Kemi badenoch speaking Nigerian English and Yoruba saying she loves Nigeria during her father's funeral some years back. IN THIS SPEECH she declares her love for Nigeria but today because she wants to sound hardline to please her British conservative, her tone is different
And our God arose like He promised!
Let somebody shout Hallelujah!!
Glory be to our God for answering our prayers and fulfilling His word.
We appreciate the efforts of all the security agencies in securing the release of our school children and their teachers from captivity.
Congratulations to each of them and their families.
Our God answers prayers. Hallelujah!!!
At the beginning of this year, I wanted to find out how much water I’d drink over six months and eventually, a full year.
So I made a conscious effort to keep every single bottle of water I finished, even the ones I drank while I was out. I’d put the empty bottles in my car and bring them home.
Six months later, I’ve gone through 55 pack and 660 bottles of 75cl Aquafina, that’s a total of 495 liters of water.
Not bad at all.🙂↔️💧
My uncle told me not to get my own apartment cus I already have a car. Men would think I am a prostitute.
So I asked 'should my salary be a giveaway cus I don't understand.
I apologise, we had to block Nigerian residents from the faucet because most of them were withdrawing the $5 that was meant to be for testing the product.
These students of Olabisi Onabanjo University requested for a N15m investment. They run a loan shark business for university students at 30% interest rate.
After their presentation, it turned into a lecture.
Kyari Bukar asked them about their WACC and they couldn't answer.
Elders say that when a man loses his footing, the ground shakes for everyone around him. Everything I will be saying here is the wisdom I got from my father.
Let me tell you one hard truth. Your husband is not fighting you; he is fighting his own shame. You said he took over a successful family business and brought it to ruin right? While you thrive? That is a huge confidence breaker.
His demand to take over your business is not about the children needing attention. It is a desperate attempt to feel like a leader and a provider again. No let anyone whine you.
And here you are. You do not want to lose your business and you do not want to lose your marriage. But there is a way our mothers handled it. A lot of our grandmothers were very wealthy market women, sometimes richer than their husbands.
But they understood that a man's ego will never allow him to sit at home and watch his wife feed him everyday. If you fight him head on over ownership, he will become toxic and he will find faults in everything you do just to prove he is the head of the house. Don’t go that route.
Instead, our mothers survived this by practicing invisible leadership. They gave the man influence without handing over the treasury.
Firstly, do not fight him face to face. Bring in that one uncle or elder he respects deeply. Let the elder soften the ground and make him see that taking your shop will not rebuild his father's company.
After the elder has spoken, sit him down and make him the chairman of your business. Let him handle the big suppliers, the landlords, or the government people. Give him a title that commands respect when he steps outside. But keep the bank tokens and the daily market operations in your own hands.
You also have to feed his need to lead. Consult him on things you already have the answers to. Ask him if you should buy ten cartons or fifteen, even when you know you are buying fifteen. It makes him feel in charge of the family vision.
Then, if the business is making good profit, free up some capital for him. Tell him you want him to use his experience to start a new branch or a completely different venture. Give him his own project to build.
When a man has his own vision to chase, he will stop fighting you for yours. That is how you keep your home peaceful and protect the sweat of your hands.
Allah knows best.
Please sis,I need your advice urgently
My life is fast becoming unstable. I'm losing it entirely
My husband started well
He didn't have to go to the job market after he graduated
He took over his father's business
Good business. Money was coming in
I was working in Abuja while he stayed in Lagos before we got married
I left my job to join him in Lagos after our marriage
I was looking for a job but he didn't like it
He believed he was comfortable enough to provide for our family
I insisted that I will like to work. I got a job
We have three children together
We were doing well
Two years ago, something happened
I left my job to establish my own business
I was doing well
His business had been going south
He accumulated a lot of debts
I had helped to offset some
I gave him money to revive his business but the business eventually collapsed
The problem now is that he insisted on taking over my business while I stay home to care for our children
He said the children are growing up and will need more attention and support
In the last three months, he had been threatening to divorce me if I don't hand over my business to him and I become a full housewife
I don't want to lose my marriage,neither do I want to lose my business
Please ma,what can I do?
I'm already depressed
