, by themselves in their quest for materials things and the quest to blow, then they turn around and want to blame it on other people or society.

Is a gun being held to Sikira's head under mad pressure to run things with one big god father, somewhere?

Is Audu under mad pressure, at gun point, to scam or ritualize people?

As individuals we always have a choice in this life! Your life is also yours to build, it is not for others to steer.

I chose to live where I live now, I chose to decline a job offer @ MVP, I chose to turn down Kadiri's sexual advances while accepting Kelvin's for xyz reasons, I chose not to visit the baba's place for anything............these are just examples of choices, we all make on a regular.

Pressure may come from certain quarters like peers, family etc but at the end of the day, you get to decide by yourself and for yourself, what to do.

You answered yourself in the statement "Let us explode and see how mama gets angry and wipes us off her surface".
We deceive ourselves to think that we control nature, when you take one here from nature, you give one there back to nature - matter cannot not be created or destroyed at worst it is converted to energy. Man does not have what it takes to control nature, he is material and a subject of the material world. If you overpopulate nature will trim you, if you underpopulate nature will punish you, the optimum population at any given time is determined by mother nature and not our science.

Interesting convo on this thread.

Somehow, most of the men are 'insensitive' to the fact that the OP is doing everything in that marriage while the husband is coasting.

Well, most men can't fathom the drain that comes with providing + house keeping + child raising when you are not a single mother. They have never worn that shoe nor seen anyone wear it.

Let me paint a scenario:

Imagine a husband working, taking care of the kids alone and doing house keeping because his wife can't/won't (she is not sick). When you can wrap your head around it, let's talk.

Even when you have issues, develop the ability to see the person suffering beside you.

To Chinnybaby190:

I don't know the type of marriage ceremony you had nor have I heard of one that allows you end your marriage because your husband is financially handicapped. undecided

Strange that you are considering leaving your child behind: for who? Your husband who can't take care of himself financially or your aunt you are squatting with? Let's assume that part is 'asodun'. shocked

You acknowledged your husband had a 'hustling' spirit so we have someone to work with.

Unfortunately, your husband does not have the luxury of 'what he wants to do/feel like doing'. Also, one of the signs of adulthood is to show up even when you don't feel like showing up.

You need to rouse him from his comfort zone firmly and with love. What can he do? What skills can he quickly sell? Guide him into that. Ginger and hype him till he gets himself. Also engage him on his plans: when are you leaving your aunt's place etc. That would make him see he needs to wake up.

I understand the stress of staying with your aunt: the dent to your esteem, the embarrassment and having to be extra tolerant aka lay low. Keep enduring it, it is part of the thorns of life.

Once in a while, take a breather: read a book, put your feet up, let your hair down, dance, whatever to break the monotony and make you feel alive again.

I really appreciate your aunt: she has done what a lot of parents and siblings would find hard doing. Her loss of space, walking on eggshells (some things she can't speak against so you don't feel bad, the extra expenses, etc.)

God bless her.

Nigerian musician, Akinmayokun Awodumila, popularly known as MayD has taken to social media to jubilate after his marriage to his long time white boo, Caroline Wassmuth crashed, Igbere TV reports.

MayD and Caroline walked down the aisle in November, 2018 after they dated for many years and they are blessed with a son.

Igbere TV recall that in 2018, after their legal wedding in 2018, MayD took to social media to share photos and captioned it “Off the market”.

Announcing the end of their union, MayD took to micro blogging platform, Twitter to celebrate.

I am 19 d eldest of 3 my brother is 15 and my sister is 10. We lost our mother 3 years ago since then everything has been hard cos my mum was d only one who worked hard for us to be well , my dad is an alcoholic he has never bothered about us. After d burial we packed out from d 2 bedroom house that my mum rented to a room . The room is so small it’s not very safe for my sister to be staying with 3 men in d house. My mum sister has been trying to convince dad that he should allow my sister stay with her but my dad has bluntly refuses.. For example she started her period she was shy to talked to me or my dad so she been struggling all alone and has hidden all her dirty period panties under her suitcase mixing it will all her clean clothes it was my brother who found them and showed to me , it was so disgusting to see when I ask her why did she not tell me or my dad about her period , she said she couldn’t tell us because we are boys. And yes she was right if she was with my aunty she wouldn’t be shy to tell her and I have reason with my dad why we should let her go , he still refusing saying as long he is alive he would not allow any of us to go and stay with our mum relatives. My sister is so eager to go and stay with my aunty she been crying all the time pleading with dad to let her but dad is adamant that she is not going anywhere.
He is not also doing his parental responsibility for us I am the one who is feeding the house with the little I get from work , I and my brother hadn’t been schooling for almost 3 years now , my sister is still in school but d way things seems to be I don’t think my dad would send her to school this term.
My brother and I are also struggling and suffering but we are men we should hustle hard but my sister doesn’t deserve all this treatment for her sanity she must leave this house . I really feel sorry for her cos she deserve to be in a good place with a mother figure cos there is a lot of things that she need to learn which neither my dad or I can help her with.
My dad doesn’t know where my aunty stay I want to take my sister there without his consent and please do you think I should do it or just let my poor sister to suffer the same way we are suffering?
Get her to open up to you guys, you would always be her family and read up things about puberty in females (Every Woman) is a fantastic read so you can guide her better.

Depending on your religion, you can also get a mother figure (pastors wife, Sunday school teachers, Imam's wife, Alhaja with female kids etc). She might not visit them, she can just have decent rapport after service/jummat.

Like others have said, your dad might want to prevent people taking advantage of his daughter; he might also remind him of your mum or the fact she is female + last born makes her dear to his heart.

As she grows, take her through the basics of domestics like chores, cooking, cleaning etc.

Let her also use this opportunity to learn resilience and contentment.

@Schooling: can your Aunt pay part of her schools whilst she is at your place if she can't afford all the fees. Can you also explore enrolling her into public school temporarily so she has a bit of education?

If the above stiil doesn't work, get your aunt to come ask for your sister herself.

It is well and sorry this responsibility has been thrust on you at such a young age.

P.S.: What are the plans for yourself? Is there someone you can work for to let you school or something?

Jama jama hustling is not sustainable in the long run.

Business › Re: Health Plus In Power Struggle With Private Equity Investor: Alta Semper Capital by bukatyne(op): 3:20pm On Sep 28, 2020
A new position was created for Mr. Chidi Okoro: Chief Transformation Officer which sounds more like a strategic role than executive.

Does it mean there is no CEO or the Board now functions as the 'CEO.'?

A sad one for Ms. Bukky George.

Let's watch how it unfolds.
Business › Health Plus In Power Struggle With Private Equity Investor: Alta Semper Capital by bukatyne(op):
On September 25, a press release appearing to be from the Board of HealthPlus, one of West Africa’s largest integrated pharmacy chains, stated that the company no longer needed the services of its Founder, Bukky George, as CEO.

The decision to terminate George’s appointment came with the announcement of an interim leader: Chidi Okoro.

A renowned pharmacist and management executive, Okoro is to assume the role of Chief Transformation Officer. Akin to a CEO’s role, Okoro will optimise day-to-day management, help the business scale, and attain profitability.

And a letter appearing to be from HealthPlus’ board to the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) says George “remains a shareholder of the company, a member of the board of the company, and can participate in the decision-making process of the company at board level.” It was signed off by Afsane Jetha and Zachary Fond, Managing Partner & CEO, and Director of Alta Semper Capital, respectively.

From investment and partnership to a power struggle
Alta Semper Capital LLP is a private equity (PE) firm that invests in healthcare and consumer companies across Africa. In 2017, the PE firm invested in Egyptian medicated cosmetics company, Macro Pharma.

The following year, it made deals with HealthPlus and Moroccan oncology and radiology clinic, Oncologie et Radiologie du Maroc (ODM). The investment in HealthPlus was $18 million.

Founded in 1999 by George, HealthPlus has grown to over 90 retail outlets while employing over 850 people including more than 150 pharmacists. In Nigeria, the company claims to be present across 11 of the country’s 36 states. It is also known to operate branches in strategically-located residential areas, airports, and shopping malls.

The investment from Alta Semper Capital was to help HealthPlus expand its store footprint. Also, to hire more talent, develop distribution centres, and explore eCommerce initiatives. However, the influx of cash is said to have given the PE firm a majority stake of the company, which is one of the reasons for the troubles facing the company at the moment.

In a statement outlining reasons for George’s termination, the board, which seems to be headed by Alta Semper, stated that since the COVID pandemic began it tried exploring ways to grow HealthPlus with her, but there was little or no progress. So they had to change the leadership.

However, the management team of HealthPlus came out to debunk these claims the following day.

“We wish to inform the general public, the Pharmacists Council of Nigeria, our staff, loyal customers, vendors, landlords, bankers and all stakeholders that the press release was not authorised by the Company or anybody acting on its behalf. And that the announcement of the appointment of a CTO is wholly false, wrongful and illegal and should be totally ignored. It is the handiwork of unscrupulous foreign and local businesswomen and businessmen intent on reaping where they have not sown simply because they now see opportunities from the COVID-19 pandemic, like scavengers and vultures,” it read.

According to the management, the five-year investment deal had the PE firm scheduled to exit the company in 2023.

But the PE firm has been accused of not keeping its end of the deal by withholding funds, resulting in the company’s slow growth. In return, George might have reneged on the company’s decision to give the firm a majority stake.

HealthPlus claims this led to the firm’s hostile takeover attempt.

The company initially tried to avoid this as George, who is an Endeavor Nigeria entrepreneur, took legal action against HealthPlus Africa Holdings Limited in May 2020. The holding company is allegedly an investment vehicle used by Alta Semper Capital to run HealthPlus Limited.

A necessary course of action or a deal gone bad?
According to the statement, the petition tabled at the federal high court [Suit No. FHC/L/CS/609/2020] was to stop the holding company from “the deliberate delay and withholding of funds; meddling with management, interference with the functions of key employees; abuse of corporate governance processes and now the attempt to remove her as CEO.”

Though the court ordered the holding company to desist from these activities pending the final determination of the case, HealthPlus claims it has not done so.

However, all demands by George and her management team to get Alta Semper to halt its coup seems to be falling on deaf ears.

Yesterday, the UK-based firm went ahead to publish the news of Chidi Okoro as Chief Transformation Officer on its website. Also, recent reports from The Cable claim Alta Semper has begun plans to take over the company’s bank accounts and offices in Nigeria.

No one saw this coming, and it remains developing news.

In 2018, when HealthPlus sealed the investment and partnership with Alta Semper, George was quoted as saying,

“We believe Alta Semper is the right partner for our next stage of growth. Alta Semper’s focus on the healthcare sector, as well as its ability to invest patient and flexible capital, will allow us to grow strategically across Nigeria. We believe we have found a partner who can help us achieve this goal over the coming years.”

Jetha, on the other hand, said Alta Semper was excited about the partnership and was looking forward to working closely with George and her team to further unlock HealthPlus’ growth potential.

Two years down the line, the tables have turned completely.

The details of the $18m investment remain vague at this time but if Alta Semper is indeed the company’s majority shareholder, one would think it is within the firm’s right to take this course of action. The ousting of Steve Jobs and Travis Kalanick as CEO of Apple and Uber, respectively, comes to mind.

But if that’s not the case, then this is a classic example of a deal gone bad.

No one goes to marriage to get divorced and no child was born with the intentions of being in a broken marriage

Go and get married and experience what it is
Sadly, not everyone marries for 'forever'.

Some do it to leave the spinster/bachelor group. Some to have 'legitimate kids.'

The kids and the partner 'deceived' of the other's intent are the victims.

pocohantas:
Yes, I have also observed the growing trend of such divorce cases. My guess is, some of these women want kids, companionship, but not marriage. However, they can’t say it with their full chest in a country like Nigeria and they know the long run effect of having these kids from various men. So they go into marriages and leave after having kids. It isn’t a coincidence that they always have kids first. Better a divorcee than babymama.

Anyway, it shouldn’t be much of a problem that women are leaving marriages. After all, men claim to gain nothing from marriage and are also not interested in marrying Nigerian women anymore.
So they have the companionship with different men after divorce?

Not surprised at the trend.
