[quote author=Reflect7 post=122809160][/quote]Dude, while we claim to be very intelligent people, percentage-wise, 9ja probably has one of the highest unenlightened people who have WAEC/HND/degree.
Magic centres, bribery through school and corruption have ruined our education. Nothing upstairs.

A lot of our young women spend time broke-shaming up and coming men. Women who were brought up in face-me-I-slap you or their mother is still even using her petty trade to sustain their father and entire family.

In fact those from poor homes that poverty has shown shege that fear poverty the most. They lash out at anyone who doesn't appear to have money to be their "Poverty Alleviation Programme".

Some will tell you that Egyptians were not true blacks. Yet scholars, chief priest (like pope of those days), engineers, architects and physicians depicted in temples, statues and tombs were clearly black.
Career › Re: I Am Approaching 40 And Am Scared My Dreams Are Not Realistic by Dancebreaker: 6:05pm On Apr 28, 2023
greatopec:
Good day Nairalanders
I will be 40 on Oct 19 this year and I am scared the kind of life I have always desired may not be
achievable. Let me list these things that worries me so that you can probably advise me or assist me in achieving any of them.
1) By 40 I had wished I will be living in my house with cars in my garage
Current situation- I am a salary earner who eagerly waits for the salary to drop before my family can eat conveniently every month.
2)I love cars and driving. Was thinking of getting a good car for Uber business.
Current situation- I have not been able to gather enough money to buy a car for Uber or personal use.
3)Seeking greener pasture abroad.
Current situation- I have not been able to have enough disposable income to even get a passport to start with in the first place.
4)Self development. I had interest in programming so I decided to learn coding and all that. I started with free code camp and also this thread by iyenimofe on nairaland has been so helpful https://www.nairaland.com/1383359/learn-web-design-live-nairaland/6#17571611
The issue I have progressing is that of enough data subscription to watch more tutorials.
5)Acquisition of at least Masters.
I have a passion for learning and self development but I struggled to have my HND with distinction. Gathering enough funds to start my masters program has been an uphill task.

Little about my background
I am an HND graduate
I have a sister who am responsible for also.
I have a wife and two kids.
I work 8-5weekdays
OP, you are still very much on track. Things don't always fall in place in every aspect. At least you are not spending millions on cycles of IVF or healthcare. Some people out there are. So gratefulness first of all.

Pray for good health, don't womanise, gamble or drink excessively. Plan your family well and ensure you and your Mrs agree on your vision. If material achievement is all that is left, you can keep working towards that. Nothing spoil.

The story no add up jare,how Old was she when she left Nigeria considering her current age, please you "foreigners" should stop painting we Nigerians bad.
It is not unusual to see people who are 62 to 65 who look like her. Some look even younger. Remove the make up and wig and see. I have people in America who left 9ja in late 70s and early 80s, completed their degrees, had a family but never came for 30 years. A few still have not come until now. Especially those whose parent had died in their absence. They are many in USA.
What you have not seen may seem strange to you. People are different. Some loose their connection to 9ja and enjoy their new environment. Some by choice, others by circumstances. We must accept that.

I never used to miss any year without visiting. Now that parents are gone, siblings grown and married or have japa, the urge is not what it once was.

Something is not connecting.
You were sending money. Okay.
You were receiving prograce report. Ok.
BUT YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR SIMPLE WATSSAP IMAGES AND VIDEOS.

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE IN A WORLD OF TODAY.

just tell me something else please.
Trust. Obinna must have been a sweet little baby brother when she left over 40 years ago. May be even born after she left. She might be the Ada of the family.

She left when family still meant trust. Probably during Shagari regime. Her elderly parents always confirmed all was in order she said. Until you are that situation, you won't know. It is far more common than you think. In fact of those I know who left 9ja before until about 15 years ago, virtually everyone suffered various degrees and versions of this lady's story. Sadly, nothing special about her story. I know dozens in real life. Even within my extended family, some did worse than this.

This case is only pathetic for one reason in my view. Forget the phonair and wig, this an elderly woman, tired and exhausted after decades of labour in US. If she was a teacher or nurse, policewoman or immigration officer in 9ja, she would have already retired years ago. This big mansion would have been her tangible reward for decades of work.
But at least she has a waterlogged piece of land. cheesy grin grin

We nor see even 25 x 25 piece of pond and so were dozens too. At least knowing within first 10 years allows you to adjust while still young enough.

I currently have a video of a guy who went to Sweden 5 years ago. He was working in a mall in Sweden. His elder brother sent him nice pictures of the edifice he was building for him in 9ja. He returned suddenly and his elder brother was hiding. He finally traced him with one guy live. The Sweden guy tear his brother dirty slap. The video is trending now.

That what we faced over 20 years ago is still happening is worrying. Most people never share their story. Even when you share it some believe theirs will be different. Blood is thicker than water. People I warned still fell victim.

That is what i mean about Egyptian not a pure black african civilization, because you can as well see atatue of white look pharaoh Egyptian

All what you wrote up there wasnt necessary

Stop downgrading benin or any african civilzation by on how far the western influence penetrated society


See as the both of you up there rushing to fight over who first accepted western Christianity between edo and itsekiri
Damn
Did the whole of Africa not eventually adopt Christianity and Islam? Benin used it to its advantage including securing vital modern weapon with it to beat the enemy. And then indigenise it and set the terms of how to worship in it, not from Rome or anywhere else.
Today Muslim kings across 9ja are religiously under the Sultan. Oba of Benin has own Church, not under Rome, not under Canterbury. So your trying to be woke as if you are so proud of African religion while others are not is childish. It shows a poor understanding of political and war strategy of the kings of Benin in the South Eastern part of West Africa/Bight of Benin from the second half of the 15th century.

Every argument you come up with just shows how little you understand it. Come off your high horse attempt and wokeness.
Obas were way smarter, they thought ahead before others even back then.

Youre just talking of how europe influenced themselves, if europe influenced themselves what pride would a black man get from that

If africans influenced themselves the pride would be for Africans only the black skin ....


You speak of egypt that is not purely a black man civilzation ,

Is either you're a teenager or you dont know how the world works and youre obviously mentally enslaved


Stop priding with a whiteman thing youre just downgrading yourself and your people

The benin comes from the fact they never saw the whitemen above them , they fought them traded with them as equal , never accepted their religion

But here you're trying to downgrade them, with your pride for who got more influence the most

I would assume youre a teenager, if youre not sorry
I actually consider that an honour to be seen as a teenager. But I wish our teenagers knew Graeco-Roman and Egyptian history, To understand your African history (especially as much was not written down) you need to understand how others operated contemporarily because a king as an Ogiso or whatever they actually called themselves in Benin in 313 AD faced many similar challenges as Constantine in Rome. You have clearly never done comparative history.

Your rather shallow understanding is that Africa had nothing in common with other races back then. Simply because you seem not to know.

You said Egypt was not purely black. What is pure black? Charcoal black like many Sudanese Nubians? Those fair skinned people from Igboland and Edo, fairer than many ancient Egyptians, are impure blacks? shocked shocked

The more you argue, the more you reveal a warped notion of being black that is very narrow and ultimately a disservice to Afrocentrism.

Black Pharaohs and their families are clearly represented in statues. If you haven't been there, go and visit and learn. Whatever the hue of their skin, they were Africans and black. Arabs from Saudi or some place now living in African lands will not tell me otherwise.

I dont know what you both are trying to pride on

But the pride of benin came from that western influence couldn't infiltrate our culture not until nigeria started demonzing our religion


Our forefathers stood against western influence, they didnt welcome their writing of text we got ours artworks for documentation, we used them for our wars, we traded as equal men , Christianity
Couldnt penetrate us until after independence


So if you guys are priding on mediocrity then i am sorry you both are just not well read

If europe had influenced benin you think even the white men would cherish our culture today

So why are you both priding on who the whitemen influenced with Christianity the most
That is what you don't get. Every great empire did not live in a vacuum but adapted. Religiously, technologically, socially, etc. The Greeks took good things like knowledge, art, medicine from Egypt, the Romans took from the Greeks and Rome spread education and culture to Western Europe as we now know it worldwide. So your talk of pride in Western influence is due to poor knowledge because the trinity story and creation story began in Egypt. That is where Moses (educated by the best scholars in Pharoah's palace) learnt everything he later wrote. Trinity story built on that by Christians later.
So don't use your shallow knowledge to judge other's underlying thoughts.

Constantine adopted Jewish religion. Jews were not white as they came to be mixing with Europeans after 70AD.
May be you are the one obsessed with white people.

Whatever outside influence came, use of musket guns to overpower enemies, or whatever, Benin knew how to retain own history and culture. Like any truly great nation.

Health › Re: Please Help, My Son Has Dandruff For Over 8years Now by Dancebreaker: 2:14pm On Apr 19, 2023
7david7:
Good morning my people, I am writing you people at this delicate hour of 12:39am because my son's condition, it's getting worse by the day.

Dandruff wants to kill this beautiful boy, I know it's weird because we all know, myself included that dandruff doesn't kill, but watching myself lose a part of my son everyday.

He's been suffering from this condition for over 6yrs now, we've gone to the hospital and after buying and using all the prescribed drugs (Nizoral shampoo, selsun blue, head and shoulders, tea tree oil, miconazole cream, ketoconazole cream, terbinafine cream, fluconazole tablet, terbinafine tablet: almost killed my son, griseofulvin etc) nothing has changed, instead it's getting worse by day.

From complaining of headaches, to weakness (my son that was filled with energy and plays all the time now barely moves, he is always one place complaining of tiredness and pain), to joint pains, to confusion.

According to him, this dandruff has ate up his scalp so much that he can now taste his bathing soap on his tongue the moment he washes his head. We are now scared of washing and applying anything on his head because he will complain of tasting whatever we put on his head in his mouth and he will start having reactions. It's almost as if the skin on his scalp no longer protects him from outside soaps and other ingredients.

The moment he washes his head, his lips and tongue will swell up and he will start having reactions. My once active and lovely boy is now a shadow of himself. He's refusing to play, always complaining of tiredness and pains.

Pls help me my people, I don't know what to do anymore. I've tried every hospital and everything, I've done all I know, and now I'm watching my son deteriorate gradually before my very eyes without having a clue what to do, pls I beg you, help him, help me.
Sorry to hear madam.

But ensure you see a consultant dermatologist. At a teaching hospital/FMC. Not just a doctor in any hospital.
Your boy obviously has issues with allergy. Tongue and lip swelling may be adverse reaction and can become quite severe as anaphylaxis at other times as to block airway. Risky.

Have they checked him fully with blood test/his immune system/allergy test to know what to avoid in food/cream/medication/jewellery, etc?

My wife cheated when we were in courtship. She slept with an elderly man about twenty times. She later confessed but blamed me for not giving her sex whenever she needed it. This is someone we both agreed on no sex before marriage.

Now we are married and I am sure she will cheat again whenever she has the opportunity to do so. But I won't leave her because I'm not sure the next woman would be better than her. Infidelity is a pandemic among nigerian women. It didn't start today. It started during the time of our grandmothers.
Ok, just do DNA test on your kids. Unless you are happy to potentially run an orphanage as a family. keep checking your Hiv status too.

Christistruth03:
How many Oba of Benin were Christians

There have been at least 5 some even say 8 Olu of Warri that were Catholics

Including Olu Sebastian, Olu Domingo 1 and Olu Domingo 2 and it was genuine

Christianity not just for show

Just read the letter of Olu Domingo pleading for Missionaries to be sent to him so his People could be converted to Christ

It was a very genuine appeal

Oba of Benin was more interested in Purchasing Firearms from the Portuguese and the Portuguese

had Laws that prevented them from selling firearms to none Christians

If you read Olu Domingo’s letter he mentions the Episode that the Missionaries the king of Portugal

Sent him went to Benin instead of Warri and were Politely sent back by the Oba of Benin

Olu Domingo mentioned that by the time he heard about it they had already left Benin and returned to Portugal

Then he went on to mention that the Kingdom of Warri was often confused with the kingdom of Benin

Which was a very true Statement, because even the Yorubas saw the Warri Kingdom as an a outpost of Benin
even though the Itsekiri were Yoruba Speaking

though the Kingdom of Warri was an independent kingdom in its own right
What led to the inter-regnum in the Oluship from 1856-1936? That will help towards shedding more light on the independence that you mentioned. Why did Oba Akenzua and grandfather of this current Olu place a curse on Itsekhiri people that this current Olu said he was reversing during his coronation? Why was that same Olu (granddad of current one) given 14 coronation beads by Oba Akenzua to crown the next 14 Olus of Warri, something current Olu used to partly claim validity when the old crown was stolen? Watch his coronation speech.

Dude, today we all do our own things independently but let's not twist history. It is well-known.

As for Christianity, you judge that Benin's own was for show. Many people became Christian in Iberia due to Spanish Inquisition. By force. Christianity became established in the West due to politics. Emperor Constantine wanted to use the religion of very obedient people (innocent people ready to die for their faith without much resistance, just the type of citizens ready to die him that he desired) to control Roman Empire.

The same people appealing to Domingo were the same that brought big time slave trade, so how genuine were even the Portuguese as Christians, never mind those they were converting?
Like Constantine, European kings at the time used Christianity for politics. Obas of Benin probably saw through that. They were in Portugal before anyone else.

Some argue that Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 stopped killing and persecution of Christians, returned their seized assets to say how genuine his faith was. No experts/scholars believes that.

Breaking news: Constantine unbanned all religious sects, cults and groups. Not just Christianity. It was a much wider political move.

Oh by the way, as far as we can tell, Oba of Benin is the only King in West Africa who is also head of a native Christian Church, the Holy Aruosa Cathedral in Benin. Like King Charles II is the head of the Anglican church. Benin's long history means it has found ways to indigenise Christianity. Long before Aladura, Cele and others came along.

An indigenous church that has existed for centuries, long after guns for battles matter have gone, stand as a testament like a rock.
You know black man trying to be holier than the pope, like you have indicated in your post will also find another excuse.

The Crown with the Cross on it was a gift from the King of Portugal to Olu Domingo in the 17th Century
Olu Sebastian was the first known Nigerian Graduate.He Graduated from university in Portugal in the 17th Century he was also the Acting Ambassador for Benin and Warri Kingdoms to Portugal at the same time

The Itsekiri have had at least 5 Catholic Kings including Olu Domingo (Atunwase1) who was half Portuguese and his Son (Domingo 2)

If not for the Slave Trade the Itsekiri were supposed to be at the forefront of Christianity in Nigeria

Olu Sebastian's Son, Olu of Warri Domingo 1 was Sincere in his Christian faith and appealed to the King of Portugal to send him Missionaries that were not distracted by the filthy Business of the Slave Trade but were Truly out for Purely Soul winning alone
But the Missionaries sent from Portugal missed the road and ended up in Benin Instead of Warri, and the Oba of Benin politely sent them back
Benin had the oldest church in Nigeria as a whole and a street named at the Pope (Via Papa) now called Akpakpava Street in Benin. When did Prince Ginuwa leave Benin to become Ogiame of Ewere/Iwerre/Warri?

When did Europeans first reach Benin? Oba Esigie was baptised by 1504 just upon becoming king. He was a Christian nominally before that already. Esigie son (Orhogbua) was at Portuguese Royal military Academy in Lisbon, educated and was a Christian. He learned naval sailing from the Portuguese.

Domingo was in Lisbon by 1600. Orhogbua was in Portugal almost 100 years earlier.

By 1480s, King John II of Portugal already established strong links with Oba Ozolua of Benin. Oba Ewuare had already welcomed the Portuguese even before that.

Why do you think Oba Esigie had muskets (guns) from Portugal to fight Idah people in 1515-1516 War? Only Christian Kings/foreign rulers were given the new deadly weapon to use in war.

Oba sent them back politely in which year? Please be careful what you write in a public forum.

This is not really a good sign that the peace entreaty worked and I am genuinely concerned.
The Itsekiri are in the midst of unfriendly neighbours and their greatest strength should be their unity.

You can not have another Ologbotsere when one is still alive. I pray the issue is well handled for the peace and prosperity of Itsekiri land.
check my signature for free stuffs!
In particular, with hereditary titles, any king must find a way to deal with it in a savvy way. You don't undo the hereditary title bestowed by a previous king. But you can change his function in the palace. Or even appoint another non-hereditary title holder from same family to carry out the functions if a blood relative descending from that family must perform certain functions.
Stripping a chief of a hereditary title or swapping it questions the judgement of the previous king, his chiefs and family who selected the candidate. Not a good precedent.

That Ologbose/Ologboshere title emerged in Benin to checkmate the very powerful traditional prime minister the Iyase. Iyase was only created to checkmate others centuries earlier. Basically a cat watching activities of Iyase.

In Warri, Iyase and Ologbose/Ologbotsere seem to be cat and mouse. Some things never change, wherever you take it.

Olu could have created another title for a member of Ologbotsere family. Olu has that totally uncontroversial prerogative. That would allow Ayiri keep his title but become virtually irrelevant, yet kept in the fold. That would be good politics.

Benin history has it in abundance for centuries. When the most senior chiefs (7 kingmakers/Uzama) began to feel too big, Oba Ewedo created an all powerful but non-hereditary Iyase (meaning by this new title created, I surpass you all). This was in 1255 AD.

Later when Oba feared that Uzama chiefs could hijack coronation or even refuse their role at coronation one day, he created a set of 7 junior Uzama chiefs. Should the senior ones refuse to do their job or want to play games, the junior ones will do it. Centuries ago too. Problem solved. Till today.

In most places this not the tradition.

The bride's family hosts the future in-laws. Bride's family pays. I would never have allowed future in-laws to pay for what we gave them to entertain them for my sisters' weddings. Many sisters by the way. All married now. Their men are not "broke" as some ladies like to shame hardworking young men trying to make a living. They didn't rush into marriage, so their men were ready.

The groom has traditional stuff he must take care of. What they should bring alongside bride price are clear to them. Not the food, drink or entertainment for in-laws in bride's family home.

If the bride's family are only managing, of course the groom can assist generously.

Being your next of kin doesn't mean you believe that person should inherit all your assets. That person may just be the better organised, dynamic or reliable person you have. It should be more about executor of the will. Count brother or sister out.

There was a case last year. A man made his first son and first daughter his next of kin. However, the son is a kinda suwegbe person so the daugter and mother found a way to push him aside. The wife somehow became next of kin. You know 9ja and manipulation.

After monies were paid to the woman, she refused to share it with her children claiming to be the rightful NOK. It's like her hubby knew why he didn't include her as NOK. The daughter who connived to push her brother aside is now regretting it.

It is only selfishness and self centredness that would make anybody not from Edo Central to want to contest, it is even worse of the person is from Edo South.

Dude, politics doesn't work that way.
Sure, Edo Central deserves a turn now.

Alli and Osunbor (even in his short spell) did well. Alli was exceptional even considering that UPN was not at FG level.

But Edo Central fortunes have been too linked to PDP. Plus PDP has factions now, with Edo Central bigwigs not really in Obaseki camp. However, Edo Central has enjoyed FG the most since 1999. Uromi folks in particular. So PDP has been beneficial overall.

Edo Central must now spread out across more parties, especially LP. It is already happening anyway.

No one deserves to die like that. It doesn't matter what she went there to do.

I don't believe the hotel's alibi. It could be a ruse to pretend they did the right thing. In addition to an autopsy,
1. They should check the CCTV footage
2. They should check the information put down for the lodging
3. They should check the last numbers that called her phone and she called
4. Check her account statement

Can't imagine what the family of the victim will be passing through
You can almost be sure the hotel will be found wanting in one or more areas. Just be generous to those largely poorly paid reception staff, many won't even check details provided by clients properly. CCTV may be there but not working, name and phone numbers may be fake, they may not even have called the lady when the man was leaving next morning as they claim, etc.

At times if a client arrives late at night and promises to leave very early, staff will not record the client and will embezzle the money. I have had to be dragging receipt from reception when I have checked in late at times. Hotel owners are usually well-connected, he can hush up the whole saga with money. Nor be 9ja again? Na God dey save person o.

RIP to the lady.
