@Onsogbu So where are the weapons or any evidence these boys are bandits? Being in possession of “Ogun” is not a crime in our country, we can’t descend this low and allow people like this man take laws into their hands.
As a man, I don’t like children being prevented from seeing their father. Even though I was raised by my mother alone, she did not prevent me from seeing him and was often pushing me to go and see him. A lady called COCO LAMB posted this on Facebook and it made me feel emotional.
“Today was my first time ever spending Father's Day with my Dad, and although he doesn't look like it in the picture he enjoyed church and looked forward to today just as much as I did.
For most of my life, I was robbed of the experience of being a "Daddy's Girl."
Growing up, I was constantly told that my dad didn't do anything for me. I was told he never paid child support. I was told he always had excuses for why he didn't show up. As a child, I believed those things because they came from the adults I trusted.
Then, at 33 years old, I learned that none of it was true.
During a conversation with my aunt, she shared something that completely changed my perspective. She told me that every Friday, my daddy would drop off a check for me. The problem wasn't that he wasn't paying it was that the amount wasn't what my caregiver felt it should be. Because it wasn't enough in her eyes, it was treated as if it was nothing at all.
I also learned that at my school plays, swim meets, and other events, my caregiver would often start arguments with my dad. Anyone who knows my father knows he's not a confrontational man. Rather than create a scene or disrupt my special moments, he would quietly leave.
When I confronted my dad with what I had learned, he went and pulled out an envelope. Inside were copies of checks dating back to 1995 and receipts for clothes he had bought for me throughout the years.
Tunk is known for being a smooth OG. Always dressed sharp in a Kangol, cleaner than a whistle. He even had pictures of me dressed just like him from head to toe in leather skirts, boots, sports jackets, and Jordans that he had purchased for me.
In that moment, my heart broke.
I realized I had spent years carrying resentment toward a man who had been trying to show up for me all along.I apologized to my dad for the anger I had held onto for so many years.
Then I started thinking about the man I know today. My dad shows up for everything involving my daughter. Every event. Every milestone.
Every opportunity he gets.
The core of who he is has never changed.
And if he's willing to show up for my child, I know he showed up for me.
I asked him, "Why didn't you fight harder? Why didn't you tell me the truth?"
His response is something I'll never forget:
"I knew one day you'd be old enough to see things for yourself."
That answer hit me harder than anything else.
I hate that it took 33 years for me to see the truth, but I'm grateful that God allowed us the opportunity to begin a new journey together.
I share my story for the women who use their children as pawns. For the women who minimize a father's efforts simply because he's not doing things exactly the way they want him to.
Be careful.
The resentment you encourage a child to hold toward their father may one day become resentment toward you. Children grow up. They mature. They ask questions. They connect dots.
And eventually, they become old enough to see things for themselves.
Happy Father's Day !!! Especially to the Dads who are doing their best, but for some reason your best isn't good enough” - Coco Lamb
Hilarious but that the reality of a lot of immigrants abroad. A message to both dependant and main applicant; be supportive to each other with love and humility.
Between Rufai and a guest (Kelvin) on the Arise TV morning show
Rufai: Do you have the bank transaction indicating the payment of $7m by Mr Farouk to the schools in Switzerland ?
Kelvin: I'm not the one who made the accusation.
Rufai: No, no, no, no. Kelvin, Kevin, Kelvin, Kevin, Kelvin, Kelvin. You're here to speak for the Dangote Group. You speak for the Dangote Group. All I'm asking is the evidence of the transactions by Mr Farouk to the schools.
Kelvin: When the matter gets to the court and they request for evidence, the parties will produce evidence in discovery.
Rufai: Can you confirm if Dangote has that evidence?
Kelvin: Let us wait for Dangote to produce the evidence in court.
Rufai: So you do not have the evidence as we speak ?
Kelvin: I'm not the petitioner.
Rufai: Kelvin, Kelvin, Kelvin Kelvin, you're not the petitioner, but you're here to speak in favour of the petitioner (Dangote).
Kelvin: Because his interest is the interest of Nigerians.
Rufai: No. This is your own interest.
Some Nigerians have started waking up to channel their ranting/criticism to the appropriate quarters.
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. So many greedy and dishonest noisemakers...
