1Sharon:
It's obvious. Their relationship was just superficial. Well, if he's not acknowledging his son, why should Linda give him his surname, when she's the sole caregiver? If he wants to be a deadbeat, he can do that. But he's not entitled to pass on his name.

Indeed... But in all these circumstances, these two should remember that an impressionable child is involved here. No matter how upset a man feels about his wife (who he is about to di orce) or baby mama, he should NEVER punish his child or starve that child of fatherly love because the child would definitely ignore his/her father's needs and wants when they become aged (over 70 years) and they even transfer that aggression to their own biological kid's as well when they get married. The whole story just reinforces the need in everyone that thoughts are things and also to live in near-absolute harmony with one another.

By the way, I found the original link of Linda's expose on Sholaye on her blog. It's right below:

raskymonojendor:
But did the report lie about Jaja Nwachukwu and the eastern deligates?

That simply tells you that no matter what difference the Yorubas have in between themselves, they still have a common enemy which is the Ibos.

Succinctly stated.

You did very well to bring up that screenshot of the Eastern Region politicians I 1950 and 1953 who were referring to Lagos Island (NOT Lagos State) as a no-man's-land. But today, you'll see some of them who are very narcissistic taunting the entire Lagos State as a no-man's-land because they don't even know their history how much more the history of others.

UncleAyo:
You said "Lagos State happens to be unlucky or unfortunate to be found in Yoruba axis"? (This statement is highly infuriating.)

You people are primitive and lack common sense with no iota of civility (total unscrupulous). You say stuffs thinking other are as unintelligent as your group are.

Your covetousness and greed for Lagos and envy against the Yoruba are already noted. I would be worried if your hatred is only towards the Yorubas alone, but your group are known all over the world.

History has not favor your group. Your leaders have no foresight to develop your region; even you the youths we are begging today not to destroy your region have no foresight to understand that actions have consequence, and that the consequence of allowing IPOB terrorist in your region is that you will not have a viable city, investments and business thriving in your region.

Are your young people and leaders not fleeing your region everyday, rushing to live in the same Yoruba land that you continually berate? You should be ashamed of yourself.

You're only destroying any future opportunities that may be remaining for your group in Yorubaland.

The Thai Police in the video below said it all. Jump and start playing the videos from 4:55:00 to better understand.

I dislike to make a comment like this but I just have to do it....

Your response to that guy's highly irresponsible and overbearing comment is in order. He doesn't even know the history of how Lagos State came to be on May 27, 1967 and how more than 95 percent of today's Lagos State landmass was located in the Old Western Region. Even some younger Yorubas don't read functional books to know these facts of history but are usually glad though to hear or read them when told offline or online by those of us who know these facts. Things get said when they should be said. There's absolutely NO need to be politically correct about that.

What the highly ignorant creep you replied to doesn't realize is that the Ikeja, Iganmu, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki Badagry, Ojo, Mushin, Agege LGAs... practically more than 95 percent of the TOTAL landmass of today's Lagos State (which only came into existence on May 27, 1967, as an act of state creation by General Yakubu Gowon's military goverment) were all developed under the Western Region government of the Action Group Party led by the iconic London School of Economics and Political Science-trained lawyer, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, and his party associates. Awolowo established several Industrial Estates in areas in the Western Region which served as major manufacturing and export hubs for that region through Apapa port. The Western House on Lagos Island and Cocoa House in Ibadan skyscrapers, the first of their kind in Nigeria were also built as part of the Old Western Region's real estates. This is why when Lagos State was created, there was a protest by the government of the new Western State (it was also carved out like Lagos State from the Old Western Region on May 27, 1967) that all the major industrial hubs and lands of the Old Western Region that brought in massive revenue for the Western Region in Ikeja, Apapa, Iganmu, Ilupeju, Mushin had been carved out into the newly created Lagos State.

It was these 12 newly created states that the secessionist rebel leader rejected and he declared secession on May 30, 1967 without even conducting a referendum. This is why the minorities of the Old Eastern Region fiercely rejected the secession and many joined the Nigerian Army to resist the secessionist rebels because they were satisfied with the 2 newly created states for them which are now the 4 states of Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River. Chief Harold Dappa-Biriye of Bonny Island and Dr. Ken Saro-Wiwa of Ogoniland in several of their books and interviews that I have read since the early 1990s said they were the ones who led the ethnic minorities to several meetings from 1966 to 1967 with General Yakubu Gowon urging the creation of states to assuage the marginalization of the minorities. Gowon's military goverment did just that on May 27, 1967, so they were happy.

MightySparrow:
Nothing will happen. I have been living in Lagos for more than four decades, I have never seen any meaningful things being claimed by any Indigenes' of Lagos. Where are they? Who dem be? Politically, there are not there.

Jakande from Kwara
Tinubu from Osun
Fashola from Ekiti
Ambode from Lagos?
Sanwo - Olu from Ogun?

These clowns are just joking.
Tinubu is the landlord of Lagos.
Bode George that threatened relocation if Tinubu wọn election is still there in Lagos.

You are largely correct here, but Governor Sanwo-Olu father's is from the Ijebu part of Ogun State but that shouldn't matter because Ijebus are ALSO indigenous to Lagos State with a little over half of Lagos State's landmass being Ijebuland (Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, Ikorodu and Epe LGAs are Ijebuland extending to Ogun State as seen on maps) and Sanwo-Olu's maternal roots is originally from Lagos State. President Bola Tinubu was born on Lagos Island just like Alhaji Abdulaleef Jakande, so he being an adopted son of the international business woman and former Iya Oloja General of Lagos, Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji is overqualified to have been the Governor of Lagos State. Akinwunmi Ambode is paternally from Ilajeland in Ondo State but more on that later.

Second, Alhaji Abdulaleef Jakande's parents are ORIGINALLY from the Yoruba town of Omu Aran in Kwara State but he was born on Lagos Island. The indigenous folks of Lagos Island loved him and the icing on the cake was when the London School of Economics and Political Science-trained lawyer, Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, and iconic national leader of the Unity Party of Nigeria lifted Jakande's hand to endorse him and Alhaji Jafojo a Lagos State indigene as the Lagos State Governor and Deputy-Governor candidates in the lead up to the 1979 elections which they both won with a landslide victory.

Third, Former Governor Akinyanmi Ambode's career teacher/academic father is originally a Prince from a Royal family in Ilajeland of Ondo State but he was transferred in the days of the Old Western Region to Epe as a teacher. Epe was also part of the Old Western Region before May 27, 1967. It was in Epe that the brilliant Akinwunmi Ambode was born. He even wrote Ondo State as his state of origin on his JAMB form in 1981 and there are threads posted on NL showing this fact of history. When Akinwunmi Ambode's father passed on, his remains were returned to Ilajeland because he is an Omo Oba or Prince of his Yoruba kingdom in Ilajeland.

I believe that henceforth, all political parties must field Ijebus, Aworis, and Ogus who are indigenes of Lagos State as Gubernatorial candidates although these 3 subgroups are also indigenous to Ogun State because it is MAJORLY the ancestral homelands of the Ijebus and Aworis that were carved out of the Western Region on May 27, 1967 to create the new Lagos State by General Yakubu Gowon's military goverment after due consultations with the traditional rulers and indigenes, although there were protests by the new Governor of the newly created Western State and other prominent folks that the major industrial areas and lands of the Old Western Region that brought in massive revenue for the Western Region such as Apapa, Iganmu, Ilupeju and Ikeja, etc, had being carved out to form the new Lagos State.

Any Yoruba technocrat or politician from other Yoruba-speaking states (from Kogi, Kwara, Osun, Oyo, Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun, and Edo because Usen and Egbeta are indigenous Yoruba communities in Edo from Ile Ife which they proudly haven't denied) who was born in Lagos State and has lived there since childhood can then become a Deputy-Governor of Lagos State under any party. It's only fair that that is done to give the indigenes a sense of belonging.

Mindlog:
I am Igbo and very comfortable with that culture, If marriage is not in the card. My community practices same.

Did you know, Davido had to traditionally marry Chioma before their son could be buried as an Adeleke because the boy was customarily an Ejiofor, belonged to Chioma's family as the time of death?

If a man intends being a baby daddy, it is wiser to restrict getting a woman within his tribe or tribes that aligns with his when it comes to procreation outside marriage.

That's an insightful feedback.

An Ejiofor... Is this practice a general one in all core Ibo states and communities? I ask you this question because I know right from several years back that even a girl getting pregnant outside marriage is vehemently frowned upon by Ibo families and elders, and a few Ibo and non-Ibo social commentators have said this is a major part of what is fueling the so-called "baby factory" menace leading to especially pregnant Ibo girls giving birth and then selling the babies for adoption or whatever the baby selling cartel wants to use them for. Genevieve was 16 years when she got pregnant and raised her girl though because she has enlightened parents who of course would have been dissapointed at her as of that period.

Second, before David Adeleke (His paternal grandmother is incidentally from Akwete in Abia. I remember full well that she passed on in 2009 because I saw the Obituary publication in 2009 and Akwete was written as her ancestral home) got married to Chioma from Imo State, I'm aware that his first son was bearing the Adeleke surname. He was widely known as Ifeanyi Adeleke even though he has a Yoruba first name. I've seen a few other kid's of this kind of inter-ethnic relationships that did NOT lead to marriages who bear their fathers' family names on official documents and in real life.

In any event, as long as a child isn't abondoned for being born out of wedlock, it's not a bad idea for a young woman and her family to raise a child if the alleged father is NOT financially able OR deliberately stays away (which is the MOST unkind thing to do).

I've seen where with love and moral support from a young woman and her relatives, a child born out of marriage is able to grow up to make a significant impact out of meaning out of life. However, kid's without that group support from their parents and extended family move through life based on punishing trials and errors while running into major turning points that could turn out positive or negative.

Lol. I actually don't believe he did any of this. This is just Linda trying to make a situation seem prettier than it is. These are all Linda's words. He still hasn't said anything and there aren't leaks or stories that back up what's she's saying. It's obvious a baby was her first priority with him and she's gotten it.

If she was intentful about her relationship with him, she should have made him claim her, court and marry her properly before getting pregnant.

I still insist, he isn't [not] owed the right to pass on his surname if he has washed his off hands of his son. It's justified for the boy to bear a name of people that claim and Iove him.

Sholaye Jeremi just lost his 74-year-old mother in the month of May 2024.

He has a lot on his hands now with this family name drama from coming from Linda's end. I wonder if Sholaye's mother ever met the little boy before she passed on.

Read more BELOW:
=>https://guardian.ng/issue/oil-magnate-sholaye-jeremi-loses-mother/

I did read online from a mainstream media source where Sholaye through his media aide denied all the negative news and fake social media posts about his relationship with Linda and he stated that he has nothing to do with her while debunking the rumor that he owns an Instagram handle in the Weblink right below.

=>https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/09/28/linda-ikejis-alleged-significant-other-speaks-out/

In any event, reading her sob story in te second of two Weblink I provided in my last post to you on this thread, I absolutely think she deliberately got pregnant, and now that things didn't pan out for her in terms of marriage to Sholaye, she's been taking subtle jabs at him with her son bearing her family name.

But as things stand from what I have gathered before today, in Ibo culture, if you get one of their girls pregnant and you don't get married to her, then the child belongs to the girl's family until you pay the bride price and get married to her. That CULTURAL clash is on another level entirely tbh. Lol.

Politics › Re: Reno Omokri On The Culture Of Cutting Of Yam To Sell In Nigeria by Konquest: 8:55am On Jun 07, 2024

Racoon:
Please assume I am lying and fact-check me: This photo was taken on Saturday, April 6, 2024, at Upton Park market in London by Ola Ajai, a female Briton of Nigerian descent, who is also a faculty member at Plymouth University.

You can see the tubers of yam cut into two and sometimes even three or four. Why? Because yams are expensive, both in Nigeria, Ghana, and Europe. It is not everyone who can afford a whole tuber at once.

Also, it is sometimes done to show that the yam is not rotten inside. In the past, many people buy tubers of yam, take them home and find that they are rotten and inedible inside, though they look fine on the outside. As a result, some traders will cut open the yams to show they are in good condition.

Do not allow Emergency Lovers of Nigeria, who still harbour a grudge over the results of the #NigerianElections2023, to gaslight you into believing that things are suddenly bad in Nigeria because people cut yams for sale for various reasons.

This is not a new practice; and it even happened before I was born and will still occur after we leave this planet. That is why Yeshua (Jesus) said: "The poor you will always have with you."-Matthew 26:11.

@renoomokri

For those who are discerning readers in the midst of the attack on Reno... There are two folks other folks in that screenshot who actually alluded to the FACT that yams are cut in some places in Nigeria. The fact that some like to buy whole yams doesn't mean that some folks haven't been buying cut yams from time.

I remember that I have a magazine in my archives from the late 1970s showing a popular London market where African food items were being soldvby a White man and a Nigerian lady living in London as a student in the picture was negotiating with the White Englishman on the purchase of African foods that included CUT YAMS. All the imported food items had fixed prices attached to them. If I can lay my hands on the physical hard copy of that magazine, I'll scan it and upload it online. So, Reno is actually right about yams being cut and sold in pieces in London and elsewhere.

It is not new generation mentality but cultural. Where she comes from, an unmarried woman's child bears her family's name and no stigma attached to it by the community.

That's interesting but also an awkward and strange part of the Ibo culture at the same time. In multicultural settings where most global societies are patriarchal, a child born from a multiethnic parentage should logically bear the father's family name.

We have a clash of cultures here where the young lady who is now aged 44 has given her now 6-year-old son her own family name while the real father is still alive living in the same vicinity with them right on Ikoyi Island, in Lagos.

Most of the things you're saying are figments of your imaginations.

Give us a link where d said Sholawetin visited Linda's parents.

If he as little as does that,there's no way the child's will be named the maternal family's name.

No grandfather wants to have such a situation in his hands.
As little as "na me pregnant am oo,but I no wan marry her" is enough.
Then even if its 2k,send once in a while.
But if u deny responsibility for the pregnancy and don't pay upkeep,will they force you?

I've just logged in and saw this mention but I originally didn't want to reply you before NOW because your unwise comments in the first two paragraphs of your post are insulting! Is it too difficult for young people like you to read and assimilate other people's views without being impulsive? Do I sound like a man who spins things out of "figments of his imagination" like you unwisely posted here? It's ONLY to prevent other NL readers from being misinformed by your post in the first two paragraphs that I'm making a reply to this.

Second, I CLEARLY gave "2 Weblinks" in my FIRST post to 1Sharon on this thread which you also quoted above on this same thread page but it's very obvious YOU didn't click and read them properly otherwise you wouldn't have incorrectly made those irritating comments in the first two paragraphs of your post.

The second Weblink has a full EXPOSE by the young lady (Linda) who said Sholaye Jeremi actually came to see her PARENTS and was cool with her father. It's all in the 8th paragraph of that 2nd Weblink I gave out.

I'm gonna quote excerpts of it BELOW in bold and you can go back to that second Weblink again and READ the full sob story by Linda.

"Around when I was about three months pregnant, he did come to see my parents and actually became very cool with my dad. They were literally exchanging Whatsapp messages every day. He later agreed to a traditional wedding which he didn’t follow through and then he switched. He began to treat me with so much hate and aggression that I and my family had to cut him off completely."

1Sharon:
Hey, you good?

So it's this man? I thought it was dismissed as a rumour.

People even faked social media accounts of him, he had to even come out and say he wasn't even on social media. Yes he's rich allegedly, but that doesn't mean he has taking care of his son. Being a deadbeat, has nothing to do with money.

Has he publicly claimed the boy, have they even been sighted together? Has he dismissed Linda's allegation?

@1Sharon, I'm doing great right here.

He sure is... NOT a false rumor. Sholaye is the subject matter here... lol.

Just a quick note: Typically the social media is filled with a lot of vile trolls and fake accounts created to fleece you of your money... Especially the elderly folks who not knowing the security implications of cyberspace just get carried away by pressing all kinds of Weblinks and visiting all kinds of secure and unsecure Websites on their mobile devices.
Once you become a public figure, expect to have several fake or cloned social media accounts even if you don't use social media... it's really a bad situation. I remember full well that the 1986 Nobel laureate winner, Professor Wole Soyinka, the former President Obasanjo, and several prominent folks worldwide have had fake Facebook, Twitter (now X), IG accounts and more created for them and these FIRST two men I mentioned are NOT even on the X social media platform according to the public alerts they sent out few years back!

Indeed, I typically refer to someone as a "deadbeat" for being LAZY because they try to avoid paying their debts. Deadbeat dads who don't pay child support because they are just LAZY to get a job or set up a business enterprise.

So, yes you made a valid point there about a "deadbeat" being not necessarily about the absence of riches, but a "deliberate neglect" of a child.

Aha! Sholaye initially accepted the boy in private and he visited Linda's parents which Linda also confirmed on her blog post, but his grouse was with Linda who allegedly was giving out some specifics to her followers in the public domain about their most intimate lives starting from when they first met in 2015 at a luxury hotel called Wheatbaker on Ikoyi Island in Lagos State. Linda also was aged 35 and Sholaye was 37 when they FIRST met. As of that time, she was getting worried that age wasn't on her side and I can say without a shadow of doubt that because of the maternal instinct, she deliberately got pregnant because time was ticking while she was headed for the "dreaded" 40 years of age and beyond. Some of those actions and inactions ticked Sholaye off and he began to distance himself emotionally from her.

I absolutely AGREE with your summations in your last paragraph that Sholaye has to make amends and "publicity" identify more with his son who is now 6 years old as of 2024. If he doesn't do that, the boy will get set in his ways and thinking and begin to RESENT his father. Sholaye is actually an easygoing guy, BUT he felt that by getting pregnant, Linda was moving too fast down the marriage route without that emotional connection OR attraction between both of them. As it turns out, both he and Linda (who is now 44) were NOT meant to be married. Linda especially has to EMBRACE the situation and NOT seek to poison the son's mind towards the father further after she went ahead to give the boy her own family name, which is a "strange" thing to do in a multicultural world and a ridiculous attempt to spite Sholaye. I expect both of them to revert the little boy's surname to his father's surname ASAP.

I wouldn't even mind if my woman keeps her maiden name (surname) after getting married for professional reasons OR uses a compound surname (her's and mine), but there's something MOST men won't negotiate away... and that is having their biological children bear their family surnames.

You take care.

Ciao. wink

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the African National Congress (ANC) has recommended the formation of a government of national unity.

This decision is set to be announced at an ANC press conference on Wednesday and comes as the ANC seeks to address the aftermath of their dismal election performance where the party lost its majority by a significant margin.

According to sources within the NWC, the ANC is set to collaborate with leading political parties, including the Democratic Alliance (DA), Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP), and the Patriotic Alliance (PA) to form a government of national unity.

So, a bro from Fresh n' Fit hit the bull's eye with an Escort?... *Smirk*

Sholaye Jeremi (the biological father of her son) ain't NO deadbeat. Sholaye is a financially loaded dude who is a close friend and business associate of the Forbes-listed billionaire, Femi Otedola and more.

Sholaye is of Itsekiri descent in Delta State (Itsekiris are a subgroup of the Yoruba folks with some Bini royal family immigration in the ancestral mix from the year 1488). Itsekiris and most African and global cultures are patriarchal, therefore children are supposed to use their fathers' family names on birth, school, and travel documents. Linda has absolutely NO right to use her own family name for her son despite the FACT that the relationship did not lead to marriage.

ADSP116:
We have other 90s R&B groups that were almost better and active than Boys 2 men,pls go and do thread about Jodeci which later metharmophosed into KC and Jojo,they were probably the most underrated R&B group of the 90's, the only group that was capable of making each of their track a hit from time to time.

Succinctly put, "Tell Me It's Real" and "All My Life" are two of my favorite K-Ci and JoJo tracks... Those songs are real blasts from the 1990s for me despite being majorly a lover of all genres of hit songs from the 1970s right through to the 1980s.

My favourite track of these guys; "Water Runs Dry."

Indeed, "Water Runs Dry" is one my top 5 tracks from Boys II Men.

Sports › Re: Leo Messi Has Launched His Own Hydration Drink Called Mas+ by Konquest: 1:04am On Jun 05, 2024

Almiron:
"I wanted a drink that had the ingredients I need and amazing flavor. No compromise on quality ingredients. So I went to work on a drink of my own
To achieve my goals, I learned that hydration plays a very important role. I have always had in mind to improve. I've always been about improvement, and wanted to find a drink with both amazing taste and the right ingredients." - Messi

But many drinks that are good for you taste bad. Many flavored drinks have high levels of unhealthy ingredients, so people who drink them consume more sugar, calories, artificial ingredients, and even caffeine than they realize. You shouldn’t have to choose between better ingredients and better taste." -Messi

"Más+ is a drink I have wanted for a long time, one I want to share with my family, friends, and the next generation. I believe everyone, not just elite athletes, deserves Positive Hydration: amazing taste, with natural flavors, no artificial sweeteners or colors. No caffeine. No compromise on quality ingredients. Más+ was created to inspire everyone to enjoy more music, laughter, friends, family, to get more out of life." - Messi

"That’s why I named it Más+. It means “more” in Spanish. The + stands for even more positivity. Because in every part of my life, I always think and act positively."- Messi

"I wanted a drink to inspire everyone to feel like a champion in every part of life." - Messi

"To achieve my goals, I first had to learn the importance of health and hydration, I spent time searching but I just couldn’t find one with both amazing taste and the right ingredients. So I went to work on a drink of my own. One with more of the flavors I love and a balanced blend of electrolytes, a drink I feel is better for my family and friends."- Messi

The flavours are:

- Orange d'Or
- Miami Punch
- Berry Copa Crush
- Limón Lime League

Sometimes ita better to put the location of where this prices exist.
A friend of mine asked inquired from a lady in Kwale-Delta State just some days ago and was told #2800 if he were to buy more than 2 custard rubbers but #3000 for just one custard measurement.

The OP is Ibo and lives in Aba based on his past posts I have read. It's pretty obvious that these high prices are subjectively fixed based on the greed glands of wholesalers and retailers in the major urban areas.

However, areas outside the major urban areas have cheaper prices of commodities and other items. The governments at all levels have to find ways of regulating these arbitrary prices and set up whistleblower phone lines to report any person that sells above standard retail prices while working in conjunction with market unions in each state of Nigeria.

It is well.
The way prices of foodstuffs are soaring is alarming.
On the average, N10,000 is not sufficient to feed a family of 5 three times daily anymore.
A modu of beans is now N2,500.
Price of a modu of rice is not jumping up and down.
Yam is now N3,000 per tuber.
Common pepper is being counted and sold 4 for N200.
A bunch of plantain is no go area.
Not foodstuff is cheap anymore.
I pity family that have up to 6 children.
This is not time for couples to have more than 3 children o.

Tinubu should open borders and flood the market with foodstuff from neighbouring countries.
Make Nigerians no come die of hunger.

Interesting submissions.

Have you tried sawdust? It's free from the sawmill or 50 Naira per garawa depending on the wood quality.

Alternatively, grow your own cassava and make your own gari.

I like your sawdust sarcasm... Succinctly stated.

Elubo. Elubo is around 1800 per paint whilesale price at my base

If not that Nigerians are not research minded, 200,000 Naira invested into cassava farming can provide a family of 5-8 with Garri, fufu and the likes for at least 4-7 months of daily consumption

Oh men! One soldier down.

I still have their music tracks among several classics from back in the 1980s and early 1990s on rotation. Controversial and raunchy songs they had but that was what propelled them into global prominence and that was how I got to know of 2 Live Crew and their censored and uncensored songs in the late 1980s heading into the early 1990s. Color Me Badd was another music group that had a few controversies back in the very early 1990s in their music tracks but that was small compared to that of the 2 Live Crew.
