“It has come to the notice of the Benin Traditional Council (BTC) that an individual claiming to be known as ‘His Royal Highness Alh. Adamu Isah Adamu’ and who describes himself as ‘Sarkin Hausawa’ plans to perform a Turbaning ceremony in which one “Alh. Danjuma Garba Binkola” will be installed as “Garkuwan Hausawa Benin” on Sunday 5th May, 2024 at No. 7 Butcher Street, Off Mission Road, Benin City.
YourKarma: You mean the same Boy Boy system which the former governor of Ekiti State asked your people to go and learn from the Igbos?
Let me chip this in these facts into the convo you are having.
Your post is very misleading.
The garrulous former Governor Ayo Fayose (as reported in a few newspapers such as the Sun and Vanguard at that time) was NOT speaking to all Yorubas in general to go and become an apprentices in Aba, but he was only giving a suggestion about how to get some vibrant Ekiti youths engaged in skills by sending them to Aba to learn how to make bags and shoes instead of sending them abroad to the UK or U.S. to learn skills. He was ONLY giving his opinion and referring to upgrading the existing skills of the youths of his state and the advice was NOT for all Yoruba youths to go and become apprentices in Aba.
Like other folks, I felt at that time that Ayo Fayose was trying to patronize the Ibos on the pages of newspapers was and very myopic for his lack of local research before making that comment because there are many private world-class shoes, bags and other pure leather manufacturing companies owned by Yorubas in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, etc, that he could have sent the vibrant Ekiti youths to. The biggest shoe manufacturing company in Nigeria is owned by a Yoruba man in Lagos and they are export-ready shoes. One of the shoe and leather companies in Lagos is also Yoruba-owned and his company makes leather boots for the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force, Police, Customs, etc. Another one in Ibadan called Itele makes luxury shoes for local and export consumption. There are many Yorubas scattered around manufacturing shoes, bespoke cloths, suits, and more and they didn't do any apprenticeships in Iboland but learned the skills on Yorubaland and abroad. Recently, the Lagos Government also set up a leather hub in Lagos for local shoe and bag entrepreneurs.
Even in Kano, there are leather processing and shoe manufacturing hubs with supplies of boots being made to the Nigerian Army and Police from the Hausa shoe producers.
I'm aware that for centuries, the Yorubas have been involved in long-distance trading to many West African kingdoms or empire from the Oyo Empire and that made Oyo to be rich and had money to be able to buy horses regularly from Hausaland through the Nupe country long before Nigeria even came into existence.
Today the Yorubas also have there own systems for financing their trading or business activities through non-interest funding and other methods of collectively pulling funds together and sharing profits for centuries now. So, there are Yoruba groups that have been known for their business sagacity for centuries now like the Ijebus, Ijesas, Ogbomoshos, Igbomonas, etc.
Holiness2100: BOMBERS AWAY : WORLD War Three fears are mounting after China flew 19 nuke bombers and fighter jets into Taiwan air space for "invasion" war games.
The Taiwanese air force responded by scrambling combat aircraft, issuing radio warnings and deploying air defence missile systems to monitor the activity, the defence ministry said.
The latest Chinese military incursion on Sunday involved 10 J-16 and four Su-30 fighter jets, an anti-submarine aircraft, and four H-6 bombers, which can carry nuclear weapons, Taiwan's Defence Ministry added.
The Chinese aircraft flew in an area closer to the coast of China, roughly northeast of the island of Pratas, according to a map provided by the ministry.
China regards Taiwan as part of its territory and has long threatened to use force to bring it under its control.
Taipei has been complaining for more than a year about repeated missions by China's air force near the island.
Earlier this year, China vowed to invade Taiwan and offered a glimpse of a terrifying three-stage plan to pave the way for an invasion force to storm the breakaway island.
Any invasion would represent a serious escalation of hostilities and could drag in the US through its pact to defend Taiwan.
Tensions have been bubbling in the seas around China for months where the US and Japan are reported to have been holding joint military exercises amid fears of a possible conflict.
In July, China staged massive military drills including assault landings and island-control exercises in a bid to demonstrate the communist state's military might over Taiwan.
China has described its war games as necessary to protect the country's sovereignty and deal with "collusion" between Taipei and Washington.
And fears of conflict are mounting after Taiwan's defence ministry last week warned China's armed forces could "paralyse" its defences.
'PLAYING WITH FIRE' China told Taiwan it should be "trembling" as the US "won't protect" the island from invasion.
In another chilling message, Beijing warned the US it is “playing with fire” and pledged to "crush" Taiwan if it seeks independence.
Beijing often launches military missions in Taiwan's air space to express displeasure at comments made by the island, or at shows of international support for Taiwan - especially from the US.
Although it's not clear what prompted the latest incursion, a US warship and a US Coast Guard cutter sailed through the Taiwan Strait late last month.
It comes just weeks after China sent 11 warplanes into Taiwan's airspace during war games - threatening "immediate" invasion.
The six fighter jets, two bombers and three surveillance aircraft flew into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone.
ONE CHINA POLICY Relations between Taiwan and China have been strained since 2016 after the Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen hit back at the "One China" policy pursued by Beijing, which does not recognise Taiwanese independence.
Under the policy, Taiwan is viewed as a breakaway province of the country rather than a separate country with its own government.
The One China policy is a key cornerstone of Sino-US diplomatic relations and was recognised by former president Donald Trump.
Washington, however, has always maintained a “robust unofficial” relationship with Taiwan and has continued to sell arms to the island.
SeeThisLoser: THE US paraded almost its entire fleet of nuclear stealth bombers in a massive show of force as the Middle East teeters on a knife edge.
The B-2 Spirits - saved only for the "most important missions" - are "ready to execute a global strike anytime, anywhere," the US Air Force warned.
The B-2 Spirit is a multi-role, heavy bomber capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear warheads.
The 1000kmh beasts are designed to be virtually invisible to radar and are the world's most expensive aircraft, estimated to cost £1.6billion each.
The two-pilot jet has an unrefueled range of 6,000miles and is specifically built for intercontinental missions.
As tensions spiralled earlier this week as Israel promised it would carry out a "significant response" to Iran's aerial attack last weekend, the US was testing its stealth bombers.
Twelve of the entire fleet of 20 B-2 Spirit's performed a fearsome so-called "elephant walk" and flight routine.
The rarely-seen aircraft were amassed as part of the "Spirit Vigilance" training exercise which focuses on increasing the readiness of the airmen to carry out a stealth bomber mission.
The impressive aeronautic challenge involves the jets taxiing together in close formation and a minimal interval takeoff.
The aircraft, assigned to the 509th Bomb Wing, were seen on the runway at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri on Monday.
The US Air Force said: "The routine training ensures that Airmen are always ready to execute global strike operations… anytime, anywhere."
Speaking about "Spirit Vigilance", Col. Geoffrey Steeves, commander of the 509th Operations Group, said: "This is a reminder that the B-2 Spirit bomber is the visible leg of nuclear triad.
"Simply put, the B-2 is the world's most strategic aircraft.
"It is the only aircraft on the planet that combines stealth, payload, and long-range strike.
"We are charged with delivering the nation's most powerful weapons for our most important missions."
The spectacular show of American airpower comes as Israel launched its much-awaited revenge attack on Iran this morning after repeated calls from the US for restraint.
The precision strike hit a major Iranian air force base next door to one of its prized nuclear sites near the city of Isfahan - just days after Tehran unleashed an unprecedented missile and drone blitz.
Iranian state TV launched into damage control claiming three drones were "destroyed" by its air defence batteries and no ground damage was caused.
However, the fresh attack threatens to further push relations between the two arch-foes to the brink amid fears of an all-out war breaking out across the tinderbox of the Middle East.

In a news conference, President William Ruto said it was a "tragic moment".

New information about the Iranian-Israeli conflict presented by this episode of Samri Channel. It appears that Iran, which denied being subjected to a direct air attack, is not seeking to respond to the Israeli attack on Isfahan, as Russia informed Israel of the content of this message, while many countries moved to urge Tehran to be content with this round.
Agence France-Presse quoted Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as saying that Russia had informed Israel that "Iran does not want escalation." Lavrov said in statements to Russian media on Friday that during recent contacts with Israeli representatives, Russia conveyed to them Iran's position that Tehran does not want further escalation.
He said: "It was confirmed very clearly during these discussions that Iran does not want escalation, and we informed the Israelis of that." Although Lavrov said that contacts began after the Iranian attack on Israel last week, the timing of his statements after Israel's retaliatory strike indicates that Tehran's position has not changed.
Recently, a number of countries, including the United States, called for avoiding escalation between Israel and Iran after the latter targeted Israeli areas with marches and missiles in response to the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria, a strike in which 7 members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were killed. A senior Iranian official confirmed to Reuters that Tehran does not have a plan to immediately respond to Israel, and said, “We have not confirmed the external source responsible for the incident.
We were not subjected to any external attack, and the discussion leans more towards infiltration rather than an attack.” In this context, the Jerusalem Post newspaper considered that Iran’s limited comment on the Israeli attack that targeted the city of Isfahan indicates that Tehran is not planning revenge, a response that seemed aimed at avoiding war. At the regional level, the newspaper said that the Iranian reaction to the Israeli strike indicates the success of international diplomatic efforts that called for avoiding a comprehensive war in the region since Tehran’s drone and missile attack on the Hebrew state last week.
She explained that Iranian media and officials downplayed the scale of the attack when they indicated that it was an attack carried out by “infiltrators” and not Israel, which does not claim the need for revenge, which indicates their desire to stop the “cycle of retaliatory responses” between Iran and Israel. The New York Times said that the muted reaction after the Israeli strike from both countries indicates that they want to ease tensions. A state TV analyst said that small drones piloted by "infiltrators from inside Iran" were shot down by air defenses in Isfahan.
Iranian state television said that shortly after midnight, “three drones were seen in the sky of Isfahan. The air defense system activated and destroyed these drones in the sky.” Media outlets in both countries downplayed the attack, in what analysts said was a sign that the two rivals were seeking to calm tensions.
On the other hand, Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir - today, Friday - wrote a one-word post on the X platform: “Mockery!” This follows reports of a limited Israeli strike inside Iran. Ben Gvir had demanded - following the “True Promise” attack launched by Iran on Israel on April 13 - to respond “insanely” to the Iranian retaliatory attack with the aim of “creating deterrence in the Middle East.”
In a televised statement, broadcast on his account on the Officials in the Israeli government and opposition criticized Ben Gvir for his statement today, as they saw it as a hint at Tel Aviv's responsibility for the attack. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority quoted unnamed ministers as saying, “Such statements may endanger the state’s security.”
As for opposition leader Yair Lapid, he said on the X platform, “Never before has a minister in the security government caused such great damage to the country’s security, image, and international standing.” He added, "Ben Gvir succeeded in mocking and exposing Israel from Tehran to Washington."

I'm just blown away by the amateurish attempt by this lady to bring her relatives dead body into the bank to sign for a loan that she probably would have been the beneficiary.
On the other hand, the man may have died on the way to the bank, so, it might as well not be a case of fraud.

Impressive comments from Mallam Nuhu Ribadu... One of the few Fulah folks I have regard for. The Central Bank of Nigeria and the NSA, Nuhu did a very brilliant job in conjunction with security agencies to tame the wild monsters in the illegal currency black markets that have relentlessly grown since the early 1990s through round tripping and distortions of the markets through hoarding. Nuhu's actions have NEVER been done before.
Now, ONLY legit BDCs exist and NOT the criminals in the illegal currency black markets.

Anyone can read the full 2018 Guardian article below to get a hang of the TRUE paternal Yoruba ancestral history of the Oba of Benin's Royal lineage according to the Ogiame family:
AreaFada2: I have said for years that unless our Yoruba people come up with a more objective and credible story on Oduduwa, objective outsiders will consider Edo version way more credible. Even by many diaspora Yoruba that were not fed on tribalism. They will seek to know what is more scientifically plausible. But I was shouted down. It's beginning to happen.
Read the article below to get a hang of the real historical FACTS from the Ogiame family indicating that the Oba of Benin's Royal lineages is of direct Yoruba descent:
Second, the current Ooni of Ife granted an interview to Saturday Punch in 2022 and he CLEARLY stated that there were 2 other ruling dynasties with kings in Ife before the rise of the 3rd dynasty called the Oduduwa dynasty. Oduduwa came from the Oke Oranfe area and was Yoruba. The mythology in Ile-Ife or Yoruba historical events should not be taken as literal history but are symbolic just like you see in different cultures and religions around the world that tell stories in metaphors, so, these metaphors have to be decoded to convey a message.
There were people inhabiting what is now Ife today even before the rise of the Oduduwa dynasty according to the current Ooni of Ife.
PoliteActivist: Seems Binis founded all major cities in Yoruba
ALL major Yoruba cities? That's an incorrect assertion. All the Yoruba cities were founded by Yorubas.
The Bini involvement in Eastern Yorubaland was more of settlement in ALREADY existing Yoruba towns as long-distance traders and big time Yoruba long-distance traders also settled and traded in the different parts of the Benin Empire. Existing Yoruba towns such as Akure, Owo and Igbara Odo for instance had Bini trader settlers who lived and traded between Yorubaland and Benin kingdom.
The late Professor Sophie Oluwole is a descendant of Bini trader settlers in Igbara Odo now in Ekiti State.
funmijoyb: Usen in Edo was founded by Oranmiyan senior brother by seeing this I know your historian (Yoruba Haters) will now go to their village to falsify their history for them. Usen founded about eight other towns and are in Benin today. Their first language were Ife dialect.
Idu people is not an ethnic group it comprises the Urohbo, Yoruba, Esan, Ijaw even Igbo they migrated from Yoruba land area of Kogi and Osun to their respective lands is multi ethnicity not a tribe. Esan are more Idu people compared to you You need to tell me your tribe before you became Bini
Elawure of Usen. I once read that Chief Gabriel Igbinedion's mother is an indigene of Usen. I read that when they greet one another, they do so by asking: "How is uhe (Ife)?" in the dialect.
UGBE634: Oba Erediuwa is a Yoruboid Benin or seem to be one, the version of history from the palace has always been Yoruboid, if you tell this to the ogiamens and the core Binis, it is laughable to us, that has always been my stand here, i have been vocal about it, to your serious scholars here, scholes, etc not you that feed from crumbs.even to my own kinsmen areafada a Yoruboid Bini and to all other of my kinsmen here.
It has even caused me hatred, it is the palace version here that has always led to this back and forth and what we would term the yorubanization of Edo history
Bini did not have anything to do with Ife pre oba dynasty!!!!!!!!!!! Tell it to the Ogiamens and see them look at you as a clown. This is a family that actually thinks the Oba of Benin came from Yorubaland and they rented some parts of their land to him
The Ogiamen family is a might family, not a push aside, a visible one to all Nigerians, visibly opposed to the Obas family, in fact at every coronation of a new Oba, some Ogiamen family members are arrested because of scuffle between them and the Oba’s family. You can’t do selective research on issues and be whole, you leave the Oba Erediuawa ikaladerhan story and you take the Obagodo, you claimed the first one is a blunder and the second one is not.
You quote the ogiamens when they say the Oba is a foreigner, won’t you bother to think about what they have to say about the Ogisos also, or it does not matter, that of the Oba whose story has been seen to be faulty on many grounds would do now because it suit your skewed narrative
UGBE634: Benin is a single tribe with influence from other tribe just like Yoruba with influence and migrations from Bariba, Nupe, Edo, Fulani, returnee slaves from other countries and all.
You guys like to regurgitate things in ignorance, you read and listen to nonsense online and regurgitate without research. There is no Esan community older than urhonigbe or Udo and these are pure Bini communities. I dare you there is almost no word that is in the Bini lexicon, that is not also in Esan, yet again many of these words are cognates between Edo/Igbo/yoruba, e.g Okhorkor, Ologbo etc an ignorant person will just observe for Edo and Yoruba and not bother to check Igbo if there is a version of it there and assume it was borrowed.If you understand Edo, even if it is two percent, you will know Esan is the corruption and not Edo. If you observe how these clans migrated from Benin, the period in view, you would find out that the closest to Benin linguistically in Esanland according to their oral accounts migrated the latest. Igueben, Urohi till today is still 85 to 90 percent Bini.
Bini or Edo is a full tribe with linguistic presence in about 8,500km square expanse of land. Esan is spoken in a little under 3000 km 2 of land.tell me which is more dominant and visible. Oranmiyan’s presence does not extend beyond Benin city and a section of the western part,(bear in mind that 90% of Binis residents in Benin city are from other Bini villages and towns,)In fact Oranmiyan sank in the Edo sea on ground.
Esan does not have an Ogiso, at best they experienced it with us, again Ogiso is peculiar to Bini/Edo. If Esan is to replicate in writing, it would be Ojiso, then the Urhobos would be Oviso,these are the three largest Edo groups in the Edoid linguistic space. That would already cement Edo/Bini as one of the three major languages in the Edoid linguistic space with it own unique pattern and structure.
This is corroborated by the fact that the Olu of Warri that migrated in the fifteenth century is styled the Bini title of king “Ogie” and not Ovie or Ojie the Urhobo and Esan version respectively. He is titled Ogiame tsuo and not Ojiame or Oviame, that is an Edo/Bini linguistic marker
Indeed, the Ogiame family also AFFIRMED in a 2018 Guardian newspaper interview that the Oba of Benin is of Yoruba descent as can be read from the Website below:
Esan means to run or flee. The Esans used to be in Benin before relocating to there current locations due to upheavals. I read this fact many years ago and indeed Bini and Esan words are very close.
Interestingly, the Yoruba word "SA" means to run or flee. "O SA" could be interpreted as to run or flee a location.
Just a point of correction:
It wasn't "returnee slaves" (sic) that returned BUT it was liberated returnee Yoruba ex-slaves and their free-born descendants that returned to Yorubaland from foreign countries such as Brazil, Cuba, Sierra Leone, Trinidad, United States via Liberia in the case of the 2 Vaughan brothers who were both born in South Carolina and who's father was an Egba Prince that got captured just after 1800 and taken to work on a plantation in South Carolina, where he eventually got liberated by his boss, etc.
UGBE634: there is nothing like Obagodo, don’t be a fool, there was no Yoruba presence in Benin kingdom pre Oba dynasty. It is istrictly Ogiso igodo. The way it is pronounced by people propagating the Obagodo already renders it useless. How will you have Ogiso ”Oba”godo alongside, it already renders it useless. That would mean king king godo
Just to add to your convo here:
The Ogiame family AFFIRMED in a 2018 Guardian newspaper interview that the Oba of Benin lineage is of Yoruba descent as can be read from the Website below:
funmijoyb: I can give you 10 towns founded by Yoruba in Edo state but Yoruba are just not claiming they own the state.
Aside from Usen, what others Yoruba towns were founded in the present Edo State?
A guy here on NL from Usen was briefly lamenting here on NL about 4 years ago, that his people wanted to join Ondo State in a boundary adjustment but the Oba of Benin had prevented them from doing so. There's a lot of politics in the Yoruba/Bini-Edo intercourse tbh.
funmijoyb: First and foremost Benin is not a single tribe is combination of tribes of Esan, Ijaw, Idu and Yoruba people's merger. The Aborigines of Igodomigodo are the Esan people. before, many Yoruba had migrated into it and requested for a king from Ile-Ife to come and rule them. Oranmiyan a Yoruba prince and warrior came and defeated the Esan's Ogiso and chiefs of Igodomigodo. To make it a Yoruba town, he renamed the town he ruled Ile Ibinu in Yoruba language and imposed Obaship a Yoruba title on his new territory in an attempt to make it a Yoruba land just like other territories and towns founded by many Ile-ife princes Till today Bini has a lot of Yoruba words used with Esan and other Igodomigodo languages.
Oranmiyan founded the new tribe "Bini" that is composition of Igodomigodo tribes eg Yoruba, Esan, Ijaw and Idu people. These combination of cultures and tradition is what you're calling Bini today. Bini people are not of a single tribe. Yoruba played a vital role on Ile ibinu cultures and traditions. In fact, many Yoruba sees it as a Yoruba land till today.
The Ogiame family also AFFIRMED in a 2018 Guardian newspaper interview that the Oba of Benin is of Yoruba descent as can be read from the Website below:
This Vanguard newspaper article is absolutely false!
NO Benin prince ever founded Ile Ife.
Second Ife or Ufe has always been in existence with other two other ruling dynasties before the rise of the current Oduduwa dynasty according to the current Ooni of Ife in a 2022 interview he granted.
Third, the Ogiame family also AFFIRMED in a 2018 Guardian newspaper interview that the Oba of Benin is of Yoruba descent as can be read from the Website below:

Odewaleadesoye: Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has alleged that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is planning to arrest him over alleged Naira abuse.
Portable, who is currently abroad, claimed that the operatives of the anti-graft agency would pick him up once he lands in Nigeria.
The ‘Zazu’ crooner, who recently came out to beg EFCC to forgive him if they have any evidence against him abusing the Naira, said he is now being targeted after self-acclaimed social media activist, VeryDarkMan asked the agency to come after him for allegedly abusing the Naira.
Speaking in a recent Instagram live session with fans, Portable said:
Ignorance of the law anywhere in the world is NOT an excuse. It's just 6 months or a little more in a correctional center... then you're gonna be let out.
The one person that should be forgiven when it comes to cheating is a man. Yes, that's hypocritical, but that's the truth. Yes, only a man deserves forgiveness when it comes to cheating. Though, men shouldn't cheat too for peace to reign.
Some things favor women while others favor men. That's just how life is. Feminists want equality, but it's impossible.
Rape accusation favors women 90% of the time. Cheating, on the other hand, is supposed to favor men 90% of the time too.
This is to say: when a woman cheats, she is 90% in trouble just the same way when a man gets accused of rape — whether he did it or not, he's 90% in trouble.
In your case, she cheated and you forgave all because of love and fear of losing her because she is beautiful or smart.
A woman that cheats will always cheat as long as the man she cheated with is better than her boyfriend or husband in bed (those that read the book Lasticle know what I'm talking about). Make I tell you the truth; a dick that knows its job is sweet! Women are my witness.
Once you go black, you can never go back. Even if you manage to go back, you'll soon go black again and blame is on highness.
Now, back to your case: You caused everything for forgiving her when she cheated. This is what low self-esteem causes. You broke one of the rules of "48 Laws of Dump."
Those men that can't approach women and woo them are always contented with a cheating partner.
It's more like: If I lose her, how will I get another one? And I have even introduced her to all my family members, so let me suck it up and just marry her like that — she will change after marriage. Nah! It gets worse.
Talking about telling her, my question is: are you really a man?
Communication is key, but real men know it's 50/50. Not everything should be talked about — some should be done in silence without a trace.
The only time you should talk about it is when the result is out and not in your favor. If it's out and all the kids are yours, then continue keeping quiet as if nothing happened and love her more for not making you raise bastards.
Bump.
Succinctly put.
Any woman who stupidly cheats in marriage or a long-term relationship has to get gone! That's a deal breaker for any real man in a worse case scenario. Period.
For those who have not been following my previous thread. There is a link for it below.
I thank everyone who encouraged, insulted me, advised me and lend their voices in the previous thread. You are all appreciated and God bless you all.
The last few days have been a total nightmare to me as I lost concentration and became uninterested in everything I normally do daily and lost confidence and half my of my weight.
I took the test because I wanted to be sure she is a changed person, have peace of mind, migrating my family abroad this year of which DNA evidence will be required of which I wont want to disgrace myself publicly. Despite the fact that none of the children bears any resemblance with me which was one of the many reasons I took the test.
After waiting for several days for the results to come in, they finally arrived. It is with gladness and joy in my heart, I announce announce the result of my paternity test. They all came back positive. All the children are mine with a 99.9% probability.
I became so happy that my family thinks I just won a lottery. I am a happy man today. As for my wife, I no longer care what she did in the past but for the fact that they are my children, I will love her forever.
I wont be able to talk further because she must not find out what I just found out she is a Nairalander. Peace-out and God bless you all.
I have been having some doubts about my children which I stated in my earlier post but I couldn't summon the courage to do it.
My wife kept giving me reasons to suspect her so I had to man up and take the test secretly. I took the test and samples were submitted few days ago but the doctor said it will take 7 to 10 working days for the results to come back.
Ever since I took the test, I haven't been myself. Am so restless and anxiety is killing me while I keep praying the results comes out favourable as I know it could mark the end of my marriage if there is a bastard among the children.
Men in the house: Can you share your experiences conducting DNA on your children and what was the out come. My hear beat is so loud right no. This is the moment of truth. So help me God.
Update: While I was at the DNA clinic waiting for my samples to be taken. I saw a couple who came for a different type of DNA test. The lady is two months pregnant while the guy wants to know if the pregnancy is his before assuming responsibility of the baby.
He was charged a million naira for the test and was told to come back for results in two weeks time. I wish I knew this was possible as it would save me from what am currently passing through. Aside the cost implication, I will advise every man to take their pregnant partner for test before assuming responsibility for any pregnancy. I just learnt something new!
Note: I will update this thread once the result comes in the next few days. I hope I'll be a happy man afterwards.
Islie: The suspension “centred around the current non-operational status of Dangote Rice Limited” by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nascon Allied Industries said.
In December 2021, BUA Group – one of Dangote Industries’ biggest rivals in the cement and consumer goods sectors – consolidated its sugar, rice, flour, pasta and edible oils units into a single firm, later listing it on the NGX as BUA Foods.
Estimated at N720 billion at listing, BUA Foods’ is now worth N6.8 trillion in market value less than four years after.
If the three Dangote companies meet the conditions for approval and the transaction is completed, Dangote Sugar and Nascon Allied Industries will be delisted from the NGX.
Both companies, which at that point will have alternated with Dangote Rice, will be relisted on the stock exchange under a single name.
