It depends.

If you are cooking for yourself alone, it can be expensive. Cheaper when cooking for a family size, we call it economies of scale. You go even chop belleful and visit pot again.

Aha! I have an elevated view of your original perspective and appreciate your clarification.

I've never read that book. I'm curious to read that "Gandoki" novel (based off of the 1933 writings of Muhammadu Bello Kagara) in FULL down the road.

I've ONLY just read a 2012 critique of that book and I'm stunned that Macmillan Publishers went ahead to publish this kind of book for Primary school kids. The critique is right in the link BELOW.

Interesting takes based off of your primary school experiences of the 1980s and alleged "military control of what you read." I brings back recollections for me.

For folks like me (who was alive and witnessed unfolding events back in the 1970s right to the 1980s), I can say WITHOUT a shadow of doubt that aside from the Federal government control of NTV (which became NTA) and FRCN, the military dictators didn't have FULL control over what we read and the publications of the private-led media outfits such as the Punch, Sketch, etc, newspapers that printed over 500,000 copies daily for circulation around Nigeria. With the advent of LTV in Lagos and CTV in Kano in the early 1980s, information dissemination became even more liberal and interesting. There were private magazines as well such as the iconic "DRUM" and "EBONY" magazines and other political and social consciousness international publications such as "West Africa" that emphasized on the struggles of indigenous folks in South Africa through ANC, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Namibian SWAPO liberation movements, etc.

The iconic Edo-born 'Dele Giwa (He was a former staff of New York Times and co-founder of Newswatch Magazine) and his colleagues such as Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese, and other investigative journalists from Vanguard, Chief Aboderin's PUNCH, Sketch, New Nigerian newspaper, and more really gave the sometimes corrupt military guys a tough time and we were fully consciousness of the goings on.

Throw Abami Eda (Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's) radical political conscious music from the 1970s into the 1980 in the mix and we were in a FULL state of political consciousness.

Tinubu failed woefully.

blacksam01:
On this I can see with own eyes that you are correct cuz I trust the "world street journal"..

shoodboi2:
Is that so? I never knew the BBC was visiting graves in Russia one after another. You have any link to prove that? Or it's just another failed attempt at propaganda?

And what were you saying about Ukraine not refusing to receive their dead? Common man, it's online 😂

KaLuCh:
Wait one minute first make I ask you question. Why you dey suppprt Russia again? How this war go benefit you? How Putin take help your life and how Zelensky take harm you? Wetin Ukrainians do wrong to you and how Russians take bless your existence?

Cos I no really understand the energy una dey use for this matter at all.

shoodboi2:
Another bad shot from the anti Russian propagandists. They have gone from Russia is fighting with shovels and Russia is removing chips from washing machines, to Russia is using African to fight in Ukraine.

There are countless videos of Ukrainian soldiers raiding houses and dragging men off streets into buses, from where they are sent to the frontlines.

But our pro-western blokes here will never talk about it and will even deny it's happening.


We have many Nairalanders living in Russia. How come they have not been recruited or even made any report of Africans being forced into the Russian military?

Jashub:
Trust American propaganda...tueh

Proof of life doesn't mean squat
Most kidnappers are merely assassins in disguise. Already padi to do the job, the ransom is just a bonus.
You demand proof of life from a Nigerian kidnapper? You definitely want the kidnapped victim dead.
We never reach that stage yet.
It's still loading .

hotspec:
May Nigeria not happen to you and your family. So, you will be demanding for proof of life from kidnappers that came with all sorts of automatic weapons to kidnap a retired Major right inside his bedroom? There's difference between film, textbook and real life Nigeria

jmoore:


Wetin be his name?

iwaeda:
However, as soon as the abductors discovered that Ajayi couldn’t survive, they reduced the ransom to ₦10 million naira.

A source in the community said that the Ajayi family, believing he was still alive, quickly agreed to pay the ten million naira for his rescue.

“Once the ransom was paid, the kidnappers directed the family to where they would find him, only for them to meet his (Ajayi’s) lifeless body.”

She deserves her happiness and you shouldn't deny her of this. If she's found love in someone else, let her move on. The part I think you should be bothered about is the wickedness of the culture that wants to severe her from her children because she is married to him. You may want to ask her what her plans are for your siblings when she marries her new husband. The man should be able to take them in without changing their names.

zoghys:
She has every right to remarry if she wants and your opinion is not needed at all. She is your mum not your lover so stop been a baby and grow up. Your responsibility is towards your siblings to help them find their foot in life, so pray hard, work smart and make your late dad happy .

Chram:
I write with Pains in my heart.
I wish to ask God why some certain events occur in life.
I have lots of questions to ask, but nobody to give me answers.

I describe as Selfish, inconsiderate and egoistical the decision of my mum to remarry.

So, I lost my lovely and caring dad six years ago. We had lived in Port Harcourt prior to his death. When we were traveling to the village, we packed all the little properties we had cos we were not going to return back to PH again since my mum would not be able to cater for myself and little siblings.
After the burial and funeral ceremony, we all stayed in the village. I mean a typical village where there's no good road, no electricity, no mobile network. I stayed for a few months, then left them to go squat with my friends in port Harcourt so I could hustle with my muscles and return back to sch at least because it had always been my dad's desire for all of us to go to sch, so I beat my chest and vowed that I would go to sch and graduate. Thank God, I'm done with sch now.

My current challenge now is my mum is in her mid forties and wants to remarry to a man in the village. She hasn't told me yet. But my paternal aunt called to inform me. I'm really worried because if she gets remarried, she will abandon my younger siblings who are there with her because she won't be allowed to take my siblings to her new husband's house as it is an abomination based on the customs and traditions of our place. If my siblings must live with her in that place, then they will have to start bearing the new husband's name as his children. Why ?

Also, as a male child, I'm not allowed to go visit here and eat or sleep over in her new house. If I do this, I might die. Why is this?

Based on reports, my grandfather(mum's dad) is the one mounting pressure on my mum to get married. I'm really worried about the whole situation because the ties between my mum and my siblings are about to be severed. Since my dad died, my mum has been living in her father's house instead of my dad's place. Though both places aren't far from each other. Its trekkable. I feel really hurt and betrayed, I can't even imagine my mum in the arms of another man. If I was stable in monetary and economic terms, I would have taken her out of that dungeon to come live with me, and also bring siblings along. I'm really pained as I type. Tears.. my dad died at age 47.

I wish u guys can beg my mum not to remarry please. What's the difference between me and someone from a Broken background?
Life is not fair to me and my siblings. Not fair at all. I know how I'm feeling right now.

Let me make it clear at this point that if her plans of remarrying goes through, I will dis-mother her. I'll cut all ties and destroy every bond that ever existed between herself and us the children.

I remember many years ago when I saw a pistol in a flower vase in a school compound. I simply picked it, wrapped it in a polythene bag with a huge stone and threw it into a stream. That was about 25 years ago 🤓
