A young Nigerian woman who was inspired to turn her Instagram page into a platform for questions and advice has taken social media by storm, amassing more than 40,000 followers in just two months.
Ziya’atulhaqq Usman Tahir, 27, lives in Bauchi, Nigeria and works as a caterer for weddings, but recently found her calling as an 'Agony Aunt' after offering advice to a female friend.
'She was having a problem with her boyfriend,' Tahir told BuzzFeed News . 'I explained things to her, but she didn't want to believe me. I asked her if I could post her story on my Instagram and people will advise her. And she said, "OK, why not." And that's how it started.'
That first post received an 'overwhelming' response, and encouraged others to write in with their stories of personal problems.
Two months ago, Tahir created the Instagram @Fatibolady, which would become the platform where she and her followers would try to help women in the majority-Muslim northern part of the country.
She receives texts and messages from anonymous people in need of advice and posts them on the photo-sharing page so that others can put in their two cents.
The topics covered on her social media page are vast - everything from domestic violence to dealing with young ladies' crushes.
Each post receives thousands of likes and comments, which is a revelation given that she lives in a society where publicly airing out your personal problems - be that in love or family matters - is discouraged.
Since it started, Tahir's site has amassed over 40,000 followers who regularly comment on the hundreds of anonymous posts already on the site - chosen from the 20-odd emails Tahir receives every day. The posts come in both English and Hausa - the area's local language.
The queries offer a unique look into the married lives of Muslim women in northern Nigeria.
For one woman, her fiance was concerning her with his overly-familiar way of referring to a family friend - calling her 'baby' and 'love' - but when she approached him about it he said that 'she's just like a sister to him' and that 'it's no big deal'.
'I want to know if it's really nothing or I'm just being over protective or unnecessarily jealous,' she told Tahir, who posted the problem on the site.
One woman offered: 'As long as you are in a relationship with someone then it is your duty to respect how they feel,relationship is a two way thing,if you are not happy with it then he should respect how you feel and stop irrespective of whatever reason he has.'
However, others felt differently, with one writing: 'It's actually not a bad thing to call your female friends with pet names... if you really trust your man, please let it slide.'
Another post saw a wife claiming that her sister-in-law was upsetting her by commenting on the fact she was approaching 30 and hadn't yet had children, yet when she complained to her husband he would reply that his sister was 'full of jokes and she meant no harm'.
Tahir urged the woman to be patient while some of the followers offered courses of action.
'She's being nasty,' concluded one Instagram user. 'If your mother in law is a fair woman ask her to talk to her.'
Tahir, whose Instagram page also declares her love for English football and joloff rice, believes that part of her popularity comes from the tech-loving Nigerian culture, where social media is exceedingly well used.
'Nigerians, we are iPhone fanatics, everybody wants to have an iPhone. Our network is very good,' she said. 'Nigerians are - how can I put it - we like new things. If something new comes out, we want to use it.'
For more complicated issues, Tahir also enlists the help of lawyers, psychiatrists and journalists to help provide the best advice - and also encourages forwarding cases of concern to proper authorities.
The majority of posts, often addressed to the 'jurors', on the page feature women lamenting issues of fidelity, money or honesty when it comes to their husbands or boyfriends.
The stigma around women sharing their problems has led to a lot of 'bottling up', which Tahir views as a serious problem as it leads to frustration, further problems and even drug abuse .
'I think people should talk about their problems,' she said. 'Let’s say for instance, this lady whose husband has not been sleeping with her. It has been six months, your husband has not been sleeping with you. In Nigeria, you’re not allowed to say something about it.'
She added: 'I don’t want anybody to be stigmatized.'

[/s] December 2015 have passed, tell us another story

Buhari dealing with corrupt people since time immemorial

[s]

iykecicero:
ONITSHA — IGBO traders and businessmen have cried out over what they described as the recent harsh economic policies introduced by the Federal Government, saying that such policies were allegedly introduced to cripple their businesses across the country. A vox pop conducted by the South East Voice across the five states of the region showed that the traders were angry with the Federal Government for introducing the $5,000 Basic Traveling Allowance, BTA, as well as for making Kano State the “clearing house for all imported goods in the country.”

Those, who spoke at separate interviews, also, faulted the ban on importation of certain commodities like shoes and other agricultural products. They said that efforts should have been made to encourage local producers instead of banning them without warning.

The Ogirishi of Igboland, Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, who spoke in Onitsha, said that although it was good for the government to ban the importation of furniture, toothpicks and rice, among others, the policy should have been carried out in phases to enable local producers come to terms with the situation.

“It is an insult to import textiles into this country while our textile industries are not flourishing. But the current government policies are targeted at suppressing Ndigbo as a race. Such policies include the current clamp-down on foreign exchange and making Kano the clearing ground for imported goods. How can one leave Port Harcourt or Lagos and travel to the extreme north to clear his goods? These are wrong policies because they will discourage local and foreign investments.

“In the same vein, the Buhari’s regime is not observing the constitutional provisions for federal character in political appointments. The government is also discriminating against Ndigbo in the area of execution of projects as the South East Zone is excluded in the provision of social amenities. This is very bad.

Buhari should focus on achieving uninterrupted electricity supply. The government should even encourage building of indigenous private refineries rather than relying on the oil cabals, who are deceiving the government and making life unbearable for the entire citizenry, Onwuka who is also the proprietor of Rojenny Sports Resort, said.

In his contribution, Chief Gilbert Bravo Obi, chairman, Nigerian Importers Association, Anambra State branch said: “We heard that President Buhari wants to transfer the clearing house for all imported goods to Kano. Since he assumed office, traders have not been finding things easy. There is no more importation business in Nigeria, and you know, that majority of importers are Ndigbo.

Importation business

However, I must emphasize that it is still too early to draw a conclusion that Buhari’s policies are either favourable to Ndigbo or not, or that they are favourable to business environment or not. At Nnewi, the Publicity Secretary of Anambra State Traders Association, Dede Uzor Uzor said that, “the government of President Muhammadu Buhari has stayed for over six months now, adding that it had hit him adversely as a businessman.

“The economic policies of the present administration has affected me personally; as a businessman, who trades on textile materials and pharmaceutical products. The administration introduced the policy of $5,000 as BTA. That means that you can only travel outside Nigeria with only $5,000. Tell me how a trader, who imports from overseas can survive with such amount of money. It is not possible for a trader to survive with that amount, after paying over N200, 000 for your air ticket.

“The government knows those siphoning money to their overseas bank accounts, but has left them to pounce on ordinary traders, who are doing their businesses in order to hamper their operations. The other time about seven Onitsha main market traders were arrested and their money seized because of their alleged involvement in money laundering. What money laundering? “Tell me how a trader can survive in this present administration with this policy of $5,000 as BTA?

“So, the government of President Buhari is not helping traders. This government is killing us, quote me. The traders are crying, so he should review the policy because it is affecting everybody. Nigerians are suffering because of that policy, because if it does not affect you as a trader or importer, it will affect you as a consumer.

Big time traders

“Nigerians are crying over the high prize of goods and services, which have skyrocketed to high heavens. The average man on the street is crying. Buhari should discard that policy because about 80 per cent of Nigerians are either petty traders or big time traders while 20 or 30 per cent are civil servants. Tell me how these people can survive when Nigeria does not produce anything; virtually nothing, so in situations like this the government should listen to the yearnings of the people.

“Democracy is supposed to be government of the people by the people and for the people, but this one is government of the people by the people, against the people. This is man’s inhumanity against man. This is economic blockade and President Buhari must review the bad policy or other policies that are not just against the people but the economy. “Nigerians know those who have stolen their money. Buhari knows those who have stolen Nigeria’s money.

“He should go after them and not traders who have not occupied any government offices or done any government jobs or contracts. We have been suffering over the years; doing our buying and selling businesses. Some of us have graduated from small scale businesses to importers and now you want to kill our businesses with one policy that somebody just woke up and introduced. This has made people to abandon their businesses. It is inhuman. The policy lacks human face.

Dr Okey Umeano, an industrialist, medical doctor and a politician said that the Federal Government was not serious with any economic policy that would lead the country to prosperity. What they are doing is trial by error. The government is still grappling with the issue of petroleum subsidy and there is no economic direction yet by the government. When they come up with one, we will know.

“It is unfortunate that during the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan, some people were against petroleum subsidy; those people criticized it and even sponsored protests against Jonathan over subsidy. “Those people who were against Jonathan must be ashamed of themselves now .We are waiting for them to come out and criticize the present government for removing petroleum subsidy.

“Actually, this government surprised us with its $5000 BTA policy for business travels among others. Those who introduced that policy are wicked. The policy is aimed at witch haunting some people, but at the end of the day they have used it to cripple the economy of some people but everybody is now suffering. When you bring up such policies, you have to introduce measures to cushion the effects. We are not producing some of the things that they are discouraging people from importing into the country.”

Mr Rob Emeka Eze, a small scale industrialist and movie producer also spoke on the issue. He said, “The economic policy of the present administration has succeeded in crippling the economy. I do not know how they came up with some of these economic policies. Sometimes, I do wonder the type of economic advisers the present administration has. They are misleading the government. President Buhari should listen to the yearning of the masses and reverse some of these economic policies that are killing the economy. They are crippling the economy; we are not doing anything these days.

“We believe that they are experimenting with these economic policies with the hope of dropping some of the ones that are not working, like the $5000 BTA. They have crippled our businesses with that policy and it is affecting everybody I hope they will review it.”

Economic policies

Mr Alphonsus Eze Okete, who trades on kernel also criticised the present economic policies which he said had “locked down the country for six months now, saying that people were now being arrested for swallowing foreign currencies at airports instead of drugs because of the harsh economic policies of the Federal Government.

“The whole thing was meant to cripple the Igbo. That is why people have now resorted to smuggling the dollar and other currencies instead of hard drugs. It is like cutting your nose to spite your face. We have taken ourselves back by 50 years and this is ridiculous. “What traders do now is to collect money among themselves and smuggle same through couriers. That is the reason for the upsurge in the trafficking on the dollar and other currencies, Eze added.

Lol the Facebook hausa language translation features have been operating since time immmorial

Gh

Ambo oooo oooo

Op and u think media blackmail can work on pmb I don't think so, if the likes of ffk, fayose can be insulting all day without even receiving a reply nor ruffling the president what do you think pdp can do to a determine person such as buhari. U can see from the Biafran agitators that buhari have already damned the consequences and the best thing for pdp to do is to return the loot. Where I live the president posture against fight against corruption is receiving appraise and support and there is no way pdp can fight sumbodi who has majority of masses with him

spanishkid:
keep quiet there. Nothing will happen. PMB should rule this country with an iron fist. I'm in full support of whatever he does.

APCLyingBastard:
For your low level reasoning you ought to know that the President swore to protect the constitution and abide by the laws of the land.

If that you are all mor0ns why did you vote in an election?


Why did you not form or join your boko cousins up north to wrest power by force from GEJ and hand it over to Buhari as supreme Khalifar?

If you knew the stup1dity of your reasoning and logic and how absurd it will sound to the international community wherein just 6mths into civilian adminstration you supporters of Buhari are asking for the suspension of the constituion and an end to democracy.

Let me see how that will pan out .

[/s] we love tyrant buhari and there is nothing ipod miscreants can do about it

astrodome:

what you pointed out didn't prove that he started his business abroad as u claim earlier. But let me help u with a link to prove that he first made it in sokoto before anywhere.
Interestingly, Eric started business in Sokoto state, around 1982, specialising in spare parts. He was a World Bank’s consultant, receiving supplies for projects supported by the bank. Later, he started dealing in fire extinguishers
www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-tomato-king/217121/
This guy speaks hausa fluently and even from his attire above is similar with what pmb wears. The sokoto governor have to go to his plant in lagos for visit.

astrodome:
You lie. He was abroad before returning to Nigeria. Read that article with an open mind

it is true, he started his first business in sokoto selling spare parts

gretblue:
I have been staying in the North for the past 5yrs.I am 100% familiar with the terrain.The said Dasuki cant even win a govship election in his abode (Sokoto state) talk less of winning a presidential election in the North.

Thanks for your diagnosis. However, my condition has been worsened by our president's inability to communicate in our official language and his choice of foreign media to disseminate information to the good people of this country.

Ok, so why did goodluck Jonathan Always wears Ijaw attire, don't you think that shows how sectional he is?

Aren't you the people that first blockaded the Niger bridge refusing traders and other passers by the right of way So why are u complaining when the soldiers are returning the favour...

dmater:
Kokori is from Delta State; most likely Urhobo and he is talking on behalf of another people entirely different from his own people.
So you have no talk.
