Boss ke? As if he will keep quiet if Eazi treats his daughter like an employee. One thing I have observed about Nigerian marriages is that, men will treat you according to your status. There is no way in hell will Eazi boss over Temi knowing full well what awaits him. All that advice from Otedola is just a misyarn, and for social media validation.

It's the usual advice given by omoluabi parents. It's a way of making a bride understand the best way of keeping her home. Humility, respect and cooperation are important. That doesn't mean that they won't support her if the man misbehaves.

You don't need to bend your rules. There'll be no end to it. They have the option of going to a faith based school which will grant their wishes.

He didn't consider that his landlady and elderly neighbours could be depressed by his actions in Gbagada when he lived there. All the stories of his aggression and ruthlessness are online.

Bus Stop renaming is a minor issue. He can have another one named after him some day. The lives he ruined are irreparable.

Hopefully, this will be resolved when the term of the current LG officials expire.

A child's brain develops over time. Phones and similar electronic gadgets are believed to cause distractions for kids and they impact negatively on their development. More especially, they're so addictive and there's a limit to what the parents can control. Except if you're with the child 24/7.

We the owners of Land and building at Are- ATewogbola Street, Aboru Lagos Street write to report an illegal blocking of our street with a building which has made it very difficulty and also impossible for us to access of land and building.
We have reported this issue to the land owners from which we all bought the land , but the owner of the illegal building refuse to adhered to their instructions to remove the building or create an access road for for easy passages. He is insisting that is only the State Government of Local council that he will listen to.
The illegal building did not only blocked the street, it also blocked the drainage causing a lot of flood to owners of building behind him once rain fall.
We are seeking government intervention on this issue as we the owners of the affected lands do not want to take laws in our hand.

Thanks for your quick response

Mr Tunde ogbe

Send details to the Commissioner of Environment and the Physical Planning Department.

History being rewritten as usual!

I know those who bought houses in Surulere (Adeniran Ogunsanya, Shitta, Ogunlana, Masha axis) in the 60s including an Uncle of mine. The houses were built by LEDB and sold on mortgage.

OPICANTO2223:
It doesn't make sense. This man is having oral diarrhea. I wonder who gave him the knowledge to spew thrash. I believe Alaafi is the custodian of Yoruba culture, while Ooni is a highly political throne created to demystify great Oyo empire

The Alaafin was the political head by virtue of an empire but the Oyo of the old Oyo empire no longer exists. That empire fell and most parts of Yorubaland today never paid tributes to the Alaafin or they freed themselves after a while. E.g. the Egbas, Ijebus and Ekiti/Ondo axis.

Ife has always been the orisun (origin) and spiritual headquarters of the Yorubas. Ooni is known as arole Oduduwa (the representative of Oduduwa. Ife has remained in the same location unlike Oyo. Oranmiyan who became Alaafin was a descendant of Oduduwa who is regarded as the ancestor of Yorubas.

If only the Alaafin can maintain peace with the Ooni as Alaafin Adeyemi did, there'll be greater peace and more progress in Yorubaland.

IkeAnumudu:
Everyone is beginning to have had enough of this Alaafin.

To imagine that I really used to like him so much because of the way he carries himself and is scarce at parties, unlike His Majesty, the Ooni.

However, this troublesomeness and continued embarrassment of the Yorubas, by the Alaafin, is very much unbecoming.

Everyone is now realising that the Ooni might have his faults, with endless party attendance and shaking of hands like a schoolboy, yet he seems more peaceable and better for the progress of Yorubaland than an Alaafin who’s courting trouble everyday and embarrassing the Yoruba Race everyday.

Honestly, it's unexpected of him and so embarrassing. He should leave Ooni alone and focus on developing his town.

Gorem2013:
Ladoja is a fanatics and extremists and very greedy

I only hope Ibadan will do well under him

He's not a fanatic. Rather, he's known as a liberal person. Greedy? He's a wealthy man and he didn't show such signs as a governor.

Hienna1:
Do you also read that the ife kingdom also pays tithe to the Alaafin... There are other kindgom too like the Awujale of Ijebu, alake of ake, soun of ogbomoso and others too..

Just saying you know.. the one we read in history.. the Oyo controls all activities including slave trade, military control, etc..

Where's the empire today? Who still pays ishakole to Alaafin? Is Oyo today the actual site at the time of the empire?

The reality is that it's time to move on. Both kings are important. They should work together for the progress of Yorubas instead of this unnecessary bickering. The late Alaafin did not disrespect the Ooni in any way. They were cordial.

Lukuluku69:
Largely help by his Father being the Governor of Lagos.

He was his Dad's Bagman.

Though he managed it well but that also contributed to his Rise.

You obviously didn't read the story.

Making him an ambassador doesn't necessarily translate to paying him for the role. In cases like this, he'll render FREE services to the organisation by creating awareness of aviation rules.

It's actually a subtle form of punishment. Same was done with Naira Marley though people criticised NDLEA for that.

Hopefully, the aviation staff training will make a difference in the performance of cabin crew and airport security staff henceforth.

That's a huge one! It will surely have an impact on the economy. I pray it's done soonest.

We are yet to see Northerners living in Sharia compliant States living in peace and making meaningful progress. We see more of oppression of the poor, almajiris, poverty, terrorism, drug abuse, banditry and general nsecurity in those places.

What then is the attraction for Southerners who are better placed?

The devil is working overtime on Church matters.

God bless her.

This is done in some private universities. I learnt that Babcock Uni does some counselling and basic rehab for those who fail the test. Anything beyond that is for the parents to handle.

Best wishes to her.

Kemi Adeosun still impacts positively on Nigerians with her NGO. She could have chosen to ignore us with all the brouhaha that happened while she was here.

He should tell us how he improved the lives of the poor in his constituency as a Senator.

It's time to wise up. Hold your LG, State Govt and representatives responsible.

Oga Yakassai didn't complain when PMB spent a lot more on Northern projects including oil drilling which is yet to make any impact. He also chose to do Maradi rail line instead of focusing on the Ibadan - Abuja and SouthEastern lines.

She comes from a privileged background. I wonder why she keeps stressing on issues bordering on lack. The FGCs were schools were quite good in the past. Most elites sent their kids there because there were only few private schools.

She's free to be British, but running down her roots will not help her political ambitions. Rishi Sunak never did that.

Garba is just saying the same thing in a different way!

Charlie Boy Does not Deserve a Bus Stop in Lagos

My name is Mrs Ebunola Adebusoye. I'm the Deputy Women leader of Indigenous Lagos Teachers Association

I write this in my personal opinion. My group has not authorised me to do this on its behalf, but I have to do it after consultation with the Lagos General Secretary, at least to avoid organisational discipline. I'm happy I was given to go-ahead to write my own personal opinion.

I speak on the reigning issue of the renaming of Charly Boy Bus Stop in Lagos to Badoo Bus stop, an exercise executed by the Chairman, Bariga LCDA.

First of all, I thank the Chairman for living up to the expectations of the people of Gbagada where Charles Oputa, alias Charly Boy also referred to as Area Father lived and tormented the residents for many years. As a Lagos indigene and from the Royal home, we are proud of what the Chairman did.

At 65 and as a retired School teacher, I have a sense of what morality means.

Having a Bus Stop with the name Charly Boy is an attempt to glorify immorality of the highest order.

Firstly, Area Father never had a Bus Stop allocated to him at Gbagada. When he moved here many years ago, the first thing he did was to pull down the existing Bus Stop signpost which was second Pedro named after a prominent Lagos family that had put in sweat and blood to the growth, fame and rise of Lagos.

Charly Boy was never officially allocated any Bus Stop. That is the truth. Calling the place Charly Boy was his own creation.

Secondly, Charly boy lived in this area as as a little beast. He tormented the residents, turned the place into a jungle, a hub for hard drugs including cocaine and hooliganism. I lived close to him for about 5 years. Myself and my husband had to relocate to Ikorodu because of this nuisance.

He was an extremely bad influence on youths and the core values of Yoruba.

I recall his attack on a 70 year old Mr Akinyemi who challenged his rascality. He ordered his thugs to beat up the old man who he stripped naked.

I recall the children of this old man who came to challenge him were also beaten up.

These actions if taken in any civilised world would have been challenged by the relevant authority and Charly Boy would have been sent to jail.

He was contemptuous of Yoruba people who he derided and insulted so often.

He has no respect for the tradition and values of his host.

He owed his landlord 7 years rent which he never paid. The landlady, a Yorubaland woman died of hypertension

Charly Boy converted the rented apartment into a studio that his wife managed. He pulled down the fence and converted the building to his own shape.

He would insult and harrass the woman, playing music all day and all night. The woman died.

People who support Charly Bus stop should tell us what single contributions he made to Lagos or to the people of Gbagada. Monuments should be named after heroes not hooligans and common criminals.

We hereby caution and warn those who think they can continue to spit on Lagos heritage to beware of the wrath of our ancestors and at the fullness of time, we shall challenge them BY ALL MEANS NECESSARY.

Hmmm! Another angle.

BTW, if Anambra renamed streets bearing Ebonyi names and people didn't complain, why is there so much hullabaloo over the one done in Lagos?

Funny thing is that the names may change again some years down the line.

There's really nothing to probe otherwise, PMB would have done that.

Ozumba Mbadiwe, Nnamdi Azikiwe and many others haven't been changed. It's just one Local Govt. Council changing names for reasons that they explained...right or wrong.

PMB ruled for 8 years. He should have complained then.

After that, they'll take boat rides to UK where they'll have 5 star treatment.

Prayerfully, many of them will turn over new leaves and make positive use of their skills to prosper without crime.

It's a good idea. Going to jail without rehab only hardens people.

I'm looking forward to the day that people will be wise enough to understand that cultism isn't the best path to follow. All that I see is sorrows, tears and blood.

What does it profit a man to labor so hard through the years only to end up cutting his life short by fighting unnecessary battles? I wish them well. They're probably fulfilling purpose their own way.

He can't claim to be top scorer in an unfair competition. As a Medical student, he's bound to do better than SS3 students.

Anyway, It's up to the University to accept him.
