FamilyRe: How Much Income Is Reasonable Before Marriage? by philkay(m): 11:45pm On Jul 22, 2017
Laralag:
It is true that there are lots of mature single sisters in our society today, it is also true that there are loads of single men in our society. could it be that men not settling down is the reason most women are still single. Most of the men we dated as undergraduate migth still be single 10years afer leaving school ( I know a lot). Most men I have asked, excuse boils down to money even though they have jobs.
This brings me to my question how much should a man be earning before he should start thinking of marriage all things being equal.
well it depends on each individual tastes and place of residence, if the wife is considerate the income of the husband shouldn't be less than 70k while the wife should be doing something that brings money
PoliticsAwolowo’s Letter Frm Prison 2 Mjr Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi Pressin 4 His Release by philkay(op): 7:59pm On Jul 20, 2017
(Dated 28th March 1966)
CONFIDENTIAL
To: The Supreme Commander and Head of the Federal Military Government, Lagos.
Thro: The Director of Prisons, Prisons Headquarters Office, Private Mail Bag 12522, Lagos.
Sir:
Prerogative Of Mercy:
Section 101 (1) (A) of the Constitution of The Federation Act 1963
1. I am writing this petition for FREE PARDON under Section 101(1) (a) of the Constitution of the Federation Act 1963, on behalf of myself and some of my colleagues whose names are set out in the Annexe hereto.
2. Before I go further, I would like to stress that the reasons which I advance in support of this petition, in my own behalf, basically hold good for my said colleagues. For they share the same political beliefs with me, and have intense and unquenchable loyalty for the ideals espoused by the Party which I have the honour to lead.
3. There are many grounds which could be submitted for your consideration in support of this petition. But I venture to think that SEVEN of them are enough and it is to these that I confine myself.
(a)In the course of my evidence during my trial, I stated that my Party favoured and was actively working for alliance with the N.C.N.C. as a means, among other things, of solving what I described as ‘the problem of Nigeria’, and strengthening the unity of the Federation. In October 1963 (that is about a month after my conviction and while my appeal to the Supreme Court was still pending), a Peace Committee headed by the Chief Justice of the Federation, Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, made overtures to me through my friend Alhaji W. A. Elias to the effect that if I abandoned my intention to enter into alliance with the N.C.N.C. which, according to the Committee, was an Ibo Organisation, and agreed to dissolve the Action Group and, in co-operation with Chief Akintola (now deceased), form an all-embracing Yoruba political party which I would lead and which would go into alliance with the N.P.C., I would be released from prison before the end of that year. I turned down these terms because I was of the considered opinion that their acceptance would further widen and exacerbate inter-tribal differences, and gravely undermine the unity of the Federation. TODAY, THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT, OF WHICH YOU ARE THE HEAD, LEAVES NO ONE IN ANY DOUBT THAT IT STANDS FOR NIGERIAN UNITY. BUT IT MUST BE EMPHASISED, IN THIS CONNECTION, THAT IF I HAD PRIZED MY PERSONAL FREEDOM ABOVE THE UNITY OF NIGERIA, I WOULD HAVE BEEN SET FREE IN 1963. IN THAT EVENT, THIS PETITION WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NECESSARY, AND THE WORK OF CONSOLIDATING THE UNITY OF THE COUNTRY TO WHICH YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES NOW SET YOUR HANDS MIGHT HAVE BEEN MADE EXTREMELY MORE INTRACTABLE AND IRKSOME. As recently as 20th December, 1965, identical peace terms (the only variant being that the alliance with the N.C.N.C. which was now a reality should be broken) were made to me here, in Calabar Prison, by a delegation representing another Peace Committee headed by the self-same Chief Justice of the Federation and purporting to have the blessing of the Prime Minister, with the unequivocal promise that if I accepted the terms my release would follow almost immediately. I rejected the terms for the reasons which I have outlined above.
(b) One of the monsters which menaced the public life of this country up to 14th January, this year is OPPORTUNISM with its attendant evils of jobbery, venality, corruption, and unabashed self-interest. From all accounts, you are inflexibly resolved to destroy this monster. That was precisely what my colleagues and I had tried to do before we were rendered hors de combat since 29th May, 1962. On two different occasions I was offered, first the post of Deputy Prime Minister (before May 1962), and second that of Deputy Governor-General (in August 1962), if I would agree to fold up the Opposition and join in a National Government. I declined the two offers because they were designed exclusively to gratify my self-interest, with no thought of fostering any political moral principle which could benefit the people of Nigeria. The learned Judge who presided over the Treasonable Felony Trial, commented unfavourably on my non-acceptance of one of these posts and held that my action lent weight to the case of the Prosecution against me. I must say, however, that in all conscience, I felt and still feel that a truly public-spirited person should accept public office not for what he can get for himself — such as the profit and glamour of office — but for the opportunity which it offers him of serving his people to the best of his ability, by promoting their welfare and happiness. To me, the two aforementioned posts were sinecures, and were intended to immobilise my talents and stultify the role of watch-dog which the people of Nigeria looked upon me to play on their behalf, at that juncture in our political evolution.
(c) This leads me to the third ground. From newspaper reports, it would appear that you and your colleagues — like all well-meaning Nigerians are anxious that on the termination of the present military rule, Nigeria should become a flourishing democracy. Now, democracy is a political doctrine which is very intimately dear to my heart.
It was to the end that it might be accepted as a way of life in all parts of the Federation that I campaigned most vigorously and relentlessly in the Northern Provinces of Nigeria, from 1957 to 1962, to the implacable annoyance of some of my political adversaries. It was to the end that this doctrine might survive the severe onslaught of opportunist and mercenary politics that I refused to succumb to the temptation of the National Government. Many views — some of them well-considered and respectable — have been expressed about the value or disvalue of opposition as a feature of public life in a newly emergent African State. Speaking for my party, I submit that the Opposition which I led did, to all intents and purposes, justify its existence and was acclaimed by the masses of our people as essential and indispensable to rapid- national growth.
This was so, because it was unexceptionably constructive. The abrogation of the Anglo-Nigeria Defence Pact was one of the feathers in its cap. Some of the policies which the Government of the day later adopted — such as the creation of a Federal Ministry of Agriculture and the introduction of drastic measures to correct our balance of payments deficit — were among those persistently and constructively urged by the Opposition inside and outside Parliament. The point I wish to emphasise here is that it was not out of spite or hatred for any one that I chose to remain in Opposition instead of joining the much-talked-of National Government. I did so in order to serve our people to the best of my ability in the position in which their votes had placed my Party, and to ensure that the young plant of democracy grows into a sturdy flourishing tree in Nigeria.
(d) Since the declaration of emergency in the Western Region on 29th May,1962, political tension has existed in Western Nigeria. My conviction on 11th September, 1963, together with the surrounding bizarre circumstances, has led not only to the heightening of that tension in Western Nigeria but also to its profuse and irrepressible percolation to the other parts of the Federation. The result is that it can be said, without much fear of contradiction, that today the majority of our people are passionately concerned about and fervently solicitous for the release of myself and my colleagues. The work of reconstruction on which you and your colleagues have embarked demands that all the citizens of Nigeria in their respective callings should give of their maximum best. A state of psychological tension, however much it may be brought under control or repressed, does not and cannot conduce to maximum efficiency. In spite of themselves, people labouring under emotions which this kind of tension automatically generates are bound to make avoidable mistakes which in their turn have adverse effects on national progress. It is, therefore, in the national interest that this tension should be relaxed, if possible, without further delay.
(e) A petition of this kind is, by its very nature, bound to be replete with self-adulation. I hope and trust that, in the circumstances, this is excusable. It is in this hope and trust that I assert that my colleagues and I have the qualifications and capacity to render invaluable services to our people and fatherland. Every day that we spend in prison, therefore, must be regarded as TWENTY-FOUR UNFORGIVING HOURS OF TRULY VALUABLE SERVICES LOST TO OUR YOUNG COUNTRY. Even my most inveterate enemies have given the following testimony about me: ‘AWOLOWO HAS STILL A GREAT DEAL TO GIVE TO THIS COUNTRY.’ No country however advanced and civilized can afford to waste any of its talents, be they ever so small. Nigeria is too young to bury some of her talents as she was compelled to do under the old regime. It is within your power to restore my colleagues and me to a position where our fatherland can again rejoice at the contributions which we are capable of making to its progress, welfare and happiness.
(f) Nigeria is now SIXTY-SIX MONTHS old as an independent State. The final phase in the struggle for Nigeria’s independence was initiated by my Party in the historic Self-Government motion moved by Chief Anthony Enahoro and supported by me on 31st March, 1953. IT SHOULD BE REGARDED AS MORE THAN IRONICAL, AND AS PALPABLY TRAGIC, THAT TWO OF THE ARCHITECTS OF THAT INDEPENDENCE AND, INDEED, THE PACE-SETTERS AND ACCELERATORS OF ITS FINAL PHASE SHOULD BE UNFREE IN A FREE NIGERIA. In precise terms, I have spent FORTY-SIX out of the SIXTY-SIX MONTHS of independence in one form of confinement or another. I happened to know that the leaders of the old civilian regime, in spite of themselves, did not feel quite easy in their conscience about the plight into which they had manoeuvred me in the scheme of things; and I dare to express the hope and belief that you, personally view my present confinement with concern and disapproval.
(g) It is usual — almost invariably the case — on the accession of a revolutionary regime, for political prisoners and, indeed, other prisoners of some note, to be released as a mark of disapproval of some of the doings of the old regime, or in token of the new dawn of freedom which comes in the wake of the new regime. It would be invidious to quote unspecific instances. But in the case of my colleagues and myself, by courageously and adamantly opposing the evils which your regime now denounces in the former civilian administration, I think we are perfectly justified if we expect you to regard us as being in tune with your yearnings and aspirations for Nigeria, and therefore entitled to our personal freedoms under your dispensation.
4. In view of the foregoing reasons which clearly demonstrate:
(i) that I have always and, under trying circumstances, steadfastly and unyieldingly
(a) stood for the UNITY OF NIGERIA,
(b)been opposed to POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM with its attendant evils,
(c)fostered the growth of DEMOCRACY in Nigeria;
(ii) that my incarceration:
(a) has led to the heightening of political tension among Nigerians, which tension can only be relaxed by my release, (b)has deprived our fatherland of invaluable services such as we have rendered before, and can still render now and in future, in greater measure; and
(iii) that the evils which my colleagues and I condemned and valiantly refused to compromise with in the old civilian government are what you now quite rightly denounce, and are taking active steps to remove in order to pave the way for national and beneficial reconstruction, I most sincerely appeal to you to be good enough to exercise, in favour of myself and my colleagues, the prerogative of mercy vested in you by Section 10 (I) (i) (a) of the Constitution of the Federation Act 1963, by granting me as well as each of my colleagues A FREE PARDON. If you do, your action will be most warmly, heartily, and popularly applauded at home and abroad, and you will go down to history as soldier, statesmen, and humanitarian.
Yours truly,
OBAFEMI AWOLOWO.

CultureYoruba Leadership And The “aole” Curse by philkay(op): 7:34pm On Jul 20, 2017
Among Yoruba people, one hears a lot these days about what is called “the Aole curse”. It refers to certain traditions concerning one late 18th century Alaafin of Oyo (the old Oyo-Ile, the center of the Oyo Empire – and not today’s Oyo).
Awole was crowned as Alaafin of Oyo-Ile in 1789, and he ruled until 1796. The tradition about the “Aole curse”, as described by Samuel Johnson in his History of the Yorubas and by various other traditions,is that in Aole’s last day, before he committed suicide, he brought out the ancient palace totems and pronounced curses on his chiefs who had deserted him, saying that, as they had left him without support and isolated, they would never have unity among them.
In modern times, Yoruba people have, from time to time, had occasions to talk about this “Aole curse”. Whenever Yoruba leaders fail to give the Yoruba people the kind of leadership that the Yoruba people are used to, and whenever Yoruba leaders fail to attend to what Yoruba people regard as crucially important to the Yoruba Nation, it is usual to start hearing our people talk about the “Aole curse”.
But I always point to them that the Yoruba people had a leader in the person Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who is still very revered up till today that some politicians in the south west use his picture with theirs on campaign materials, but these people would budge and they remind me of the western region crisis between Awolowo and Samuel Akintola. It was particularly loudly heard during the 1962-66 crisis when the leadership of the Yoruba Nation, in the Western Region, fractured into fragments and brought a lot of suffering into their people’s lives.
Today, the Yoruba Nation cannot point to one person and say as their leader, even though most Yoruba people will readily concede that their own State Governments are more orderly, more purposeful, and more achieving than most other State Governments in Nigeria, they are nevertheless worried that their governments and political leaders are failing to unite to attend to a number of unique challenges facing the Yoruba Nation in Nigeria today.
A friend reminded me that the Yorubas are gradually becoming like the Igbos who do not have a particular voice that speaks on their behalf and a special class of people who do not like being lord over, every Igbo man wants to be a man of his own.
For instance, they are worried that, as the Yoruba homeland is being invaded by crudely disrespectful outsiders, Yoruba governments and politicians appear to have no interest in the matter, but are focused only on winning elections, and that those who qualify to be relied upon as elders of the nation are not doing anything either but are confusedly messing around with the politics of the politicians. In short, noise about the Aole curse has become a barometer to gage anxiety levels among the Yoruba people.
So, what is the essence of this thing called the “Aole curse”? What kind of person was Aole? The traditions say of him that he was a tall and handsome man, but that, on the whole, he was a terribly wrong choice for the throne of the Alaafin. The one important thing we know about him as a prince is that he was a long-distance trader who traded often from Oyo-Ile to the Apomu market (in the Ife kingdom) and to the Ijebu country.
One story about him at that time paints him as a very crooked person indeed. According to this story, he once hired a close friend of his to help lead his caravan of porters to Apomu. When they arrived at Apomu, he went secretly to some slave traders, and offered to sell his friend as a slave to them. The bargain was struck, Aole received payment, and the slave traders went and grabbed his friend and bound and gagged him for the journey through the Ijebu country to the coast where they would sell him to slave ships going to the Americas. But, fortunately for the poor man, Apomu police officials came to the scene, released him and went to arrest Aole. Aole was then brought before the Baale of Apomu, and the Baale had him seriously punished.
Many years later, Aole became the Alaafin in Oyo-Ile, and the first thing he decided to do was to send the Oyo army to go and destroy Apomu in order to punish the Baale in retaliation. Now, attacking a town in the Ife kingdom was a horrible thing to even think of – because of ancient Yoruba taboos prohibiting attack by any Yoruba kingdom on any part of the Ife kingdom. Horrified, the Oyo military chiefs led the army out in obedience, but they deliberately slowed down along the road, so as not to reach Apomu. Meanwhile the Bale of Apomu fled to the Ooni’s palace in Ile-Ife. A terrible crisis arose.
After a day or two in Ile-Ife, the Baale of Apomu had second thoughts. He decided that he would not bear the abominable responsibility of being the cause of war between Ife and Oyo-Ile. So he returned to Apomu, announced to his chiefs that he would end the crisis by committing suicide, and instructed them to take his head to Oyo-Ile to appease the Alaafin.
Aole was indeed appeased. But he had left a lot of his chiefs alarmed and dissatisfied. And even more than that, the chiefs quickly found that this man had no qualities of a king. He could not trust anybody or have any loyalty to anybody. He never did anything out of pure motives. He was always scheming and twisting things.
Even when he gave public honours to people, he would immediately begin to undercut them. He was fond of saying bad things about every one of his chiefs behind their back. In every situation, he tried to use his sacred and ritual powers as Alaafin to intimidate those who did not immediately agree with him. Therefore he frequently brought out the ancient palace totems and used them to curse people even over minor issues. Most Alaafins before him hardly ever touched those totems, but he used them often. His six years as Alaafin were filled with crises. At last his chiefs applied the traditional Yoruba remedy by asking him to go to sleep. That is when he brought out the totems one last time to curse his chiefs.
Now, I wonder how the inability of the Yoruba people to collective have a leader will be deduced as a result of a curse by one useless king who was nothing but a tyrant and a power drunk irresponsible man who maneuvered his way to the throne. He was no great king! It is therefore a sad irony of history that the Yoruba people have now glamourised the story of Aole, and tend to hold him up as a great king who cursed the whole yoruba nation in some justified rage. It is inappropriate to assume that that dishonourable man cursed the whole of yoruba nation.
In conclusion, the reason why the Yoruba people do not have a national leader now is all borne out of politics, personal interests first. That is why the Afenifere group is no longer as formidable and respected as it was and it seldom speak the minds of the Yoruba people. Severally they have rejected calls to make Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the leader of the Yoruba people and they have also done same to the suggestion that Chief Olusegun Obasanjo could be. The quest for a Yoruba leader continues when it will end, we don’t know.

Hello, Nairalanders,

I'm really confused on the issue of paying tithe. Its my first job at 22. I'm a very religious person and that's why I need to sample opinions if I only have to pay tithe in Church.

I know a particular guy who runs an NGO that pays the fees of school kids from poor homes. I offered to sponsor this humanitarian venture. The funds I plan to put into it will be my monthly tithe.

Simple meaning: I will not pay tithe in church. Rather I'll take the exact 10% and support this guy.

Is it proper? Should I only pay tithe in church? Please advise maturely.

Shalom!
in my opinion, go ahead

pls use several translations and study MALACHI CHAPTER 3.... so you understand... CHILDREN DO NOT REPRESENT GOD.... If God instructed tithe then Give it to God. You may be religious but it is clear you do not know your bible as you should o... bros don't give to man what you should give to God... God is jealous o. TITHE IS NOT A CHURCH DONATION o.
so if he gives it to Church, it shows that he is giving it to God. my guy church is not God.

Foreign AffairsGhana’s Ex-president Kufuor Is Dead by philkay(op): 9:00pm On Nov 15, 2016
Mr. John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor, the former civilian President of Ghana, is dead. He died in Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday morning following surgical operation on his spine. According New Mail, quoting Reuters, Kufuor was flown to South Africa to receive medication after complaining bitterly about an excruciating pain at the spinal cord. A team of doctors were said to have conducted a second surgical operation on Mr Kufuor’s spine; but unfortunately he passed away just after 45 minutes of the Surgery. Though it’s obvious to provisionally attribute his sudden demise to the spinal problem, doctors have assured the public they will soon release autopsy report to ascertain the real cause. An autopsy will fully confirm the cause of his death, but the best guess at the moment is the spinal problem. Today is a sad day, Mr Kufuor’s death has come as a big shock to his party members and the entire Ghanaian Community, as Ghana is just on the verge of undergoing electoral exercises. John Kofi Agyekum Kufuor born 8 December 1938 was a retired Ghanaian politician and statesman who served as President of Ghana from 2001 to 2009. He was also Chairperson of the African Union from 2007 to 2008. His victory over John Atta Mills after the end of Jerry Rawlings’ second term marked the first peaceful democratic transition of power in Ghana since independence in 1957.

PoliticsBREAKING!!! Buhari Donated $500m To Clinton’s Campaign – US Group by philkay(op): 7:14am On Nov 13, 2016
A US non governmental group, the American Black Group for Democracy has revealed that the Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari’s government plunged $500Million (About N150Billion) into the failed Hillary Clinton electioneering campaign fund.They added that the donation may create a huge misunderstanding between Nigeria and the incoming Trump’s US government. The Nigeria integrity challenged President, wasted no time in releasing the funds he reportedly pledged to the US secretary of states, Sen John Kerry and US Ambassador in Abuja to support of Mrs Clinton election. President Buhari an Islamist fundamentalist, have a visible hatred for Mr Donald Trump, especially when the US president elect allegedly made some statement which the Nigerian president sources claimed is demeaning and a threat to the Islamic faith. The Obama government, which Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of States frustrated the Nigerian former government’s war against the Islamist terror group, Boko haram and blocked every source of sourcing arms against the terrorists. The US group saw Buhari’s donation as an appreciation or a pay back to the the Obama’s government that frustrated Nigerian government under Goodluck Jonathan in all front and used threats and intimidation to kick scare Jonathan out of office. They added that Mr Kerry’s frequent visit to Northern Nigerian may not be unconnected to the process to release the funds, as Buhari later quickly mobilized some Northern elders and his party governors of Northern inner circle, helped to facilitate a quick and secret ferrying of the money with secured Presidential Fiat. The defeat of Hillary Clinton was received as a great shock by the Nigerian government, that was help to power by the polices of Mrs Clinton as secretary of state and the $500m donation is now a failed project that my be investigated by the Trump government. Left alone, President Buhari should not have congratulated Donald Trump because of the animosity he bears for the American. It took the intervention and criticism of Nigerians to force President Buhari to congratulate the US President elect, Mr Donald Trump, as the Nigerian Seat of government was thrown into turmoil when it became certain that Trump has defeated Buhari’s favoured candidate, Mrs Clinton. All the world leaders including those from Africa made a straight phone call to congratulate Mr Donald Trump, but President Buhari battling the fact that the incoming US government is aware of his hefty financial support to their opponent (Clinton) developed cold feet and choose to congratulate Trump through a twitter post. Nigerians were shocked about this revelation that Buhari was busy funding a US presidential candidate, while millions of Nigerians are starving to death as a result of the recession caused by his clueless and directionless economic policies. Nine months ago it was reported that the reckless spending Nigerian leader, Buhari spent billions of Naira on his favoured candidate in the Niger republic presidential election, Mahamadou Issoufou who was going for re-election, in a neighbouring West African country. President Buhari’s pictures were displayed side by side to that of the presidential candidate, Mahamadou Issoufou in campaign materials.
