If you know his family name and the town he comes from, you can find out who he is.

Be careful though. In places where the first son is the sole beneficiary or very important in the scheme of things, your appearance could provoke a battle. Remember that he has other children who probably don't know of your existence.

Lol I barely know my mum’s mother

She is based in Europe
All my life she has only visited Nigeria twice

Currently she is in Europe now

My mums dad is dead
Died last year
My uncle are scattered
The only one I can meet is very bitter
If u know what I mean

Aww! I empathize with you on that. How about your mum's close childhood friends? Hopefully, someone can persuade her to reason along with you.

Her cousins? Someone has to help you if she's not interested.

Express your feelings to your maternal grandparents or a close Uncle/Aunty. You can't judge your mum for her attitude but you need to solve your problem.

I know someone who got to know his dad through his grandfather. His dad was invited to his grandpas house without the knowledge of his mum initially. A close Aunt joined them to give his mum's perspective of their issue so he could explain to his son and seek his forgiveness. They're all happy about the reconciliation. Both families turned up at his wedding like a big happy family and he's now close to his dad.

The problem is that Atiku is not better.

Mod please I want this piece to be pushed to front-page this is happening to me though I have prepared my Mind to do what is in my mind but I want this honourable house to look into this

I was supposed to go and do marital introduction but because of my dad's health which was going bad everyday I couldn't. I thought maybe when we stabilise him a little then I can quickly arrange for introduction but sadly my beloved Dad passed away 4days later

I have been crying endlessly and been so weak and saddened just this morning this girl I was planning on spending the rest of my life with chatted me up saying that she has looking at me since that I don't want to say anything concerning her Christmas things that she needs 50k to buy Christmas things. I was shocked to the bone haaaa why are you this heartless towards me? Does it mean you are not concerned about what I have been passing through, infact I don't want to speak more because God already saved me from a heartless lazy woman.

To the women in this forum is it right to ask your fiancee Christmas Money in the midst of seeing him mourning of his late Dad just few days his dad died this attitude of this girl is it right?

You don't have a fiancee yet. You give due consideration to character before getting to that stage.

Condolences to you on your sad loss. RIP to your dad.

liver123:
I see people blaming dbanje , is it him that hack into npower account to divert the fund or government officials in charge of n power.

That's what I don't understand! How could he have paid himself without any level of authority in the Ministry?

Why are the civil servants involved unnamed?

Her maiden name is Ikusebiala which is a Yoruba name. Seems they're Aworis. Her mum may have been Itshekiri since she's Tee Macs cousin.

Do they have the power to do that?

I see public school students wearing hijab all the time. Is the rule being extended to private and Christian schools?

The Court will decide if a DNA is required based on facts and evidence before it.

Hijab is being worn by Muslims in Lagos public and Muslim schools already. It's a matter of choice.

Buddha3:
Oga quiet there!

Dey argue blindly for wetin you no even sabi.
This woman na Ben Ayade legit kpekus. And she dey do him bidding 100%. So if he needs her to service a more senior politician for his gains, she dey run am steady. Her husband is now voiceless cause she's obviously the breadwinner in the family. Nobody for Calabar wey no sabi Ayade/Betta Edu combo.

Hmmm! In an interview with Punch, she said Dr Linda Ayade brought her into politics. The first lady is her friend and professional colleague.

lexylaw40:
Obi and ATIKU are well known homosexuals.... It's no secret pls correct me if I'm wrong

You have proof of evidence?

Rally on a Monday in Lagos and they expected a large crowd.

Besides it's "ojo aje" in Yoruba culture....

Great memories watching Sesame St with my kids back then.

Thanks for the positive influence and wonderful and fun filled learning experience for the children.

Blessings to his family as his soul rests in perfect peace.

fuckJones:
Buhari whose party has majority in the National Assembly had sent a bill for Special Court for Corruption since 2016, dem no touch am but Peter Obi with whose party won't even win 15 seats out of the available 469 thinks he can pull a magic wand with laws and policies.

Miracles happen! Perhaps we need a NASS that has real diversity to change the narrative in our country.

I don't support any of the candidates as at today. Just thinking about drastic options that can move the nation forward. Corruption needs to be killed or seriously minimised for Nigeria to grow and for better welfare for our people.

blink:
I just like the christian on Nairaland to help me throw more light to this,
I once had my tithe with me when someone walked up to me for an assistance to discharge her family from hospital. After confirming that it's true, I just dropped my entire tithe to pay the bill and believe I had paid my tithe but somehow I was told that since I didn't drop it in the church am yet to pay my tithe.

Be guided by the Holy Spirit always. Learn to hear from God in the Spirit. It's the most important thing when taking decisions. Listening to people's personal opinions can derail you. Remember that it's God's purpose for your life that must be fulfilled.

IboHausaYoruba:
Whatever carted away in that house would be paid back definitely (up to the last needle), that is a country where insurance is top notched. Compare UK to Nigeria at your own peril.

The problem is ours. We refuse to take insurance seriously. Those who do it properly and faithfully get their claims.

Our people prefer to appeal for help.

Too many insecure and immature minds on this platform nowadays.......

Happy married life to Sam and Deborah.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

CHARACTER

Enhance your character, my friend,
Prosperity could depart from one’s home,
And beauty could retreat from people’s bodies.

Today’s rich could become poor tomorrow,
Opulence is like ocean’s surfs; it is like ocean’s waves,
They come and go from one’s home as they please;
But, only good character follows one to the grave.

Money is not everything to anyone,
Good character is the beauty of a mortal,
What if you are wealthy without good character?
Who would trust you with something serious?

Perhaps, you are a gorgeous woman,
If you are far from societal norms,
Who would marry you as a wife?

Or you are a fraudulent person,
May be you are well educated;
Who would transact business with you?

Enhance your character, my friend,
In the absence of character, education is a waste;

The whole world appreciates a well-mannered person.


_Poetry by the late Chief J.F. Odunjo, renowned Yoruba playwright, poet, politician, and statesman – from one of his popular Alawiye series._

This poem was recited in those days by primary school children in the old Western Region.

Not anymore.

And we wonder what has happened

@OP
Find out from National Automobile Design and Development Council headed by Jelani Aliyu a reputable designer.

Quality education is expensive. The government has to find a means of taking care of poor students as was done in the late 70s and early 80s.

Are your services limited to Ibadan? Someone needs elderly care for his parent in Osun State.

It used to be on the boarding house requirement list. At least for girls schools.

For decency really. If the skirt flies up, there's something under.

Berrityga:
fish brain.. You should be locked up in a Sardine tin. A greedy girl tried to scam her bf of his heart earn money and in a responds he beat her up hoping she will relinquish the money but in her greed she held on till she died. The guy should get minimal sentence.

Hard earned money? By scamming people?
The law of sowing and reaping happening maybe.

Perhaps the nominees were not qualified in the first instance.

Angelfrost:
You even have time replying that dimwit!

Charging him to court for what offence exactly?!! Lying?!! Criticizing??! What exactly?!!

We have now muddied the line between democracy and dictatorship under APC!

Defamation perhaps if he has no evidence to prove that she has "eaten" our money as implied.

Our first lady should have done that instead of the embarrassing and violent approach if the story is true.

Sammy07:
Yeah.
Apc 23
Pdp 3 (Ede North LGA – Hon Babajide Kofoworola, Ede South LGA – Hon. Niran Atidade, Obokun LGA – Hon. Adewumi Adeyemi,

Will there be fresh elections for the HOA I'm February next year?

OmoOdua3:
You guys should try to at least do some research before rushing to comment.

One of the said Monarchs mentioned is Mr Gboyega Famodun.
His Coronation was rushed within the last 1 week after it became totally clear that Oyetola wasn't coming back. They were hoping on another Supreme Court Governor, but that didn't materialize.

Who is he? Up till the time of his Coronation barely 6 days ago, he was the Osun State Chairman of APC. Are you still wondering about what was going on?

His Father (Adelani Famodun) was the Owa (King) of Igbajo before the last one (Retired Major Femi Fashade) died 2 years ago.
The throne is rotated among 5 Families. So, how could it be his/his Family's turn?
These Politicians want to turn everything to Emilokan. Not his turn (Oun ko lokan).

The same thing that happened in Igbajo was replicated in the 2 other Towns (Iree and Ikirun. These 3 Towns (as well as Ada and Iragbiji - Tinubu`s Home Town) are in the same Vicinity - barely 5 to 8 Kilometers separating each of them.

These Politicians are subverting not only our Traditional Institutions, but all other aspects of our lives. I really don't understand Nigeria's so-called Democracy. It is too destructive.

The quickly Installed Permanent Secretaries were clearly warned 5 days ago of the consequences of accepting the would-be Appointments.

And, how can you start employing thousands of unnecessary Workers after you lost your reelection? Insanity!

Kudos to Adeleke! Remove all the Boobytraps planted by Oyetola before commencing actual Governing Work.
Long live Osun State!

Most times, it is really tiring explaining things on Nairaland. It's like rushing to comment is more important than everything else.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

No need for arguments. It's not compulsory. No one can be jailed for not paying tithe. It's a matter of understanding, wisdom and choice.
