Symbols of the Video

The video starts off with a close-up of Kanye West with glow-in-the-dark eyes, as if he was “illuminated” from within. He stands between an infinite row of Ionic columns, which represent “wisdom” in Masonic symbolism.

Two Pillars

As regular readers of this site already know, the occult meaning of the twin pillars is ancient, profound and present in the symbolism of almost all mystery schools of History. There are many layers of interpretation attributed to the two columns, but one constant is always present: The pillars represent the entrance – the gateway – to the world of the initiate. Behind the columns can be found the key to the Mysteries and, consequently, the source of true power. This concept has been used for in many cultures and schools of thought.

    The two columns called the “Pillars of Hercules” in Ancient Greece stood at the gateway to the sphere of the enlightened

    “The city of the philosophic elect rises from the highest mountain peak of the earth, and here the gods of the wise dwell together in everlasting felicity. In the foreground are the symbolic pillars of Hercules which appear on the title page of Bacon’s Novum Organum, and between them runs the path which leads upward from the uncertainties of earth to that perfect order which is established in the sphere of the enlightened. “
    - Manly P. Hall

    Two pillars leading to Jacob’s Ladder in this Masonic tracing board

    Masonic initiate standing between the twin pillars as the third pillar, in the same fashion as Kanye West in the video.

In Power, Kanye is standing at the mouth of the gateway to the “sphere of the enlightened,” right at the border of the corrupt and decadent material world. So, right from the start of the video, the director reveals the true nature of power in this world: It is not your democratically elected officials, but those who consider themselves to be behind those pillars. One of the most significant lines of the song is

“In this white man’s world, we the ones chosen”

Does Kanye’s “white man’s world” refer to the hidden rulers, the Illuminati, who are hidden behind those pillars? Did they choose Kanye West and give him Power by permitting him to become an influential figure in the entertainment industry? Was he chosen to become one of them? The next symbol might shed some light into this.
Horus

    Horus pendant on Kanye’s chain

The next thing that catches the viewer’s eye is most probably that gigantic chain with Horus’ head as a pendant. Horus is an ancient Egyptian deity that has an extreme importance in occult mysteries. Considered to be the Sky god, he is more often represented with the symbol of a single eye.  The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities, in this case from Horus or Ra.

    “Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, was called “Horus who rules with two eyes.” His right eye was white representing the sun while his left eye was black representing the moon. According to Egyptian legend Horus lost his left eye during a fight with his murderous uncle, Seth, to revenged his father’s death. Seth tore out his nephew’s eye but lost the fight because the assembly of the gods declared Horus the victor. The eye was reassembled by the magic of Thoth. Then Horus gave the eye to Osiris who experienced rebirth in the underworld.”
    - Jordan Michael, Encyclopedia of Gods

    Horus, god of the sky

The importance of the “one-eye” in occult symbolism has been highlighted in many articles on The Vigilant Citizen. The All-Seeing Eye found on the Great Seal of the United States and many other occult symbols originate from the Eye of Horus.

    The Eye of Horus as depicted by the Golden Dawn Mystery School

The symbolism of Horus is especially of great importance in Freemasonry, as the path of an initiate through the Masonic degrees is described as the process by which the Eye of Horus is opened.

So Kanye stands at the gateway between the corrupt world of the profane and the exclusive world of the illuminated, wearing a Horus pendant, an unmistakable symbol of the Mysteries. One might say: “Well maybe Kanye just likes Egyptian things.” Maybe so, but in the context of this video, where all details are important and extremely meaningful, Horus becomes another piece of this symbolic puzzle.
Horned Girls

The entrance of the gateway of pillars is guarded by two horned albino girls holding a staff. Their features are very reminiscent of depictions of Isis and Hathor, goddesses of ancient Egypt. Another allusion to Egyptian magic.

    Kanye standing between two horned female figures

    Isis and Hathor crowning Queen Nefertari. Both goddesses were depicted with bovine horns on their heads.

Isis was the mother of Horus (discussed above) and was the goddess of motherhood, nature and magic. Hathor was also considered as a maternal deity while also being the goddess of music, dance and fertility. Both Isis and Hathor were known to welcome and protect the dead during their journey to the afterlife, a concept that is particularly interesting in the context of the video.

    Hathor holding a sceptre with Pharaoh Ramses II

    “The goddess (Hathor) [, ] manifests two aspects of her divine power: first of all, she participates in the afterlife rite of passage, by means of which the deceased attains eternal life, and, second, she demonstrates her special connection to the Egyptian king. Hathor is rightly called a royal goddess, and in this role she is linked in various ways to the life of the pharaoh. Often the pharaoh would call himself the oldest son of Hathor.”
    -  Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism

Kanye, perhaps symbolizing the Pharaoh, is standing at the gateway to eternal wisdom, about to be executed/assassinated/sacrificed under the watchful eyes of Hathor, the “royal goddess.” Are the goddesses welcoming Kanye “behind the veil,” protecting him in this rite of passage to immortality? In occult circles, new candidates must symbolically die and be reborn to complete their initiation process. Is Kanye being killed an allegory for his initiation?
Sword of Damocles

    Sword hanging above Kanye West’s head

While doing some preliminary research on this video, I came across an article on MTV.com titled Kanye West’s ‘Power’ Video: A Cultural Cheat Sheet. Here’s what it says about the sword hanging above his head:

    “Dragonlance: An image of a sword descending into a crown hovers over Kanye’s head, bringing to mind Volume Two of Douglas Niles’ series “The Crown and the Sword: The Rise of Solamnia,” in which Sir Jaymes Markham commands the orders of the Rose, Sword and Crown.”
    - Kanye West’s ‘Power’ Video: A Cultural Cheat Sheet, MTV.com

Really? The director of this neo-classical themed video, was inspired by an obscure fantasy novel released in, like, 2006? Seriously? Good job, MTV, in keeping our youth clueless. The descending sword is more probably a reference to the Sword of Damocles, a pretty widely known legend.

    Wenceslas Hollar’s depiction of the Sword of Damocles

    “The Damocles of the anecdote was an obsequious courtier in the court of Dionysius II of Syracuse, a fourth century BC tyrant of Syracuse. Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power and authority, Dionysius was truly fortunate. Dionysius offered to switch places with him for a day, so he could taste first hand that fortune. In the evening a banquet was held where Damocles very much enjoyed being waited upon like a king. Only at the end of the meal did he look up and notice a sharpened sword hanging directly above his head by a single horse-hair. Immediately, he lost all taste for the fine foods and beautiful girls and asked leave of the tyrant, saying he no longer wanted to be so fortunate.

    Dionysius had successfully conveyed a sense of the constant fear in which the great man lives. Cicero uses this story as the last in a series of contrasting examples for reaching the conclusion he had been moving towards in this fifth Disputation, in which the theme is that virtue is sufficient for living a happy life. Cicero asks “Does not Dionysius seem to have made it sufficiently clear that there can be nothing happy for the person over whom some fear always looms?”

    - Source

The tale of the Sword epitomizes the constant danger faced by those in positions of power. Kanye stands there, in a state of  impending doom, knowing he can be executed at any time. Right after we see the sword of Damocles, a figure appears holding a dagger and attempting to stab him. The assassination will not happen by dagger, however, as two other figures leap out of nowhere holding swords to accomplish the “Killing of the King.”
Killing of the King – The Initiation

Ritual initiation represented in a display of geometry and symmetry

At the ending of the video,  the decadent women and the dagger-holding assassins all disappear as two swords are about to hit him. Are we sacrificing the King?

The concept of regicide is reflected in the single’s cover art. It depicts Kanye’s severed, crowned head with a sword firmly jammed into it. Apparently Kanye was king and he got killed. Is this a symbol for a Masonic ritual? Note the stone on which Kanye’s head is placed. Is it the “perfect ashlar” of the Masons that represents the state of a perfected initiate?

    Covert art of Power portraying the killing of Kanye West as a king.

    A perfect ashlar in a Masonic lodge. In Masonic symbolism, the candidates start their journeys as allegorical “rough ashlars” and, through knowledge and wisdom, smooth out their edges in order to become a perfect ashlar.

Some occult researchers have stated that the “Killing of the King” is the name of a Masonic rite of passage to obtain the 33rd degree (see “King Kill 33″ by James Shelby Downard & Michael A. Hoffman II). Semi-interesting sidenote: King Kill 33 is also the name of a Marilyn Mason song, with rather interesting lyrics. Another sidenote: Researchers have reported that  Killing of the King rites often happens in public, as more witnesses give more power to the ritual, hence … JFK. A completely crazy theory?… DYR (Do your research).

Back to Kanye and his standing … the two swords flying towards him never actually touch him but instead form a triangular shape above his head, possibly hinting to a “symbolic” killing and not an actual one. Notice the position of the crown above Kanye’s head. The combination of those elements form an interesting image.

    Masonic Square and Compass


In Conclusion

To sum up the the video, Kanye stands at the border between Masonic knowledge and the decadence of the mundane life, represented by lustful and gluttonous women, lounging around eating grapes. Kanye says “goodbye cruel world / I see you in the morning“, as he has been “chosen” to take part in an initiation process that is often metaphorically described as a “long night,” followed by a glorious awakening as a new being. In order to accomplish this, Kanye needs to kill his old self and be ritualistically reborn. Once this is done, true power is within his grasp.

This “moving painting” is definitely a multi-layered artwork, with many levels of interpretation: the first level is a commentary on power by using timeless symbols taken from ancient art; the second level describes a Masonic initiation with a ritual murder and an imminent rebirth.

This video lasts a mere minute and forty-three seconds but it manages to give the viewers plenty to ponder on and many symbols to decode. Looking at its meaning from a pop culture point of view, it is interesting to note that this short-film, intended to be viewed by the general public (especially young people), describes the concept of power with overt Masonic symbolism and occult references. This causes the uninformed viewers to unconsciously associate those symbols with the concept of Power, while “those in the know” get the “insider’s wink” sent by this video. Power ultimately becomes another piece in the on-going process called the “Revelation of the Method,” where the true source of power gradually and subliminally reveals itself to the world and occult rituals take place right in front of the public’s eyes.

How long before the complete revelation?

“The clock’s tickin’ / I just count the hours”

The gross domestic product (GDP) or gross domestic income (GDI) is a measure of a country's overall official economic output. It is the market value of all final goods and services officially made within the borders of a country in a year. It is often positively correlated with the standard of living,[1] though its use as a stand- in for measuring the standard of living has come under increasing criticism and many countries are actively exploring alternative measures to GDP for that purpose.

Now going by the explanation and my understanding of the definition of GDP, I don't see how Imo(which happens to be my homestate), Oyo( which is still basking in its past glories, in reality, the state has no real viable economy), how then could it have come up tops, let alone occupying the 4th position, all these states almost do not ve any economy one can associate them with. Delta state obviously is soaking in oil wealth that explains her position, Imo state, makes rubbish of the stats, Imo state almost does not produce anything yet it is directly below Oyo- a badly managed state. . Scheeew. . This stats is very mediocre in every ramification. What exactly were the criteria used cos obviously the stats is not a reflection of the realities.
Seriously speaking, if we were to go by states' economic size, output, expenditure and per capital income, the only state that could ve beaten Anambra to it is Lagos state. I ve been live in Owerre for over 5yrs now and I make bold to say, Imo state does not ve any real viable economy besides its tourism and service sector. Onitsha still has the biggest market in the whole of west Africa, Main Market. The economic activities that go on in that market alone are bigger than the whole economies of delta, Imo and Edo state, let alone the whole of onitsha or Anambra state. Anambra state almost as many industries as Lagos, if you doubt me, go to Nnewi, Onitsha,Awka just to mention a few. Anambra is not just commerce as many ppl think, they ve industries as well, they have the 3rd largest bank branches. Per capital income, Anamberians have the best spread of income, that is a fact, it is just not a case of the bulk of the wealth being in the hands of a few, wealth is almost evenly spread.

What? I thought this guy defected to APGA a month ago? Is there no provision in the constitution that prevent rogue politicians from this kind of erratic shifting of party allegiance. Theodor has lost all the goodwill the ppl of abia state had for him, to him is all about winning at any cost. And let's stop kidding ourselves, who will take sb like him serious for presidency when the likes of Fashola can easily swing votes from any part of the country to their side. Am realy so angry at the way ppl do politics in this country.

Seriously, Nairaland don dey cast, gone are the days one will come online here and engage in intelligent debates. Now all I see are riff-raffs who probably do not have anything intelligent to say but to spew their guts here. I ve noticed that all the very mature guys both igbo and yorubas are gradually leaving this forum to more mature and well managed Nigerian forums. Seun, you and your host of petty moderators had better do sth quick cos if this trend continues like this, the only direction your hardwork will go is down, down and down. There is hardly any section of NL that is not rife with pettiness and excessively uninteresting ppl. Anyway, na you Saka sha!

Up till 2day, I can't believe I actually watched OC i.e Orange County up to season 3. . Scheeew. . The characters there are just annoying, from that mumu gurl they call Sara to the idiotic Seth cohen, geez. . Which kind Ode be that guy sef, abi na that im gf wey dey gist like 2yrz old. . .the most annoying is that ungrateful thug they call Ryan. Every time I see that guy I just want to shove down my fist down his ungrateful throat. !diot that was saved from jail term and poverty does not even show any streak of being grateful, just acts like sb owes him shiit. . Scheeew. . Whoever directed that movie needs to contact Zeb ejiro to help him put some emotions in his character coz obviously he does not know how to use the enormous resources in his disposal and that ryan guy is the worse actor to use for that role. . .worse sitcom i have ever seen. . .and imagine I ve it up to season 3. . Damn Me!

Siena:
I'm going to throw the cat amongst the pigeons here.

My wife is the most important person in my life. She's the mother of my child. My mother brought me up, yes, but her position and role changed, when I got married, and of course, my wife took over the role, to some degree. If I have problems, naturally, I'd go first to my wife, before my mum.

Myself and my wife are currently the most important people in our daughter's life right now. Obviously, when she gets married, I'd expect our positions, and priorities to change, and will not begrudge my daughter putting her husband first - as a matter of fact, I'd actively encourage it.

Different folk, different strokes, I guess.

. . . .how long have U been married Mr?
E be like say love still dey shark you like beer. . . Anyway, goodluck with the putting mum in the last sit, that is so unselfish of you, very thoughtful and greatful. But let me ask you this, God forbids sth happens to the marriage and the woman divorces you, where will you now put mummy? Huh? I guez mum will now assume the no1 until the next woman comes and displaces her in a space a couple of months. . . Great guy! I believe you are every gold digger's dream and every mum's night. . .

Even monkey sef go claim I no fit marry soldiers. . . Anyway, it depends, I can marry a career officer that knows her priorities and wont question my authority as a man. However, a female recruite in the army? No way! Those are your stereotypical male looking female soldiers, who wants that kinda headache. Anyway, reminds of the sitcom Army's Wife.

[size=14pt]I know BA has in excess of 1000 Aeroplanes, Virgin Atlantic is no where near BA but I would not be over exergerating in saying they have in excess of 300 planes. Yet Mr Ibrahim  whose total planes would be 10 by the end of August thinks he is bigger than Branson. Bigger in what sense probably manhood-wise,  blackmen have always being known to be well endowed, on that basis I agree with Messers Jimoh Ibrahim.  [/size]

. . .hehehehe. . I think he could ve made his statement without sounding so angry at Branson. Branson is very influential not just in the Nigerian aviation industry but in many countries, a man that is wealthy to the tune of billion pounds definitely aint a small fry. Ibrahim too is very wealthy in his own rights, he is got his hands in many businesses from 5 star hotels, oil and gas, manufacturing to now aviation, he definitely aint a small fry either. No need for the braggadocio

Like seriously, people can be very funny the way they rush to believe things without reasoning.
First, do you know what Jesus looks like? Is he white, black, Yellow or Asian? The so-called apparition ve been an illusion or project image of a reflection. . .na wa O. .

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=490933.msg6530713#msg6530713 date=1281191413]Naija women like being deceived sha, a good Mother always comes first and that is the uncomfortable non-negotiable truth, hence poll after poll after poll will tell you this. And for some men too, the children come second.


Blood is thicker. . .God ordained the Mum as the vessel to give him life . . . the woman is just his helpmeet, a means to an end, in summary,  wifey is just the caretaker whilst the Mum is the landlord/owner [/quote]. . . You make me wanna be you a Gucci bag with your bluntness. . LoL. . Lets quit playing with the scissors and shiit and cut the crap. All these people commenting on how your wife should be above your mother are not taking into cognizance that this is not an ideal world. Very few men would sit tell their wife what is going on in their head cos most of the times, they are misunderstood by their wives when they eventually let it out.
I remember when I was a very lil boy, my dad would say to me and my twin bro, don't tell a woman everything cos you will regret in the long run, just tell her what she needs/wants to know. Then I used to think damn, that is unfair, if we realy love each other why not? I started understanding the implication of his assertion when I started mixing up very well with the opposite sex, they were often too willing to give unsolicited advice and most often than not shoot in the wrong direction when you tell em sth.
Imagine a man coming back home and telling his wife that his new secetary is a very fine and charming young college student. The woman would lose all sanity and even press for her to be removed or there will be war homefront. . . I know this is a bit diversionary but am just tryinna paint you a picture of many a marriage and why most often than not wives are not neccessarily the most important people to their husbands.

Same ol, same ol shiithead Ghanaians. Like I said before bennyboy, dont you find it curious that she has no Ghanaian name to identify her with?
People ve the write to choose what they want to be identified with and honestly, for Yvonne Chinyere Okoro to go by these names without incoperating a Ghanaian name in the list says a lot about her identity.
And lemme advise you bennyboy, I know you are itching to come clean about your intentions, all these subliminals are not helping your case, like Eminem would say: QUIT PLAYIN WITH THE SCISSORS AND SHIIT AND CUT THE CRAP! You guys leave your Ghanaweb and Co only to come on here, pretend to be Nigerians and then take your turns in bad mouthing everything that is Nigerian. No matter how hard you Ghanaians try to be unbiased, you lots just can't take your hands off the cookie jar. You can ask Shesi and Co how we caught em knickers down tryinna slip a candy bar thinking yeah we are being fooled, he even went as far as addressing himself with pronounce like "We" Nigerians and such. I know my country men are loud mouthed and can criticize emselves in the most demeaning way but I can still spot a Ghanaian from a 100 mile spewing hokum incognito. So don't even start with stereotype shiit coz you bunch are dsame; self-righteous, never-do-wrong, xenephobics that are not satisfied with trash talking abt Nigeria and Nigerians on your sites. Mehn! I couldn't care less what happens to lil Ghana or what that boring as$ Ghanaweb is all about but I wonder why you Charlie boys even bother coming here on your white horse and try to be the knights in shinning armours. Like is it neccessary? Or does it give you guys an ego boost? Mehn I tire O!

You Ghanaians and your self-righteousness, who gives an "F" what you are here for? You bunch are same ol, same ol. . .always looking for an avenue to talk abt yourselves in a way that puts otherz in a bad light. I would not ve known you were Ghanaian if you had not shown your streaks. I saw your demeaning response to Londoner's statement that she was half Nigerian, you made it sound like she was making a wild guess with no factual basis. Or don't you find it curious that inspite of your claim, she has no Ghanaian name to her names? Instead she chose an English name and an Igbo name ( which is Nigerian) plus her surname which is also igbo. Why wont any Nigerian have problem with a report that addresses her as wholly Ghanaian yet she has Nigerian names and no Ghanaian names? And to answer your question about Nadia Buari, I say it is Ok to address her as a Ghanaian as long as it is Ok to address Yvonne Chinyere Okoro as a Nigerian-Ghanaian, am sure Nadia wont deny her other lineage when push turns to shove. Now go to sleep and stop taking panadole for sb else's headache. . . Na wa for all these charly boys sef!

Seriously, a lot of the ladies here scolding the man for what he said are taking this grieving man's statement out of context and do not truely understand the implication of that. The question of Love and importance are mutually exclusive, I could love sb very darely and do anything they ask me to yet they are not the most important person in my life. The most important person in my life is one who has greatly influenced me and has the greatest effect and value in my life. This features and values are sth that take time to develope, they don't just happen, and not even a pang of emotional fits can change that. That is why even in marriage, over time spouses re-organize their priorities gradually and that is why I contend that our spouses may not neccessarily be the most important person in our lives, it is sth that takes time to develope. Most important person in my life does not only ve to do alone with the fact that we are married else, we could accommadate our kids too in that regard. Infact, the statement is more ambiguous than the wife understood before reeling off. . . That man made the most honest comment that could ve served as an opportunity for the woman to take that level of importance in his life but she blew it by jerking off in the wrong direction. I mean couldn't put you above my mum when we are just 2yr into our marriage, COME OOON!

SA lady
And yet again, the man has been misquoted for the umpteenth time, he did not say "woman", he said "person". The wife was just being a typical !diot plain and simple. She is not the only öne entitled to that position you know?

Bennyboy11:
There is nothing to be won just a point to be made. There is a difference between gene and nationality which I think again you've missed entirely. It would be silly of her to deny her Nigerian connection not least because she has fans on both sides and it would not only be commercially naive to do so, but also uncalled for.

If you had followed the posts it would have put everything into context. You are the one coming up with unnecessary unrelated comments about scamming and pushing and Ghanaians claiming and not claiming which if I had stooped low would have ultimately ended up in the usual Ghana vs. Nigeria rubbish which I certainly don’t subscribe to, and by the way it indicates the pettiness of your thinking.

The points I made are very relevant and demonstrate the legitimacy of my initial comment but obviously it is completely wasted on you.

Seriously, am trying so hard not to call you an !diot with your unneccessary combativeness and pettiness.
You are not making any sense with your dilly-dallies.When I jokingly said she had okoro blood in her veins, it was a metaphor for her Nigerian lineage. I was not talking abt any "Nigerian gene" like you stupidly alluded, I was actually telling you that she has Nigerian Lineage as well since you wont admit it. And your arguement is seriously flawed, if I were to go by Ur jejune arguement; An American kid that has lived in Nigerian for say 30yrz and aquires many of their social idiosyncracies ceases to be an American coz she can no longer fit into the "American social circles" even though she and her parents are Americans. Your arguement is plain BS. . . People are free to identify themselves with any nationality not neccessarily because they were born and raised there alone, family ties, race and tribe all contribute. That is why you ve African Americans whom mostly ve never been to Africa but still see themselves as both Africans and Americans.
You can keep arguing blindly all day but that does not take away the fact that she is Nigerian-Ghanaian and there is nothing you can do abt that. . . Geeze what a piece of . . .

Nothing is as annoying as coming back home to relax and see a good sitcom only to run into Ur elder sister glued to the chair with the remote glue to her palms and her fixated on the TV watching that endless "Lost" or that facking equally endless cartoon they call "Naruto". . . Am always like, duh are you realy following this $hitcoms??

chaircover:
Ok Mr Brown J,  I hear you but please can I say it again one more time . . . .I have never said that the wife is more important than the mother.

What I am saying is that there is no comparsm between the 2 relationships,  and the guy saying what he said just opened up a Pandora’s box and as the man of the house I think he could have been a little more tactful in his choice of words and wifey too should have been a little more understanding & looked at the wider picture and not to take much offence at the words of a grieving man.

. . . Slow your roll sista, the man obviously did not compare his mum to his wife or anyone else. The woman made it a thing of comparison and that is where I ve a problem with the insensitive wife. I mean, how could she ve thoughtlessly pit herself against her husband's mother? It is manipulative to even start with. And by the way, just because you are my wife, it does not neccessarily mean you must be the most important person in my life. As far as that claim is concerned, it is open to debate, if she feels the need to be the most important person in my life then she will ve to earn it. Dont just think because we get laid 2gether, mother my kids and take care of the house from the money that I give you, you automatically will become the most important shiit in my life since slice bread. Those are very common stuff I could pay any woman to get, there has to be sth very exceptional besides the fact that we are in matrimony, sth that these days is not even sacred, with all the pre-nuptial agreement and shiit and yet you want to be the no1 in my life. . .

You are the one who is mistaking concept here, whether she was born in Ghana or not does not erase the fact that she has dual identity, it is in the right order to say she is half Nigerian and Ghanaian simple. All that long epistle abt gene and nationality is unneccessary, it does not erase the fact that one her parents is Nigerian and for her to still identify with that tells that even though she lives in Ghana, she is well informed and aware of her other root (nigeria) and identifies with it.
Get over yourself and stop arguing like there is some point to be won if she were entirely Ghana.

Bennyboy,
Apparently, Londoner has punctured your soufflé, you seem to have developed blisters in the mouth obviously caused by Londoner ramming the unpalatable fact down your throat through your running mouth.
If there is anyone that has complexes coz they are Ghanaian, it is you. That lady has some Okoro blood flowing in her veins plus her surname is Okoro. . LOL. . .can't get any Nigerian than that. . Hahahaha. . If she did not identify with her dual identity, I am sure she woulda dropped those pretty Nigerian names. Take it or Leave it the gal na OKORO, Nwa afor, infact, this gal is "so it mehn", she makes me want to buy her a meal of FUFU and Ofe Owerri!

Haba Prof Rhymz this grammer too  much for me o! 

But since you asked a direct question, if I was the wife, I will wait until bedtime, then jokingly ask him to repeat that statement he made a few days ago 

Honestly I have learnt to find humour in most things but we all cant be the same, hence the reason maybe why this woman didnt see the funny side.

. . Well, as long as the question remains in bed, you will surely get the answer you want to hear. A man can say anything in the throes of passion and love-making. But seriously, why should you ask your husband to clarify his statement? Don't you find such a question jejune and unnecessary? It is sth a kid should worry about; "Dad loves kevin than me". . . Questions like that create bad blood in the family, I wont take it likely if my wife ( when I eventually get married)

Rhymz I do agree that the wife shouldn’t have made an issue out of it, She should have known that her hubby loves her too and was only expressing his grief at the time, however the husband is not blameless in his choice of words and set himself up for trouble the moment he uttered them. Let’s look at it this way; if he hadn’t said what he said then the woman wouldn’t have had any cause or reason to raise her eyebrows; well not at this reason anyway.

Now to the wider comments you made, yes your wife cannot do certain things that your mum can do, so too can your mum not do certain things that your wife does & can do. Both mother and wife have their separate places, however both clamouring for your love so it is a good idea to know how to keep both sides sweet and without avoidable conflict.

I believe that the husband could have said a lot of other things to express his grief at the loss of someone so dear to him, but that single one statement that he made in front of his wife wasn’t the cleverest thing he could have come up with under the circumstances.

So lemme get you darling, I am supposed to moderate the importance of my mother when am talking about her in the presence of my wife. That is so hypocritical, of course it is presumptuous of any woman to expect me to cut down on the encomium I lavish on my mum, it shows she does not respect and recognize the importance of my mum in my life. Whatever I say about my mum whether exaggerated or not should not be used as a yardstick to measure your own importance as my wife in my life- my mother is my mother and if actually I am convinced that she is the most important person in my life, so be it, it should not be contended or viewed as a yardstick for comparison. If everyone is to get edgy over hyperbolic statements such as that then may be my father or my Childrien are entitled to such a frivolous outburst.
If I were the wife, I would rather see the statement as an opportunity to strengthen our relationship and make him feel that even if she can't be your mum she can try and may be one day, I would ve the cause to say, my wife is the most important person in my life.

The Fact she feels the need to make a fuss over the fact that I made an emotional statement to express my sadness for the demise of my mum is what I find annoying. It is like my father getting annoyed because I am fond of my mum than him, of course he knows I love him too and would do anything for him even as much as I would my mum. Asking stupid question like; "so what am I? Second most important?" is very immature, insensitive and ignorant. If I did not love her in the first place, marriage would not ve come up. And if you want to pit yourself against my mother then I will let you know that you ve not done and can't do half of what she has done for me, there would ve been no me without her. Nothing is as annoying as your spouse making manipulative statements to make you choose btw them and your family members.

My friend just lost his mother yesterday and while he was talking to sympathizers, he said "The most important person in my life has just passed away" The wife who was hearing was set off on edge and asked him where she belonged. If your mother is the most important person where do I belong? Second most or what?
Whats your take on this?

That woman is thoughtless and insensitive. Well, if she is going to make me choose between her and my mum then she should be ready for a shocker coz she wont even come close. My mum has been there all through my existence until she died, wife has only started being there when we got hooked up in the church, b!tch might even leave me with that kinda selfish attitude but mum? Stuck with me! No sane woman dare ask me that thoughtless question coz I damn sure will choose my mum over and over and over her as many times as she asks me to. . . Goddam it! Like I expect her to choose me over her loving parents.
