So this morning, I woke up little tired and wanted to just be at home all day. But wiffey reminded me about my usual visit to Bilston Market centre in the UK here where I always buy fresh fruits from lovely farmers on Saturdays. I didn't want to go out but my sprit just encouraged me. Walking pass the open centre I started hearing the powerful song Ekwueme from a distance being used to evangelise to people by these two white people.

The lady told me she doesn't understand the song but she knows it is spirit filled song to minister to people. I had tears in my eyes telling them about the wonderful singer and had joy that even in death, her song is still working wonders.

We prayed together and encouraged each other briefly.

Bilston...Wolverhampton. I walked past that lady today as well �

Mmm...nawa o!

Whatever you do, don't be like this guy.

Funny enough, he can buy two good android phones for his parents from the money he is planning to use to buy an iPhone 8 for a girl who only offered him sex.

He can buy himself that same better iPhone and attract better ladies even further.

Did anyone also see how the babe is even telling him what she likes and don't like...lol

Thanks man but am not also comfortable asking some personal questions here.... But all the same,let's forget about it.

Nothing spoil.

femijay8271:
Boss... Can i have your whatsapp contact?

I don't want to share my contact on an open forum Bro. But I am happy to answer any questions you ask. Just quote me and I will gladly help

Hello Folks,

A lot of things will determine if you should consider it or not:

1. How old are your children? If they are under 4, then you will need to have childcare for them (except your wife will stay at home taking care of 4 kids). If they are older, then they will be entitled to going to a free school.

2. 600k is small money. If you come to the UK and utilise the IT skills you have, you could potentially get a £50,000 - £60,000 job. But you won't get that in the first year you arrive. You will need time to settle down, update yourself, get into the system.

3. Coming via the student route is not a sure way of staying in the UK. Question - is your wife willing to work in the care industry? If yes, then you can get a work permit through this for five years as there is shortage in the market and from that you apply for indefinite leave (what you Nigerians call Green Card).

4. It's usually very tough to start with, but if you can weather the storm, you will become successful beyond your widest imagination. This is an open forum and I can't start sharing what I earn, but trust me, I have never regretted moving abroad.

5. All those saying "Abroad is not all that" are those who either don't have the means to relocate, have comma with their document or outrightly don't want to make changes and they are looking for every reason to discourage you from going. Also people who want to continue to live a life that you can do anything you want without being questions prefer Nigeria.

that is my opinion. I'll share more info if you want though.

My advice for anyone (particularly male) who is in their early twenties is this:

You may not be reckoned with now (especially with females) but keep pushing..keep learning skills....gain experience in your chosen endeavour.

You will start reaping the benefit in your mid thirties and that is when you as a man fully reach your prime.

Don't feel bad that females who are your age mates are moving on....or getting things you can only imagine. Their prime is between 17 - 40. Whilst your prime as a man is between 32 - 55.

Keep building on your skills and become the best at what you do. Alongside....make sure you:

Read self improvement books

Join self improvement and build networks with societies that are forward thinking.

And take care of yourself with your meagre resources. Not spending on women.

Spend money to care for your dressing....hair....skin...eat healthy and take your grooming very serious.

Blessings!

What happened to "What a man can do, a woman can do better"? Why can't she defend herself? Why is she wanting the responsibility to transfer over to him?

aidameoryou:
This right here Is the truth and nothing but the truth.

You empowered her to know that she can use that to manipulate whosoever she gets grab of.

I really don't know how old you are to let a little girl hold you to ransom like that, but you have successfully set up the next innocent negga to be a victim.

[color=#000000]you should have recorded with your phone unknowing to her, and then beat the shit outta her.[/color]
damn the effing consequence

You are talking with the benefit of hindsight. Op may not have expected it.

You all need to realise that overtime...people learn manipulation of women and girls...and most men were unprepared for this.

For those saying small children can't lie....please erase that thought.

No be on this thread we all discussed that women start learning manipulation from childhood?

Having read multiple news of men jailed before for being accused....I have always always ensure I am not alone with a female child in a house or room.

Infact....talking to them sef....an adult must be in the vicinity.

Don't ever give a child gift. Buy it and give to their mum (for the kids) Instead if you really care and can't get out of not giving.


Women who have been abused continuously tell their girls to report when someone touches their bum bum and continuously repeat this until the girl knows that anyone she says that about is in big soup...so they use it as a manipulative tool.

Stay away from children. If they come close to you. Stand up and leave...don't place a child on your laps even if they come to you....it's better to be embarrassed that you turned a child down than to be accused of rape.

Some women even start looking at you suspiciously if you play with their girl child too much and project their insecurities....fears....and programming on you.

To break up is simple. Just stop messaging her and block her on all social media platform (including whatsapp). How hard is that?

Her messages (that you posted) is toxic. She lacks respect for you. DOn't dignify her by replying. Just block and never speak to her again. It's not hard!

For those of us living in the UK, please where can we watch this live?

MadamVanessa:




Nigerian men can't keep this their stupidity within the confinement of this thing called Nigeria they still cross boundary with it.

That's a saner clime in which law works very well, and the idiotic useless nonentity rapist is in for it.

I wonder how men derived satisfaction and pleasure from rape, really wonder because it's not making sense, and it doesn't add up at all.

I think sex is best enjoy when the dick rises, and the pussy is wet and drip, as such, the woman will be in mood and that triggers her to help in guiding the dick by herself to the pussy hole and make the auuuch sound when it finally enters which makes the man so In mood too. The flop flop flop flop sound when the man is thrusting is a killer , the nipples will be dancing tikidikiti tikidikiti tingling tingling.. I personally, will always find a way of rubbing the scrotal sac with my hands, though most guys say it tickles them, when he's doing justice to my honey pot

Rapist are not normal, as such should be treated like mad people.

One person carries out a crime, you blame it on Nigerian men. That boy is not Nigerian men. He was born in the UK. How is he Nigerian by experience? Simply because he bears a Nigerian name?

It's just like saying Nigerian women can't keep their stupidity away for being gold diggers.

Moz22:
Actually typing this with a heavy heart and so much disgust for what I've done.. wish I had handled the situation better.

My father is the best man I could ever wish for and if I had another chance to pick a dad again in my next life, I'll pick a richer version of him but my mom?? Sigh!

However growing up with them was so stressful in every way u can think of.. my dad was the meek type, soft spoken and slow to react but my mom would always complain about everything, she fights everything and everyone.. never afraid of any form of confrontation, she would complain about my hairstyle, she would check if I sagged my trousers.. she monitored me extremely and always nagged about it.. I'm this typa guy who is well cultured, I wouldn't say I got that from home training tho cos I do not drink, smoke nor womanize... And I think it's d joy of every parent to have child like me, I basically had no friends visiting me then and even up till now. I've got trust issues that's why I don't keep friends.. my mom made my youthful days hell for me, I didn't really enjoy it.. times I spent with her were miserable as she would shout everyday, quarrel even over phone conversations that you would think the person she's fighting with was right in front of her.. and some times I even pity my dad whenever she starts with him. I developed some sorta hatred for her

Lately I've been spending more time with them cos of our last born just so I could keep an eye on him and we stayed close too.. and the way she treats him makes me wonder if she was the one gave birth to him, if I was away when she was pregnant for him and delivered.. I would have argued that she was his mother. There were times that I had to pass the night there and her voice or rants would be what will wake me up very early in the morning just as it used to be when I used to be there...

I used to think that as people grow old, they become calmer but that isn't the case with my mom, she's more violent... She lost her twin sis last year March and I sincerely hoped that would change atleast but iro nio... Her other sisters aren't even speaking to her at the moment. My dad was a musician.. old age won't allow him continue doing music, coincidentally I picked up that barton.. been doing the same music(live musician) all my life but my mom has always been against it.. she was never happy whenever I carry my dad's guitar to rehearse or whenever I bring a piano home.. it was always war...

Been there since last weekend cos of the poor electricity in my area.. we have had power for about 7 days now.. Had gone for a studio session, only to return in d evening and I was greeted with shouting over a very trivial issue, I was so angry that I responded to every of her verbal insults.. and then she hit me and I reciprocated which I felt so bad about almost immediately.. she dragged me by my clothes shouting that I must kill her again, by that time.. my anger had subdued and all I had on my mind was to leave the house immediately. She threatened to arrest me.. She tore my shirt and I managed to pull away from her.. and left without picking my stuffs. All my life, I have never raised up my hands to hit a woman talkless of my mom.. I don't even beat kids when they do wrong, I hate to see tears..

I know it's a disgraceful thing to do. I've got no excuse for what I've done whatsoever. I even avoid confrontations with my own gender sef cos I know what I'm capable of. I'm always quick to say the word sorry just to avoid prolonged issues. I had been offline since it happened, just came here to drop this and I know how much insults I'm gonna get here anyway but we learn everyday and will surely pick the ones that will make me a better person.. no one's perfect

Pls ignore my typo errors abeg

While I know this is one side of the story (and your mum will have hers), I understand your plight.

1. It appears your mum is damaged emotionally and has a lot of demons she is fighting hence she transfer it to you all.

2. Your mum resents your dad, even though you may not see it. As your dad is not successful musically (e.g. very rich and popular), she believes that you are towing that path. Hence why she shouts and scream at you for it.

This is how women behave. You need to understand as a man that no woman will respect your hustle until you make money. It's not even about music. Every woman despises a struggling man. But wait and become very rich doing music and she will hail you.Your wife, girlfriend are exactly the same.

3. Your mum will never change. Just accept that fact. Just do your best to avoid her as much as you can and be friendly from a distance only. Whatever you do, mend relationship, but don't be a door mat or entertain her insult no matter what.

4. Call your dad. Tell him what happened. Say sorry to him. Tell him you wee wrong to hit your mum (but that you were provoked) and you rang him to let him know you were not happy with how things turn out. Then promise that you will ensure that nothing of such will happen again.

Your dad is a man. He may be angry, but he will respect you for showing remorse and promising it won't happen again.

5. Guy, do your best and hustle very well to become successful. There are many successful Nigerian live band musicians, study them, visit their Instagram pages, copy them, use their style, get one of them as a mentor and become successful.

You did not say if you are an instrumentalist or lead singer. If you are a lead singer, please form your own band, pursue posting your videos/music out there and advertise yourself as a live band for events etc.

If you are an instrumentalist, please consider going mainstream. Because instrumentalist don't get paid a lot of money that will make you stupidly rich. You need to change your approach.

If you provide more answers to my assumptions, I will advise more, but please whatever you do, work hard to be successful at your craft. This is what women (including your mother) use to define a man.

Elianawalker:
I don't know what others think but footballers are over paid.

For christ's sake doctors, scientists deserve far better... have you paid attention to what does guys have done for our existence?
Without science we all would probably be dead from one small infection...

Your comment shows exactly that you don't understand how economy and money making works.

Footballers make so much because of a simple principle. Principle: A lot of money is made by selling a piece of product to millions of people.

e.g. A $10 product sold to 1 million people is $10 Million Dollars. A $50,000 sold to 10 people only makes you $500,000.

Football is sold to millions of people, hence why the players get paid a lot.

Doctors can only treat 1 person per time. Even if you charge $50,000 to treat a patient, doctors can't make more than that.

Unless doctors are able to transfer their skills/work to millions in one fell swoop, they won't earn as much as footballers.

And by the way, who makes you the judge of who is "deserving of better"? You are looking at it from your own emotional perspective without using logic (which I explained above) works.

Logic is what helped the world build all it's institutions. Know this and know peace.

I am not a fan of Bola Tinubu, but you cannot deny the fact that the man is good at strategy and doing the work it takes.

I mean - of all the candidates that are lobbying in their parties, only Tinubu has done a lot of work to canvass appeal of his party delegates and heavyweights.

Not even PDP or the other parties have any candidate who is going around for consultation and reporting it in the media.

Truth is, if we are not careful, Tinubu will win party candidature and even win the presidency.

I am so happy to see Julius Agwu. he's been on my mind for the past few months. So so happy for him. God bless you real good bro.

mimilyrics:
I agree with speaking your language at home. My lil one got interested in learning just so she could do "aproko" and understand our discussions.
YouTube has also been an amazing way for her to learn - knows more Naija songs than I do now.

This is the only downside lol. You have to live with that, unfortunately.

By the way @mimilyrics, thanks for your numerous contribution in the UK Visa thread in the past. I used some of your tips for a family member and it worked. Blessings from this side.

LagosismyHome:
I started this morning and I think that saying something in the language and repeating it in English helped. .... it got them interested to repeat back. THANKS

I am so glad you are using this technique. The more you do this, the easier it gets.

Also, don't berate them if they mix English and Local language together. e.g. If Yoruba, they might say things like "Mo fe eat food". Just smile and say well done!!!!...and then say it correctly...."Mo fe je ounje" and ask them to repeat it.

It is in the "asking to repeat" that they learn to speak.

To everyone else reading this, note that being able to speak a local language is different from being able to understand. They are two different skills. to learn to speak, they have to repeat words verbally. The more they repeat, the more they understand.

Also, when they pronounce with a British "intonation", make sure you correct them to speak the correct "intonation".

P.S. Forgive my using "Yoruba" as example, just using my own experience. Just relate it to your language if you are not Yoruba.

Martinez39:
NB: I am not trying to demonize male doctors, I acknowledge that some female doctors are guilty as well.

Dear female nurses and doctors, have you been oppressed, maltreated or sexual harassed by a male doctor? If yes, share your story and what you did about it. You can also share the story of any friend or person that you know have been in such situation. Other related stories are welcome. Please don't derail this thread.

Edit: due to the irrationality of many people who have commented here, I am compelled to make it clear that this thread wasn't created to downgrade the noble profession and professionals. This thread wasn't motivated by jealous hence all aggression towards me are undue. I have made a simple request in this thread and I expect a gentle and peaceful response -- that's if you are intellectual mature and bright.

Ideally, your topic should be titled: Harrassment From Medical Colleagues.

Your topic (and many like this created by som feminist) seek to pitch one gender against the other. It's counter productive, leaves both sides fighting each other and cause intersex arguments.

LagosismyHome:
Thanks for this ... I would have to sitdown and read this word for word ....lol. I love how you are intentional about this topic

Thank you, it's a continuous process. You can't give up.

Your kids may laugh at the start. Some outsiders may laugh at the start...when they see you trying to do this. but don't give up. They will eventually learn and warm up to it.

Mamatukwas:
The language issue gives me headache I won’t lie. I’ve heard the way is to speak the language you want them to learn exclusively at home but it’s not easy. People that are doing it successfully should show us the way.

I currently do this with my Son and he understands yoruba fluently and can speak in the correct accent decently for his age.

Here's what I did:

1. Only speak in Yoruba at home. The first 1-2 month will be hard for you, but you MUST make conscious effort.

2. For children who don't currently speak, you say things in English and then repeat it in Yoruba for every sentence. This is very important. You have to do this over and over and over again.

3. When it's raining, I sing "Ojo nro...sere ninu ile", when I am bathing him, I sing "we ki o mo, get ekana re". When driving in the car, I sing "Labe igi orombo" I make this constant practice etc.

4. Teach them body parts. e.g. Head, shoulder knees & Toes (then you proceed to teach other things). The other day, I saw a flower on our way back from school, I simply said to him...Ki leleyi? he goes...flower...I said...Ododo....and asked him to repeat it (note - I say this in yoruba to him).

5. I do a 30 minutes class for my son weekly. We have Alawiye (I got someone to buy it from Nigeria). I also bought some yoruba books on Amazon (e.g. "Iresi was nile" is a good one), and we read it 1 - 2 weekly. I would do more, but I am always very busy with work.

6. I never ever speak English (except when I am angry with what the they do, and my "Englishness" switches in). It's always Yoruba. Even to the toddler who can't speak yet, I say everything to him in Yoruba. At 1, he understands "was gba" (come and take).

7. Sign up to "cultureTree" on Youtube, they have some decent songs in Yoruba (if you are Yoruba). There are some great Igbo youtube channels too.

8. I am a sucker for King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey (and even have some old Vinyl records owned by my dad and inherited by me), so I play them on my Turntable and I sing it. My son (4 years) sings "asiko mi tito" by Ebenezer Obey (not very fluently, but he understands it and dance to it.

9. Teach them Yoruba alphabets. Let them know how different it is from the English Alphabets.

10. Watch Yoruba movies with them. No, I don't mean "Yorubawood" Those ones are trash. Look for deep-rooted amazing Yoruba films e.g. Any Tunde Kelani or Kunle Afolayan based yoruba movies should be ideal.

11. Patience: You must be patient. You must be resilient. You must keep at it, when you do, after one year, it will pay off.


My goal is to ensure my kids can speak very fluently with a proper Yoruba accent (without Britishness) and be able to read and write it without any issues. I don't even bother teaching them English. They will learn that without stress in school.

HenryThegreat1:
They have been using BRT buses commit all sorts of atrocities.

Which one is 'they'? How many of them?

An act of one is not an act of all. Please use sense small.

This type oft hing even happens in the UK and US. This is a case of a pervert who happened to use his employers too to commit atrocities.

That does not mean all bet drivers do exactly same thing.

Make Una dey use sense small small please.

Teettyllayho:
Please I need advise from people with grown up kids.

Honestly, parenting is not easy. I don't even know what to do anymore.

My first son is 7 but he is kind of slow. However, he's above average in learning and he's learning at his pace. I understand all of this and I'm always happy to guide him.

But I don't know if I'm too hard or too soft on him because I use to talk to him a lot. I only beat him when he does something serious (like going against my rules, or not doing his homework when he should).

These days, whenever I scold him, he would give me a sad look and he might even shout saying: "I've heard you!" Then, he will be alone in a corner for some time.

Sometimes, I'd go close to him and tell him why I had to scold him and he'd say "I don't like it when you shout at me" I'd apologize and hug him (I don't even know if I'm spoiling him by apologizing). .

I don't know how to scold without putting a bit of action at least. Shey I'll be whispering and scolding ni? Sometimes, I'll leave him and pretend as if I didn't see him when he brings up such attitude.

Last week, he mistakenly brought back someone else's lunch box home because they look very much alike. I told him it's okay that it happens and I promised to write his name in bold when he brings back his box the next day to prevent such from happening again.

Could you believe that he came back with the other person's lunch box again? When I asked him, he said he didn't see his lunch box and the boy that took his own. Then I asked: Did you tell your class teacher? Are you sure you know the boy?

His reply: I didn't tell my teacher because I know the boy and I went to his class but he wasn't there.

So, I figured that he must have gone to check once and didn't bother to check again. And he didn't bother to also tell his class teacher.

So, I was very mad this time and told him not to bring someone else's property home again, no matter what!

I think he would have told his teacher if he really valued his property because he told me something that made me really mad the next morning.

"Mummy, or will you buy me another lunch box since we can't find mine?" Luckily for me, he was brushing his teeth then and I was bathing for his sister. The resounding slap I gave him on his back brought back his senses.

I don't know why he always want something new. He spoilt the lunch box I bought for him and his sister o and he's using another one now. That is, he wants me to buy a third one while his sister is still using the first one? How na?

I don't even know what to think. Why would he want a new box when he's barely used the new one?

Then, he's always talking about how his classmates use to bring different kinds of food ( he wasn't like this before o).

I try as much as possible to make different foods for him too, and he's stopped complaining.

We recently changed his school and his new school has quite a lot of pupils. I Don't know if that's affecting him.

Honestly, I'm bothered about the changes and I don't know how best to address it.

I've made him understand countless times that he should always be content with whatever he has and he shouldn't compare himself with anyone.

I just finished with another round of lecture now and he has tears in his eyes saying:

"Mummy, stop shouting at me. It makes me sad"

I was heartbroken and felt guilty seeing him like this and I did everything possible to make him see why I had to shout or scold.

Please how can I scold a child without shouting? Am I spoiling him? Can someone help with tips?
Honestly, I'm tired!

@poster, I understand your frustrations. Parenting is one thing you do that you are not even trained for. I know this because I am in same shoes as you.

As a father of two boys, let me give you advice that I think will help:

1. Stop "beating your child" at every opportunity. Use other forms of training.

(a) My sons have Toys he cherishes. Whenever he misbehaves, all his Toys get seized for the period that I mention. And he never gets it back until that time period elapse And he has to do an apology to receive it. if your child has a phone or food allowance, then restrict it.

(b) Naughty Corner: If he misbehaves, he has to go to a section of the house that I call naughty corner. That naughty corner is one place he doesn't like going to.

(c) Not taking him out: You threaten (and go ahead with that threat) not to take him out to a fun place for any misbehaviour.

Only reserve "beating" as the final last resort (once in a blue moon). If you have to beat, get a cane and flog on the buttock only and it should be minimal.

Please stop slapping, hitting. It is not good for a child. Trust me, you don't want a child that is Timid or overly resistant from hitting. You are making him think slapping, hitting is a normal thing and he will do it to his own kids and (maybe wife) when he gets older.


Now to how you can best support him:

2. Please buy him a different coloured lunch box. Make it different, so that the box won't be mistaken by other kids.

To be honest, I think him bringing the other kid's lunch box home is him building his logical sense of reasoning. The dude is learning to take initiative. You cannot take good initiatives until you take a few bad ones.

So please don't beat him because of that.

3. When correcting your child, correct in love. Don't correct out of frustration. When you correct out of frustration, you tend to shout.

I learnt this from my madam. I use to correct my child when I am angry, I have learnt (over time) to breathe in and out ten times before correcting and this now works better.

I correct without shouting or "fuming" and I have seen the better results.

4. No child is slow. He is just natured in a way where he does things after thinking about it thoroughly. Not all children will be impulsive.

Help your child build resilience. Introduce him to games (if he is not doing any yet). Encourage him to take fit activities like football, tennis or any other physically active games that is available in your area.

5. learn to allow him to make choices. e.g. From age 1, I always pick two socks and let my child decide which one he wants to wear. e.g. Yellow or Green socks (i place them in front of him) and allow him to choose.

This singular act helps a child build a mind of their own to make good decisions.

6. Pray for your child. It doesn't matter if you are a Christian, Muslim or Traditionalist. Pray for them and even praise them in your own language. I actually created oriki for my child in Yoruba. e.g. Omo Akin, Omo nla Omo Oba Alajule Orun, Omo Oba alabe a sassi ti soju ooo ba pofiri. He loves when I say it and smiles because I say it when he has done something impressive.



Finally, please know that changing a child's school changes his routine and changes the environment he is used to. So cut him some slack, let him build awareness of his new environment.

See, our children are a reflection of us. I's normal for children to feel left out if all their classmate brings a different type of meals to school and they only bring just one.

It happened to us all while we were young. And it will continue to happen. Don't resent your child for wishing he was like other kids. After all, we adults sometimes wish we have what others have. The only difference is that we don't envy them (or envy secretly)

I hope my little piece helps you. Again I will repeat, please stop hitting your child at every instance. Trust me, there are other ways of disciplining a child that is more effective.

I've said it before and I will say it again, nobody profits from war. Look at innocent women and children suffering

Are the men not suffering too? Àbí na only women and children deserve pity?

.

Most people criticizing him may not understand where the guy is coming from. Dude may come from a background where things he is currently experiencing is nothing close to what he even has in his dreams.

What I really hope he does is to cut down on his drinking and invest the money he is making in himself (e.g. further education, investment, etc) and for the future, because this will not last forever.

Akinzola:
have you forgotten that the same record label that signed Bob Marley also signed King Sunny Ade after the death of Bob Marley, the purpose was to get someone to replace Bob Marley, of which KSA happened to be the best fit.

God bless you for this. And yet someone thought he was not well known.

NwaAmaikpe:





I've never been a fan of Orubebe, but I will not take this list.

Onyeka Onwenu is conspicuously missing.

Ekwe, Iyogogo, One Love, You and I, Dancing In the Sun, Odenigbo, Ochie Dike and a few of her other works were global world-class masterpieces.

She gave Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Thione Ballago Seck, Youssou N'Dour and Salif Keita a run for their money and made them look like learners.

So good she was that Almighty Fela wanted to marry her just as exploitation to boost his global music ratings but she turned him down.

Without sentiments, ask yourself this question.
Was Sunny Ade globally reckoned before his duet with Onyeka Onwenu in "Wait for Me"?

If you are unbiased and a true global music critic, you'd understand why I feel that this award is meaningless if Onyeka Onwenu is not on it.

An Afrobeats Hall of Fame without an Onyeka Onwenu and a Sir Shina Peters is worse than an expensive wedding hall without guests.

Till you see my point, argue with my semen.

You are doing King Sunny Ade a disservice by claiming Onyeka Onwenu brought him to international acclaim.

King sunny ade has been touring the UK since the late 60's/early 70s.

Onyeka Onwenu was not even know globally like King Sunny Ade.

Of both of them...go to YouTube and you will see a lot of videos of KSA doing live performances to huge crowds even way before the duet with Onyeka Onwenu.

KSA is a big fish ó. Even till today he does more performances than Onyeka that you hold in high esteem.

I love Onyeka Onwenu.but don't ever attach KSA success to her.

She is not even close by any margin! Both in album numbers...live performances and even awards.

A lot of young people on Nairaland think afrobeat is Davido...wizkid etc.

Afrobeat was originally the genre created by Fela Kuti!

What Davido and wizkid and Co now call afrobeat was originally known as afro pop. It was a UK based Ghanaian DJ that renamed it afrobeat and most UK based Nigerians and Africans popularised it with British media and they turned it from afro pop to afrobeat.

And yes....the beats now has a Fela baseline with a bit of fuji styled vocal and some element of jùjú and highlife.

Ẹ.g. Tekno's ' Enjoy myself' is purely high life laced with Fela styled afrobeat.

Ojuelegba by wízkid is purely Fela styled afrobeat.

Aimasiko by Simi was a remake of Ebenezer obeys Juju album. Joromi was highline as well.

Yet all the above were classed as new age afrobeat.

Lol it’s that easy bAa?
I just got licensed to practice in Uk and I started this process about 6 months ago
He can’t just start applying
He needs to go through the process

I don't dispute that. However going on NHS.net will help him see that he deserves more than what he is currently facing.

I work in the UK already myself and know it takes a while to get your licence to practice.

Good day all.

My husband is a good and dedicated Physiotherapist, though he has not been so long into the profession. He manages himself now with private practice by treating people in their homes and offering his services to clinics and hospitals who need his services on agreed amount to be paid him as he is yet to get a well paying job in a hospital . He recently got a call from one doctor who owns a clinic around his area for treatment of a patient with physiotherapy case. It was agreed between him and the doctor that he will be paid 5k each day for three times in a week.

On the first day of work, my husband arrived and began treatment. The doctor entered and began asking series of questions about the processes and procedures. After about 20mins, my husband told him that he would like to be given some privacy and concentrate on his patient as he was being distracted. The doctor refused, my husband refused answering further questions; this angered the man. When he was done with the treatment, he requested for his money and the doctor refused.

And argument ensued. He told my husband to leave the hospital, my husband said its until he receives his payment for workdone. He began pushing my husband away and a fight began, he bite my husband in several places. They were later separated. My husband went and treated himself and proceeded to report the case to the police station. The doctor went and reported too.

Note: Some Doctors ask the Physiotherapists these questions while treatment is ongoing because they want to treat the patients themselves and they don't know about Physiotherapy. They end up getting a physiotherapist and after few sessions, they dismiss them with hope that they have learnt, all because of greed. They end up doing a bad job and the patients case keep getting worse.
I told my husband to forget all about it and he said Never, that he worked for it and deserves his pay. I told him i know but justice is hardly gotten in this country.

Note: we recently got married and don't reside in same state because I have a business here and I'm heavily pregnant, i will join him as soon as I get a shop in his location. This case is taking a toll on my bp and I'm so worried. please what can we do? Any other options? Thank you good people.

Mods, please help a worried pregnant woman and her husband.

Thank you.

Tell your husband to start applying for physio jobs on www.nhs.net. He deserves a lot better than to be fighting over 5k jobs when he can earn £40,000 - £50,000 yearly.
