Family / How Has Fatherhood Changed You? by influenz: 9:10am On Jun 18, 2017
Good day Nairalanders.

Its no longer news that today is Fathers day.
A day set aside to celebrate our fathers and potential Fathers.

Personally fatherhood hood has changed my life for the better. I will itemize the ways fatherhood has changed me

1. Sacrifice: we know that the nation is going through a difficult time. This has impacted on our families as inflation has eroded our spending powers. This made the economic concept "alternative forgone" more prominent. Most times I give up on what I want to ensure my baby gets the best I can afford.

2. Spending more time at home: I now spend more time at. I make conscious effort to leave work on time to get home on time to spend more time with my baby. Read books to her (even though she is like 4 months), I observe she likes it when I read children books to her. This huge smiles on her face reveals that.

3. Develop my reading culture: I now spend most of my time reading books on fatherhood, family building, making money etc as fatherhood demands all these.

4. Appreciate my wife more: For the pains, sacrifices, and all that pertain to motherhood my wife has been through to bear me a child, I appreciate her more. My love for her has increased and I cant wish a better wife.

5. Improved relationship with God: I realized that fatherhood is not easy task. We all need God to see us through.

Peeps please feel free to shares yours and let's make fatherhood a venture that is worthwhile.

Politics / Bad Faith Of Lt.-col. Gowon by influenz: 1:32pm On Jun 01, 2017
BAD FAITH OF LT.-COL. GOWON

It is very unfortunate that most Yoruba and Igbo youths have not taken time to know some salient facts about the disharmony and political distrust amongst the constituents of the entity called Nigeria.

One of the major enemies of the Nigerian State is Gowon. Even though he has claimed to be born again now, and has gone around seeking for forgiveness on his role in the issues that is still tearing this entity called Nigeria till date, it does not negate the fact that if he has done what was to be done at the right time, maybe Nigeria could have been among the G7 nations (who knows).

Below is an excerpt of the fact that immaturity, short - sightedness, lack of vision and purpose on the part of those who led this nation in its infancy stage is what we are still suffering today.

No need to call Afonja or IPob yoot or whatever name you have devised to insult yourselves. Identify the real enemy and the problem is half solved.

40. The failure of Lt.-Col. Gowon to adhere to the decisions unanimously reached at Aburi is only the latest evidence of his bad faith, inconsistency and lack of realism.


41. On the first day of his seizure of power he had pleaded for co-operation from the East Military Government, and had promised to retain power only temporarily in order to normalise the extraordinary conditions created by himself and his fellow Northerners, military and civilian. Thereafter the Military leaders were to meet and decide on the leadership. Lt.-Col. Gowon has never fulfilled that promise. The breach of his promise to see to the return of arms and ammunition by Northern soldiers evacuated from the East has already been mentioned in paragraph 8 above. Lt.-Col. Gowon also assured the Military Government of the East in August, 1966 that he would stop the killings in the country, but these killings subsequently increased in organization and ferocity until they reached the proportions of a pogrom. He moreover promised that the inquiry set up by Major-General Aguiyi Ironsi into the May massacres of Easterners in Northern Nigeria would "certainly go on as scheduled". Nothing has been heard again about this inquiry ever since. So also most of the difficulties preventing the return to normal conditions in the country have stemmed from Lt.-Col. Gowon’s bad faith in not implementing the unanimous decisions reached by the representatives of the military leaders at their meeting in Lagos on 9 August.



42.Early in September 1966, armed soldiers of Northern origin from Ibadan raided Benin Prison and removed soldiers who had been detained as a result of their
alleged involvement in the attempted coup of

15 January. The Northerners among the detainees were set free and repatriated to the North; the remainder, mainly Easterners, were murdered under brutal circumstances. And although Lt.-Col. Gowon gave assurances that the murderers would be brought to justice, so far the perpetrators of the atrocities have gone unpunished.



43. It was exactly this same sort of bad faith that Lt.-Col. Gowon exhibited in September, 1966. In his opening address to the Ad Hoc Constitutional Conference, he had himself instructed the delegates to choose one of the following alternatives in formulating a new Constitution for Nigeria:

"(a) A Federal system with a strong Central Government;
"(b) A Federal system with a weak Central Government;
"(c) A Confederation ;or

"(d) An entirely new arrangement which may be peculiar to Nigeria."

At the same time Gowon disavowed any intention of dictating to the country a particular constitution. When, however, he saw that the delegations were veering towards the second or third alternative, he adjourned the conference indefinitely. He thereupon
announced that "the idea of a temporary confederation is unworkable" and that he was appointing "a drafting committee" to prepare a constitution which "will reflect the generally expressed desire for a stable federation". it will be recalled, however, that the delegations to the Ad Hoc Conference went to Lagos in September, 1966, after extensive consultations among the people in each Region. Thus each delegation went
with a mandate representing the "expressed desire" of its people. But, true to type, Lt.-Col. Gowon placed a dubious construction on the submissions
of the delegations to suit his purpose and that of his advisers.



44. Contrary to the decisions at Aburi recruitment into the Army has continued in different parts of the country except the East; contrary to these agreements, Lt.-Col. Gowon has proceeded to appoint Ambassadors without reference to the Supreme Military Council; contrary to the agreements, purchase and importation of arms have continued. Lt.-Col. Gowon unilaterally postponed the meeting of Military officers to discuss the reorganization of the Army as agreed at Aburi. The proposed meeting of Finance officials on the problem of rehabilitation of displaced persons has not even been held because Lt.-Col. Gowon’s Finance Permanent Secretary does not think that such a meeting will serve any useful purpose. -


45. In the light of the foregoing and since there is clearly no hope of a change of attitude on the part of Lt.-Col. Gowon, the East Military Government considers that the time has come when it must take a final stand against a regime which cannot abide by agreements voluntarily arrived at. The Military Government of the East is irrevocably committed to the task of ameliorating the suffering of its struggling people and providing them with the peace, order and good government which are their overriding needs. To this end the Government will publish shortly its future policy towards the implementation of the Aburi agreements.
