Dear parents, HABITS THAT SHOW IMPROPER UPBRINGING IN CHILDREN Please, carefully look into the list below to see where you may want to make amends on yourself or the young ones you are caring for. Children, if not properly groomed may never get to the top in life, even if the parents are at the top of their career. Manners take you to where your education can't irrespective of your status, money or the "who you know" factor. 1) Going to your child's school dressed indecently? Think again. 2) Speaking rashly to your child's teacher. 3) Cursing, using foul words or swearing in front of your children. 4) Using makeup on children. 5) Dressing indecently for children (they loose the sense of their princesshood). 6) Putting earrings on your son's ears. 7) Your child hold the cup or glassware by the brim and you don't correct. Your children don't greet and you just feel they will come around one day because they have a mood swing. ( You will be blamed for it)9) Your children eat with their mouth opened and you feel they will grow up some day. 10) Your children bring home something you did not buy for them and you say nothing. ( that is the beginning of stealing) 11) They talk back at you and you conclude it's okay since you are a 21st century mummy. ( You will hate yourself if they do that outside and they are disciplined ) 12) They interrupt when you are speaking with another adult and you think they are bold and clever. (Its really bad manners) 13) They exercise authority over their nanny and domestic staff and you let them be. ( that is bad parenting) 14) They say things like "my driver is on his way..." I am not an advocate that children should call your domestic staff aunty or brother, calling them by name when they are not young people is not poise either. The use of Miss, Mr or Mrs will look good on them. 15) Your children don't say- 'Thank you' when they have been helped or served something and you are cool with that. (Bad parenting) 16) When your children cannot stand children who are less privileged. 18) When they pick their nose with their hands. 19) When they don't wash their hands after visiting the washroom. 20) When your children take something from the fridge without taking permission. (Bad parenting) 21) When your children don't knock on closed doors. 22) When your children don't collect from your hands the stuff you brought in as you walk in through the door. 23) When your children request for a bribe to carry out their home chores or extra task. (That is disgraceful ) 24) When your children act like their grand parents irritate them. 25) When your children have not learnt to get up from the chair for the elderly or visitors to sit. 26) When your child tells a lot of lies. (You will both cry in the future) 27) When your child asks "who is that?" at a knock on your door instead of "please, who is there." 28) When your child is always seated by your visitors when being served drinks etc. 29) When your children still point their fingers at other people. 30) When your children play and jump around when prayers are going on.(age 4 above). Dont be a 21st Century parent who cannot correct a child. Train your child in the way of the Lord so that when he grows up he will not depart frm it. IT IS BETTER TO LET YOUR CHILDREN CRY AT AN EARLY AGE WHEN YOU CORRECT THEM, IF NOT YOU WILL BOTH CRY AT NIGHT WHEN THEY BRING DISGRACE TO THE FAMILY WITH BAD AND TERRIBLE BEHAVIOURS Pls circulate to all parents and grandparents that are on your contact list to assure us all a better future. God bless you. |
And who is Buhari blaming? You? makelove2m: |
Gift by who? With which money? justhelp:From stolen money? I thought all money is now stolen in Nigeria. |
How Afonja (Yorubas) lost the Ilorin throne - Vanguard Newspaper Date: 2000-10-22 THE rivalry between the Fulani and Afonja descendants over the throne of Ilorin is rooted in history. While the Fulani rest the case of their claim to the kingship of the ancient town on the fact that the monarch had from the time immemorial been produced by them, the Afonja descendants, who like majority of the people of the town are Yoruba, say since their ancestor founded Ilorin, their claim to the throne ought not to be disputed. History appears in support of the former's position although the progenitor of the Fulani indigenes of Ilorin, Alimi, was actually a tenant to Afonja. The death of Afonja and Alimi, however, saw the eldest son of the latter emerging as the first monarch of what was then known as Ilorin. Historical sources, tracing the story to the 19th Century, said Ilorin of today was founded by Afonja, the then Aare Ona Kakanfo (Generalisimo) to Alaafin of old Oyo (Oyo Ile), who used the town as his military outpost. It was this outpost that he carried out his war expeditions for the Alaafin. In the usual nomadic wandering, Alimi arrived Ilorin and was hosted by Afonja. Soon after Alimi took Ilorin as his place of abode, a rift broke out between Alaafin and Afonja. When the disagreement reached the climax and the two had to take up arms, Afonja, out of regard for Alimi's spiritual and military prowess, sought his support. Alimi helped in mobilising an army in support of Afonja leading to victory over Alaafin. The defeat led the then Alaafin migrating from old Oyo to the site now called Oyo. After the war, Alimi became a teacher to Afonja's children as the latter wanted his offsprings to learn the secret of power. When both died, Alimi's son, Abdulsalami, inherited his father's duty of teaching Afonja's children. When the idea of appointing somebody to head the village came, the eldest child of Afonja wanted to have the position but met opposition from Abdulsalami who had military support from his fellow Fulani kinsmen. Abdulsalami ultimately became the ruler of what is now called Ilorin around 1831. The issue now is that Afonja's descendants believe that their forefathers were cheated and want a redress. But the Alimi people are claiming that the Afonja people never ruled Ilorin and, as such, no precedent exists to back their position. Penultimate week's incident was not the first time the Afonja and the Yoruba would attempt to assert their right to Ilorin kingship. Historical sources said in 1895, the Yoruba rose against the then emir, burnt his palace and killed him. But the revolt did not result in enthronement of a Yoruba king. In 1913, when Lord Lugard administered the northern and southern Nigeria, Yoruba were said to have spearheaded a riot over tax to bring the rulership of the then emir to ridicule. In 1936, the Yoruba, according to sources, also moved to oust Emir Abdulkadir who was banished to Kaduna but got reinstated by the colonial administration. In 1978, the George Innih administration of Kwara State raised a judicial panel of inquiry to look into the Yoruba agitation. The Yoruba people reportedly made a case for the merging of Kwara State with the Southwest before the commission while also laying claim to the Ilorin throne. It was said they even claimed antecedent to the throne as they allegedly said Yoruba had produced four obas in Ilorin before the advent of the Fulani. But the Alimi people, in a counter position, claimed there was no known Yoruba king in the town before their forefather mounted the throne. The report of the panel never saw the light of day while there was also no white paper from government. A twist to the tussle was the recent petition by three of the six Yoruba chiefs (mogajis) in Ilorin to the State House of Assembly complaining that they had been classified as ungraded by government allegedly at the behest of the emir. Their non-grading, according to the chiefs, suited the emir, so that there would be no rivalry of any sort from the Yoruba to his authority. Ilorin Descendants Progressive Union (IDPU), formed to protect the interest Ilorin indigenes who are of Fulani extraction, once in its opposition to the upgrading of the chiefs, said dong so would bring them at par with Gambari. But the Afonja Descendants Union (ADU) which came on stream in 1978 to advance the cause of the Yoruba in the town and with Kasumu as its leader would hear none of that. The group is allegedly pressuring the legislature to grade the chiefs. Another angle to the agitation is the demand for Oya State that will comprise the Yoruba speaking areas of Kwara and Kogi States. The move, it was said, is to pull the rug from under the feet of the emir and end the Fulani rulership of Ilorin. The Yoruba people of Ilorin are not alone in the struggle. The pan-Yoruba meeting which took place in Ibadan last year demanded restructuring of Kwara State such that Ilorin would be grouped with the Southwest. Analysts interpreted this to mean that the parley did not believe that any emir had any business on Ilorin throne. Click to add/read Comments |
