1. Personality:This is who you are. This is your identity as a person and without this, you are living someone else’s life. Your personality should never be traded for a relationship; else you will find yourself acting a script that will son expire!


2. Dreams:

It is no longer something strange for people to sacrifice dreams to keep someone. The value they so much place on that person takes first place and hence, they sacrifice their dreams just to keep someone. This is totally wrong as your dreams are the underlying factor for achieving your goals. Rather than sacrificing your dreams, it is better to let the person go. It is not easy to see someone you love go just like that.


3. Beliefs:

Belief could come in two ways spiritual belief and an ideology. Believing in something shouldn’t compromise your relationship. If your partner questions your beliefs or tries to make you give up your belief, it might be time to re-assess the relationship and evaluate their place in your life.


4. Happiness:

Your partner is designed by the sculptor to enhance happiness and joy in your life; it was never designed to go the opposite way. It doesn’t mean your partner will always be happy or joyful all the time, but if they keep hurting you intentionally, it might be time to just let them go.


5. Freedom:

To keep a healthy relationship, enough freedom must be allowed so that you both can explore life together and alone as well. If your partner becomes jealous whenever you are hanging out with friends or family; it is advised you talk to them and make them have a rethink; if they don’t, you should consider leaving.


6. Friends and family:

For a successful thriving relationship, it is important that friends and family be carried along and not abandoned. You can decide with your partner to pay a visit to your family in another town, buying gifts for them and building a mutual long lasting friendship. Don’t abandon friends and family who saw you through thick and thin for a partner. Chances are that if your relationship hits the rock, you will have no one else to turn to but the same family and friends who you abandoned.


7. Your Self-Respect:

It is expected that your partner respects you even as you respect yourself. Never let anyone disrespect you to the point that you disrespect yourself. Your partner should always treat you with decency and respect. Dump a relationship where you are always called ugly, unprintable names.


8. Your ability to make decisions:

Never let your partner control you to the point that you cannot take a decision on your own and think for yourself. It is not good to be completely dependent on someone in a relationship to the point that you cannot make decisions on your own.



9. Your peace:

No matter what happens, do not let anyone destroy your inner peace. Be with someone who lets you have your time and peace and does not create chaos in your life all the time.


10. Your Feelings:

Nobody wants to be with someone who has no regard for their feelings. Mutual understanding is the first thing that is supposed to be there for a relationship to work. Don’t be with someone who has no regard for how you feel or how their actions make you feel.

kjhova:
These whole thing about "white man" and "black man" seems somewhat ignorant considering that this is 2019.

The British, period, irrespective of skin colour, were the 1st nation to truly industrialize in the 19th century. The theory of neighborhood effect ensures that the next nations to industrialize will be the ones closest geographically/traditionally to the Brits. Hence, the French, Germans, Americans and most of Europe followed in sequence.

Consequent on the above, these nations were going to have an advantage over the rest of the world. The British beat Benin and every other small civilization they encountered along their colonization campaign mainly due to their technological and industrial superiority.

To add a caveat, the article misrepresented the weaponry of the Benin army. Benin had muskets and Danish guns in addition to the traditional weapons. The British superiority was in the numbers of guns compared to the Benin. Also the British had canons and maxim guns (the machine gun prototype) which the Benin had no answer to.

Today, the Benin artifacts have disappeared all over the world. I don't know how much of it can ever come back to Benin. Maybe, it will be easier to pursue the more popular ones kept in known museums all over the world. However, do we have the resources to ensure their safekeep in Benin when they are returned?

The history of the world is littered with injustice of man to man.

Since its inception in 1973, Deeper Life Bible church is a church that stands out from the rest. Thanks to their uniqueness, sobriety and dressing sense which has remained unchanged since its inception. If you want to see “Christian sisters” still on long skirts with modest dresses and blouses; you will certainly find them in their thousands in this church. Factboyz brings to you 10 things you should know about Deeper Life Bible Church.


1. Unyielding Members:

Deeper life members are always seen by other Christians of other denomination as too rigid and too unyielding to the societal pressures around them. With the belief that everyone should live soberly and righteously even as written in the Holy Scriptures (Titus 2 verses 11) they rarely yield to pressures to commit sin.


2. The Overseer Handles Its Bible Studies:

For more than 30 years, Deeper Life Bible Studies are handled by it’s general overseer and founder; Williams Folorunsho Kumuyi; and for more than 10 years is televised worldwide in Deeper Life churches every Monday beginning for 7pm.


3. Quiet, Reserved Members:

From personal experience and encounter with some members of this Evangelical church, I discovered that majority or perhaps, a good number of them have a quiet, reserved attitude. This might not be unconnected to the fact that “foolish talk and jesting” is highly discouraged in the church.


4. Modest Dressing:

This fact stands as the one of the major things that has made this church very popular. Men who attend Deeper Life are known to dress smartly with trousers and well tucked in shirts; while ladies are known to wear long, modest dresses and skirts while totally covering their heads. Williams Kumuyi, its founder puts so much emphasis on the concept of Christian Dressing.


5. Strict Holiness Doctrine:

Deeper Life Bible Church has its foundation in strong church doctrines that might not change anytime soon. For instance, the church believes that women are not to put on earrings quoting 1 Peter 3 verses 3 and 1 Timothy 2 verses 9. Same with its stance on trousers as they don’t allow women wear trousers citing historical reasons such as the fact that before trousers for women were made popular in the 1960s; it was not accepted as a female wear. Biblically they quote Deuteronomy 22 verses 5.


6. Christmas Spent In A Camp Ground:

Christmas Time is a time most Nigerians spend in their respective hometowns and villages; however, it is a bit different for Deeper Life members as End of Year camps are organized starting from around 24th of December and ending around 27th. Hence, in their various campgrounds all around the nation; thousands gather to hear the word of God preached to them.


7. Its Founder Was A Lecturer:

W.F KumuyiWillam Folorunsho Kumuyi, (b. 1941) was a lecturer who taught in the University of Lagos. He graduated with a first class honours in mathematics from the University of Ibadan in 1967. In 1973 while as a university professor, he began a bible study group with 15 students who had come to him for Bible training. This was how Deeper Life was birthed.


8. Record Breaking Crowds:

Deeper Life Crusades are known to draw hundreds of thousands of people and sometimes close to a million. William Kumyi’s visit and tours to states are greeted with much publicity and strategic planning that most times, the governors of the respected states visited for crusades attend. Kumuyi admitted in an interview that the success of his ministry and church depended on committed one on one personal evangelism.


9. One of The Largest Church Auditorium:

In April 2018, Deeper Life Bible church completed a building project it had begun for years which stands as one of the largest church auditorium in the world with a sitting capacity of about 30,000 and valued at about 5 billion naira which stands at 16 million dollars!


10. Television once banned for Members:

Every church has its own time of troubles and for Deeper Life it came this way; Pastor William Kumuyi once taught that Television shouldn’t be in a Christian home. He obviously said this because of his zealousness in keeping the holiness standard high among Deeper Life members. This teaching continued in Deeper Life for years and it generated wide controversies and arguments till the late 90s and early 2000s when Deeper Life started videotaping and televising their programs.

Author: Jayamma Abanobi
Editor;

BeninCity is a city located in the Southern part of Nigeria. Benin as an ancient kingdom thrived successfully for centuries beginning with the arrival of the Portuguese into West Africa in the 1400s. They primarily traded on Palm oil, rubber, and ivory. However, the Benin invasion and expedition of 1897, negatively affected the once thriving town turning it into a shadow of it’s own self.Men, women and children in their hundreds were brutally massacred by the British. The invasion negatively affected Benin culturally and economically.The invasion also saw the King of Benin referred to as the Oba; Oba Ovonramwen exiled to far away Calabar a coastal town east of Benin. The Invasion and Expedition also featured the massive looting of precious artifacts by the British and their eventual shipping to England.Factboyz has compiled a list to thrill you on 10 things you should know about the 1897 invasion of the ancient Benin Empire. Enjoy!



1. The First Invasion was a Failure:

Only two British survived to tell the story. Captain Alan Boisragon and District Commissioner Locke. In March 1896, following the refusal of “Itsekiri middle men to pay required tributes (to the Oba) with regards to trade commodities, the Oba of Benin ordered seizure of the supply of oil palm produce; hence bringing trade along the Benin river to a standstill.

This order by the Oba did not please the British merchants in the region.British Traders and agents however appealed to the Protectorate Consul General to open up Benin territories and send the Oba into exile who they saw as a threat. In October 1896, the Acting Consul General James Robert Phillips visited the Benin River District and had series of meetings with traders and agents.The traders and agents convinced him of a bright trading future on the Benin River if the territories were opened.

The next month, Phillips made a formal request to the British Government requesting for permission to invade Benin City and depose Oba Ovoramwen.Without waiting for a reply and an approval, Phillips sent a message to Oba Ovoramwen telling him he wanted to pay a “friendly visit". Unknown to Phillips, some Itsekiri chiefs warned the Oba of the visit. The Oba summoned his chiefs tabling the matter before them. Phillips on the other hand, assembled two trading agents, two Niger coast protectorate officers, a medical officer and 250 African soldiers who disguised as porters. Oba Ovoramwen wanted the British to be granted entry first, but his commander-in-chief was not convinced; Hence ordering Ologbosere (a senior commander and the King’s son-in-law) to lead a handful of men to attack Phillips and his “friendly troops” On the 4th of January, 1897, the British were confronted in a move they never expected in a forest in Ugbine village near Ughoton.

They persuaded Phillips not to continue his journey to Benin because of the ongoing Igue festival which traditionally does not permit visitors seeing the Oba. Phillips gave deaf ears to the warnings and in the scuffle he was killed alongside his troops. Only two British survived to tell the story. Captain Alan Boisragon and District Commissioner Locke.2. Children Were Not Spared:The Bombardment of Benin which began on the 9th of February came in much fury and fire as the British retaliated the attack on her citizens.
Men, women and innocent children were mercilessly killed under the commandership of Rear Admiral Harry Rawson.


3. Benin Weapons Were No Match:

The Benin forces fought back and primarily tried to repel the attack making use of machetes, spears and arrows; but they were no match compared to the use of sophisticated rifles and cannons used by the British.This sharp contrast in weaponry negatively affected the Benin warriors as many succumbed to the superior fire.


4. The British Soldiers Did Not Take Part In The Manual Fighting:

It is important and interesting to note that the British did not even take part in the fighting as the fighting was mostly done by African troops who came with them; it is not clear who those Africans were but the British soldiers who took part sat interestingly behind the cannons and machine guns; pointing and shooting.


5. Outrageous Commands:

The field commanders responsible to carry out the invasion were instructed to burn down allBenin kingdom’s towns and villages.This command came in it’s totality as instructions were also given to hang the Oba (The King)



6. Precious Ancient Landmarks Destroyed:

Houses, religious buildings and the Oba’s palace were deliberately set on fire destroying ancient buildings that have lasted and exceeded the test of time.
The city’s walls which were reputed to be the largest earthworks created in pre-mechanized era and reportedly four times longer than the Great Wall of China were also destroyed. Evidence still exist today of these structures.


7. Massive Unforgiving Looting:

As looked deeper into this invasion by the British, we discovered that after the massive slaughter of the people of Benin, the British launched into another level of human wickednessas they stole ancient artifacts numbering about 2500 including religious figurines, Benin visual history works, mnemonics and artworks which were mercilessly shipped off to England.



8. Oba Ovonramwen Exiled:

Oba Ovoramwen, his two wives, members of his immediate family with some palace slavesThe Oba of Benin Ovonramwen Nogbaisi who ruled Benin from 1888 to 1897 was exiled with his two wives to far away coastal town of Calabar which is currently the capital of Cross Rivers state. He attempted to escape exile by offering Consul General Ralph Moor 200 puncheons (barrels) of oil worth £1500 (£183000 today) and to disclose where his 500 ivory tusks were buried (£275,625,500 today) however Moor rejected the offer as the tusks had already been discovered.
Sadly he died in 1914 around the turn of the new year and was eventually buried in the royal grounds of the royal palace of Benin. His first son and legitimate heir to the throne Aguobasimwin, became Oba; he was eventually known as Oba Eweka.



9. The Looting Was Approved To Cover War Costs:

The looting which was officially approved by the British Government indicted one of its own Lord Salisbury, the British Foreign Secretary as Phillips while requesting for approval to invade Benin in the first attempt added this footnote in the letter;“I would add that I have reason to hope that sufficient ivory would be found in the King’s house to pay the expenses incurred in removing the King from his stool”



10. Royal Scramble and Auction:

The aftermath of the invasion damaged Benin culturally as their identity as a kingdom shattered.

The stolen artifacts were shipped to England and eventually ended up sold, auctioned and kept by individual; members of the British Military.Most of these Benin artifacts were sold to museums in Germany and the dispersal of Benin art to museums around the world began.
Conclusion

In 2017, students of Jesus College Cambridge protested against the school authorities due to the cockerel statue located in the school hallwhich was looted during the 1897 Benin Expedition. The Student’s Union passed a motion declaring that the sculpture should be returned to its rightful owner. The school succumbed and removed the sculpture admitting it’s willingness to discuss it’s repatriation.

Nollywood director Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen fulfilled a lifetime ambition by producing a film about the invasion of Benin termed “Invasion 1897”


Finally, since the 1970s the Federal Government of Nigeria has been pleading with British Authorities to return the stolen artifacts, but so far, the British Government has refused.


Hopefully, the future generation of British leaders can see the need to return these precious works to their rightful place and though it seems impossible to recover all, attempt should not be neglected.

Factboyz joins millions round the world to plead with the British Government to do the rightful thing.

Top 10 Nigerians That May Be More Powerful Than Buhari


President Buhari, is undoubtedly the most powerful man in Nigeria. However, it doesn’t remove the fact that there are others who are also powerful and highly influencial in the Nigerian dispensation. Below is a list by listing 10 other powerful Nigerians that may be more powerful than Buhari. Enjoy!


1. Alhaji Aliko Dangote:Aliko Dangote is known to be the richest man in Africa with a net worth of about 10 billion dollars. With little interest in Nigerian politics, it is quite surprising that Nigerian politicians take him in high regard; thanks to his contributions in various sectors of the Nigerian economy. With the amount of money attributed to him, it is no longer news that Dangote’s influence can be felt much more than the President Muhammadu Buhari.


2. Abba Kyari: A retired brigadier general by profession, Abba Kyari is no stranger to the realms of power in Nigeria; having been in “high places” since the Yakubu Gowon era. Many speculate that he uses his power as the chief of staff to the president to influence the president; this gained momentum when Aisha Buhari, the first lady cried out alleging that her husband’s presidency has been hijacked. Abba Kyari is one of the suspected hijackers.


3. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo:Nigeria’s former visionary president Olusegun Obasanjo has always been a powerful man. Right from his days as the Military head of state in the 1970s, OBJ as he is fondly called is a man whose influence as refused to wane even as a very old man. He is known to be a major influence in General elections in Nigeria, with his choice always winning; though he was a bit unfortunate that his recent choice Alhaji Atiku Abubakar couldn’t pull through as President Buhari won him in the just concluded 2019 General elections.


4. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala:A lady of relevant substance, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala’s power and influence extends beyond the shores of Nigeria as she doesn’t wield much power in Nigeria though having served as Financial Minister during Goodluck Jonathan’s era. Trained as an Economist, she sits on the boards of Standard Chartered Bank, Twitter, Global Alliance For Vaccines and Immunization and the African Risk Capacity. With regards to global impact and relevance, she is more recognized than the President.


5. Alhaji Ahmed Bola Tinubu:The foremost Yoruba elder since the demise of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, was a former Governor of Lagos whose power and influence is highly felt throughout Yoruba land. This man alone determines who is Governor in any South Western state. Just recently, his relationship with the incumbent Governor of Lagos Akinwunmi Ambode whom he installed hit the rocks and he made his decision by ensuring Ambode does not win his second term as he switched support to another who went ahead to win the elections. In decisions concerning Lagos and South western Nigeria, his influence obviously exceeds President Buhari’s own.


6. Alhaji Mamman Daura:Mamman Daura is the nephew of President Buhari. Although he holds no political position, he is an important decision maker as to who emerges minister of the various governmental agencies with special preference to those of northern extraction. He is highly perceived to be the head of the cabal Aisha Buhari once lamented about.


7. Goodluck Jonathan:The quiet reserved former Nigerian President is a Nigerian whose influence and power as refused to wane. Thanks to his outstanding leadership as president which saw Nigeria become one of the fastest growing economy after China and Qatar back in 2014. His government however was marred by deep corruption in almost all the sectors.


8. HRH Sa’ad Abubakar:He is the current Sultan of Sokoto. As Sultan, he is the spiritual leader of more than 70 million Muslims in Nigeria. With his position as Sultan, he commands more respect from all the emirs in Nigeria including the presidency.


9. Pastor Enoch Adeboye:An average Nigerian Christian would prefer to obey this man than even the president! Not surprising though due to the religious nature of Nigerians. Enoch Adeboye is the pastor to one of the largest churches in Nigeria and has once been named as one of the most powerful people by an International media outlet.


10. Amina Jane Mohammed:An outstanding woman of class and character, she serves as the former Minister of Environment under President Buhari before appointed as the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations. From 2012, she was key player in the Post-2015 Development Agenda process, serving as the Special Adviser to former UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon on Post 2015 development planning.

Top 10 Important Nigerians Who Are Not Recognized

[b][/b]


Factboyz has looked into extraordinary Nigerians who have saved lives, but have not yet been duly recognized by the Nigerian government. Most times, celebrities, top business men, politicians and top clergy receive accolades and praise but what place is given to the average Nigerian? Below is a list by listing out silent Nigerians who shouldn’t be forgotten.


1. Dr. Ameyo Adedevoh:
https://i2.wp.com//wp-content/uploads/2019/05/images-20.jpeg?fit=350%2C421&ssl=1
A medical doctor by profession, she is known to stop the wider spread of the deadly Ebola virus by placing her patient Patrick Sawyer in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government to release him. She resisted the pressure saying, “for the greater public good” hence refusing to release the Ebola patient. She helped prevent the virus from spreading all across Nigeria. Unfortunately, on August the 4th 2014, she tested positive to the virus and treatment started immediately. However she died on 19th August 2014. Her legacy lives on.



2. Joseph Blankson:


In 2018, a boat had an accident and capsized in Rivers state Nigeria. Without thinking twice, a young man jumped into the water to rescue those who had fallen overboard. That man was Blankson! Singlehandedly, he pulled out 13 people out of the river. The father of two eventually got tired and while saving the 14th person, and he drowned. He was the only casualty. He will never be forgotten.



3. Rashidi Yekini:



The legendary Nigerian footballer is known to be the first Nigerian ever to score in a world cup match. He pioneered this, back in 1994 when Nigeria first qualified for World cup. His professional career as a footballer spanned two decades; playing in various local and International leagues. He died in 2012, with reports of depression, bipolar disorder and psychiatric condition. However, the Nigerian government is yet to immortalize his legacy as a pioneer achiever in Nigerian football.



4. George Yemi Iwilade:
https://i1.wp.com//wp-content/uploads/2019/05/images-19.jpeg?w=380&ssl=1
Having the guts to challenge evil, sometimes comes with a high price. George Iwilade popularly known by students as “Afrika” was the Student’s Union Government Secretary General who on March 7th 1999 led some members of the Student’s Union (SUG) to a hostel quarters in school after learning that secret cult members were gathered there. They found nine students of which eight of them were students of the school, (Obafemi Awolowo University) a submachine gun, a locally manufactured gun, a bayonet, black clothing and regalia of the cult. The cultists were handed over to the police and proceedings began against them but in a surprise twist, they were granted bail two weeks later. On the early hours of the morning of 10th July 1999, a large number of cultists numbering 22 and 40 stormed the university hostels with the sole aim of assassinating several prominent members of the student union. Upon entering George’s room, they shouted his name “Afrika” and shot him immediately in the head and smashed his head with their axe to make sure he was dead. He was the only victim of the SUG which the cultists initially targeted. Others who also died were Eviano Ekelemu, Yemi Ajiteru, Babtunde Oke, and Ekpede Godfery. The SUG President luckily jumped through the window when he heard gunshots and escaped unharmed. For standing for truth and trying to eradicate cultism, George Iwilade lost his life but his legacy lives on.



5. Ken Saro Wiwa:


Ken Saro Wiwa hailed from Ogoniland in the Niger Delta where crude oil was in abundance. Due to the high demand for crude oil and crude oil extraction, Ogoniland suffered extreme environmental degradation which Ken Saro Wiwa spoke about and led series of non-violent protests against the Nigerian Government pleading with them to clean up their land, which suffered with crops not growing any longer. On 21st May 1994, four Ogoni chiefs were brutally murdered. Saro-Wiwa had been denied entry into Ogoniland on the day of the murders, but he was arrested and accused of incitement to them. He denied the charges but was imprisoned for up to a year before being found guilty and sentenced to death by a specially convened military tribunal approved by the military dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. His execution provoked International outrage and resulted in Nigeria’s suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations for over three years. Sad!
