I just lost my father yesterday afternoon.

The person that made me an Ijaw man .
He spent his last cash so that I will go to university and in his last days I helped him back.
Later this morning, my daddy would be lowered to mother earth.

He say I should do my best to make sure he die while living in his own land.


I did that and the last word my father told me some hours before he died was thank you my son for everything..


The first cement I bought in my life wasn't to build a house for myself, it was build house for papa.
And he appreciated it till his last minute on earth.


I'm crying infact for the loss.
I spent so much money to save his life.😭😭😭

Ogun State Acquires Bombardier CRJ 900 for Gateway Air

The Ogun State Government has allegedly acquired a Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft to operate under its new airline label, Gateway Air. The jet, which can seat up to 90 passengers in single, dual, or triple class configurations, marks a significant step in the state’s aviation plans.

A brand-new CRJ 900 is valued at about $40 million, while used models range between $10–15 million, depending on age and condition. Older, third-hand versions can cost between $3–8 million.

Interestingly, the jet parked beside the Gateway Air aircraft is also a CRJ 900. It also allegedly belongs to Ogun-born billionaire Kunle Soname, Chairman of ValueJet, who recently acquired it for his own aviation business.

FamilyRe: Lawyer, Can A Father Lawfully Get Custody Of A Child Born Out Of Wedlock? by kaltonga: 11:29am On Aug 28, 2025
TenQ:
No sir.

The Father can only gain custody of his child iff
1. He can prove a case of mental instability in the mother of his child
2. He can prove a case of Gross financial incapability of the mother of his child
3. He can prove a case of unstable Residence of the mother of his child
4. He can prove a case of Drug use leading to reckless behaviour of the mother of his child
5. He can prove a case of dangerous behaviours of the mother of his child

Except for any reason, the Mother of the Child want the Father to be the Primary Caregiver to the Child!

Otherwise, he will continue to share parenthood while the mother retains the status of the primary caregiver until the child is 18 years old.

If you cant prove any of the above, lawyers will just use you to cashout!

LawWithEbele:
Lawyer, can a father get custody of a child born out of wedlock?

So many men are caught up in this web.
They meet a woman casually. Nothing serious. Suddenly, pregnancy.

Emeka was not ready for marriage. She bore the burden alone and delivered the baby out of wedlock.

Now, Emeka wants to be the best father he can be. But then came the unthinkable.
The community says: “A child born out of wedlock belongs to the mother’s family.”

Is this lawful?
The answer is No. Such customs are repugnant to natural justice, equity, and good conscience.

The Court of Appeal made this clear in Muojekwu v. Ejikeme (2000) 5 NWLR (Pt. 657) 402. In that case, TOBI, J.C.A. held:

“Why should a custom deny the biological father of his children? A custom which denies the natural or biological father of his child is repugnant to natural justice.”

The truth is clear. A child born out of wedlock does not cease to be the child of his or her father. Nigerian courts have repeatedly affirmed that fathers also have rights and duties towards such children. Custody is not automatic to the mother or her family. The paramount consideration is the welfare of the child.

If a father can prove that he is responsible, capable, and that custody is in the best interest of the child, the court can grant him custody or access rights, whether or not he was married to the child’s mother.

The lesson is simple: being unmarried does not strip a father of his parental rights.

I am Ebelechukwu Aroh-Nwoka, Esq., the Nigerian family and property lawyer. I help you protect what you cannot afford to lose, your land, your legacy, and your family.

For further information or inquiry, send a DM.

#arohnwokaebelechukwu #ebelechukwulawfirm #familylawnigeria
#childcustody
The custody of a child depends on firstly the tradition stipulation, I use the word tradition cos every law is a product of a peoples customer and tradition that's why we have the customary courts.
Now the Igbo tradition does not recognize an illegitimate child, until the full rights is been done..Again, of am legally married to a woman and you pregnant her the tradition says that child belongs to me except I reject the child..Now, if you impregnate my daughter or my sister and refused to take responsibility, that child will be mine or ours in the family and can only be yours after you come with your kinsmen with drinks for apologies and you carry out the traditional stipulation not necessarily mean you are marrying her but you just do the traditional right for you to have a lawful custody of the child.

This law does not apply to we Igbo alone cos I was oppurtuned to be involved in a similar matter in Abuja with the Tivs in Venue that also have similar practice, my village guy impregnated a Tiv lady and latter desire custody of the son, the Tiv people came with a long list of demands at which we finally did before having the child..But we were able to earn some reduction in the list cos that my kinsman has been taking responsibility from the year the child was born to his eight year if age which they are witnesses and the lady confirmed.

PoliticsRe: I Asked AI What Year Brown Roofs Will End In Nigeria. It's Response. by kaltonga: 2:45pm On Aug 18, 2025
Quintessence44:
I asked AI

''When do you estimate Nigeria will be rid of its colonial era rusty brown roof houses in cities like Ibadan, Abeokuta etc. Give me a realistic year.''

https://img.freepik.com/premium-photo/black-robot-with-shiny-head-black-helmet_783884-234535.jpg


AI Response (ChatGPT):

It’s tough to predict an exact year when all colonial-era rusty‑roof houses—those iconic brown and rusted roofs—in Nigerian cities like Ibadan and Abeokuta will be entirely replaced. This will depend on factors including economic development, urban renewal policies, housing investment, and residents’ capacities. But based on current efforts and past trends, a realistic estimate would be:

2035 to 2050


Why this timeframe makes sense:

1. Nigeria’s housing deficit is massive

The country needs to build around 550,000 new homes annually to keep pace with population growth and urban demand

The federal government under the Tinubu administration has started programs like the Renewed Hope Social Housing Estates—planning to build 77,400 homes across 774 local government areas, along with slum upgrades and improved infrastructure


2. Replacing colonial-era roofs is not instant

These brown, rust‑prone roofs date back to materials introduced during the colonial era—often asbestos‑cement sheets—have remained prevalent for decades

Slum upgrading is challenging: it involves not just replacing roofs, but also improving land tenure, infrastructure, services, and economic conditions of residents.


3. Long-term infrastructure and housing transformation takes time

Public housing efforts are ongoing, but need scaling up significantly. With annual targets unmet in the past, it's plausible that large-scale renovation or redevelopment programs may take 10–25 years or more to fully reach informal and colonial-era areas citywide.

Summary estimate

Timeline: What's realistically achievable?

By 2035 Significant improvement: many colonial-era roofs replaced in wealthier areas; new public housing underway; meaningfully reduced—but not eliminated—rust-roof prevalence.

By 2050 Near-complete transformation: most cities have phased out colonial-era roofing in formal and many informal areas; substantial progress made in upgrading or redeveloping older housing stock.


Final Thought

Assuming continued policy focus, adequate funding, and cooperation between federal, state, and local governments, setting a realistic target of around 2040–2045 for near-complete transition away from those colonial-era rusty roofs seems plausible.

However, it's important to bear in mind that:

Socioeconomic disparities in informal settlements may slow progress there.

Budget constraints and shifting political priorities can delay or accelerate outcomes.

Private housing market dynamics—with individuals upgrading at different rates—also play a role.

.......................................



You said:

Give me an outlook at year 2100.

ChatGPT said:

By the year 2100, Nigeria’s housing landscape—including in historic cities like Ibadan, Abeokuta, and others—will almost certainly look radically different from today. Here’s a realistic Afro-futurist yet grounded outlook:

🏠 Housing Outlook for Nigeria by 2100

1. Colonial-era rusty roof houses

They will be virtually extinct as lived-in dwellings.

Many will either have been:

Replaced by modern concrete, glass, and sustainable-material housing.

Preserved as heritage monuments, much like old medieval towns in Europe, for cultural tourism and architectural history.

By 2100, it would be unusual to see an un-renovated rusty roof home still standing outside a museum or protected historical district.


2. Urban transformation

Cities like Ibadan and Abeokuta will no longer be defined by sprawling rusty roof neighborhoods.

Instead, expect:

Skyline growth: vertical expansion, eco-friendly skyscrapers, and mixed-use mega-structures.

Smart housing systems: AI-managed estates, energy-self-sufficient homes powered by solar, bioenergy, or quantum energy tech.

Urban redesign: redevelopment of colonial districts into modern city cores, integrated with green corridors, waterways, and transport hubs.


3. Population & housing demand

Nigeria’s population is projected to exceed 600 million by 2100 (UN estimates), making it one of the most populous nations on Earth.

The housing sector will need to be one of the largest industries in Africa to accommodate this, with:

Massive housing cooperatives and estate development systems.

Advanced construction tech (3D printing of homes, modular housing, AI-designed communities).

Reduced slums, since urban upgrading will have been underway for over a century, though informal settlements may persist in pockets.


4. Cultural integration

Some colonial-style neighborhoods will survive as tourist attractions, similar to how Brazil preserves Portuguese-era towns, or how Ghana preserves Cape Coast and Elmina castles.

Instead of symbols of poverty, rusty roof areas could be revamped with cultural centers, Afrocentric museums, and creative districts.

Nigeria may brand these zones as part of its national heritage, turning the old “rust” into “gold” for cultural tourism.


5. Global context

By 2100, Nigeria will likely be a top 10 world economy, with Lagos, Ibadan, and Abuja rivaling global megacities.

International firms and African tech giants may fund mass housing renewal, making the concept of colonial-era roofs a symbol of the past, much like horse-drawn carriages in modern London.


🎯 Final Outlook for 2100

Colonial rusty roof houses? → Gone as homes, preserved only as heritage districts or museums.

Urban Ibadan, Abeokuta, Lagos? → Transformed into modern, smart, and vertical cities with eco-tech housing.

Nigeria’s housing identity? → Defined by Afro-modern architecture, blending traditional Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo aesthetics with futuristic design.

✨ By 2100, what people today see as “poverty architecture” will have flipped into heritage pride. Tourists may visit Ibadan not to see endless rusty roofs, but to walk through a carefully preserved “Rust District” the way visitors explore Venice or Marrakech.

These four legendary Nigerian musicians Ayinla Omowura, Haruna Ishola, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, and Sikiru Ayinde Barrister are unique because each of them pioneered and popularized different indigenous music genres that became cultural pillars in Nigeria and beyond.

Here is what makes them special in music industry

1. Ayinla Omowura – King of Apala music

Known as the most influential Apala musician. His music addressed social, political, and cultural issues. His style blended traditional Yoruba percussion with deep philosophical messages.

2. Haruna Ishola – King of Apala/Fuji precursor (Were music)

One of the earliest and most successful Apala musicians. Famous for his spiritually rooted and poetic Yoruba lyrics. He gave Apala an identity and helped it spread internationally.

3. Fela Anikulapo Kuti – Pioneer of Afrobeat

International icon and activist. Fused traditional Yoruba rhythms, jazz, highlife, and funk. Used his music to challenge political corruption and oppression in Nigeria. Afrobeat later became a global sound, influencing today’s Afrobeats.

4. Sikiru Ayinde Barrister – Pioneer of Fuji music

Transformed Were music (Islamic wake-up songs during Ramadan) into Fuji, a major Yoruba genre. Modernized Yoruba percussion with dynamic rhythms and storytelling. Regarded as the father of Fuji music, inspiring later stars like Wasiu Ayinde and Pasuma.

All four artists are cultural revolutionaries who used indigenous Yoruba musical styles to create new genres or elevate existing ones. They are considered founding fathers of Nigerian traditional/modern music, laying the foundation for today’s Afrobeat, Fuji, and Apala sounds.

So, Which of them is your favorite and why?

PoliticsRe: Yoruba Elder Blasts Igbos: You Must Change Your Ways To Earn Nigeria’s Trust To by kaltonga: 3:18pm On Aug 15, 2025
Itaekuson3:
YORUBA ELDER BLASTS IGBOS: YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR WAYS TO EARN NIGERIA’S TRUST TO RULE, OR FORGET IT!

In this video, we’re diving into a viral statement that’s shaking the Nigerian internet — a Yoruba elder has unleashed a fiery blast at the Igbos, and his words have sparked serious debate across the country.

It all started with a controversial bill at the Senate — one that seeks to establish the National Traditional Rulers Council of Nigeria. The bill has already passed its second reading, but it’s now attracting heated reactions.

First came the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, claiming the Igbos were marginalised and excluded. Then the Concerned Hausa Stakeholders spoke out too — insisting the Sultan of Sokoto is only a spiritual head, not the traditional head of the North. But the Yoruba elder? He took this conversation in a direction nobody expected.

He reminded Nigerians of the deep historical background — from the Fulani conquest of the old Habe dynasty, to the creation of warrant chiefs in the East in 1929, and the formation of the House of Chiefs in the North and West. He argued that the East never had a centralised traditional institution like the North and West — and because of that, they can’t demand to lead the new council if it’s created.

But that wasn’t the most explosive part. The elder went on to accuse Igbos of forgetting their history and holding on to territorial ambitions “flowing in their blood since 1922.” He questioned why Igbos claim indigeneship in Lagos, and even linked attacks on Igbos in Ghana and South Africa to this alleged ambition.

He didn’t stop there — he pointed at the Biafra agitations led by Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, accusing Igbo elders of keeping silent instead of condemning it. And then came the line that has everyone talking — according to him, if the Igbos want to be truly integrated into the Nigerian project, to gain the trust and confidence of other ethnic groups, and to one day have the authority to rule this country — they must purge themselves of their intransigence… or forget it.

Guys, I’ll let you watch this video for yourself so you can see exactly what I’m talking about. Also don't forget to like, share and subscribe to this channel if you haven't already done so. Take a look guys, and remember to share your thoughts after watching.
