KingSatan:


As a man, a father and a grandfather. I have lived life to an extent and this is my view on this subject.

The previous thread was simple and concise, "Never marry a woman who has no means of income".

But that is the truth!

Gone are the days when people marry "Obiageri's" according to the Igbos.
Back then, things weren't this bad. Considering the family setting in those days, women had no other role than to cook, birth, raise children and clean the house.

So their parents prepare them for marriage, teach them how to cook, satisfy a man and raise children. They also spend alot of time grooming their hairs, taking care of their skin (Some parents send their children to fattening rooms) and waiting to get married.

When we got married, we married to keep them at home and show off to our friends. Only a few of us married because of love. Some of our partners were not our choice but our parents.

So when you marry, your wife and children should always reflect your wealth and networth. Most especially, YOUR WIFE.

I repeat, back then things were not this bad and everyone knew their roles.

But in today's world, so many things have changed.

Women should bring to the table as much as they expect from the man.

Raising children costs alot of money and shouldn't be the responsibility of the man alone.

So many marriages have crashed on the alter of poverty or "One stream of income".

We must learn to tell ourselves the truth always.

Back then, you don't spend so much to raise a child. If he or she wants to go to the community school or follow the white man's way of life, you send them as a punishment. But those humble and loyal sons, follow you to the farm and when they come of age, you give them farmlands and wives if possible. But that's not the case anymore.

Apart from formal education abroad, I also encouraged my children to learn sellable skills. One of my son is a fashion designer and that is what puts food on his table in the UK. His college degree only reflects on his call cards.

I told this to my children (Daughters inclusive) never to marry a man or woman who has no verifiable means of income.

Money is needed to run a home in the 21st century. Alot of money!

We no longer live in mud houses or drink from pots.

As for "Entitlement", I think every couple should have that mentality depending on the context.

The man is entitled to his wife's emotional commitment. She is his wife and this also applies to the man.

I am tired of typing.

To be truthful, i warned my son's against mingling with an average African woman. They simply don't want to know the truth. They hate the truth with Passion and that is why true feminism failed woefully here.

In the Diaspora, most men who want peace of mind avoid African women because of their "Entitlement Mentality" and how exploitative they are.

Many of these women don't work but enjoy proceeds of child support from numerous partners. You think it's a coincidence? No it not. It was deliberate.

They just want to seat at home, get fat, enlarge their butts and walk up and down the street like a pussy cat that resides in Buckingham Palace.

Should I talk about Nigeria, where you meet an average Nigerian lady and realise that;

1. She is a college graduate because a "Man" sponsored her in school (Both of them are no longer together as a couple).

2. She has a roof over her head because a "Man" made that available (She has no intention of marrying him).

3. She uses the best smartphone because a "Man" bought it for her (Just another random man).

4. She has clothes on her body because a "Man" gave her money for shopping (Obviously he is "One of those mugus".

5. She has food on her table because so many men send her money.

This same woman has no other skill but sexual skills. The only thing she can offer is "Sexual Intercourse", "Birthing Children" and "Companionship" but she expects the man to "Mark her birthdays with a brand new Escalade", "Buy her parents a new house and train her younger ones in school". Is that not exploitation?

This same woman hates her mother inlaw because she sees her as her rival. Anyway, women have always hated themselves from time immemorial, don't get moved when you see them shout in solidarity, it's just for a few seconds.

When asked about their contribution in the relationship or Marriage, some will say "I birthed children for him". But that's your natural default woman!

Even if you sleep with a sexually active mad man, you will get pregnant and birth for him.

Some will even say, "I satisfy him sexually. I gave him my body and soul". But that is same thing you did with your numerous ex lovers.

According to Pastor Sam Adeyemi, he said "If a woman does not help her husband financially, then how else does she want to help him".

In this age and time, it takes two adults who have a verifiable means of income to build a healthy family.


Cheers!

10 grammatical jargon often used by Nigerians.



In Nigeria, people use a lot of grammatical jargon daily and most this jargon are/were/is believed to be correct when view in the English man’s way, but interestingly, most of this jargon often have no sensible meaning when searched for in the dictionary.

Below are some compiled words.

(1)Installmentally:

This “word” is a favourite of many Nigerians, but, sadly, it simply does not exist. You won’t find it any reputable dictionary. The correct thing to say when “installmentally” comes to your mind is in instalments or by instalments.

(2)Plumpy:

Nigerians use “plumpy” when they want to say that someone is chubby or slightly fat. The correct expression is plump.

(3)Disvirgin:



This particular “word” is used severally on a daily basis, especially by Nigerian men when they intend saying that a woman has lost her virginity to a guy. The correct word to use, however, is deflower, because “disvirgin” is not a word depicting that meaning.



(4)Crosscarpeting or cross-carpeting



This is a favourite of Nigerian politicians and political analysts alike. They use it when they want to say that a politician has dumped his political party for another party, usually a rival party. The right terms to use when describing this scenario are party switching, defection and crossing the floor and not “cross-carpeting” or “crosscarpeting.”
Go-slow: The word go-slow exists, but not in the way Nigerians use it.

(5)A “go-slow,”

in the peculiarly Nigerian context, is a situation in which road traffic is very sluggish due to vehicle queues. However, go-slow in the English language actually means an industrial tactic used by employees whereby they intentionally reduce activity, productivity and efficiency in order to press home some demands. When this happens, you say that work in the office, factory or organization is at a go- slow. The correct terms to use when road traffic is very sluggish due to vehicle queues are traffic jam, traffic congestion, gridlock, and (less technically) hold-up, not “go- slow.”



(6)Cunny

“Cunny” is not found in authoritative dictionaries, but it can be found in some slang dictionaries. Over there, it is a slang used to refer to a woman’s v**ina. The correct term to use is cunning (which is used to describe someone that is being deceitful or crafty) and not “cunny.”

(7)Opportuned

There is nothing like “opportuned” anywhere in the English language, but that has not stopped its blatant use by all and sundry in Nigeria, including journalists and writers. The correct word is opportune. The word opportune is an adjective; therefore it has no past tense. An adjective has no past tense. However, some verbs can function as adjectives or adverbs in a sentence. These verbs are called participles and they do have past tenses. They are not pure adjectives. Examples of participles are fattened, amused, disgusted, mystified, overwhelmed, upset and bored. Be that as it may, opportune is a pure adjective and not a participle, therefore it has no past tense. Opportune means appropriate or well- timed.



(Alright

“Alright” is a misspelling of the term all right. All right is used when you want to say that something is adequate, acceptable, agreeable or suitable. To hardcore English language linguists, “alright” is not a word. However, its usage is gaining traction and it’s increasingly becoming acceptable. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary – which is considered the gold standard among American English speakers – has recently drawn a lot of criticisms for its permissiveness when it began indexing some otherwise colloquial and street language terms, including “alright.” Most linguists disagree with the gradual acceptance of “alright” as a word by the public and even the media, while those in the minority are “alright” with it.



(9)Wake-keeping

“Wake-keeping” exists only in the imagination of a few English speakers. As a matter of fact, there is no such thing as “wake-keeping.” The correct word is wake and not even “wake-keep.” Both “wake-keeping” and “wake-keep” are ungrammatical.



(10)Screentouch: This bad grammatical expression gained currency in Nigeria and neighbouring West African countries with the influx of made-in-China stylus pen touchscreen not- so-smart phones in the mid 2000s. It was a novelty then; many in Nigeria had not seen it – or even thought such advanced technology was possible – before. So, they looked for a name to call it and “screentouch” came to mind, after all you just touch the screen and it starts working. In case you’ve still not figured it out yet, the correct thing to say is touchscreen and not “screentouch.

So there you have it, 10 English language “words” Nigerians love to use that are not found in the dictionary. Feel free to add yours;

Hello prospective Abusites!
The A.B.U Zaria admission list is finally out. To check your admission status kindly follow the link below. http://abu.edu.ng/20142015-abu-admission-list/

Having recently lost my grandmother and mother in law, my 3 year old daughter has been asking questions as to where they are etc, how do I explain it to her without just saying 'she's gone to heaven' or being too brutally honest?

Porsches, Range Rovers and even Maseratis… luxury cars are no strange sight weaving through the old bangers that rumble along Abidjan’s chaotic streets, another indication of the emergence of a wealthy class in Africa.
Each of the vehicles costs at least tens of thousands of euros, representing decades of work for an Ivorian earning the minimum wage, even after it was recently hiked 60 percent to 60,000 CFA francs (around 90 euros, $125) a month.
Yet in wealthy Abidjan neighbourhoods the streets are jammed with more luxury autos than in rich quarters of European capitals.
It’s the same story in Johannesburg, Lagos, or even Libreville. In the Gabonese capital it is common to see SUV after SUV snaking along the oceanside boulevard.
Wealthy Africans love the big, high, four-wheel drive vehicles.
Not only are they better adapted to the roads, regularly in a poor condition, they have also become something of a status symbol.
In Gabon, 70 percent of the 6,000 new vehicles sold each year are big 4x4s, mostly Japanese models, according to the Gabonese Federation of Car Importers.
“Here, its a 4×4 or nothing,” said one car importer who declined to give his name. For the Gabonese, the SUV has become “the symbol of success, much more than a house”.
In Ivory Coast, luxury cars make up only 3 percent of the 8,000 new cars sold each year, said one industry expert who asked to remain anonymous.
“However certain customers are looking for the top of the line — “bling-bling” cars — there are people with money like that in the market,” he added. But the high taxes slapped on new cars have given the second-hand car market a boost. A significant proportion of luxury cars enter the country this way from Europe, the United States and even the Middle East.
And it isn’t just SUVs.
Despite the potholes that riddle Abidjan’s streets, there are importers offering low-slung sports cars like Lamborghinis and Ferraris.
A former rebel military leader turned security official, Issiaka Ouattara, known as “Wattao”, was recently seen on national television driving a Maserati.
This brash display of luxury cars is an indication of the growing wealth in Africa despite increasing numbers living in extreme poverty.
The African Development Bank put the size of the African middle class at 300 million in 2011.
Ventures financial magazine recently put the number of African billionaires at 55 — more than triple the previous count. That figure is likely an underestimate, the Nigerian magazine said, as many are not comfortable disclosing the true extent of their wealth.
Expansion across the continent
Luxury automakers are not letting this bonanza pass them by.
Porsche boasts a brand new showroom in Victoria Island, one of Lagos’ most chic neighbourhoods.
The German carmaker’s sales have jumped by nearly 40 percent the past two years in South Africa, where it has been present for decades.
It has recently set up shop in Angola and Ghana as well as Nigeria, according to Christer Ekberg, Porsche’s managing director for the Middle East and Africa. With 2,000 Porsche cars sold in sub-Saharan Africa in the first three quarters of this year, which the company described as a “promising” figure, the automaker is committed to expanding further across the continent.
Local partners are being sought for dealerships in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Namibia, Senegal, Tanzania and Zambia.
Mercedes also views the potential of the African market as “enormous”, a spokeswoman said.
The German carmaker has an assembly line in South Africa, where it sells 20,000 vehicles per year.
BMW said it also intends to keep expanding across Africa, where it saw 15 percent sales growth in 2012 to 34,000 vehicles.
As for Audi, the company expects further growth in certain parts of Africa, where its sales have doubled in three years to 22,000 vehicles.
The carmakers are also being pulled in by the need to service their vehicles that have already found their way into African countries.
A lack of parts and diagnostic equipment has led to these high-performance vehicles being kept off the road for months in Abidjan, according to an expert on the local car market.
“If Porsche comes to Ivory Coast, customers will be overjoyed to be able to repair their cars in a company garage,” said another expert on the African market.
“But they won’t necessarily buy there,” he added.
“Well-heeled clients are no different than others” and will likely plump for a second-hand vehicle in good condition that is much less expensive, he said. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PmNewsNigeriaFeed/~3/fQf715Zpuvo/

The Nok Frankfurt Exhibition: Matters Arising.
By
Zacharys Anger Gundu, PhD
Department of Archaeology
Ahmadu Bello University,
Zaria.
takuruku@yahoo.com
An exhibition on the Nok Culture titled ‘Nok. Origin of African Sculpture’ opened in Frankfurt, Germany on 30th October, 2013. This is coming after close to 10 years of controversial archaeological investigations in the Nok valley by a German archaeological team led by Professor Peter Breunig of the Goethe University, Frankfurt. The Germans started their investigation of the Nok valley in 2005. Without a proper memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM), the German team embarked on a suite of unethical activities involving wholesale exportation of excavated materials. Local communities in the Nok valley including community leaders and traditional chiefs were treated with contempt while the local archaeological community in the country was deliberately shut out of the project. Following sustained pressure and criticism of the project championed by the Archaeological Association of Nigeria (AAN), a MoU was signed between the Germans and the NCMM five years into the project. The AAN rejected this because it was badly skewed in favour of the Germans leading to a review by 2012. The extant MoU allows for the participation of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and the University of Jos as project collaborators.
The Frankfurt exhibition is a sad commentary on the management of archaeological and heritage resources in the country. As pointed out by the AAN in a statement against the exhibition, the Nok terracotta represent a strategic heritage resource in the country. They are the earliest of their type in sub Saharan Africa. This is the main reason why they ought to have been exhibited in Nigeria where the public has a direct connection with them before taking them to Germany. Debuting the exhibition in Germany undermines international best practice and shows that, Nigerians are yet to win the right to interpret their heritage and patrimony through preservation and display.
By starting the exhibition in Frankfurt, the European audience has been effectively privileged over Nigerians whose forefathers were directly responsible for the Nok culture. German scholars have also been effectively given a first opportunity to skew the interpretation of the Nok finds to reinforce European historiography and align with the philosophy of universal museums. The organizers of the exhibition have done this by exhibiting the Nok materials in dialogue with contemporary Egyptian and Graeco Roman sculptures. In the despicable philosophy of universal museums, the Nok materials are incompetent to stand alone before a European audience, hence the attempt to compare them as primitive art against figurative European art.
The exhibition is predicated on a skewed reading of the African past and it is clear, Nigeria had no input into the exhibition concept. This is unfortunate because the extant MoU with the Germans is particular on the fact that the Germans will only fund this exhibition and assist in the design of the exhibition concept. The 292 page exhibition catalog is also skewed. Not only is the catalog written in German, out of the 18 chapters in the catalog, only three of them are written by Nigerians, underscoring the exclusion of Nigerian scholars in the project.
The exhibition underscores the urgent need for Nigeria (and other African countries) to safeguard national patrimony and appropriate the right to interpret it. The European interest in African studies must be recognized for what it is, to take control of African past and validate the different ways of knowing it and to use Africa as a laboratory to breed European specialists in order to direct the direction of African studies and how to deploy knowledge on Africa in furtherance of European interests. Since 2005 when the Nok project started, the Germans have trained up to eight postgraduate students of European extraction at the Masters level using the Nok valley as a laboratory. At least two of these have started the PhD programme on different aspects of the Nok. Interestingly, no Nigerian is yet to be trained from this project at the postgraduate level. The Commission which is the ‘supervisory authority’ of the Nok project has been unable to coordinate properly for the training. In a recent reaction to the position of the AAN against the Frankfurt exhibition, the Director General of the NCMM, claims the Commission ‘has in mind’ the training of three Nigerian postgraduate students on the project at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. That this is coming close to ten years of the project after the Germans have produced eight Masters from the project is lost on the DG. Nigeria seems to be unprepared in effectively collaborating in this project. With the incompetence in the NCMM, it is not clear how Nigeria will benefit from the clause in the extant MoU that requires the Germans to support the training of at least three Nigerians at the PhD level at the Goethe University, Frankfurt.
The status of the Nok materials exhibited in Frankfurt is also not clear. Also obscured is how the materials even got to Germany. According to a press release by the organizers of the exhibition (Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung), the exhibition comprises both original terracotta pieces and copies. In their words ‘Original terracotta will be presented next to faked pieces and copies’ The organizers claim that ‘countless forgeries and copies have found their way into the art market and into museum collections’. The organizers are silent how the ‘original terracotta’ and ‘copies’ on exhibition here were collected. Did all these come from the efforts of Professor Breunig and his team? What exactly did the organizers receive on loan from the NCMM to supplement the exhibition? Answers to these questions are important not only because they will help Nigeria hold Germany accountable when returning these materials, but also clear the German team of charges of involvement in illicit trade in antiquities in the Nok valley.
In the past, both the Germans and the NCMM have denied the wholesale export of the Nok materials claiming only small samples and broken terracotta were taken out for analysis and restoration. The sheer number of Nok materials on display at Frankfurt and the fact that even fakes and copies were on display means that both the Germans and the NCMM were economical with the truth about what the Germans were exporting from the Nok valley. Considering the huge competence gaps in the Commission and the demonstrable lack of patriotism by the leadership of the NCMM, it is any body’s guess whether we have good records of what was taken out of the Nok valley. It is also not clear if we will be able to hold the Germans to account when these materials are returned to the country. In at least one case highlighted by the Archaeological Association of Nigeria, the Germans were permitted to export a sealed deposit of Nok materials in POP from the site of Garaje. This was opened in Mainz where the so called restoration of the Nok terracotta pieces took place in the absence of Nigerian scholars even though the export permit gave this as a condition. No one knows what the Germans recovered from this cast except what they have told us.
The NCMM which has statutory stewardship responsibility over the country’s heritage resources is sadly nonchalant about securing these resources for the benefit of Nigerians. In 2007, the Commission approved the export of rare funerary materials from the site of Durbi Takusheyi in Katsina to Mainz in Germany, ostentatiously for restoration. After the restoration, the Germans retained the objects and put them on display in 2011 with the promise that the materials will return to Nigeria in 2012. These materials are still on display in Germany and no one knows when they will return to Nigeria.
German scholarship is extremely dubious with the national patrimonies of other nation states. The German, Leo Frobenius is still fingered in the disappearance and replacement of the Olokun head in Ife with a copy. The export of the bust of Nerfertiti from Egypt in 1913 by Ludwig Borcherdt also underscores German underhand dealings. The bust has remained in Germany all these years with the German Government contesting its ownership with Egypt. Yet in another development, German scholars exported the Bogazkov sphinx and other archaeological materials from Turkey for restoration after which they refused to return the items to Turkey. It was only in 2011 that international pressure compelled Germany to agree to return these treasures to Turkey. Nigeria and other African countries dealing with countries like Germany and rogue ‘universal’ museums must be very careful. At the moment, Germany is holding 1,038 Benin stolen artifacts between five of their museums in Berlin, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Dresden and Leipzig. The Leo Frobenius Institute in Frankfurt alone has 5,670 Nigerian antiquities in its collections many of which were collected and exported under dubious circumstances. If the NCMM were genuinely concerned with safeguarding Nigeria heritage, they would have been exploring how to engage Germany in order to ensure the repatriation of some of these treasures. What we see instead is the continued legitimization of exhibitions of Nigerian treasures outside the country by rogue museums and other institutions who are totally unwilling to sit down to discuss the repatriation of Nigerian antiquities illegally held in their storerooms.
In the case of the Frankfurt exhibition (and others), the Commission has continued to argue that exhibiting Nigerian treasures outside the country brings ‘good will to Nigeria’ and is a window of opportunity to ‘sell the country outside oil’. This is warped thinking striving only because of the incompetence in the Commission. Exhibitions of Nigerian treasures originating in the west cannot bring good will to the country precisely because, they are predicated on exhibition concepts that are skewed against Nigeria. For rogue universal museums, such exhibitions do not only flaunt stolen Nigerian heritage treasures, they portray Nigeria as foolish when they invite us to legitimize such exhibitions through attendance and contributions to exhibition catalogs. We accept the portrayer when we actually attend such exhibitions and contribute to their catalogs. Nigeria is certainly in need of good will and must aspire to sell itself outside oil. Yet, doing this requires the cultural sub sector to come to the knowledge that foreign exhibitions of our treasures are not the way to go. Not when they do not originate from us and we are not writing the exhibition concept. The way to go is to first elevate our patrimony to premium status in the country before others can buy us outside oil.
Nigeria must use the unfortunate Frankfurt exhibition to review modalities for international collaboration in the study of the country’s patrimony. As custodians of our heritage, the NCMM must support Nigerian scholars to take control of the study of our past and appropriate the right to interpret it. The Frankfurt exhibition must be the last of its kind. Nigerian heritage treasures must debut in Nigeria before going out. The NCMM and Nigerian Government should also stop legitimizing the exhibition of illicit Nigerian treasures held by rogue museums in Europe and America. Time has come to put in all we can to engage countries and institutions laying claims to our antiquities.

Mallam and white wedding? Bloody hypocrites.

The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) has confirmed plans to hand over Tinapa, a business and leisure resort, to a private sector operator.
AMCON had Monday signed an agreement with Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, which effectively handed over 85 per cent of Tinapa’s shares to the corporation.
The move followed a recent letter from the state governor to the Cross River House of Assembly seeking approval for the government to hand over its shares in Tinapa to AMCON, to pave the way for the privatisation of the outfit which has remained unprofitable since it was set up in 2007.
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, AMCON, Mr. Mustapha Chike-Obi, while commenting on the privatisation plan, said: “The strategy is to find an operator for Tinapa immediately. We will advertise for an operator very soon, inject capital into the facility and allow the operator to run it for some years.
“After Tinapa has been made profitable, we will privatise it just like we are doing to the three bridged banks we took over. So it is the same strategy we used for the banks that we are using for Tinapa.” The strategy to revive Tinapa, Chike-Obi however pointed out, would be subject to the approval of the Cross River State House of Assembly.
Governor Imoke noted that the purpose for which Tinapa was established had not been fully realised despite efforts by the state government to make it profitable.
Under the deal, AMCON has inherited the N18 billion debt the Cross River State Government owes the banks for the construction of Tinapa, as well as other assets and liabilities of Tinapa.
AMCON is also expected to inject about N29 billion to revive business activities in Tinapa before inviting investors to take over majority shares in the outfit.
Speaker of the Cross River House of Assembly, Mr. Larry Odeh, had said the move to privatise the institution was in the best interest of the state, adding that it would stimulate growth of the economy of the state.
Over $350 million was spent by the administration of former governor Donald Duke to set up the business and tourism centre in the state.
The Tinapa Free Zone and Resort has facilities for retail and wholesale activities as well as leisure and entertainment.
The resort has about 80,000 square metres space for retail and wholesale made up of four emporiums of 10,000 square metres each and smaller shops, warehouses, among others.
Also, it has an entertainment strip that hosts a casino, digital cinema, children’s arcade, restaurants, a mini amphitheater, a night club and pubs.
Its business facilities include an open exhibition area for trade exhibitions and other events, and a movie production studio called “Studio Tinapa” or “Nollywood”.

Traders under the aegis of National Market Women Association, Monday, stormed the National Assembly in protest, demanding that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, call off its strike of over 100 days.
The protesters, who had been at the Ministry of Education and Office of the Head of Service, arrived the Assembly complex at 11.30a.m.
President-General of the group, Mrs Felicia Sani, who led the more than 200 protesting women, said: “We are tired of seeing our children at home. We want our children back in school. Enough of this cheap blackmail.
“We all know what they do with our year-one daughters in the university. We equally know that they sell handouts and handbooks.
“Is this not worse than corruption of the highest order?”When asked why she did not criticise the Federal Government for failing to reach an agreement with ASUU, Mrs Sani said: “Which agreement? How do you expect lecturers in state universities to earn same salaries as Federal ones? That is impossible.
“We are not educated, but you do not expect a hotel in my village to cost same price as a hotel in Abuja.
“They are located in different places. So how can a state university lecturer earn same salary with his federal counterpart?
“We are begging them for the last time. If we come out again we may have to chase them out of this country and replace them with so many jobless Nigerians.”http://www.informationng.com/2013/10/ASUU-strike-market-women-storm-national-assembly-in-protest.html

afroluciferans:

I dont like Nigerian politicians. Infact I detest them. But the fact Is that death is not a distinct punishment in real sense. Anyone that thinks so is indeed a shallow thinker. The bitter truth is that both the good, the bad, the rich and poor are dying everyday.

You may be wrong you know? Because while that is true of death, it is also a FACT that a honorable death is what most of us want (if not all of us that is) and in this case, I doubt if we'd want to call the death of a corrupt and thieving Nigerian politician a HONORABLE death?

Learnt quite alot from this post. Jazakallah khayran brother.
