CelebritiesRe: Wizkid To Seun Kuti: 'Hungry Bastard & A Fool At 40! I Big Pass Your Papa' by gerizzim: 8:11pm On Jan 20
Love800:
Yea WizKid is bigger than fela in terms of being successful(albums, hits, international collabo, sales), but fela is bigger in musical themes, message and poetry.

Many things to take and judge dem. I have not even talked about fela's activism, and wizkid's ground-breaking attendance in international performance(example, the Tottenham stadium stage performance record breaking).
these your parameters won't give a good comparative analysis. . you compare and contrast two items/persons if they both did same activity.

There is no inch of rational reasoning dt we can put side by side felas music with these crop of present day artist.

In album------give it to fela ( you mean in quantity/Quality)

wizkids song and present day artist song duration is like 3 to 5mins song. Do you know dt if we are to cut felas one song into today's present 2/3mins duration, we will have an album cut out just Frm one felas song.

In hit-----------give it to fela (mention one wizkid track dt is a global hit. Aside from holla at your boy dt is probably wizkid most popular song)

Artist upon artist have remix best of felas hit tracks. even wizkid himself took some lines off Frm felas song.

Felas died many years ago. his songs as way bk as 1980s is still been aired till today . It is evergreen even before wizkid was born and after him.

How many of wizkid old songs dt is even living do we hear like dt presently.

international performance-----fela didn't do collaboration. He had a band. He was more of a stage/solo artist. so you cnt compare since fela didn't do collabo.

Do you know how many musical instruments fela can play? mention one wizkid can comfortably play.

Beyond back and forth argument. In saying which is greater , we all know is fela.

Am not a fan of either of them.
RomanceRe: Why Do Some Women Leave Over Sex,then Go On To Have Even More Sex With Other Men by gerizzim: 3:29pm On Jan 20
I don't think she left because of too much of sex. it is likely due to other reasons . she only use the sex as an obvious excuse so the guy won't feel bad.
people leave a place , a job , a relationship ,a location wit the expectation of getting or entering a beta or high value one.

You cnt leave a 100k pay job for a 30k job rather it's the reverse. After you get into the new place or job or relationship , you now realize dt they are plenty discomfort in the new location. you will likely want to go bk like the prodigal child.

the oda guys she went to date after she left may likely not disturb her too much for sex like the first guy she complained about.

It may be the flaws in those ones in oda areas dan sex may be more Dan the too much sex she was complaining abt bk wit the first guy.

It may likely be monetary reason. Most ladies can adjust to a guy wit high libido dt gives dem steady cash Dan a guy with high libido but doesn't give so much.

FamilyRe: My Mother Is The Worst by gerizzim: 7:13pm On Jan 18
Agozskey:
This is long...
My father died in 2017, I was 17years old and from that point, my life changed completely. I became the one carrying the responsibility of this family far earlier than I should have.
When it was time for me to go to school, my late father’s family agreed to sponsor my education. Instead of supporting it, my mother blocked it completely. Because of the hatred she had for my father and his family, she rejected their help and continued to paint my father in a bad light even after his death. That decision alone altered the course of my life.
Instead of school, she pushed me into serving an oga and learning sales against my will. I stayed there for about two years, and it did not work out. When I came back, I was 20 years old, already behind my mates.
From there, I started working in factories, struggling to earn money and bring it home. I denied myself basic things I didn’t buy clothes, didn’t enjoy my youth everything went into the house. At some point, she even wanted to be holding my salary, controlling it completely.
Eventually, I found a place where I started making a reasonable amount of money. At the time, where we were living was terrible, so with the little progress I made, I paid rent for a room-and-parlour apartment, bought furniture, bought her a big bed, bought a TV, and tried to give the family a better standard of living.
I was 22 years old, doing all of this.
I told my mother I wanted to save money and set myself up properly so I wouldn’t depend on one source of income forever. Instead of support, she insisted that I must “settle her” first before thinking about my future.
When I told her I wanted to leave the house to seek greener pastures, she refused unless I gave her money. Eventually, I counted ₦300,000 and gave it to her to start a business.
Mind you, at this point:
I was handling feeding
rent
clothing
and most household expenses
My brother was contributing nothing, and I never complained or pressured anyone. I carried everything alone.
Later, I lost my job and entered a broke phase again. I was still managing to make money online without structure, and we survived partly on the business I opened for her. That business eventually crashed, and as usual, she took no accountability for it.
After that, she went fully into farming. I clearly told her I hate farming and begged her not to involve me in it. Despite that, she kept forcing me, threatening that if I didn’t help, I would not eat from the farm produce.
This hurt me deeply, because when I was the one providing, I never once threatened my family with hunger.
THE INCIDENT THAT LED TO EVERYTHING
Today, she was pounding fufu. I was not in the mood and clearly told her I didn’t want to pound. I said she should find another means and I would help in other ways but pounding was a firm no.
Her response was that I would not eat from the food.
I stepped out to hustle for money as usual and came back later to eat. When I got to the kitchen, my mother stopped me from eating. At that point, everything inside me snapped. I told her that if I would not eat, then nobody would eat.
In anger and frustration built over years, I carried the pot of soup and threw it away.
She immediately started laying curses on me calling me a cursed child, saying I would never make it in life despite the fact that I have carried her and this family since my father died.
After struggling over the pot, she ran outside, called neighbors, and threatened to have me arrested. She told everyone I was wicked and cursed. As usual, it was me against her and the world. The neighbors only saw an angry son, not the years of sacrifice behind it.
She openly said she no longer wants anything to do with me.
The painful irony is this:
I am broke today largely because she has always made decisions for my life, blocked opportunities, and drained what little progress I made. My brother, who obeys everything she says, is also suffering silently but cannot speak.
HOW I FEEL NOW
I am exhausted.
I feel used, manipulated, and painted as a villain.
I feel like the more I sacrifice, the more control is taken from me.
I am fed up.
I don’t feel like I have a mother in this situation I feel like I have an opponent.

FamilyRe: Can This Marriage Work? by gerizzim: 8:00pm On Jan 14
Nahimm:
I turned 29 about a month ago. I met my wife in the first quarter of 2024. We dated for a short period—about three months—before she became pregnant.

At that time, I was earning very little and living in a face-me-I-slap-you single-room apartment. My wife, on the other hand, was working, had a side hustle, and was also in her final year of a part-time academic program. She earned more than I did then. I was almost done with my own part-time program and was hopeful that completing it would help me secure a better job.

My wife is from the South-West, while I am from the Middle Belt. I loved her deeply and did not want anything to make her unhappy. I agreed to marry her, but I was not financially prepared for the traditional marriage list her father gave me. Because of the pregnancy and the need to be married before the baby was born, we opted for a court wedding.

After the baby was born, we moved into a one-room self-contained apartment. God helped me secure a new job, and my income improved, although it is still not enough to say I have full financial stability.

After childbirth, I began noticing many issues. I cannot say they were unusual because we had never lived together before—she only used to visit me occasionally. My wife comes from a family where her parents are separated. When we started living together, we experienced frequent misunderstandings. She was often unhappy, easily provoked, and at times verbally insulting toward me. I also noticed challenges with hygiene and other domestic concerns.

People around me advised that these behaviors might be related to postpartum changes, so I tried to be patient. At the time, I worked from home, assisted with household chores, and made conscious efforts to make her comfortable and happy, but it remained difficult.

Whenever we had issues, she would invite her mother and sometimes her mother’s friends into our home. They would speak in her language, which I do not fully understand, and she would describe me as wicked and complain about finances. At that period, I was indeed struggling financially. I had debts from securing the apartment, which cost close to two million naira, and although she also supported during that process, the financial pressure was intense.

My wife does not talk much, but when she does, her words are often very hurtful. She has made statements such as threatening to curse the water and salt she used to cook for me and calling me broke and proud. I overlooked many of these comments, believing they were influenced by postpartum stress.

One pattern that concerned me over time was laundry. She would not wash my clothes. Personally, I do not see washing my own clothes as a major issue, especially since we do not yet have a washing machine and I have time to do laundry. However, when I wash, I wash everyone’s clothes—hers, mine, and the baby’s, including her underwear. Over time, it became concerning that even when she did laundry, she would not wash my clothes unless I complained.

Financially, I give her close to ₦100,000 monthly, which is about 60% of my salary, to cover feeding and the baby’s needs. I also take care of other household bills. Hospital expenses are covered under my HMO.

Despite this, she often makes it seem as though the money I give her is insufficient and that she spends far more.

I have tried to communicate constructively. For example, I suggested that she buy food items in bulk instead of in small quantities, but she does not take this advice.

One issue that escalated matters significantly was intimacy. She often reacts aggressively when I touch her at night. I have tried explaining that I understand intimacy cannot happen all the time, but when she declines, I expect politeness rather than kicking, shouting, or asking me to leave her alone. On the rare occasions when she responds more calmly, she gives reasons such as needing to wake up early for business or to prepare the baby.

She sees her mother almost every day and regularly shares details of what happens in our home with her.
Last month, following a serious disagreement, she left our home with the baby and went to stay at her mother’s house. During efforts to resolve the issue, her mother told me several things I had not previously known, particularly complaints about the amount of money I give my wife. I eventually settled the issue by stretching myself financially to satisfy her family.

Despite my efforts, my wife did not return immediately. She stayed at her mother’s house for approximately one month and returned only when she decided to do so.

My own mother, who had not yet met my wife, initially encouraged me to be patient and make peace. She supported the steps I took to resolve the issue so my wife could return home. However, after I had done everything requested and my wife still delayed her return, my mother became more protective of me. She suggested that I relocate and inform my wife of my decision—if she agrees, we relocate together; if not, I should proceed alone.

My mother’s concern is that this pattern might repeat in the future, possibly many years later, where my wife might leave with the children, disrupting my life and delaying my progress.

I have not acted on my mother’s suggestion.
My wife has now returned, and things appear slightly better, but her manner of communication has not changed significantly. She remains very defensive and does not welcome open, healthy conversations. When I feel overwhelmed, I go silent to avoid becoming aggressive. She also tends to withdraw and remain quiet.

At present, I am focusing on improving myself, particularly financially.

At some point, I considered divorce and discussed it with her. However, our nine-month-old baby is a major concern for me, and I genuinely want a stable and healthy home for my family.

I would appreciate guidance on how to handle this situation.
when the foundation is faulty, what can the righteous do? Let me ask?

was it before marriage or after marriage, you got to know that her parents are separated? Or you knew but overlooked it? if you knew before marriage and didn't dig deep to ask qtns wt led to her parents separation, then you allow the time bomb to lurk around till now it's detonating.

Another thing I got Frm ur story is dt u weren't very observant. A guy dt is vry observant shud be able to see some red flag he is not ok wit wen he is wit a lady in few weeks or mnts.

Anoda tin is how you position urself during dating. you shud av taken the position of a false trouble maker in d relationship during dating. Dt shud av make you see how she reacts to every trouble you trow at her. dt will give you a sign if you cn tame her or not. this I doubt you did.

Anoda thing I noticed is dt you were always trying to make her happy and dnt punish her wrong doing . when she does smth wrong, she knows you will easily fall for her manipulativ apology.

As for the qtn you ask if the marriage will work? my brother it will organically not work wit dis kind of character mother-in-law and wife have except she change.

Possible solution:

have a meeting with her mother over the matter. let the mother know dt your not ok wit her daughter. If the mother is taking side wit her, den start processing ur way out of dt sham union.

The dynamics is shifting. It all boils down to the kind of gals dt come your way.

what works for or didn't work for him may not infact cannot be applicable to others.

ideally as we get older , we are supposed to be more wiser and must have gathered enough experience about life but the curve doesn't extrapolate as we expect it to be. You can be 18, 20, 25, 30, 40 and still be dumb.

this marriage of a thing has less to do with age and.more to do with character.

I dnt mean she kneeling down goodmorning sir and goodeveng sir the woman will be saying as character here

How stable is the lady emotionally?
How stable is she financially?
How well can she Handle mental stress?
Is she a chaotic person or the one dt brings you peace?
How well can she cope when you have and when you dnt have?
How well does she relate or manage people?

There are plenty young gals now dt are doing well in business now ooo. I use to underrate them till I hear som of them tell.me how much they make doin a physical bizness.

some of the younger serious ones grow in maturity as they handle cash and transaction in their daily biz not as we assume them to be as financial burden.

I bet to be corrected. A lady of 23yrs working at trade fair or lagos island say for like 5yrs is far more mature Dan some unemployed graduate ladies in their 30's dt has Neva worked before.

Why? Her regular conversation with different people on the street which is the real life itself has equip her to handle not just finance but also how to manage diff people.

All in all. go with what works for you.
either way the argument shifts , that's the individuals opinion not really a generalized fact .
PoliticsRe: The Untold Side Of Court Marriage You Need To Know Today.... by gerizzim: 3:28pm On Dec 18, 2025

Before you push for court marriage, know it's true advantages and disadvantages and be sure of your decision.

First, there is nothing like court marriage in Nigeria. What you are calling court marriage is actually called "statutory marriage" or "Marriage at the registry" or "Marriage under the Act"

🚨🚨The advantages of statutory marriage are:

📍It only recognise one husband and one wife. It is a monogamous marriage.

📍It is easy to have and not expensive. With less than ₦70,000 you can have a valid statutory marriage.

📍It does not require parental consents for adults above 21 years.

📍Only two adult witnesses are required for the marriage to be valid and these witnesses do not need to be family members.

📍If a spouse contract another marriage with someone else without first divorcing the legal spouse, the legal spouse can sue the other for bigamy.

Bigamy is the 0ffence of marrying a second wife/husband and it comes with 7 years imprisonment.

📍The legal spouse can sue whom their spouse married and that will land the person 5 years imprisonment for marrying someone who had a statutory marriage and is not divorced.

📍Adultery is a ground for divorce and you can claim compensation against the spouse who committed adultery and the person they committed adultery with.

📍In the case of d£ath of one spouse, the living spouse have the legal rights to take control of what the late spouse acquired.

📍Even if the other spouse has side chicks and side cocks, or had traditional marriage with someone else, the legal spouse is the only one that will have a say and be recognized.

📍The marriage certificate, which has Nigerian Coat of Arms, and FORM E written on it is the only marriage certificate that is recognized all over the world. Any other marriage certificate is invalid.

The disadvantages of a statutory marriage (it can be advantages to some people depending on a particular case) are:

🚨It does not give children of the marriage special privilege against children born by the parents outside wedlock. All children of the couple, have equal rights.

For example, if your husband gets a woman pregnant and bears children outside, those children have right to inheritance alongside your children.

🚨There is nothing like 50/50 sharing of property during divorce. You can only get a share of what was acquired after the marriage and you must prove you contributed to acquiring them. Evidence comes into play!

🚨The divorce process is only done in any High Court in Nigeria.

🚨 Return of bride price does not end the marriage. You must go to court.

🚨You MUST use the services of a lawyer for the divorce case.

🚨The divorce case can last 2-5 years before it is concluded in the High Court.

🚨You MUST have money for the divorce case. For start to finish, budget between ₦700,000 - ₦1.5million for lawyer's fee, appearance fee, filing and service of court papers.

Stop forcing your partner to go for statutory marriage if the benefits you seek are different from these.
Funny enough, Most people dt did statutory marriage are ignorant of this.

it is those dt are well to do dat pass tru divorce.
shey Na person wen dey live for one room face me I face you wan pass tru divorce process?
a very large percentage of marriage brk up happen and end casually.

one partner beating the other person out of the home which ends the marriage.
