Career / My Amazing Encounter With Nkem by Ndubuisioma(m): 12:41pm On Sep 08, 2018 |
So today I decided to get a haircut, been long I did that, and it's been three weeks since I came home from school on holiday. Now when it comes to cutting my hair and trimming my beards, I take particular care selecting a barber and luckily for me, I had a barber whom I have stuck with for two years now, I call him my house barber, because I have another barber in school. On getting to the barbershop, everything was as you would expect, strands of hair all over the place, sound of the generator and its choking fumes, my barber ever busy with his clipper and the usual aimless arguments and shouts by waiting customers who never seem to have a point of reference in their arguments, jumping from one topic to another. But amongst all these, there was something different in that shop today, something unique, peculiar, it was the sight of another barber, a female barber, and her name was Nkem. Now, during my two years of knowing and patronizing my barber, one thing he's known for is his strong headedness about getting a second barber to assist him despite several complaints by customers about the long waiting time to get a haircut. Now what amazed me the most was that not only did my barber finally get an assistant, he got a female barber. There must be something special about this lady for him to employ her. Well as you would have it, I got there and immediately refused her offer to cut my hair, mainly because I felt she wasn't good enough or experienced enough and I decided to wait my turn with my barber. While I was waiting and keeping myself busy by listening to the usual shortsighted arguments of the customers, an old man probably in his 70's walked in and asked to get a haircut, as usual, Nkem offered to give him, but the man bluntly refused saying he's an old man and no girl can touch his head or hair, some of the other customers then proceeded to persuade the old man to allow Nkem cut his hair because he might not be able to join us in waiting his turn but in reply he asked me in particular, "why you no want make she cut your own hair?" and I quickly replied "I no sure say she go fit barb this my style" before the old man could even reply, Nkem swiftly and quickly replied me, saying "point of correction, no be say I no go fit cut your hair, just say you no want make I cut your hair, no come here dey kill my career". As much as I was taken aback by her swift response, I was more impressed with the confidence and assuredness with which she defended herself but still wasn't convinced that she could cut my hair. Just as all these were going on, another waiting customer who was probably in his mid forties said to all of us "let me give her a try, maybe she can convince me" and proceeded to sit in her chair for his haircut and I closely observed. The ease and swiftness with which she expertly gave him a haircut astounded me, I did not know when I went to sit in her chair for my own haircut: after apologizing for my earlier comments, but she calmly replied me and said, "no problem, just sit down make I cut your hair",and she got to work. The way she carved the hair and trimmed the beards with an air of calmness around her, indeed she was coolness personified, I was so amazed and curious that I engaged her in a conversation, I then asked where she learnt how to barb, that was when I learnt that she was a student of English in DELSU, the only word I could muster was "wow", so you're in school and still barbing, she said that's one of the things she does to make ends meet. I was so amazed and ashamed and kept on apologizing to her for my initial comments. She was soon done with my hair and by that time, customers were already in line waiting for her because by now, her works were speaking for her... That was when I really understood what Female power is, it wasn't her body or fine looks or her trim body, it was her character, skill, determination to survive and make it in a male dominated field despite the challenges, doubts and discouragement from customers. Today I was taught a brutal lesson in life and just as the old saying goes, "never judge a book by its cover" in this case, "never underestimate a woman who is determined and focused to achieve her goals in life, you just may be shocked beyond your wildest imagination" Truly Nkem taught me a lot of life lessons today and number one is never to look down on people just because they don't seem to fit in with the status quo. How Nkem is able to hold her own in the male dominated barbing profession and still carry on fine with her education is a topic for another day. Nkem is not odd, Nkem is UNIQUE.

Romance / How To Get That Christian Brother Or Sister. by Ndubuisioma(m): 11:45am On Aug 24, 2017 |
Dear Spiritual Sisters, Just because a gentle believing brother asked you out at church doesn't make him any less spiritual, and neither does it reduce his anointing. Do not loose your respect for him because he ministers in the morning and woos you at night, do not look down on his level of grace because he leads Bible study on Sunday and sends you love poems on Friday, say no in a polite manner if you do not feel any personal conviction to return interest. Do not judge him, for above everything else love is a basic necessity of life, after all if we don't toast you in the presence of God where else again? Is it in the club we will now go and do it? And you too Spiritual Brother, Its like I will have to do a special series on how to woo a believing sister, because you people are equally not encouraging at all. The way you approach a sister in faith matters a lot, some of you are born again but your toasting skills still needs some serious repentance, you'll just carry your street credibility and enter the house of God . See guys, there is nothing spiritual about toasting, open up and say it as it is doing you, don't approach a sister and start talking about how Nebuchadnezzar prayed for a wife and God heard him, go straight to the matters arising and forget about how Jonah swallowed the big fish, abi it was the fish that even swallowed Jonah. That was how I was doing my 5minutes mediation after service one sunday when one choir master approached a sister beside me like; " hi, i was watching you all through service, I love the way you worship" Arrh arrhh watchman! You love the way she worship how? Are you assistant Holy Spirit? all in a bid to maintain his spiritual status in her eyes, haba uncle, this is one of the few battles where we are allowed to use small carnal weapons, hehehehe. Start by complimenting her first, shower her with a little honest Jesus praise. Let me show you, start like this; "Hi, wow! you look so nice in that blue dress (pause and wait for her to smile and say thank you, then pounce) been kinda observing you around lately, and I just thought I could come over and introduce myself in a bit, my name is Adedeji Oladapo, (pause and wait for her to tell you hers, if you like go and be rushing, then pounce again) nice to meet you Chocolate. Hope you enjoyed the service today? (Wait again for her reply, then end the spiritual move there, don't go and be asking her what she learnt from pastor's preaching, go straight to the point) will I be asking for too much if i ask you out to a movie next weekend? Or, got any plans for next weekend? Cos I have two movie and I was wondering if you would like to go with me. (If she says she's not free) nicely say 'oh , alright, maybe another time then, I will see you at the midweek service on Tuesday, enjoy a good week Chocolate." That's it, don't go and be asking for phone number, relax, knowing her name is a first victory, there's always a next Sunday) (If she says she's free, great) Nicely sound a little bit surprise, like 'oh wow, really, so mind if I give you a call sometime during the week to remind you? (Sure she'll say okay) then ask for her number. When you get it, stand there and call her first to make sure it rings, because some of these our sisters too can weak somebody, before She'll go and give you Angel Gabriel's phone number because you have mouth odour, hehehehe. So when you confirm it, just end with "thanks Chocolate, I will give you a call, enjoy a beautiful week, bye. If you like don't carry small carnal weapon and enter toasting warfare, be there doing smeh smeh.

Politics / How President Buhari Is Causing Chaos. by Ndubuisioma(m): 1:07pm On Jul 04, 2016 |
Editor’s note: President Muhammadu Buhari has been criticised for his ‘lopsided appointment’ that has seen persons from the northern part of the country. In this opinion by Azuka Onwuka, he points out that a one-sided appointment is likely to create a crack in the country and make on region stronger than the other. Northern dominance With last week’s appointment of Mr Ibrahim Idris as the Acting Inspector-General of Police, President Muhammadu Buhari further made the headship of virtually all the military-cum- defence agencies and related agencies which wear uniform a Northern affair. It show the following: Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, North; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, North; Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, North; Minister of Defence, Brig Gen (retd) Mansur Dan Ali, North; National Security Adviser, Major Gen (retd.) Babagana Munguno, North; Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, North; Director-General, Department of State Services, Mr Lawal Daura, North; Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Col Hameed Ali (retd.), North; Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr Kure Abeshi, North; Controller-General, Nigerian Prisons Service, Alhaji Ja’afaru Ahmed, North; Commandant- General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr Abdullahi Muhammadu, North; Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig Gen Sule Kazaure, North; Comptroller-General of the Federal Fire Service , Mr Garba Anebi, North. If it is recalled that the Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Damazzau (retd.), under whose ministry are Prisons Service, Immigration Service, Fire Service and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, is also from the North, then the Ministry of the Interior with its agencies is virtually controlled by the North in clear breach of the Federal Character policy enshrined in the constitution. Buhari Furthermore, even though it was not Buhari that did it, yet for the first time in the history of Nigeria, all the three arms of government are headed by Northerners: Executive, President Muhammadu Buhari; Legisture, Dr Bukola Saraki; and Judiciary, Justice Mahmud Mohammed. In addition, the two arms of the legislature are headed by Northerners: Dr Bukola Saraki, Senate President, and Mr Yakubu Dogara, Speaker, House of Representatives. Currently, the three levels of the law courts are headed by Northerners: The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is Justice Mahmud Mohammed (North); the President of the Court of Appeal is Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (North); while the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court is Justice Ibrahim Auta (North). It should be recalled that in 2015, Buhari appointed Alhaji Abubakar Malami as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, also from the North. Furthermore, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which supervises the conduct of national and state elections, is also a Northerner: Prof. Mahmood Yakubu. The unwritten code used to be that the President of the country would appoint someone from a different zone (different language, different religion) as the INEC Chairman to give a sense of balance and increase the believability in the “independence” of INEC. That was why many people raised their voices when Buhari appointed Yakubu, who is from Bauchi State, just one state away from Buhari’s Katsina State, as the INEC boss; for even though Bauchi is grouped under the North- East, it is not seen as being culturally and religiously different from Katsina. It is like a President from the South-East appointing an Igbo from Delta State or Rivers State as INEC Chairman because Delta and Rivers are technically in the South-South, or a President from the South-West appointing a Yoruba from Kwara and Kogi as INEC Chairman on the grounds that Kwara and Kogi are in the North. The dangerous trend The argument of those who support this dangerous precedent is that what matters is getting those who are qualified and who will get the required results. But that argument is baseless. Statistics show that the North does not come close to the South in education and manpower. Year after year, statistics from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board show that any pair of Imo State and Delta or Imo State and Ogun or Imo State and Anambra produces more candidates than the 19 states of the North. State-by-state performance statistics in senior secondary school examination from NECO and WASSCE also show that no Northern state usually appears among the top 10 states. Admission into Unity Schools follows the same trend. That is why the least cut-off marks are given to Northern states. However, competent hands can be found in abundance from all zones and states of Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari In addition, if it does not matter where office holders come from, why didn’t Buhari choose popular politicians like Kwankwaso, Atiku Abubakar, Nasiru el-Rufai or Aminu Tambuwal, all fellow Northerners, as his running mate? He knew that if he had done that, he would have lost the election, no matter how “qualified, clean and popular” he and his running mate were. These two points testify to the fact that Buhari benefited from zoning and balancing of offices. Furthermore, our constitution states that federal appointments must reflect federal character. Buhari has only reflected that in the appointment of ministers. In other appointments, he has disregarded that aspect of our constitution that he swore to uphold. What does the future hold? The danger in this is that in future, a Southern President may decide to do something worse than what Buhari is currently doing. If any part complains, they will be given ample evidence of how it was done in the past by Buhari and many people rationalised it. In addition, a diverse country like Nigeria needs the President to take actions and make statements that show that he treats all parts of the country equally. Much of the tension and crisis in the country today can be attributed to the obvious unfairness that Buhari has displayed in his one year in office. A President with an all-inclusive orientation would have won over the majority of those who did not even vote for him within his six months in office. But Buhari’s actions show that he does not care. He seems to say: “You can say whatever you like or do whatever you like, it will not stop me from carrying on the way I like.” One of the points those who opposed Buhari’s presidential ambition raised against him was that given his antecedents, he would not be fair to all Nigerians based on ethnicity and religion. By his actions and utterances, he has not proved that view wrong. This does not augur well for the unity, peace and progress of the nation. Even some Northern groups and personalities like Alhaji Balarabe Musa, a former Kaduna State governor; Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum; and Dr Junaid Mohammed, Convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, academics, professionals and businessmen, who see the bigger picture and the inherent danger in this trend, have raised their voices against this trend by Buhari. As the President of Nigeria, Buhari is like the father of the nation. A father who loves his home and wants the peace and progress of that home avoids actions and utterances that will show he favours some children and create a gulf among his children. This opinion first appeared in The Punch. |

Bro, you earn a seven digit salary, and you seem to really like the unemployed one. Guess what am trying to say is that instead of waiting for her to be employed, why don't you think about setting up something for her. It will further strengthen the bond between you two. |
