Oga and Boi dealings of the Igbos remain a great ancient practice that is rewarding if you view it from the right perspective. It has its two sides of manifestation or call it, it's poossible outcome, but every serious minded boi should make out something good from the system.
I talk from experience and in the nearest future, my book on comprehensive look at the system will be published. This will focus on addressing the ills of the system. I encourage anyone who wants to go into it to have a formal agreement with witnesses. It's presently being done in some areas. It protects both the oga and the boi in the dealings. One thing I find out in the system, is the unbalanced way life plays itself on human. Most good Ogas had ended up with very treacherous Bois and vice versa.
Don't cast every woman and don't generalize any experience. Some wives had been known for the only reason their husbands settled their bois. I speak from experience.
And for my brother, the poster, you are not disadvantaged here. The ball is in your court and the outcome of things will depend on how you play it. Remember some Ogas with clean source of money may settle you with next to nothing. But will bless you and give you directions and connections. Those with such advantage, if they are cool headed and diligent in business, always excell greatly.
To encourage you, today I am doing well. Yet not with any settlement, no N1 from my former boss as stolen money from him. And in the way life plays itself out sometimes, I visited him some years back in his office, just to greet him, carried with an official car. And to tell you the my experience is not just serving, but I was a Joseph in my Ogas business. I really made him and since I left him many years ago, he has not remained the same. Though I had some regrets too as a young guy, coming up in life, the experience of my service and my disappointments served as a motivating factor to whom I am today. One of my regret then, was my rejecting an offer of being sent abroad for a good business connections and dealings because I so much trusted the system then.

Those of you saying Buhari printed too much money, please where do you get your information from. I have an insider report on this my people. Buhari maintained what should be the acceptable normal permitted by law and the indicators. You can't print cash beyond 2% of your GDP and the past administration respected that to a large extend. The present administration came in, from the insiders report, and printed trillions of naira note. They loosed the Lion out of its cage. And if you think they want to checkmate the excessive cash as part of remedying the dying economy, especially on matters of inflation;.....then,
Tinubu is trying to clear his mess. The smell is large, it's getting to Everybody!

Yes, these are larva sourced from waned raffia palm tree which later metamorphosed to a kind of beetle found mostly in fresh palm wine. The Igbo name for this type of beetle is 'Akpakiri'. The other kind of larva is sourced from withered oil palm tree which metamorphosed to rhino beetle that you referred, Igbos call it 'Otugbu'. However, both are edible and nutritious.[You are a true born of your father. 👍👍👍]

No no no no! You can't quite na, it's your calling

People will stand and defend rubbish. Because you are nnpc and you are the government, then you need to sound unlearned to defend your failure. You refute the marketers claim but you end up saying the same thing they gave us as the cause of the queue.

When you think say you don hear am or see am all!

As much as I support this move for what it pursues which is to sustain a good moral backing for our young, I have the biggest challenge in the fact that this leaders have not, in any way, show us they believe in good moral standing. How do a child follow a father that instructs the child to do what he says and ignore what he does. There can't be a GOOD MORAL STANDING WITHOUT GOOD CONSCIENCE.
NIGERIAN LEADERS DOES NOT HAVE ANY FORM OF CONSCIENCE TALK MORE OF A GOOD CONSCIENCE!

My people when we use the word, "Illegality", we end up opening an unnecessary debating table and platforms for constitutional, "bruhaha" and grave manipulations.

The right headline is, "THE WICKEDNESS OF EX-GOVERNORS COLLECTING BOTH SALARIES AND DAMN PENSION".

I rest my case.

HOW WILL SOMEONE COME OUT, BECAUSE OF A PERSONAL ONE TIME EXPERIENCE, YOU STAND IN THE PUBLIC TO APPLAUD A PUBLIC NUISANCE. SISTER PLEASE TRY AND COME TO PORT HARCOURT AND AGBEROS IN FIRST HAND WHEN YOUR VEHICLE GETS BAD. IN PORT HARCOURT, THOSE GUYS ARE THE GREATEST NIGHTMARE OF ANY ROAD USER WITH A FAULTY VEHICLE. DON'T PRAY TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM WHEN YOUR VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN!

The Most useless news I have ever read in my entire life. So wish those that carry news like this will see no need to make it exist in the news space.
Had the news read; the education minister resigns for being a failure in office, which resignation came during an education counsel.
Period!

I AM A MINISTER IN DEEPER LIFE AND THANK GOD THE VIDEO OF THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN DROPPED HERE. I WAS IN THAT SERVICE.
FOR ALL OF YOU HERE OPENING YOUR DEVICE AND DROPPING WHAT YOUR TROUBLED MIND ALREADY CONCEIVED AS A SMEAR ON THE MINISTER'S PERSONALITY AND WHAT HE STOOD FOR, ALL THESE YEARS, HOPE YOU CAN NOW REST?
TO THE VANGUARD WRITER, I VERY MUCH HOPE THAT, ONE DAY HE WILL STRUGGLE TO DEFEND HIM OR HERSELF AFTER BEING WELL MISREPRESENTED. MAY WE NEVER BE DECEIVED BY THOSE WHO LABOUR TO PULL US OUT OF THE GOOD PATH, WHILE THEY THEMSELVES HAVE NO BUSINESS IN THAT WAY.

Young Man you are too young to sound the way you do. About 3years older than my daughter and I can tell you that due to some circumstances, not from me though, she really went through hell. But today by God's grace, I've been able to pull her through great transformation that I even admire what she is becoming.
Personally I was not pampered, but a hard core introvert and with no one to call friend, but having many trying as much as possible to reach you as a minister. That is a making of my believing in God's gift in me and HIS GRACE.
Please stop blaming your parents. They were trying to protect you, but really got it wrong yet has no reason to keep you in the past when you can brush up yourself and choose an awesome path to life fulfilment.
You can make it, coming out bold with a good testimony. Remember though your parents made a mistake in your upbringing will never robe God in any form of mistake in keeping you alive and have taken you through the level you have come in life.
Please quickly run to God, explore what He has truly made you to be that is really lying inside you waiting for activation. Your parents mistake does not kill it. You really CAN.
Lastly mind you; SUICIDE IS ONLY CONSIDERED BY COWARDS AND YOU ARE NOT ONE.
You can as well reach out for more from me as we are called among people like you.

I smell APC Media propaganda in this breaking news..��

Raising of children is never TRAIL AND ERROR stuff and let no one deceive you, it will never be. Let's go back to the basics and the results will always come out great. THE SCRIPTURES hold the answer. The free society we are trying to build in our time, eliminate this, eliminate that, flogging a child has eventually eliminated our possibilities of raising homely children.
Someone rightly mentioned up there of male children submitting more to their father than mother is a little truth with the exception of few talkative men out there now. Shouting and Scolding is a wrong code in raising children.
Raise a standard in your home. Get good Cane commensurate to their age and set a standard in it's use. You MUST let him/her know that what he has done is wrong and take a habit of pointing that out in few more times, say two or three, then use the Cane next when he repeat same and again, it's a MUST he need know why he is being punished. By this, the focus is CORRECTION IN LOVE and it works.
More importantly is the fact, we as parents MUST remember our background and ensure STANDARDS are perfectly set for the family. Here I mean standard that will not make room for our children to base their takes in issues of life in choice and other things on their peers or any other outsider. Let them know what the family stands and believes on. Secondly remembering our background will help us know what will work for our children and what will not work. Here issues of, WAS I HEADY WHEN I WAS IN HIS AGE? WAS MY PARTNER? WHAT CORRECTIVE MEASURES HELPED MY CARE GIVERS, PARENTS TO GET IT RIGHT ON MY CASE, and some related questions. Remember, THE SAME BLOOD RUNS IN THEM.

What you are passing through is not new brother but there are things important here for a total and complete freedom as much as I know you have the willingness (I think your sound of seriousness is worth it- Proverbs 18:1). I want to also applaud your stand on God and encourage you to make it stronger. The response you gave to the"babalawo" people up there is encouraging.
1. There is no challenge bigger than God and His power.
2. Deliverance is not about church but about God and true relationship with him. Yes we know that some ministers majors on deliverance, yet it's every TRUE believers' ministry who has the knowledge on what to do.
3. My challenge is you seems to reside somewhere in the west. I am in the south, but will be willing to help you if you can reach out to me. You mail me or indicate willingness through this reply so we can connect.
4. Note importantly that deliverance itself is over 90% knowledge. There is no blind deliverance and that is your major home take in this my response to your situation, hence mass or group deliverance may not work for you. It Will Be Certainly Well. Shalom.
