Celebrities / Re: Tiwa Savage Is Wrong According To Yoruba Cutomary Marriage Act by seunakin231(m): 7:31pm On Apr 30, 2016
[quote author=scully95 post=45188864]Written by Grandson Soyemi.

Tiwa Salvage says she will always allow her estranged husband to have access to their son. As a Yoruba woman, she is totally in the wrong here. This is more so because the Yoruba people have three phases of marriage: the Introduction, the Engagement and the Registry, Church or Mosque Ceremony.

The most significant of the three stages is the engagement proper which is often conducted under the Yoruba Cutomary Marriage Act.
The Act states that the children of the union between a husband and a wife belong to the father and if the father dies, the children belong to his immediate family. Tiwa's husband has all the rights over their child, according to the Yoruba culture and tradition, which are laws in Yorubaland.

However, this tradition is not the same as those of the White in America or the English from the United Kingdom, where more often than not it is the wife who has the custody of the children. In Yorubaland, it is the father who has the custody. Tiwa, therefore has no right whatsoever over the child of her union with the husband. She is in Lagos, Yorubaland and not in New York or London.
I have done this post to educate the gullible Yoruba Youth who may have watched Tiwa's video. On reflection, I am, however disturbed on the mores and mishaps that increasingly afflict love and marriage among young Yorubas.

Our society expects us all to get married. With only rare exceptions, we all do just that. Getting married is a rather complicated business. It involves mastering certain complex hustling and courtship games, the rituals and the ceremonies that celebrate the act of marriage, and finally the difficult requirements of domestic life with a husband or wife. It is an enormously elaborate round of activities, much more so than finding a job, and yet while many resolutely remain unemployed, few remain unmarried.

Now all this would not be particularly remarkable if there were no question about the advantages, the joys, and the rewards of married life, but most Yoruba, even young Yoruba, know or have heard that marriage is a hazardous affair.
Of course, for all the increase in divorce, there are still young marriages that work, unions made by young men and women intelligent or fortunate enough to find the kind of mates they want, who know that they want children and how to love them when they come, or who find the artful blend between giving and receiving.

It is not these marriages that concern us here, and that is not the trend in Yoruba today. We are concerned with the increasing number of others who, with mixed intentions and varied illusions, grope or fling themselves into marital disaster. They talk solemnly and sincerely about working to make their marriage succeed, but they are very aware of the countless marriages they have seen fail.
But young people in particular do not seem to be able to relate the awesome divorce statistics to the probability of failure of their own marriage. And they rush into it, in increasing numbers, without any clear idea of the reality that underlies the myth.

Channels Sunrisedaily Presenters Taken To The Cleaners

A guest on Sunrisedailynow, Engr. Martin Onovo wasn't one to be played the Devils Advocate with as has been the stock in trade with the trio of: #Chamberlain, #Sulaiman and chief of all #MaupeO.
The erudite, very eloquent and particularly sound two time Presidential Candidate successfully exposed the presenters making them appear as though they were apologists of the PMB (mal)Administration. He was quick to answer their questions very sagaciously, puncturing every effort to glorify the 2016 budget proposal. He did term the budget as one of "Ruination" and replete with contradictions.
Safe for Chamberlain who kept his cool and tried exuding some level of maturity (even though he appeared stoned at some point), Maupe and Sulaiman were kept mute for the last 10mins of the session for inadequacy.
@ OP, perhaps you didn't notice onovo was speaking from both sides of his mouth, thereby deny some statements he made mins after from the CBN claims, which he culdnt say where he saw dat news,to APC not having an agenda after he said the budget being the agenda he doesn't agree with, to Fashola's power plant tour and claims he was not making decisions, those trio made him take back his words or lemme say rephrase dem, I guess the time schedule for the didn't allow him see the play back,

Nothing justifies his actions. He acted like a jack ass. Olamide wasnt actually referring to him, he never mentioned his name. He ddnt say reekado wasnt worth it, he was referring to the management for being biased. He only expressed himself because his boy wasnt given a fair chance and the so called boss took it upon himself out of what i call an act of show off and pompousness to go on stage and utter the most embarrassing statement to a fellow celebrity. We are talking about olamide's ego na. I ddnt expect anything less from the acclaimed street king. And i am not even an olamide fan. The fact needed to be said. #Yawns

Investment / Re: Cashing Out On An Insurance by seunakin231(m): 2:10pm On Dec 29, 2015
TruthisOut:
Hi guys,

Please I need your help. I have been running this life assurance policy with an Insurance company for more than 40 months and going by their policy I can cash out 100 percent of my investment after 3 years (36 months). Now I want out, they started making things difficult telling me I will lose money if I cash out now.

I insisted that they give me back my money as I really it need now, they asked for a lot of requirements but the ones that made me raise an eyebrow are:
1. I should submit all receipts that they have sent anytime I paid my monthly premium
2. I should return the policy document.

Guys, these are documents that shows that I had an investment with them. Are these requirements ok or is someone trying to play me now? I need your help.
since its a term life policy, am sorry they can't breach it, u entered an agreement, and inside it, terms and condition applies...
