I'm have problems uploading the pictures due to the size. I will have to figure out a way of reducing the size of the pictures on my phone to meet the 4mb threshold of Nairanland.

Olu of North Warri or Itshekiris. Other tribes have their kings.

Other kings have no history, all of them are less than 100years. Olu of Warri has record stretching back 700 years. There are historical records with monarchies of Portugal and England.

The Olu of Warri honoured my community - Ureju, by inviting us to the palace and raising our flag at the palace gate. It was a huge event with dignitaries invited from all over the state and indeed the country. It's was a very colourful and entertaining event.

Various tribes domiciled in Warri used the occasion to pay homage to the King - Ogiame Atuwase III, the Olu of Warri.
Below are some pictures I was able to capture.

The thing is, why deprive the children of seeing mama? How is any of this their fault? When it is FFK tapes all over the place, hitting his wife and threatening domestic staff with hammers!

The propensity for violence alone is enough to make FFK lose primarily custody in saner climes. He would have been required to pay for upkeep of the children under the primary custody of their mother.

princeeze1:
Stop quoting everyone raving mad with vile statements, if you are so pained, go and wife precious, she is now available and stop being her foot soldier. While I concede a man should not hit a woman unless in self defense, I am against the notion that no woman deserves to be separated from her biological children. I live in diaspora and I don’t know where you guys got that logic from. Some mothers even lose their own kids to foster system. It all boils than to a lot of factors and not sentiments geared towards the women folks.

I don't believe I am reading this. Why should a woman deemed to be fit be separated from her biological children?

Mothers that lose their children to the foster system are either deemed to be unfit to care for children or they willingly give out their children for adoption.
In the diaspora, no system will deny a willing and fit mother access to her children.

leave her mak she dey cry around...


We know say Na child support she need we know d format...

if truly dem no dey allow her see her kid she go don upload a video on d internet where FFk security no allow her enta go see her pikin...

So she has to pass through FFK's security and enter his house in order to see her children? Many of you are hate women so much that I wonder if you are birthed by a woman.

She is not asking for child support as the children are not in her custody. She is only asking to spend time with her very young children. In saner climes, custody will be shared between the parents, but in Nigeria where money is might, the richer parent can deny the poorer one any access to their children.

OLUPET009:
no b me frustrate U nap, d bae na my close friends like we are still dating. Am not telling him anything not now or ever moreover am not like u

Na here I go come vex for you. Are you just platonic friends or friends with benefits. You need to have a heart to heart talk with bae, to establish your relationship and boundaries. It's immoral to continue have sexual relations with her while she is married or preparing to marry.

slimanyd:
At times, I still wonder if these same pastors that do tell us to pray b4 marrying also does same o. Cos, its glaring these lady the pastor is about to marry is a hoe and a killer. Does it mean he did not see a clear vision or the vision is blur?

She is a hoe because she refused to be a baby mama? Did the OP tell you that he paid her for sex?
Why the hatred for women? Remember your mother and sisters are women.

OLUPET009:
u are wrong about me, I love as a friend even b4 n after d dating. We are very very gud friends, am wishing Dem gud by zipping up. Thanks

I appreciate you have a change of heart. That she aborted for you does not make her a bad person or that she would make a bad wife. She took a risk with you and lost. She took a risk with your friend and won. She might even be pregnant for him.

Try and understand life from a woman's perspective. The clock runs against them faster and they might never know a man's real intentions until after tasting into the cookie jar.

Be happy for them and wish them a happy marriage.

OLUPET009:
Not that, I just feel he should know. As for Me am not ready for prisoner ring yet

I hope you would mind if she too inform your prospective bride (whenever you are ready for prisoner ring ) that you have been responsible for abortions (now we don't know how many).
I wonder why people only blame the woman for abortions. You went in raw but you were not ready for prisoner ring. If you had promised her marriage, i am sure she would not choose to abort.

You are so hell bent in destroying the life of the lady. Why the hate? She offend you?

All my life is being full of mistakes and errows which can never be corrected..

trying to help others really made me to loose everything i have... I'm currently a nobody, i've lost whatever i have before and now i'm living a lost life..

the truth is that i was trying to help others, thinking it was right, but it took away my all and made me an empty box.

nobody knows what i've been passing through, i've survived sucidal thought more than three times, but now i don't have any strenght to help me overcome that thought again.. I've gone to meet a doctor for help, but he told me i'm the only one who can help myself right now, as there is no medicine to what i'm currently facing right now..

i'm now living in fear every single moment, that is the greatest problem i've ever faced.. It seems to be easy, but the very hardest for me.. I don't has happened to me, but all of a sudden i began to live in fear..

i don't kno what it is, but all my heart beat is fear, even when i'm eating or in the midst of people talking, i'm just constantly in fear.. At every moment of my life for the past one month is living in fear, and i've tried to control it, but i can't..

i'ven't done anybad to anyone, i kno i've helped a lot of people.. I just can't contineu to be living in fear, my doctor ask me if i did anything bad to anyone or killed somebody, but the answer is no..

nairalanders, all my thought currently is covered in fear, fear of the mind and because of this i cant rest nor sleep..

i don't even know what i am fearing, and that is the worst of it all.

i can't contineu to be telling people i'm having fear of mind at all second, they keep asking me what have i done, and most of them now think i've killed somebody and probably been pusued by a spirit..

there is only one way i can save myself from this, i'm scared..

Get a hobby, a job or something you enjoy doing. As they say the mind abhors a vacuum. If you mind is not occupied with something positive and productive, it will be filled with negativity and destructive tendencies.

Go out more, meet people with similar interests and hobbies. I wouod have said get a girlfriend, but that can exasperate your problems with the demands of Nigerians girls and with the possibility of a heart break.

Swordoftruth17:
It is depression my guy, but firstly you have to know what is causing it.. I don't just know why oyibo people have not gotten the drug for depression..

There are drugs to help alleviate depression. Google is available and free.

The problem with Nigeria is that mental health is not taken seriously, and mental health practitioners are few and far between. People attribute mental illness to spiritual problems and hence people go to pastors, alfas, babalawos to solve mental health problems.

Richashell:
We go outside. Mine is 4 years no sex. I have tried everything to make it work but she says no.

4 years with no sex? and you consider yourself still married?
You know a dead bedroom of just one year is enough grounds for divorce.
You need to move on and find someone who finds you sexually attractive. So what are you gaining from the marriage?

Tallesty1:
She watched her daughter go to bed hungry enyi.



That was so extreme

Na dat one pain me pass. Watching a baby go to bed hungry as a mother is unforgivable.
It means the child will abandoned if anything happens to the husband.

merieam16:
u had better forgive that and move on. Marriage is all about enduring and forgiveness....e be like say u never ready. Marriage is not for the faint at heart

You don't seem to understand the meaning of the word MARRIAGE. You think marriage is a poverty alleviation programs for girls to live comfortably for the rest of their lives with giving only their toto as a condition.

So marriage is about enduring and forgiveness only from the man, and? Women are not required to forgive and endure.

Nigeria is a broken society with broken values. No wonder the whole world avoid us but ready to accept Ghanians and even Beniniose.

klas:
Glo was registered the same time. It won the license just like mtn but it found out that the spectrum that it was given was a subject of litigation having been previously allocated to another company under Abacha.

It conveniently forfeited the $20m it deposited for the license

False.

You people just make up stories from your head.
Glo was not even available for the first round of bidding in 2001. The three companies that won the 2001 bid of $275 million was Econet, MTN and Communications Investment Limited (CIL). CIL belonged to Mike Adenuga. CIL could not meet up with the payments and it lost its license. A year later Mike Adenuga through Globacom win the license as the Second national carrier for $200million. He started operations in 2003.
You can read more here - https://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/09/adenuga-the-grand-commander-of-telcos/amp/

Which $20 million did it forfeit for the license? CIL could not pay the $20 million.

WHITELIGHTER:
Does this apply to every other federal registry, like the one in GRA Benin city?!

Thats The implication of the judgement. All marriages ever conducted in all federal registries are hereby null and void.

Odidigboigbo:
Yes you are right, people go for Court marriage because of legal documents, apart from that nothing more.

Not just legal document. Only court marriage secures the rights of women and children in a marriage. With a marriage certificate, relatives of deceased husbands cannot just come and appropriate the properties of their brother.

Also the widow and their children cannot be driven out of their matrimonial home, which is quite common under marriages conducted under native law.

zoedew:
“May.” Proven track record of operating telecom licences is the issue here. Mafab has zero experience !! Oh what a country.

And so?
If the company do not role out operations within a stipulated time, the license can be revoked or the government can embark on another round of bidding.

Glo missed out of the first round of GSM license, but it won license as a second national carrier which included GSM just 2 years later.

Nsibash:
Sorry op. It still doesn't make sense to me. It's not about the money for me. Ofcourse we understand how our country runs, there are definitely more to how they could amass such huge investment than we currently know.

My concern is how they even qualified to bid without having the necessary infrastructure to run the 5G spectrum and even beat Airtel Nigeria to it.

E shock me sha

As I said, it's a matter of cash

williams77:
What a terrible nation, the same way they allocated Power and Petroleum sector to themselves with no meaningful progress yet, I hate it when a Nigerian investor amongst multinationals is licensed to handle a key business component in this country, what they do is to extort masses and rip them off for the services which they never render, how can this strange and alien name get the license in the midst of the globally recognized telecom giants..... 5G would end in tears with this Manfab, just watch out

It's not a monopoly. Two of them won the bid. If Mafab Communications do not role out or role out poor 5g services, you can port to the second company or stick to 4g. There are alternatives.

Ernestforyou:
This is not about tribe but simple logic.A company with no prior experience in such field and registered within a year to have gotten such license is of no brain .

The licence was not free. The company may have or plan to hire professionals with decades of experience.

Gavel:
This is quite funny. As a Lawyer I find the judgment difficult to grasp and reconcile with realities.

As a non lawyer, I find it difficult to grasp also. First he only made reference to the 1999 constitution. So what happens to marriages held before 1999?
Then what is the current status of millions marriages held since 1999 till date?
What is status of inheritance and family judgements made as a consequence of marriages conducted in ikoyi? Are the judgements null and void?
What of those that recieved citizenships of other countries because of marriages conducted at Ikoyi Registry (ironically Ikoyi Registry is the only Marriage Registry recognised by US embassy), do their citizenship become null and void?

Golan007:
Yeah, Ibeto bid for it but was cheated.

Please explain how? Did ibeto bid $300 million and was rejected?

tunjilana:
This one will still end up selling the license to a serious company for profit...a company registered in 2020 with no structure, offering more than airtel that has been around for years...

Then why didn't the company with structure offering more than airtel bid pay the $275.9 million?

In a capitalist system money or rather the forces of demand and supply rules, not emotions or sentiments.

emmykk:
Airtel was not beaten airtel back down.And it is very stupid for govt to give license to a company that have no structure.it is a shame

According to madam kofo, it's a matter of cash

Watin consign gofment wit structure, when $275.9 million is involved. Abi you want make Buhari borrow the money from china?

We4all:
You got to be kidding me! 11-year-old isn’t 11Months old. Are you trying to say an 11-year old is free to do whatever he likes?

I never said an 11-year old is free to do whatever he likes. What i said is that the responsibility for the actions of an 11 years lies with its parents, guardian or care givers.

Even my aunt that pampered her kids used to hold her son responsible when he clocked 8. Even at that, I felt it should have been earlier than that.

Exactly what I am saying. Parents should hold their children responsible for their actions. Meanwhile the society and the law holds the parents responsible for the actions of the ordered children. That's why an 8 year old cannot be arrested or prosecuted for crimes they commit, their parents are.

As a 7-year old, I could tell what was wrong or right and don’t feel bad about being raised like that.

You will be surprised that most 7 year olds don't know what's right or wrong but acquire the rights and wrongs of their parents. Some 7 year old children of Muslim fundamentalists had been taught by their father that beheading an infidel is right.

You should bear in mind that life is unpredictable and you may not always be around your kids. Now is the time to catch them young and mould them for what lies ahead.

This statement is contradictory. How can you catch them young and mould them when you may not always be around due to the unpredictability of life? The bottom line is people should not be having children they are not prepared to raise.
That's why in civilised climes, children are taken away from parents who show they cannot be responsible for children.

I presume you read the story of that 9 or 10 year old girl that burnt down a Supermarket intentionally. If her parents had taught her to be responsible, she wouldn’t have done that.

Yes I read the story. But I did not read the final outcome. Was the 9 or 20 year old arrested and prosecuted? Is she in jail or asked to pay for the damages? Please fill us in with the conclusion.

Even my niece who is about her age condemned her and called her wicked. That to me is exemplary.

Every one can condemn her, but can we hold her liable?

Toks2008:
It is easy to make reference to her failed report whilst ignoring many that were true. Even news papers carry false report so what is the point.

Only tabloids carry outlandish reports like aunty kemi. Reputable newspapers don't fabricate stories.

My point is clear so don't make it look as if i don't empathize with the family of the boy..i just choose to be objective rather than getting emotionally sentimental.

Objective? You mean to tell me that someone that believes an 11 year old JSS2 students is now peers to SSS2 and SSS3 students is being objective because aunty kemi says so?

You mean to tell me that an 11 year old consented to be beaten fatally by senior students in order to join their cult.

Sorry to say, but you seem to exhibit then came type of symptoms with aunty kemi.

Toks2008:
You guys are just too sentimental for my liking.

You see this lady ehn, i have learned never to discard whatever she says even if it sounds foolish. I am not saying she is right or wrong neither am i insinuating that what happened to the poor boy regardless of whether he consented or not is justified but we must understand that ''mad'' people in many instances are usually right about what they see or say. So whilst some people tag her mad, her past findings have proved to be true in most cases.

I hope you have learnt not to discard that Nnamdi Kanu is dead, and the person on trial in Abuja is a double according to aunty Kemi.

Reference:
Indeed and that is why lately I have advocated for parental liability for some of the henoius crimes we increasingly see minors commit these days. We just cannot fold our arms and let murder, violence and brigandage go unanswered because they are commited by children. If these kids cannot be charged and held with adults then their parents must answer in one way or the other for their crimes.

At the very least they should be liable for civil penalties in such a manner that sends a strong social message that bad, poor or inadequate parenting has dire consequences.

Not just civil penalties but also criminal penalties. The parents of the 15-year-old that killed four students at a high school in Michigan were charged with involuntary manslaughter for allowing their son access to the gun, while the son was charged with murder.

We4all:
He was in form 2. And yes, I have seen younger eyes who voluntarily agreed to join cultism and turned out deadly. The world of today is rotten and children are not as naive as you think.

I have never seen someone blame an 11 year old kid before for their actions. Blame and responsibility usually goes to their parents or care givers.

I have three children and I take full responsibility to their actions.

ThankUJesus:
I am a father either, we are too emotional to an issue, let police do their investigation, Cult group don't force people to join them. No matter what, these people will not go free because no law support cultism in the Nigeria, but which lesson do we learn from the whole thing?

Then you know very little about cultism. Cultists will harass and threaten your life until you decide to join for safety or protection.
