Posted: 15 Sep 2020 08:00 AM PDT

Popular Nigerian author and lawyer, Reno Omokri, has dropped some words of advice for fellow men on social media.

Omokri in a post shared on his Twitter page urged men to desist from beating their wives.

The former presidential aide told men that God only designed their hands to slap away the disgrace of poverty from their wife.

Reno Omokri also said a man should never raise his hands on his wife even in the midst of provocation. According to him, a man should bear any insult from the wife, or go out when it gets too much.

His words:

"The only thing a man should beat out of his wife is poverty. Never beat her. God designed your hand to slap away the disgrace of poverty from your wife, not to slap pain into her face. Even if she insults you, bear it. If it gets too much, go out!

If you pick the bills in your house, your wife wont pick quarrels with you. In fact, she will join your children to call you 'daddy'. To dominate, simply eliminate poverty from your home. When your wife does not see bills, you will feel thrills!"

The Meaning of Greatness in Nigerian Music?

Posted: 15 Sep 2020 04:30 AM PDT

Greatness is the summation of all the things an artist achieves in his career. In this context, an artist can be great, but it doesn't mean that they are.

Humanity likes blowing up the achievements of things it likes to unrealistic levels.

Does ability always equate greatness?

Once in a while, when you are a MI Abaga, Wizkid or Tuface Idibia, yes. But ability has little or nothing to do with greatness. A lot of talented people do good things in their careers, yet never truly transcend to the level of greatness. Equally, some people who aren't prodigiously talented like D'banj achieve greatness with what their music achieves.

Why do people usually equate ability to greatness?

Preference and that is human sentiment. Humanity likes blowing up the achievements of things it likes to unrealistic levels. People also don't understand how to separate their sentiment from fact. Your dislike for an artist doesn't negate their greatness.

OAP Daddy Freeze apologises for calling Oyedepo a bald-headed fowl

Posted: 15 Sep 2020 04:00 AM PDT

Daddy Freeze says he did not intend to dishonour Oyedepo.

Nigerian Broadcaster, Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze has apologised to the founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo for calling him a bald-headed fowl in a video he released 19 months ago.

Known for propagating controversial Christian doctrines, Daddy Freeze, who is the Convener of the Free the Sheeple Movement and Leader of the Free Nation in Christ had come under fire for verbally attacking Oyedepo in the video.

But the broadcaster in a video he released on Saturday, September 12, 2020, said his attention was recently called to the video, saying he didn't intend to dishonour the cleric.

He said, "My attention has been drawn to a video I released circa two years, seven months ago while addressing some pertinent issues that arose back then. I apologise for the delivery of my message and for any insult to Bishop David Oyedepo in that video as I didn't in any way intend to dishonour, disrespect or disregard the person of the bishop.

"The perceived intention to the contrary is regretted. My methods of addressing doctrinal issues have long since devolved to a more scriptural and less confrontational approach. I was and still am very passionate in my quest to address what I believe are unresolved doctrinal issues, however, from a more amiable perspective."

He, however, urged Christians to be open to adopting theological frames of reference for the Christian faith to thrive.
