I don't know of this is allowed on nairaland but I have to do this because I'm drowning already and I may lose my life if I can't get a quick help. I'm not begging for money but I am humbly begging for employment. I have a B.Sc. Plant Science and Biotechnology (2010) and M.Sc. Genetics (UNIBEN 2015). I am very sound with Microsoft applications, Adobe photoshop, a little of corel draw, and internet operations, I can repair computers with software problems too. I am an Associate member of ISMN. I did my IT at NACGRAB, my NYSC with Nigerian Bottling Company and I've taught Chemistry and Mathematics in two different secondary schools. I write articles and I play some bit of guitar too. I don't want to go the details of why I have to cry out on here but all I can say is I'm in a deep mess and only a job can bail me. I'm currently in Ibadan living unprintable condition. If there is anyone in this land who really needs a job to stay alive that fellow will be me. If you have any help to render, message me on edgersitler@gmail.com. Pls save my soul, I'm drowning.

Somehow I think Nigeria is at a dead end with the present leadership.

I've noticed a common trend in the African teams at this World Cup, they seem to value prayers than practice, must you come and be praying on the pitch? Croatians were waiting for our boys to finish praying before beating them hands down, it was the same thing with the Egyptian side. Na only Africans know God? Now you can see one good reasons Africans are behind the rest of the world? We focus more on frivolities and less on the things that matters. Many will even be angry I'm typing a piece like this, they could even call me atheist but that Uruguayans didn't come to the pitch with Bibles and Qurans does not mean we know God more than they do. We all know the role religion has played on the state of Africans, when we need to act we've been praying. Until we know that bible rated work before prayer, we shall continue to be like this. Enter the ring and fight leave mater for Mathias, haba.

Blacks will always be black. We never struggle for progress, we are all about ego and frivolities.

THE IMPUNITY OF PROGRESS 100.5 FM ADO EKITI AND ALHAJI OLUNLADE AGBOOLA: AN ALARM TO ALL WELL MEANING NIGERIANS
Hello Ola…hey Tayo…tell me it is not true?...what is it Tayo?...that you killed your brother because of your late father’s properties…
Tayo was my one of my bosom friends both in the primary and secondary school, he now resides in America. One of his relations who listened to Progress FM on Monday 17th January between 9pm and 10pm heard Alhaji Olunlade Agboola accuse me of killing my half-brother (Late Mr. Olalekan Benson RIP) on the radio. She called Tayo to inform him of what Progress FM had just broadcasted about his old friend. Tayo then called me with serious doubts. Tayo is just one out millions of unsuspecting individuals whom Alhaji Olunlade Agboola had misinformed directly or indirectly with the help of Progress FM Ado Ekiti.
Alhaji Agboola went to my Father’s house to record the voice of my half-sister (Olajumoke) and the widow of my late brother and he played the recording on live radio but he didn’t think it was necessary to hear my view before judging me on air. He neither tried to speak with my mother or to my elder sister or to me before the program but he mentioned the names of the trio on FM foolishly claiming I killed my brother with stick. He even boasted right there in my father’s house that he has sent seven people like me to the prison. Olajumoke talked shamelessly like one who is possessed with legion of demons to claim she saw me do what I didn’t do and she gave all sort of lies which can be easily proven by normal humans to be false, but this Alhaji chose to believe her lies without hearing from me because he want to be on the radio at all cost not minding the effect all those devilish lies will have on the future of a youth like me.
When I argued with my late brother it wasn’t in the closet it was in the open and several people witnessed the whole drama from A to Z, but Olunlade spoke with Olajumoke who hated me from birth for reasons known to her and sold all the lies to the general populace on Progress FM. Progress FM Ado belong to the Radio Nigeria network, I expect such a radio station to help build the land and make the world a better place not frustrate the efforts of our law-abiding youths by defaming their character, slandering and maligning them.
It is true I had an altercation with my Late brother on 25th of December 2016 (which is not strange among siblings), it is also true he was hospitalized on 28th of the same month for a sickness he has been managing for years and it is true he passed on on 8th of January 2017 after a surgery at the University of Ife teaching Hospital. It is not true that I gave him any injury or smashed anything on his head, it is also not true I and my mother showed no concern when we heard he had been hospitalized neither is it true that my late father left any property behind that is useful for me.
Progress FM Ado Ekiti what happened to investigative journalism? Alhaji Olunlade Agboola what happened to the fear of God? Olajumoke my sister, what happened to the blood we share? Now I have tasted the sour wine of libel brewed by Olajumoke bottled by Alhaji Agboola and served by Progress FM Ado Ekiti, I don’t know who the next victim of this wicked combination will be, that is why we should do everything within the ambit of the law to ensure that this impunity is extirpated, this anomaly must not continue. I am destined for high altitudes by my Maker, no mortal can crash my plane because Oluwa ni. Thank you for reading this.

RIO OLYMPICS: SOLOMON DALUNG, I SO LOVE MY LUNGS
The lung is a biological organ that extracts oxygen from the air; it is simply our breathing organ. The Rio Olympics started in Brazil on 5th August with Nigeria sending about 80 athletes while USA sent more than 500 athletes. It was as if we have never participated in any previous Olympics or that the Rio Olympics was impromptu. This is because of the unbelievable events that surround the Olympics on the Nigeria part:
The kits that should be worn by the athletes arrived only three days to the end of the Olympics. Our athletes attended the opening ceremony in their track suit. Many athletes competed in their personal/training kits.
A lot of athletes were left to find their way to the venue of the Olympics, even our male football team arrived just hours before their first game.
Our dream team threatened to boycott their quarter final match against Denmark, it took the purse of Mikel Obi before our team agreed to play the match. Mikel had to expend almost $5,000 on the team sent to the world event by NFF.
Mariam Usman, one of our athletes at the Rio Olympics said ‘I can only consider going to another Olympics if things change for the better. But if the status quo is maintained, I don’t think I will go to another Olympics again’ she went further ‘the people you are to compete with had everything they need…I had nothing’
Well, I can go on and on with many things that went wrong with Nigeria at the 2016 Olympics, but I will stop there.
What affected my lungs and my ribs was the statement made by our Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung concerning the show of shame by Nigeria at the Olympics. Solomon blamed GEJ for the poor Rio outing, saying Jonathan handled logistics and preparations poorly. He said ‘I am barely 9 months in office…’ then I started laughing and cant breath freely and nearly cracked my ribs. This administration is 15 months old, it spent about 6 months shopping for ministers –maybe GEJ is to blame for that too. Nine months is a very long period of time, if you doubt that, ask a pregnant woman.
The blame game is everywhere in Nigeria, but the exponents of blames should know that not everyone can be fooled. I will advise this Minister to get better excuse next time he is trying to defend his failure. He should not crack my ribs, AY and Bovi are doing enough jobs on that, more so, Dalung, I love my lungs, and it helps me breathe.

23 Mohammed Abacha
November 17, 1993 is one of the most notable dates in Nigerian history. That day, General Sani Abacha seized the government and became Nigeria’s seventh military dictator. People in History holds no doubt about the fact that Mr. Abacha’s regime was characterised by massive corruption, state-sponsored murder and assassination, and random imprisonment of persons seen as critical of government. Of course, many Nigerians of the time, hunted by the government worked in secret and sought exile abroad. Once he took the reins of power on the 17 of November 1993, Abacha announced to the dazed nation that Shonekan had resigned and that he has graciously accepted his resignation and dutifully taken over so as to prevent the country from drifting further into collapse. General Abacha was one of the most notorious kleptocrats in recent memory. In collaboration with his family and close associates, he embezzled billions of public funds, while millions lived in poverty. The proceeds of his loot, many stashed away in foreign countries, are still being recovered. Despite the international shun his government endured, he oversaw an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million dollars in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997 and reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997.
During his father's military rule, Mohammed Abacha was involved in looting the government. A preliminary report published by the Abdulsalam Abubakar transitional government in November 1998 described the process. Sani Abacha told his National Security Adviser Ismaila Gwarzo to provide fake funding requests, which Abacha approved. The funds were usually sent in cash or travellers' cheques by the Central Bank of Nigeria to Gwarzo Kuncnoni, who took them to Abacha's house. Mohammed Abacha then arranged to launder the money to offshore accounts. [1] An estimated $1.4 billion in cash was delivered in this way.

22
22 Nicu Ceausescu
Nicolai Ceausescu is pretty much the worst thing to ever come to Romania, and with him he brought a terribly oppressive regime that enforced curfews and limited public speech.For 15 years Ceausescu bullied the Romanian populace to the point of mass depression, so when he began having kids the people feared the reign would only continue with his hellish spawns. Nicu Ceausescu was close with his father, and his inheritance of his father’s position seemed guaranteed: he was trained by two brilliant communist minds in preparation for taking his father’s place.u was almost as despised as his father was: he had a terrible reputation as both a rapist and an alcoholic. Nicu also had a tendency to gamble heavily and then getting into car accidents as a result of his binge drinking, and would commonly endanger the Romanian people with his horrible driving practices. After Nicolai was executed for his crimes against the country, Nicu was imprisoned for 20 years for being accused of holding child prisoners; he was released early due to suffering from an extreme case of Cirrhosis, he died 4 years later in a hospital having (thankfully) never picking up where his father left off.

21 Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue
If you’ve never heard of Equatorial Guinea then certainly aren’t the first, which also means you’re unfamiliar with its god awful living conditions and horrible leader.Mbasogo took his position by force when he ousted his uncle, and he has now held the position of “president” since 1979: a title that he hopes on to pass on to his son. Compared to some of the other names on the list Mbasogo is just a small fry, but he has still built up a rap sheet including unlawful killings, government sanctioned kidnapping, and of course the systematic torture of both prisoners and detainees.basogo’s son, Teodorin, is currently the Second Vice President of Equatorial Guinea, but he is hoping to call himself the president some day. It didn’t take long before the young Teodorin started racking up millions in embezzlement charges, but he needed the money because he was spending huge amounts of money on champagne and cars: he is currently be investigated and people are threatening to confiscate his vehicles, but when your father has a reputation for murder the judicial process slows down some.

20
20 JEAN-CLAUDE DUVALIER
Jean-Claude Devualier is better known as “Baby Doc,” a name coined from his father’s infamous nickname: “Papa Doc.” Papa Doc was the president of Haiti from 1957 to 1971 and the odd part was that he was actually elected by the people rather than stealing his power, but after he became president hen you start knocking off entire families you quickly begin losing popularity and so Francois had to withstand more than one attempt to remove him from power.
Like his father, Jean-Claude ruled Haiti with an iron fist; after his father’s death he held onto every bit of power he could for the fifteen years.he killed 60,000 Haitians so reelection was probably a bit more imminent. uring the fifteen year dark period of Jean-Claude’s legacy thousands of Haitians were killed, hundreds of thousands of Haitians fled the country in fear, and he drank himself silly while delegating decision making to his advisors; living the high life isn’t difficult when you’re making millions off the trade of drugs and the selling of body parts from the citizens you kill. With so many dead folks as a result of the Devualier name it makes you wonder where these “Docs” went to med school.

19
19 KIM JONG II
Most people are familiar with Kim Jong II, but he was nothing compared to his father, Kim II Sung, who created the very position that is currently being passed down to his family.
Kim Il Sung brought socialism into North Korea, began a strong brainwashing and propaganda campaign naming him “the great leader,” and eventually claimed a seat of absolute power in the Country by running off any possible competition. When Kim Jong II inherited his father’s seat of power, he was intoxicated by the prospects of what he could do.
Kim Jong II completed his education in the “People’s Republic of China” in an effort to keep him safe during the ongoing Korean War, and donned the title “The Dear Leader” in order to differentiate his rule from his father’s. Kim Jong II furthered his father’s brainwashing campaign by editing the school’s curriculum to glorify both him and his father as gods: including the ridiculous notion that neither of them defecated or urinated. Kim Jong II’s time as the ruler of north Korea is still recognized as the most repressive government to ever exist, as its citizens could hardly be called anything more than prisoners!

18
18 KIM JONG UN
The “Kim” family certainly takes “like father like son” to a whole new level.
After Kim Jong II died at the age of 82 after suffering a severe heart attack his son adopted the title of “Supreme Leader,” and picked up right where his father left off. After getting a physics degree at the “Kim II-Sung University” (yes, seriously), and an “army officer degree” at the “Kim II-Sung Military University” (yes, I’m still being completely serious), Kim Jong Un was ready to start making the tough choices that a great leader needs to make.
im Jong Un’s first order of business was to eliminate military officials that had been loyal to his father’s rule, and over the next eleven months the entire North Korean senate of elected officials had either been removed from power or mysteriously disappeared. Un wasn’t even supposed to be selected for his father’s rule initially; his brother, Kim Jong Nam, was the family favorite until he was caught trying to enter Japan with a invalid passporT.

17 MARKO MILOSEVIC
Slobodan Milosevic is the former president of Serbia and let’s just say this fellow has one heck of a campaign strategy: if you oppose him then you don’t live long enough to collect your votes.
Slobo was originally elected as the President of the Socialist Republic of Serbia, but after he was elected he essentially took a piss on their constitution and started remaking all the rules to give him more power; the citizens obviously weren’t too happy with having their rights stripped, and after years of oppression and arrest they staged a 96 day protest that resulted in Slobo being removed from office.
Slobo’s son, Marko didn’t have any interest in conventional politics like his father had, and instead chose to pursue a life in organized crime (which is pretty much the same thing). After Slobo was removed from power Marko had to flee the Country, and sought out refuge in Russia. Marko has no respect for the wealth that helped build him to what he is, and to date he has crushed 17 luxury cars, and continued to exploit shopkeepers by blackmailing them. Perhaps the most disgusting thing that Marko has done to date is be connected with the murder of a business competitor named “Zeljko Raznatovic,” which I’m sure makes his father very proud that he is in the family business.

16 UDEY HUSSEIN
Even the younger readers will be familiar with the horrible reputation of the infamous Saddam Hussein, and heck, most of them were old enough to see the broadcast of his hanging.
Uday Hussein was Saddam’s eldest son, and was spoiled by his father since he was destined to take his place after his death, but after Uday suffered grievous injuries as a result of an assassination attempt he was quickly replaced with his younger siblings in the pecking order. Uday was always a troubled soul growing up and he made sure that the people of Iraq felt the same suffering he did.
Uday was accused of some rather serious offenses, including numerous allegations of murder, torture, and rape, with his victims including members of both the Iraq Olympics team, and Iraq’s national football team. Even when he was younger Uday didn’t get along with others: he killed his father’s personal taste tester and valet over a minor disagreement. Uday excelled in his courses (on paper) but it was strongly implied that failing to give him exceptional marks would be seen as an unforgivable insult. When the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, Uday was killed after a three hour firefight at the age of 39: turns out the military is a wee bit stronger than a valet.

15
FAISAL WANGITA
Idi Amin was a Ugandan dictator for eight years and he got that power by convincing everyone that he would bring peace and democracy to the country: he lied through his teeth.
Amin’s idea of peace was regulated death squads that kept his civilians in check, which resulted in racial oppression and the expulsion of 80,000 Asian people from Uganda. Ida is perhaps the most drastic and hardcore dictator out there, killing hundreds of thousands of citizens (some of which by feeding them to crocodiles), and broadcasting public executions of his own soldiers on T.V.
Ida’s son, Faisal, grew up to be a real piece of scum like his father: he joined a gang and began terrorizing the citizens of Uganda since he knew he couldn’t be touched; at one point he and a group of 39 others beat a teenage boy to death with knives, hammers, bottles, and poles. After Ida’s fall from power he was jailed for five years for his past deeds, and while inside he faced swift justice: thirteen teenagers piled onto him and beat him to death while incarcerated.

14
MUTASSIM GADDAFI
Muammar Gaddafi famously had an “inner circle” of valuable political members that were empathetic towards his causes, and on that circle sat his son, Mutassim.
Mutassim was conditioned from a young age to be a negotiator on behalf of his father, and as soon as he was old enough he was thrust into the role of an international diplomat who spoke on behalf of the Libyan people. Despite the horrible upbringings that a lot of political children seem to face, it turns out that Mutassim was more well rounded than the rest: in that he didn’t have strange compulsions towards rape and torture.
Mutassim met with both Hilary Clinton and John McCain, who described him as a polite albeit forward man that really seemed earnest about his intentions and improving the quality of the Libyan people but not everyone was such a fan of his politics; anti-Muammar rebels stormed his father’s home in Sirte, during the climax of the Libyan civil war, and executed him along with his father after holding him in captivity. Being the son of a ruler seems to severely limit your prospective lifespan.

13
Hirohito held the position of emperor in Japan from 1926 to 1989, and during that time he committed so many acts that it’s impossible to keep count (but let’s try anyways).
Hirohito and his army was responsible for the “The Rape of Nanking” which claimed the lives of 300,000 people, he killed every Chinese prisoner of war that was captured, 200,000 women were sexually assaulted on his orders, he forced Chinese men to rape their own daughters, he enslaved over ten million people (most of which were murdered or cannibalized), and he used human beings for bayonet practice… which is basically the art of practicing stabbing things on live people.
Hirohito’s son, Akihito became the emperor in 1989 following his father’s death, and thank Christ has it been a major improvement (although that isn’t really saying much); he still holds the position today, and has made giant efforts in reducing the power and control that the royal family has over its citizens. After Akihito witnessed firsthand what an unchecked dictator can do, he never wants to see the same kind of horrible ruling ever befall his people again.

8 LI NA
Not much is known about Mao’s children because Mao didn’t have a habit of keeping them around very long; one died from dysentery, some were captured by Stalin, and he personally sent one to work in labor mines as a way to toughen him up, and he forced his third wife to bear his children and then abandon them directly after birth as a way of showing devotion to him and only him. Of the many children that Mao fathered over the course of his vicious campaigns, he did recognize two of his children as not only being of his blood, but of deserving his title of father: Li Na, and Li Min.
Li Min was a simple, humble and gentle girl, but Mao’s favorite, Li Na was an absolute fanatic just like her father: she was placed in a hard institution that combined agricultural labor with communist study to prepare her for a world where Mao ruled. Li Na went on to work in both the tenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, held local authoritative roles, and worked in worked at the “People’s Liberation Army Daily,” which is a media outlet based out of China that speaks to the people regarding Communism.

9
Caligula (like his brother Nero) was a Roman emperor, and a particularly evil one at that. Within three months of his rise to power, 160,000 animals were sacrificed in his name, and he contracted a serious brain fever that rendered him delusional and violent. Caligula labeled himself as a god, and he started giving out executions like it was a Christmas giveaway on Oprah; he loved killing kids, feeding people to lions, sexually abusing his family members, sawing people in half (vertically not horizontally), and eating human testicles: now picture him as your dad for a moment.
There are plenty of stories about the complex lives that the children of these horrible dictators must face, which is why I feel it’s important to include a story that differs some from the rest. Caligula was despised so much by the Roman officials and civilians that he and his wife were assassinated in 41 AD, and when the murders took place they also killed one year old Julia; Caligula was so vile that superstitions surfaced that he might literally possess the body of his daughter, and so the baby was assassinated so that the world would never see the likes of him again!


10 EDDA MUSSOLINI
If you think you and your parents don’t get along then wait until you hear about Benito Mussolini and his poor daughter, EddaI
Usually when you marry a fascist political propagandist it’s because your parents are trying to gain power, but in Edda’s case she did it for pure honest to god love. When Edda’s husband dissented on her father’s rule he was arrested for treason and sentenced to a brutal execution; she pleaded with her father to release her husband and claimed that if he carried through with the execution that their relationship would be dead, and a few days later it was
Edda was furious about her husband’s execution and so she rebelled against her father in the only sensible way possible: she fled to Sweden and started sleeping with communist leaders while vocally undermining her father’s position; Benito was executed in April of 1945 by a group of Italian partisans, but those two events are probably completely unrelated, right? Perhaps the greatest achievement Edda ever had was smuggling the Count’s wartime diaries out of the country with her on her escape, which would later be published and used as a historical source for what was happening Italy during its most severe fascist period.


11 CLAUDIA AUGUSTA
Nero was the 5th emperor of Rome and he is most well known for bringing the entire empire of Rome into ruin, and earning the nickname of Satan.
If you’re familiar with the association of the number “666” then you might be interested to learn that the number is known as the “number of Nero,” as well as “the number of the beast,” because when 666 is transliterated from Hebrew into Greek it translates into “Nero Caesar.” Nero murdered every member of his family, thousands of innocents (including Peter and Paul of biblical lore) through horrendous methods like scalding hot baths and genital dismemberment, and burned down his city to wage a war on Christian innocents: what an upstanding guy!
Before he went totally nutty Nero was infatuated with his daughter, bestowing upon her and her mother the honorary title of “Augusta.” Claudia lived a peaceful life with her family, partaking in the highest educational allotments of Rome, and taking in interest in giving back to the Roman citizens. Claudia suddenly fell ill and died three months later; her father was devastated and declared her a goddess: it’s hypothesized that this loss was what drove Nero to act so maniacally.

12 SAR PATCHATA
Pol Pot is such a despicable character that if Hitler were throwing a party for the world’s dictators he wouldn’t have invited him, although he couldn’t attend anyways because he was sentenced to a lifetime of house arrest. 1.7 million Cambodians starved to death as a result of Pot’s malicious policies, but the government still wanted his bloodline in the government and so they sent him a wife to bear his children: the result was Pol’s daughter, Sar. Pol loved Sar unconditionally, and promised her that growing up she would never want for anything (although he had a bad track record of keeping food on the table).Sar lived a normal yet somewhat impoverished life, and without having to worry about her father being overbearing she was mainly left to her own devices while being cared for by her mother and the state. Sar got married in 2014 in a rather humble ceremony all things considered, and now spends her time like any other modern person: surfing the web and tweeting about her lunches. Sar is a perfectly normal woman except for one small detail: she may or may not still think her father was a good man and a patriot, rather than a mass murdering death machine: but hey, propaganda runs deep.

1 JEAN-MARIE LORET
Hitler is the most infamous dictator of all time, but he never had any children…or did he?
The Frenchman Jean-Marie Loret (and his son Phillipe) seem to think that Hitler not only had a secret affair with an unknown woman, but that Loret himself is the product of it. Loret has been met with a great deal of skepticism, and no one seems to take his claims seriously, but that didn’t stop him from going to the media with the story and writing his own autobiography titled: “Ton Pere s’applait Hitler” or “Your Father’s name was Hitler.
Loret had this bombshell dropped on him by his mother in 1948, but she had only done so because she was nearing death: of course no one else was there to verify it though. Learning his origin brought a great deal of complication into his life, and it was recorded that his wife actually left him when she found out the truth about where he is from. Loret has visited significant places all over the world to see firsthand what his father had done, and tells anyone who will listen about his history. I guess the only thing worse than being the son of Hitler is that nobody believes you (or maybe that’s a blessing in disguise).

YAKOV DZHUGASHVILI
Joseph Stalin is perhaps the coldest hearted husband and parent to ever live; he was a raging alcoholic and battered his wife into submission, and during a disagreement he shot her to death.
When doctors refused to sign a certificate that claimed her cause of death was appendicitis he killed them too: the next doctors were probably shocked to see a whole room of appendicitis victims. Stalin’s Son, Yakov, wasn’t exactly a saint himself: his wife, Yulia, only married him because he arranged for her to be divorced from her husband and to be wed to him (but girls like confidence, right?)W
Stalin despised his son, and as a result of his poor treatment, Yakov tried to commit suicide by shooting himself, but his aim was off and he mangled his face instead; when Joseph saw what his son had done, he mocked him and said he couldn’t even shoot straight. Yakov would later fight in the Second World War and was captured by the German forces; despite being tortured his father wouldn’t negotiate for his release, stating that his son was no different than any other solider. Yakov succeeded at killing himself the second time around, when he intentionally ran into a powered fence at the POW camp he was held in.

3 MIHNAE CEL RAU
There have been some pretty nasty nicknames thrown out over the years but “Vlad the Impaler” is just going to have to take the cake on this one.
In case you didn’t notice that Vlad’s last name is “Dracula” I assure you that this is no coincidence: Vlad’s thirst for blood inspired the creation of the iconic vampiric character. Vlad loved one thing in the world and that was watching people die: his favorite method was to sit people in top of dull poles and watch as gravity took their life over the following days
Vlad liked impaling so much that he would have entire towns butchered via impalement and would eat lunch while listening to the cries of the people: he impaled 100,000 people… he really earned that nickname.
Vlad’s son Mihnea was a pretty bad apple, but sometimes your old man just has you beat plain and simple (I mean those are some pretty big poles to fill if you catch my drift), but nonetheless he still tried; Mihnea aggressively sought to continue his father’s reign but was inevitably overthrown by the Ottoman empire. Mihnea was certainly no saint, but he didn’t do much to earn his nickname of “the evil one,” it just turns out that if you’re the son of the devil that word gets around pretty darn fast: go figure!

4 FEODOR I OF RUSSIA
You know you’re in for a bad childhood when your father is nicknamed “Ivan the Terrible.” Ivan was a Russian Tsar, but more importantly he was very very cruel.
One of Ivan’s favorite pass times was to chuck animals from very high places, and he destroyed several cities out of paranoia that they were secretly plotting against him. Ivan may not have generated the multimillion death counts that some of the other names on this list have but what he lacks with quantity he makes up for in quality: he had a personal affixation with torture and murder, enjoying the sound of pulling ribs out of people’s body with a hot poker, before eventually being poisoned to death while playing chess.
Feodor was a darling boy but was unfortunately mentally deficient; he was given the rights to rule but most of the responsibilities were delegated to the people around him due to his inadequacies. Since Feodar bore no children his death meant an end to the Rurikid dynasty, which would sent Russia into a spiraling descent into dark times; this was actually Ivan’s own fault since he accidentally killed his eldest son in a fit of rageF

PRINCESS STEPHANIE
Leopold the second is like the Hitler that nobody knows, which is crazy considered just how brutal he was.
No one associates Belgium with unmistakable acts of violence, but under Leopold’s order nearly 20 million people were forced into slave labor, and countless other millions of Cantonese were tortured and slaughtered in his name. Leopold is responsible for the death of 50% of the Congo’s entire population (around 10 million), and made sure the dead were put to good use via cannibalism.
Within 30 years of Leopold the second coming into power all but 2 African countries were conquered by the Europeans, which is shocking when you hear that prior to Leopold all the African Countries were free.
Leopold had a daughter named Stephanie that actually got to live a fairly normal live (aside from being royalty), and she managed to do so by fleeing outside of her father’s jurisdiction; she shacked up with various royalty and established herself as an heir to several fortunes. Leopold couldn’t care any less about his Stephanie, and saw her as a distraction for his life’s calling, which was apparently killing people from the Congo. Stephanie went on to invent and patent a chafing dish, and lived out the rest of her days in as much peace and quite as she could muster.


6 OGEDEI KHAN
What list of dictators would be complete without the glorious Genghis Khan!?
Good ol’ Genghis was the Khan of the Mongolian Empire for 21 years, commanding an unimaginably large army that conquered most of China and every bit of land up to the Caspian Sea. Genghis was one of the most ruthless men to ever live: he took over 700,000 lives in a single battle, massacred civilians to discover the locations of their treasure, raped more women than anyone to ever live, drank the blood of horses, used human beings in place of a shield, enslaved thousands of people, and eradicated up o 30% of the world’s entire fricken population (60 million people)G
Let’s be honest here: Genghis had so much sex that there are sixteen million people that are related to him, but his most cherished son was Ogedei Khan (who said that parents don’t play favorites). Ogedei was coddled by his father and personally selected to be the warrior to carry on his legacy, going on to become the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. Ogedei wanted nothing more than to make his father proud, so did what any good son would do given the circumstances: he continued raiding China and India until he reached the end of the continent… that’s a good boy.

7. ELLAC
Attila ruled the Hunnic Empire for nineteen years, and while doing so he became the most feared enemy of the Roman Empire.
There was only one thing in the world that Attila cherished and that was the thrill of battle: he didn’t believe in the concept of taking prisoners, and he doled out death to so many people that he was thought to be a punishment from the heavens (giving him the nickname “Attilla the scourge of God”).
Attila believed that the lives of non Huns were without meaning, and so he took hundreds of thousands of lives without discretion: literally tearing people limb from limb!
Attila had sons with only one thing in mind: creating trustworthy generals! His most beloved son was his oldest son Ellac, who would later go on to inherit his father’s empire after his death. Ellac was trained from a young age in the ways of combat, and his reign only lasted for two years before he was slain in battle like his father had been before him. Ellac was lucky to survive as long as he did, because his father had a habit of eating his own children!

Cheund:
It is painful, really painful. Here I am thinking out my next line of action. My husband slaps and tries to strangle me at any little provocation. Whe he has a date, he looks for a quarrel and sleeps out.

I am tired of both physical and emotional humiliation. I have 3 kids-6/4/24mnths, I bring the food to the house for him and the kids. He works with a private firm but often come back home saying no money. I work for the government and takes care of family bills. The cars in the house are all mine and he drives any at will.

He has no value or respect for family / wife or mother. I am ashamed of complaining to my mum or the church. DON'T SAY HIS MUM OR DAD, he walks out on them and have no respect for anyone.

When you see him out, he looks calm and nice but believe me he is a wolf in sheep clothing.

I have been thinking out what to do when he returns home today. This is 6:33am he left the house since about 10:pm last night without a word to any one. I overheard his mum(she's been with us for Omugwo) asking where he was going to , he ignored her and drove off.

I am tired and thinking out my mind what to do when he returns.

I have no strong bones like him so don't advise I fight him, but I am thinking I should lock the gate and do not allow him in. Pls nairaland family help me out. What should I do?

It Is really bad, but it is not irreparable. start from yourself, what are you not doing right.
then to him, u have tried some strategies to help, since they are not working, change your strategy. You could write him a sober letter, you could ignore his excesses, u could arrange a counseling session etc.
pray about it and seek godly counsels. I need to add that you should be extra careful and watch your back. Don't die for any man, it's not worth it. God will heal your home.

Rise in domestic violence: Infidelity or Economy ~Ola Olusola
Mrs. Abiodun, my neighbour's wife, is presently at the intensive care unit at our General hospital battling to live. No thanks to her husband who battered consciousness out of her few days ago, she has been described as lucky because many of such fights results in death.
I do not need to chronicle the recent murderous fights which our newspapers have been able to write on, neither do I need to tell people in foreign lands that domestic violence is on the increase in Nigeria right now. These men who have successfully murdered their wife are not new in marriage, but now, it seems a beast has been brought into them. This ugly trend is not only about the men because a female Lawyer recently stabbed her husband to death.
Mr. Abiodun accused his wife of infidelity just like the Killer-husbands, it is unfortunate that the deceased are not here defend themselves. Infidelity is not reason enough to commit murder, knowing that you could spend the rest of your life behind bars. These murderers don't even have sufficient evidence to prove their allegations. They bank on their imagination and conclusion. These killers are fingering infidelity believing it sounds better though not to people like me.
The actual straw breaking the back of these Spouse killers is economic hardship, most of these violence stems from the economic situation of the Country. Consider a situation where the whole family depends on the income of the husband, this can make the man become overbearing and quarrelsome. When the family survives on the income of the wife, the man tends to become frustrated and disappointed. Being Africans, the man sees a competitor for the position of breadwinner which should naturally belong to him. When the incomes of both couple is not sufficient to keep body and soul together, danger looms. The situation where one of the couple is very tired from work and cannot perform his/her sexual duties can also be blamed on the economy. It was once like this in our homes, but never under any democracy in Nigeria. I am not writing off the present government, I am only telling them to do something; I hope that's not a crime. Please, pray for the quick recovery of Mrs. Abiodun. God bless us all.

KITI PEOPLE AND FAYOSE'S BRIDGE by Ola Olusola
Overtime, Ekiti people have shown their love for Governor Ayo Fayose without jokes. Fayose earned the love and trust of his people during his first term as Governor of the state. He has always banked on his touch the common man, which for him has paid off. He claimed he understands the heartbeat of the Ekiti man, he 'knows just what to do to move the state forward', and I thank God for that.
There has been some questions on the lips of the average Ekiti citizen recently, these questions are begging for answers because it has proved to be a puzzle.
Fayose has embarked on some developmental projects since his second coming he has even completed some. I have termed three of these projects as 'main projects', I did that because: the amount for each of the projects is huge, the construction will be on for a long period of time, and lastly the projects will serve a large number of people with myriad purposes. The projects are the Modern Oba market, the overhead bridge at Fajuyi Park and the Airport.
I understand the immediate need and purpose of the new market and for that I am thankful to the Governor. But I don't understand why Ekiti people need that overhead bridge and Airport at this time. The construction of the bridge has started and it is expected to gulp 5.7B Naira out of the governmen t's purse. I have not seen any 'meaningful' traffic jam at Fajuyi and environs. In my opinion, Ado does not need such overhead bridge for now. If at all the Government wants to construct such, it should be at the old garage area of the City.
Akure has an Airport, if the road liking Ado and Akure is in shape, it will take about 40 minutes to get to Ado from Akure. Fine we can say 'Teni ni teni' but there are more pending issues which the government should have faced rather than the Airport. The state government has been struggling to meet its financial obligations to it workers, there are teaming unemployed youths in the state, industries has remained in the dreams of the people.
The government has defended the airport project severally and all I can do is wish them well, the government should also come out and defend this overhead bridge project because many citizens including I thinks this is a clear misplacement of priorities. God bless us all.

eagleccentric:
Thanks bro for the above.
Truth be told, every group has its own cultural history whether oral or written. However you look at it, the Benin history of Prince Ikalederan/Oduduwa makes more sense than what the yorubas hold on to that Oduduwa descended from heaven with a great chain. I wonder how people can believe such a fairy tale in this generation.. (SMH)

The fact that the yorubas were the first to embrace western education and hence the first writers of modern Nigerian history does not make the fables that was shoved down our throats in primary and secondary schools to be reality.

OP please forget about fairy tales and embrace reality. It is a known and accepted fact that Benin empire were the first to have have ambassadors in the royal courts in Europe but do we force that down the throats of others??

For those still doubting, i leave you with a simple question: How comes the name ODUDUWA has a Benin meaning but yet no known yoruba meaning or translation??

Oduduwa (odu to da iwa) has meaning in Yoruba.

Oduduwa has Yoruba meaning, Google is your friend. I know the claim that oduduwa came down from heaven has no basis, but you will agree with me that eweka belongs to the oranmiyan dynasty, simple.

Equalizer:
For you to have mentioned that Oduduwa was indeed a Benin prince summarized the whole write.. Ask questions and I will educate you on what led to his emergency travel from Benin to Ife and how he was installed as Oni of ife...

There is no where in that article that claimed that oduduwa is a benin prince. the statement there is 'even if oduduwa is a benin prince'.

Oba of Benin: Yoruba or not by Ola Olusola

Our Civil service Echelon is a good one, even when you have the Commissioners, the Permanent Secretaries and Directors are the real Leaders of the Ministries. I called this a good arrangement because it allows those who know how the ministry works to be in charge. Disaster looms when you do not understand what you represents.

The Esogban of Benin and the Odionwere (traditional Head) of the Kingdom, Chief David Edebiri said recently that Ooni of Ife was a son of Oba of Benin; He said Oba of Benin has nothing to do with Yoruba Obas and that the word Oba is alien to Yoruba monarchy. All these above statements bother one fact; This High Chief does not know the history of the Kingdom he represents. These conclusions are obvious based on the following facts:
Oduduwa was the first Ooni of Ife, He sent his grandson Oranmiyan to be King in Benin, Oranmiyan left Benin in annoyance and his son Eweka was installed as the first Oba of Benin. Oranmiyan then went on to found Oyo thus becoming the first Alaafin of Oyo. At old age, he returned to Ile-Ife and was installed as the sixth Ooni of Ife. Thus, Oranmiyan is the founder of the present Eweka dynasty in Benin effectively ending the Ogiso Dynasty. Even if Oduduwa was a Benin Prince, He never ascended the Benin throne either as Ogiso or as Oba. But his Grandson (Oranmiyan) had a short spell as the Ruler of Benin and gave the city the present name, and Oduduwa’s great grandson (Eweka) was the first Oba of Benin. How could the stool of Oduduwa be a son to the stool of Eweka?

On the claim that Oba of Benin have nothing to do with the Yoruba Obas, There are histories with evidences on the relationship between kings in the southwest and the Oba of Benin. From time immemorial, the Oba of Benin have always identified with other Yoruba Obas. The history and evidences abound for this High Chief to access. I cannot say Benin People are actually Yorubas, but I can categorically say that the stool of the Oba of Benin is perfectly Yoruba. Kano people may not be Fulanis, but the stool of Emir of Kano is Fulani, likewise Ilorin people may not be Fulani but the stool of Emir of Ilorin is Fulani. Thus the Oba of Benin has everything to do with other Yoruba Kings.

On the claim that the word Oba is alien to Yoruba monarchy, even Merrian-Webster dictionary knows more about the word ‘Oba’ than Chief Edebiri does. Oba is the Yoruba word for king, though the name of the stool of given king may differ, yet all kings in Yorubaland are Oba. Ewi is the Oba in Ado, Owa-Obokun is the Oba in Ilesha, Osemawe is the Oba in Ondo and so on. The idea is different in the present Edo state, because Benin-City are the exponent of the word Oba in the present day Edo. Therefore, you do not see Yoruba Kings (Obas) without a title for their stool except in the present day Lagos, where it was recently changed from the original Eleko of Eko to Oba of Lagos for obvious reasons. In the southwest, you will hear something like ‘His Royal Majesty, Oba James Aladesuru, The Onigede of Igede Ekiti.’ Note that the prefix for the name of that king mentioned here is ‘Oba’.

Before you speak for a group, it is important you know the group very well, do not say what you do not know. Therefore I recommend High Chief David Edebiri for tutorial class on the History of Benin Empire for which he is an Ambassador. Lastly, I want to commend the Yoruba Obas for not joining issues with Chief Edebiri. What the descendants of Oodua needs now is not supremacy battles because it will not help anyone, we need to focus on fostering unity among us and live in peace with all men. Half-baked individuals can never rewrite our history.

The South-East is the smallest geopolitical zone in the country in terms of land mass and number of states. Geographically, the entire South-East, which is made up of five states, is half the size of Borno State.

Segunod:
With 50% drop in fedral allocation, how do u expect states with lower IGR to survive? Am sure the 50% most of this states recieve is not even enough to pay salaries and equally embark on developmental projects. GEJ spent almost 3trilion on his re-election campaign. Do u knw how far this money would hav gone in developing this nation?

I am sure you gave gej the 3 trillion. that's why u are talking with this level of assurance.

harde2lah:
Yes we are so happy to be brainswashed. Tinubu, we so much appreciate your brain washing.
So, what next? Try another line, this Tinubu line is stale.

Goosh, wen will people like you learn to speak for yourself. I'm 100% yoruba and gej is my candidate. I say no to Tinubu and whatever he represents.

Apc lost in ekiti due to non performance, but your party decided to say its because of stomach infrastructure as if they didn't share rice during the election too. Ekiti people prefer Fayose, I don't know why that is too difficult for you and apc to understand. Pls make it your job, keep watching ekiti and osun for the next four years, I'm sure you will see that ekiti people are wise.

Aphrygian: Am a proud Osun indigene,I can boldly say it that even if some people claim fountain of knoledge. You can't compare there intelligence with the good people of Osun state.we need real infrastructure not the stomach infrastructure oooooooo.to pdp mercineries in Osun don't worry 4yrs hunger and drought don start...........
