We are 5 boys in my family. Sometimes no amount of corrections will do. As they grow older they'll learn. But still note that some children come out differently, strong-willed, self-centered and grow up with that.

PoliticsMy Recall Process Has Expired – Melaye by SoberDisciple(op): 6:36am On Sep 26, 2017
Chairman of the Senate Committee on FCT, Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi), said yesterday that the process to recall him has expired following the failure of INEC to conduct referendum within 90 days.
Addressing newsmen at the National Assembly, Melaye said as far as he was concerned, he was no longer facing recall threat.

“It is therefore crystal clear that by the provisions of Section 69(b) of the 1999 Constitution, INEC must act on the petition purportedly presented to it on the 23rd of June, 2017 by conducting referendum within 90 days of the receipt of the petition.

“In this case, INEC received the petition on the 23rd of June, 2017. The 90 days period as provided for in the constitution for conducting the referendum elapsed by effluxion of time on 23rd of September, this year,” he said.

He also said the petition to recall him purportedly exhibited by INEC in court was only signed by three persons.

Melaye, who alleged that the recall process was orchestrated by the Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello and Senator Smart Adeyemi, said he would drag those who signed the petition to court for forgery.

“I celebrate the obituary of the ‘made-in -Taiwan’ recall exercise, while sympathising with the induced petitioners, who will obviously face charges of forgery and other criminal charges before a court of law very, very soon,” he said.

FamilyThe Dangers Of ‘ME’ Syndrome In A Family. by SoberDisciple(op): 6:47am On Jul 15, 2017
“And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Luke 9:23).

As long as your SELF continues to rule over you in your relationship with God, you are not God’s friend irrespective of your title in place of worship or how long you have spent in church. You need to surrender your heart (SELF) to Jesus Christ, the superior power who died and rose again after three days. He will then, posses your heart and order the affairs of your life. Anything that possesses your heart has possessed your entire life.

Until this happens, you can hardly live a joyful Christian life. Your hope would be built only on mundane things rather than on Christ Jesus. In the face of recession, depression and scotching challenges, the appeal to commit suicide would become so attractive. This is one of the things SELF can do. There can hardly be a flow of joy in your marital relationship and family life when SELF rules your life.

Today, we are in an era when a long period of marital union without separation is perceived more as an achievement than a given joyful or acceptable experience, as expected by the vow (covenant) made before Almighty God at the altar on wedding day.
Today’s parents (mother and father) are each married to their tablets, phones and other gadgets, just like their children. The forum for bonding, discussions and family interaction has been deemphasized. Life has become all about ‘ME, ME and MYSELF’.

No thanks to the social media. Teenagers have embraced or rather, have been baptized by adults with the ‘get-rich-quick syndrome’. They now steal to gather plenty of cash for the purpose of show off, and to get applauds from society, rather than the purpose of assisting a sick father or mother who they continue to accuse of being a failure that slept, while the DANGOTES of this world were emerging. Parents are pressurizing their children to become lawyers and doctors, not necessarily because they care about the future of their children but because they want to be applauded and not laughed at by a competitive society. So, the true personalities and destinies of children are being sacrificed at the altar of SELF. A wife is building a personal house somewhere and has indulged in several other personal gigantic projects, without the knowledge of her husband who is struggling day and night to muster enough funds for feeding the family, including this wife in question. A wife is spending huge sums of money for latest expensive clothes to be used for parties and ceremonies organized by friends and associates. Yet, her children have been chased out of school for non-payment of school fees, a situation resulting from her husband’s loss of job or financial crisis. This life of ‘ME, I and MYSELF’ in the home is contrary to the will and expectation of God.

It is this life of self-centredness and lack of love that makes a married person refer to children as ‘your children’ when addressing his or her spouse. This act is a deliberate attempt to shy away from responsibility, which means irresponsibility.

It is this ME syndrome that makes a lady abandon a baby in a dustbin after the reproductive processes and troubles involved in carrying the baby in the womb for nine months of her life. This baby is a potential President of a country or First Lady. Both this lady and the sin partner guy that has denied responsibility for the pregnancy are trying to protect a ‘pride’ that they have already lost. What a shame!

The ME syndrome is obviously a big problem to the marital institution. It is this syndrome that makes a couple live the life of affluence in the city while their parents suffer, and sometimes, die of mere hunger in the hinterland. This is actually a sin against God. See Ephesians 6:1-2.

It is the ME syndrome that makes a parent kill his or her child for ritual money or makes a child kill his or her parents for this purpose.

It is the ME syndrome that causes class-driven marital relationships, most of which do not last. Two sets of business mogul parents arrange and force their children to marry each other just for the purpose of sustaining the profitability of their businesses in future. The happiness of their children and marriage compatibility is not important to them. It is all about “My Business Empire Must Be Sustained.”

You are stealing money from your blood brother or sister that invited you to work with him or her or help build a business that is growing. You are not considering how your misbehaviour can hinder the willingness to assist other members of the family. Your ME syndrome is threatening the future and destiny of other members of your family.

How can sanity be restored to the family, the most important institution in the society? The first step is to go back to the inventor or originator of the institution. Marriage is not man’s idea. It was God’s initiative and it came into existence with a guiding operating manual. Every brand new car comes with a manufacturers’ manual. Any attempt to operate the car outside the guidelines provided by the manual will definitely lead to problems.

In the same vein, any attempt to play in the marital institution or operate marriage outside the guidelines provided by God in his word will result in marital
problems.

Point 2 is his/her choice.

PoliticsThe Making Of An African North Korea: Nigeria’s Three Gods by SoberDisciple(op): 8:39am On Jul 01, 2017
Kim Jong Un yawns, Generals clap vigorously. Our own gods have come. Nnamdi Kanu came from nowhere. They stand in the rain, in their thousands, and chant his name. He stands in a covered balcony and takes the cheers. It’s surreal. Nigerians were once known for having their minds. He nudges his cameramen and points to the crowd, they must not miss the expanse and the enthusiasm. When he raises his hands, the delirious crowd goes into a rapture. A god acknowledging holy devotees. When he moves on the road, he gets stuck. They don’t let him pass, they want to retain his presence, for themselves, forever. When he visits intellectuals, they are confounded, they become clowns. They confess they have been waiting sleeplessly for his arrival. Nnamdi Kanu, the deity of Biafra.

He pronounces a boycott of elections in the Southeast with a flippancy that will make Idi Amin painstaking. They jubilate. The redeemer has come. The stupidity of the decision stares at everyone except his worshippers. It is whispered into his ear at night, the boycott is literal self destruction. He risks being demystified. He scowls a little as gods do when their omniscience is challenged. Then he concedes and night continues with a vigil of thanksgiving to a compassionate and listening god.
In the morning, he declares that he would want to install the next Anambra governor “at his own terms.”

His supporters are ecstatic. They now want to partake in the communion of the zoo. If he defecates publicly at Ogbete market, they will applaud him. He would be credited with the ingenuity of exposing the hypocrisy of our collective repugnance at public defecation. Gods do as they please. It is for their devotees to find moral justification for their occasional unclothedness and somersaults.

He declares a day of rage and sends them ululating. The day when they will destroy all personal belongings that associate them with the zoo. They will incinerate their passports, national identity cards and voters cards. They talk about it with uncommon pride. They may now have to confirm from their authorities if they will keep the voters card for a while. The god was silent on the unrighteousness of the naira.
Wherever he goes, a crowd follows him. He has been touring. Everywhere he goes megalomania follows him. His dressing is a cross breed between an Igbo emergency traditional ruler and a peripatetic Jewish Rabbi. Everything is halfhearted and makeshift. He is infallible. His Igbo critics are deemed irreverent cowards committed to eternal servitude. Fire and brimstone will fall on all such traitors at the fullness of time.

The Niger Delta has their own god. Jonathan, the fantastically humble one. Even in his fallen state his worshippers have remained loudmouthed. Their devotion is sharpened by their hypersensitivity towards all manifestations Hausa Fulani hegemony.

Many of those who worship Kanu, worship Jonathan. But Nnamdi Kanu has set the bridge on fire. Kanu now thinks that Jonathan whom he once adored was truly weak and incompetent. This is Africa. Kanu committed a sacrilege. He told Jonathan, the strong man of Otuoke, publicly, that the wife he married with his money and kegs of wine is stronger than him. Jonathan’s devotees reacted timidly to that defamation of their god. Nnamdi Kanu is their kindred spirit, he has been tirelessly making things difficult for Buhari, their arch opponent.

The effectual One whom sleepless benevolent spirits have been cracking kernels for since his shoeless days in Otuoke has been very visible recently. Mo Ibrahim and the Nobel committee had refused to listen to his vociferous supporters. Jonathan had accomplished a super human feat in conceding defeat in an election he lost. There were great expectations. He was left to wander and wonder. Buhari’s men teased, nosed and poked. His supporters cursed the government’s temerity to defame their god and his angels. Who would blame them? Since time immemorial, it has been the duty of mortals to magnify the gods. They didn’t expect much from the Economist, and David Cameron. Racists and imperialists. Mo Ibrahim came with his snub.

Jonathan was not a former president of Guinea Bissau. What would a man whose wife has hairdressers who have 5 million dollars in their account do with Mo’s Ibrahim’s prize? His nightmare is the Daura god and his choir which perpetually blares trumpets of war on corruption into his ears.

A real god must see the future. Jonathan’s prophesies are coming true. In a land with many reputable prophets who make only vague and rogue prophecies, Jonathan must truly be a god. When he told the CNN that corruption wasn’t Nigeria’s major problem or threat, he was lampooned. No one saw Nnamdi Kanu and cattle herdsmen coming. So he may be right after all. He may be right he fought corruption too. He says he fought it scientifically and with a human face. His subjects old underage voters, Obama and their gods dislike for shedding of blood for their unending grief.

The Daura god came, it would appear, when we abandoned a hero at hand and went for a messiah in the bush\farm, with cattle. Those who beat their chests in 2015 are now being mocked. The songs of ridicule have changed theme from school certificate to medical certificate. It was once about Gulliver and his travels , it’s now about waiting for a recuperating god.
The president is infallible. His critics are treated with the suspicion reserved for rogues. It seems enough that the incorruptible one agreed to attend to our messy situation. And because he is so authentic, we are supposed to accept his good intentions as evidence of good performance. When his wife called our attention, they hushed her. They said she was a woman of little faith. The cabal they said was a figment of her hallucinations. When the cabal rears its head in daylight and embarrasses their god, they ask us to allow the god relish in the tantrums of his angels. The hale and hearty god came back from his medical leave to announce that he had never been so ill in his entire life. His supporters jumped into the air and worshipped his honesty. The Eid address came in Hausa. We were asked to contain ourselves. They were irritated by our naivety. We can’t ask what the report of the investigation on the alleged corrupt practices by the SGF is waiting for? That will be rude.
Nigerians steadily becoming North Koreans.
