Erm... she is actually his 'baby mama', not his wife. Others would call her his concubine, mistress or live-in lover, for those who are trying to be politically correct. A few would refer to her as his bed warmer or olosho. Kindly choose one. Just ensure that you use the correct terminology.

Using Google Translator does not make u igbo either. Typical afonja with their chameleon way of life.

See this anụ ugbokō. Ekwensu of the highest order. Obviously you are the one using Google translator, because I definitely do not need it. When and where did I say I was Igbo?? See your life? I said a few words in Igbo, and you immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Secondly, why is your brain so shallow that you think anyone who disagrees with your point of view is automatically an Afonja? Anyway, you are the same nitwit that thinks anyone who speaks Igbo is trying to claim that he is Igbo. So why am I not surprised?

A lot of people went to school to learn, but you didn't. You went to school to acquire skills in how to be clueless. Abeg, swerve.

If you have the power to work on and change any sector in Nigeria, which sector will you work on, what will you do and why did you chose that sector.

I know we have people in power on Nl, maybe they can learn from the masses.

The Power Sector, followed by the Transport sector, specifically rail. The 3rd would be the Health Sector. And finally Education.

Power sector needs deliverance, Rail is comatose while Health is on life support.

My mix has nothing to do with the new Ondo gov. My mix is a blend of two minority tribes from opposite ends of Nigeria!

Both Nollywood Diva's stepped out in this lovely white outfit and we cannot help but asked who rocked it better. Even though it is clear they both slayed effortlessly.

37 year old Geneveive Nnaji and 34 year old Stephanie Linus rocked their outfit to the same event, the premiere of the movie "Wedding party"

You mean you actually got 'likes' for this shallow post? For a 30 year old, you do think like a mannerless toddler. Anyway, let me perch in my corner jejely, because I know some Yoruba chaps will give you a befitting answer very shortly. And the sparks are going to start flying soon.

Yeah, and the Osus are also watching in 3D! Those of us from minority tribes can see from the sidelines that you drew first blood. We are waiting to act as referees, when the e-combat, starts!

By the way Rotimi Akeredolu won the Ondo State gubernatorial election. Congratulations to him & the good people of the state. Now they are going to be the first state in the South-West with an Igbo first lady! Hehehe.....

oluwaahmed:
Dnt watse ur strength, she ain't igbo.Freeze cldnt hav said a meaner truth dan dis. Evrybody knows dat yorubas are like whites wen it cmes 2 marriage. Yoruba women are cultured yes, but u can't compare deir commitment in marriage 2 an ibo woman. I mean is anybody rily contestin dis?
Yoruba women R entitled 2 inheritance 4rm both parents & marriage mayb dats y marriage ain't so much of big deal 2 dem. Not sayin dey ain't bad ibo women, but generally ibo women r butiful & stay in a marriage till d very end.
FREEZE u made sense! If nigerians hav d-tribalized view dis country wld rily move 4wrd

Re-ea-ally? I have quite a few Igbo friends married to Yoruba women, and their opinion is totally different from your own. How many Yoruba women have you married that has led you to the conclusion that "u can't compare deir commitment in marriage 2 an ibo woman. I mean is anybody rily contestin dis?".

Please share your experience.

Alariwo2:

Good Morning Good People Of Nairaland

You still haven't responded to my post...why??

Ugosample:
Yea right.

But many Fathers in Nigeria should quit being assholes.

Many of them believe being an asshole is their God given right, and the result of that is seen in many suffering and unbalanced kids on the streets today.
The problem is a two way thing, and for us ti save our society from collapsing, we have to fix it

True!! In the old days, men took their responsibilities quite seriously. It didn't matter if they had just one wife or many wives. They kept the peace, earned a good living, met most needs on the home front, took care of their kids and laid the ground rules.

These days, it is a different matter. A lot of men who have no business getting married or having kids, are now having 'baby mamas,' because it is a trend. Men who should work on their own self-esteem, and build a solid character on which to hang a good reputation, are the ones that have lost the plot and are causing mayhem in society.

And guess what? The society lets them get away with it. And this creates the wrong role models and breeds wrong mindsets in many young people who emulate their sordid lifestyles.

The number of men who abandon their wives on a daily basis has increased, as well as the ones who have abdicated their responsibilities out of selfishness or immorality. The lot has thus fallen on women to pick up the slack.

May God bless all those hardworking mothers (both single and married) who toil day and night, to give their kids a meaningful life, without the input of the so-called fathers.

May God reward all those mothers (both single and married) who have chosen to tackle their problems head on, in order to give their kids a fighting chance to be successful, instead of waiting for an absentee father to drop in on his way out.

May God bless these women. May He support, protect & provide for them in ways unknown to man!

Daboomb:
At the bolded!
First, any child that raises his or her hand against any of their parent, has placed a CURSE on himself!
You can believe it or scorn at it but that does not change the fact.

When God said "Honour your Father and your Mother, so that your DAYS may be LONG in the land", you will think God was joking, right?
it means you have REDUCED your days in this world. It means you will DIE YOUNG... before "your days"!
Such child would NEVER find Peace and would likely be beaten by their own child, one way or another.
It is the law of "Retributive Justice", a.k.a KARMA!

Don't you think you are being rather harsh and judgemental? At the age of 10, most children are NOT in control of their emotions. I am not condoning what he/she did by any means, but saying that he/she would die young is cruel! Are you God? Did you send him/her into this world and do you know the time span God has allotted to him or her?

Listen, I have seen very good people with excellent morals and character who did not live long. And I have seen cruel, wicked and disrespectful people living a long life. Only GOD understands why. It is not in your place to judge anyone or determine the length of their days.

Daboomb:
Secondly, reading all you wrote, it is very obvious that you are hiding your real feeling!
It is obvious that your Mother has ruined your life (psychologically and emotionally), by depriving you of the "inspiration, love and discipline" of a father.
That is the first responsibility of a FATHER, to his Children: INSPIRE, LOVE and DISCIPLINE.

Your Mother can play her role as a Mother but thinking she can play the role of a father (which goes beyond provision of food and shelter) is mere fallacy.
She is not equipped to play that role, she will fail trying and she has failed trying......... that is why you are feeling the way you are feeling TODAY!

Someone has poured out all her soul here and you are still accusing her of hiding her feelings. In what way? Are you psychic? Or have you entered into the recesses of her mind for you to know that there are still some thoughts hidden there, that she is yet to share?

As for a mother playing the roles of a father, many women have done so for years! And a lot of them have done it well, because they had no choice! In fact, quite a huge number of them have done it successfully too, and their children turned out right. If the mother was a widow, would she not raise her child alone? If the father abandoned the mother, would the mother not have to raise the child all by herself?

You claim that the responsibility of a father to his children is to "inspire, love and discipline." Good. Do you realise that many fathers have failed to do all three? Several of them do not even know the meaning of these words! Some only live to have their next fix, or the next drink without caring about the impact it would have on their kids when they misbehave. A friend of mine used to tell me about how her dad drank himself to a stupor on many occasions, and lost his senses. Every night, her mother would wander from bar to bar looking for their father.

And she would solicit the help of strangers to carry him back to the house. They became the brunt of jokes, ridicule and scorn due to her father's actions.Now tell me what kind of inspiration and discipline such a father would impart to his children.

Daboomb:
You think you are FORGIVING your father?
When it is obvious that you are the one that needs to be FORGIVEN.
You are fooling yourself right now.

Trust me, that peace which you seek will remain elusive and you will only, finally have it, when you ASK YOUR FATHER TO FORGIVE YOU AND LET HIM PRAY FOR YOU AND WITH YOU, AFTER FORGIVING YOU.

I am sure, as a good father who wanted the BEST for you, he will be willing to do so, if you come to him with humility, contrition and a sincere heart.
STOP fooling yourself, "A heart that has found peace, does not write all these or feel this way".

My plead to all women (and men) is that even if you dont want your spouse anymore, for whatever reason, PLEASE ensure that the children continue to respect and have access to both of the parents because each of them has a UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION to the upbringing, "proper and balanced upbringing" of the children.

No one Parent can fulfil the role of the other.

Both of them need to forgive each other and forgive themselves. Even the bible you are quoting so copiously admonishes fathers NOT to provoke their children. I guess you did not see that part before you lashed out at the OP. From what I can see, the OP has walked many miles along the path of forgiveness, otherwise she would not have gone to take care of him while he was in hospital.

The father's unrealistic expectations for the child as well as his continuous condemnation pulled them apart. And since to every action there is a reaction, the child ended up reacting badly. Spoken words are powerful and the wrong kind of words can scar a person's soul for ever.

It takes two parents to raise a child, but in a case where one parent's actions are toxic to the child, the other parent has no option but to fulfil both roles, so that the child can have a decent future. There is nothing wrong with having a decent, responsible single mother bringing up her kids, if the man has failed or refused to fulfil his role. Or if he is simply absent, missing or dead. Hope this makes sense.

Kobicove:
The pendulum swings in both directions...there are men who are also in this position of being denied access to their children.

Stop making it seem as if it's only women that are victims!

True, but it seems women suffer more, from this issue. Abroad, women get custody most of the time when their is a divorce. In Nigeria, it is not so. In fact, a lot of rich & powerful men disobey court orders on custody and nothing happens. Blame it on cultural & societal deficiencies.

Why did you remove the price of the car from your post?

wirinet:
Can you expatiate further how this man has been killing and looting Nigerians for decades, Was it when he was Chief of army staff or when he was defense minister under OBJ? Even under OBJ"s civilian administration, he was at logger heads with OBJ on the term term issue and OBJ could not accuse him of looting Nigeria. OBJ went after his oil blocks by seizing and reallocating one of them. He took the matter to court to retrieve the oil blocks.

Yes Danjuma is into the oil Business, so also are dozens of other Nigerians (especially people from the WA-ZO-BIA tribe. To make the matter more absurd, foreigners and foreign companies own more oil leasing and mining license than Nigerians as a whole. So i wonder why you guys are only after one person.
If you are so aggrieved write a petition to the police, EFCC or ICPC detailing the alleged crimes of Danjuma.

Thank you, o! Everyone knows that he made his money from oil. He sold part of the shares of his oil company to foreign investors, and made over $1 billion USD, from the deal, several years ago. His OPL still produces about 25,000 barrels per day. The details are all in public domain.

Nigerian 'Philanthropist' Gives Away $100 Million | by Mfonobong Nsehe , CONTRIBUTOR | FORBES MAGAZINE

Even though several Nigerian millionaires have more money than they know what to do with, they’d rather keep it to themselves than give it away. However, a Nigerian oil magnate and former defense minister, TY Danjuma just might be a different breed. The 73-year old has put over $100 million of his own money into his Charity, the TY Danjuma Foundation- making it one of Africa’s largest charities, and Danjuma, the country’s biggest philanthropist.

TY Danjuma, a retired military General was Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff in the 70s and served as the Minister of Defense during former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s tenure between 1999 and 2003. Danjuma has always been one of Nigeria’s most influential people...

The block, which was located in Port Harcourt in the Niger Delta region, was left unexploited for several years. In 2006, he reportedly sold it to China’s offshore oil company CNOOC for what Danjuma said was $1 billion.

After taxes, and paying off various dues, he said was left with over $500 million.

But he did not know what to do with the money, so he set up the TY Danjuma foundation with a $100 million endowment. During a public forum in February 2010, he recounted his reasons for setting up the charity:

“This was extra money I did not know what to do with. I did not just want to leave the money in the bank. At some point, I thought about saving the money for my children, but I decided against it. I realized that they could fight over the money after I’m dead. So, I decided, why not give back to my people.”

The philanthropist: Apart from his career as a soldier and a politician, General TY Danjuma has left his marks in the field of philanthropy haven created the TY Danjuma Foundation in 2008 with principal aims to provide durable advantages through the implementation of development programmes.

The Foundation is operating more as a philanthropic organisation rather than simply as a charity, seeking to alleviate poverty in communities by providing basic amenities, education for children and young adults while also providing free medical care for indigent people.

The Foundation has currently given out about 500,000 USD as grants to NGOs working to relieve suffering in his home state of Taraba which is historically one of Nigeria’s most impoverished states, compounded by the absence of a health service which catered for the masses. The state is perceived to have the highest case of river blindness and other debilitating illnesses.

Lie!!! Which Northern christian? Did this man pay you?
Am also a northern christian. yes he has been donating to Anglican but can you compare it to what he has donated to Islam?
You are either lieing here to support a man that pays you or you don't know this man. This is some one that will come an preach the need for middle belters to be united in the day then go frantanise and dine with our enemies(Fulani's) at night. I know T Y Danjuma like the back of my palms. He is a powerful man. Infact like I said previously the most powerful man ever in this country. but he only helps you when is beneficial.

Cut the crap and stop the insults. If you do not know what the man has done for Northern Christians, then just say so instead of claiming that someone else is lying. Are you from his LG? Or his hometown? When Boko Haram hit Adamawa & some other areas a few years back, he offered many people temporary shelter in different places & also paid medical bills for others, including assisting churches to evacuate some people.

He has never paid me a dime, but I know churches he has helped & people he has assisted. If you asked him for money and he didn't assist you, then just say so. Maybe that is why you are so aggrieved. Kindly go get a life and stuff your prejudice up your nose!!

There is NO powerful Northern Christian that does not have Muslim friends or Fulani friends. A few even have Fulani relatives. Most of the tribes in the North live in close proximity to one another, so what the heck are you saying? Name one powerful Northern Christian from Gowon to David Mark that does not have powerful Fulani friends, or does not dine with them!

How touching. May the Good Lord who brought you together, keep you two together, till eternity.

But wait o, shey both of you did NOT taste the ehm... 'forbidden fruit' during the 10 years you were dating?

Kagawa10:
Adire uses Wax print in order to give it the desired pattern, just like Ankara uses Wax!

That said, the Dutch wax print may have been been brought from overseas but Yoruba were the first to accept it and gave it a name because it looks similar to the local we're have here! Ankara simply means different patterns/colours!

Now, we've incorporated the style into our local ones and has started to produce it!

Well like I said earlier, I don't know when the Adire pattern of manufacturing merged with the Ankara method of production .

At the time the material was produced abroad and imported to Nigeria, it was actually known as Dutch Wax or Batik. But the local population gave it the name 'Ankara.' And it was made popular by the Yoruba because of their aso-ebi culture.

Different Igbo communities did not really subscribe to the aso-ebi culture in the 60s, 70s and early 80s. Everyone could wear any individual piece, or different pattern of cloth they had, to any event in those days. But since the late 80s and through the 90s till date, their women's groups started making it a common uniform for church events and community activities, with their double wrappers. George fabrics had become expensive, so ankara was now a cheaper alternative.

However, it was the Yoruba that would buy huge bundles of the stuff and cut it into 5-yards length, to give to friends and families for their aso-ebi outfit. Such outfits were then worn en-masse to functions, celebrations and events in the South-West. My late grandmum's sister was a merchant who shuttled between the Middle-Belt & Lagos in the past, with a huge stock of Hollandais Dutch Wax (imported by John Holt in those days) which she sold to Yoruba woman who bought the fabric in bulk, to be used as aso-ebi for their family gatherings & celebrations.

So yes, I agree that the Yoruba made it popular.

Drabrah:
However, a close friend of Mrs. Danjuma said General Danjuma only had a slight Malaria for which he is receiving treatment in the UAE. The source claimed Danjuma is expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday.

http://saharareporters.com/2016/11/26/ty-danjuma-sick-flown-out-nigeria

For an air ambulance to have been called to whisk him out for medical attention, he definitely does not have malaria. His medical condition is more serious than what his wife is trying to portray.

May the Good Lord grant him speedy recovery and protect him from evil. In a region where many Christians of Northern extraction are left defenceless and stripped of their rights, this man has supported Christian Northerners in the North in so many different ways, without making noise. Only God can reward him because a lot of northern Christians look up to him for advice and assistance.

browniex:
I personally worked in his house,he travels abroad like you go to the loo,the funniest part is that he has no business going to church, pastors,priests,reverend father's and all those big title holders in different churches come to his house to pray for him once in a year,and that is at his birthday. to say that he is wealthy is an understatement.

He has used his wealth to empower people and support many churches. And he does it quietly without making noise or taking out full page adverts in the newspapers. If he is one of those who looted Nigeria, can you provide facts, figures and intel on exactly how he did so, and how much was looted and traced to him? Please enough of hearsay and innuendos.

OBJ was a civilian President for 8 years. The Lagos-Otta road was an eyesore when he was in power and even after he left. Between the time he left power as a military head of state in the 80s, and when he came back to the saddle as a civilian president, everyone knew how poor he was. By the time he handed over to Yar'adua, the whole world knew how rich he had become. The facts speak for themselves. Just Google up the facts.

Can the same be said of Danjuma?

Ask anyone - Danjuma is one of the largest donors to the Anglican Church diocese in this country. He has also awarded numerous scholarships, and built huge buildings in many universities in this country, without blowing his trumpet.

Some of your ex-rulers and politicians have not given back to society one-tenth of what Danjuma has done, and yet many of you hail them and sing their praises.

Between the time PMB left power in 1985 and when he came back into power in 2015, how many schools did he build and how many scholarships did he give to people from his community? NONE. Not one. And yet when he declared his assets, he could still boast of 30 million naira. How interesting!

HungerBAD:
This is one man that has for decades been killing Nigeria,and looting us blindly to the ground,and he does it very silently.

Danjuma has more Oil Wells than any Nigerian dead or alive. I know I am guilty of shouting Jonathan's name always,but this is a man past and present Governments should have tried to collect our commonwealth from.

Danjuma is the definition of an untouchable Nigerian.

I cannot believe you actually got 'likes' for this shallow post. How exactly has he been looting Nigeria? Can you give facts, figures and data? If he is one of those who looted Nigeria, can you provide intel on exactly how he did so, and how much was looted and traced to him? There is such a lot of conjecture, rumours and hearsay masquerading as fact. Is it because he has an oil well? Does he have more oil wells put together than all the other Nigerians who own oil wells in this country? Has he defaulted in paying his taxes or remitting any crude proceeds to govt?

Are his oil wells greater than the ones owned by Dr. Uduimo Itsueli of Dubri Oil, or Chief Lulu Briggs of Moni Pulo?

Are his wells more than those owned by Folorunsho Alakija of Famfa Oil or Mike Adenuga of ConOil or Tonye Cole & his other 2 partners that run Sahara Energy?

Does he have more oil wells than those owned by Dan Etete, Abacha’s oil minister who is the owner of Malabu Oil & Gas Company, which has OPL 245?

Do his oil wells exceed those owned by Dr. Ambrose Bryant Chukwueloka Orjiako of Seplat Petroleum which produces about 37,000 barrels of oil per day?

Kindly let us know how you jumped to this conclusion??
