7 Reasons Why it is Difficult Being a Man in Nigeria

If you are a Nigerian who lives in the country, then you would understand that the society places some sort of responsibility on the men. We get to hear people say things like it is not easy to be a man and the sort.

This is because there is an unrealistic expectation the society has as to the way a man should behave and the things he ought to have at a particular period in time. as a matter of face, a Nigerian man’s life is planned out long before he starts to hustle.

If he hustles for too long without having a major break, there is problem. If he does not hustle at all, he is not a man. If he resides to fate, then he is lazy and when a richer man snatches his wife from him, he is considered unfortunate. What then is expected of a man in Nigeria and how best is he supposed to live his life when the public is sentimental about his life style and what he chooses to do at a particular time.

Find below some of the things expected from a man in Nigeria:

1. He should never cry

When he is bereaved, he is expected to hold himself and comport himself. He is not allowed to give in to emotions because it would portray him as being weak. What exactly is he, a robot?Many people believe it is an abomination for a man to cry and being a man in Nigeria means you have to be strong always even when you are dying within.

2. You are less of a man when you are jobless

If you are a man in Nigeria who is jobless, life could become frustrating. You lose the right to air your opinion because you are tagged a recluse as a result of your joblessness. Hanging out with your friends will be impossible because you would no longer be considered a part of them. Your license as a man is being revoked until you have what it takes to measure up to the other men in the society.

3. You must provide for your family

It does not matter if your salary is a little above 50k, you are expected to take care of your family with it, your wife must look good in the society; your parents have done their best taking care of you, now it is your turn to take care of them.
And you had better save part of that money too because your friends expect you to chat over a couple of drinks once in a while. All these would happen to you because you are a man.

4. Attending a reunion while being broke is not allowed

As a man in Nigeria, you are not supposed to let your old friends see you as a struggling person in Nigeria, attending reunions mean you have to be on your best behavior and show everyone you have made something out of yourself. As a man in Nigeria, you are expected to form up to the point where your helper thinks you should be the one helping him.

5. Your wife should never earn more than you

Being a man in Nigeria means you have to kill yourself in order for your family to live. You are a woman’s wrapper if you seek the counsel of your mother and you half of a man when your wife puts food on the table. Being a man here means your wife’s salary must not be more than yours and you must turn her down any time she wants to help with a bill so you do not lose your title. How sickening!

6. You are not allowed to show signs of defeat

As a man, you are to give everyone the impression that you got things under control even if you do not know where you are. You are supposed to live a false life so as to keep up with the expectations they have of you being a man. You should never accept defeat, it is a sign of weakness on your part.

7. You are to be totally useless in the kitchen

Being a man in this part of the world means your duties do not extend to the kitchen. A woman is meant to look after your needs and do everything for you. You are not expected to know how to do simple chores in the house; if you are able to boil water to a hundred degrees, you have done something extraordinary.

I Will Re contest In 2019 – Goodluck Jonathan – See His Reasons

Former president Goodluck Jonathan has declared his interest to run for presidency in 2019 in Bayelsa State today. A jubilant crowd erupted as news leaked that the former president would be holding a press briefing this afternoon.

In a statement released by his media secretary, the former president said, he has been inundated with calls from famous Nigerians to reconsider and salvage the economy from the current decay under the APC led government.

The statement reads in part: “A while ago I stood at the stood Eagle Square, to offer myself for election as the President of our beloved country on the platform of our great party; the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). I decided to run for office because of the many troubles our dear country faced. In a hotly contested election, we ‘lost’ the election to the opposition. We would have rejected the election results but decided my personal ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.

“I made it clear then that when I leave office, Nigerians will understand the freedom they enjoyed under my administration. Are my I saint? Certainly not. Were my Ministers saints? Certainly not. But the opposition have unleashed untold hardship on Nigerians. I read from the news how power generation dropped to zero for a few hours. I read how the minister of State petroleum told Nigerians that he is not a magician to fix Nigerian oil problems. As we speak, subsidy regime has returned. As we speak the current government have reverted pump price to where we left it.

“Over the years, the Almighty God has made it possible for me to develop a bond with you and I am grateful for your support and understanding in the difficult periods we have journeyed through. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, as I stand here this day being April 1, I declare to you that our stewardship has not been without challenges. We dealt with waves of insurgencies, vandalization of our nation’s pipelines and armed banditry. Let me crave the indulgence of all present here to stand up to observe a minutes silence in honor of fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers who lost their lives in Agatu. The situation in Agatu and elsewhere has cast a dark cloud on our Nation but we will surely win. A number of young men and women have been kidnapped by these criminal elements including our daughters from Enugu and Kanu States.

“During my tenure, we established a Presidential Initiative for the North East, the Victim Support Fund and the Safe School Initiative. These programs built Almajiri schools and opened brand new universities across all regions in this country. I read how the APC led government dissolved the governing board of universities and sacked the vice chancellors. We did what we did to better the lots of less privileged among us. Today, those dreams are but a mirage.

“I am grateful to all Nigerians for standing with me and my ministers despite the persecution we have so far face by the current administration. Let me also thank the leaders and elders of our great party, the People’s Democratic Party, for the opportunity reposed on all PDP governors and House of Assembly members. I am overwhelmed by the trust, confidence and support of the various organs of our party, the Board of Trustees, the National Caucus, the National Executive Committee, the National Working Committee, the PDP Governors Forum, members of the PDP Caucuses of the National Assembly, and others. This trust showed itself in the just concluded Rivers state re-run elections. This day affords me the opportunity to continue the conversation of development we started together. We must develop our country.

“Our power generation and distribution companies have now been privatized. I have read how that process is to be reversed. If given a second chance, myself and the PDP will ensure that we return the Nigerian state to the path we charted for her. We are firmly on the road to guaranteed regular power supply in the months ahead. We cannot go back to the old ways, where there were long queues at our filling stations due to irregularsupply of products and our people were exploited. We cannot go back to the old ways, when women and youths were denied opportunities in government and in responsible positions. We had skewed distribution of tertiary institutions. Whereas some states had more than one degree awarding institution, some had none.

“Under my watch, our economy was the largest in Africa. Dollar exchanged at 150 to a dollar. Today, the “CHANGE” in our economy is obvious. In 2009, average life expectancy was 47 years, by the end of 2013, it was 52 years. We overcame Ebola, and in the process demonstrated the strength of the Nigerian spirit. We cannot go back to the old ways where individual freedoms were trampled upon and citizens were locked up for expressing their views or criticizing government. We must continue to have free and fair elections. We cannot go back to the era where ballot box snatching and stuffing became the norm. Where your votes never counted. Certainly, we cannot!

“I see a Nigeria that thirsts for progress with children across the nation, eager for knowledge and safely in schools! I see a Nigeria where all who have taken up arms, would again embrace peace! I see a Nigeria where our women can aspire to any heights, without hindrance! I see a Nigeria where the flames in the Eagles will rekindle, and the Falcons will soar higher in victory! I see a Nigeria where the children of Mustapha, and Christopher, Ade and Ada, Timi and Bunmi, Nnamdi and Namadi, do not go hungry!

“I see a Nigeria where all, no matter their beliefs, live in peace and harmony! I see a Nigeria where one day the next generation will take us to outer space. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, I have been faced with many challenges since leaving office as President. I have received more international awards as an ambassador of peace than when I was the president. But should we do nothing when our nation burns? With your support and encouragement, we can change the course of our nation.

“Let all compatriots arise and seize the destiny of our nation once again. Nigeria is destined for greatness. Today, as I present myself once again to contest for the 2019 presidential electionssay to Nigeria, that working together in love, in strength and in faith, we will build a nation of one people, united in purpose and in action. Fellow Nigerians, it is forward ever! We must put our hopes to work! Together, we will realize our collective destiny.”

Thank you.

God bless Nigeria.

Dr Goodluck, E. Jonathan, GCFR

7 Reasons To Password Your Devices

We have very many reasons to password protect our devices, these are some the main ones.

1. Friends

We all have that one nosy friend who wants to poke his/her nose into everything you’re doing. They ask, and if you deflect their inquiry, some persist while some even go as far as investigate albeit illegally. So locking your device might prevent unwanted prying into your business from friends and even enemies in friends clothing.

2. Family

For the married folks, you discover that one needs not spread every dirty linen in public. Children become irascible, extended family members become over bearing at times. So restricted access to your device might save you some embarrassment from family members and even children who may inadvertently stumble into very sensitive materials or information.

3. Children

This is just like the child lock for vehicles or parental guidance for the TV. Children can be mischievous at times. Once they discover an app they like in your device, they keep running it till your battery runs out irrespective of the power situation. So in order to monitor their use of your device, you need to password it.

4. Colleagues

At work, some colleagues are actually competitors. Marketers who need to meet certain targets can bear witness to that. Some can steal your clients, others that are jealous could derail incentives coming your way or stand in your way to promotions via correspondence they might obtain from your device if not locked.

5. Chats & Adult content

For those who deal in adult content, it is actually very necessary to have your device locked as anyone could just get hold of your device, and trust Nigerians with their prying nature, the first point of call is your videos and pictures after your messages. I mean, it’s a terrible attitude, but most people just like reading peoples chats, SMS etc. like it is theirs. I hate it. Even spouses should at least have little privacy, not total but little. Unrestricted access to your device could make your relationship sour and your pastor watch your porn in church!

6. Theft

This is actually one of the most important reason. Everyone would have at one time or the other misplaced or had his/her device stolen. In such cases, there is no way to ask the new owner or bearer not to delve into what you have inside. Many people have their codes for banks, schools, businesses etc. in their devices. These come in very handy to robbers who snatch your devices to have access to your bank accounts or worse things. Could even lead to blackmailing via the contents one could have in the device as was obtained some time ago with those telecoms staffers that went to frolic Dubai then misplaced their phone. So it is very important to password your device in that regard.

7. Battery and Keyboard

I once went to visit a lady and the mum. While there with all the churchous gist and what have you, I observed that I was hearing a mourning sound attributed to adult movies. On close observation, I noticed that my phone was actually the source of the sound and on bringing out my device, it was playing the hot raunchy video live. Thankfully my hosts didn’t notice as the volume was on low and I had to struggle to just put the phone off. Just imagine stuff like that happened while in a bible school or prayer meeting. Also, you could dial numbers by just sitting down or press a key by so doing thereby draining your battery, but if the device was locked, none of these will happen.
