Conseils de sécurité

*CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ RECUS ET RETRANSMIS PAR UN DES PATRONS DES SAPEURS POMPIERS. VEUILLEZ LES LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT ET LES TRANSMETTRE À VOS PROCHES.*

1. Ne jamais aller au lit la nuit avec le réservoir d'essence de votre voiture vide (pas de carburant). En cas d'urgence, que faire notamment si votre bon voisin n'est pas à la maison.

2. N'employez jamais une nounou (bonne ou Fille de maison) dont vous ne connaissez pas sa maison ni des parents. Certaines d'entre elles sont des trafiquants d'enfants déguisés ou des voleuses.

3. Ne jamais vous coucher avec votre téléphone vide (pas de crédit). La plupart des situations d'urgence se produisent la nuit.

4. Ne pas se tenir debout ou stationner votre voiture sous un câble haute tension, surtout quand il fait du vent violent accompagné de l'orage et des éclaires avec des tonnerres. Risque  d'électrocution.

5. N'essayez pas de démarrer votre générateur avec là lampe torche de votre téléphone comme source de lumière. Cela pourrait provoquer une explosion.

6. Ne pas répondre aux appels téléphoniques dans la cuisine lorsque votre cylindre à gaz est allumé. Risque d'incendie et/ou d'explosion.

7. S'efforcer de ramper à terre sous la fumée si une maison est engloutie par la fumée, car la marche debout pourrait provoquer un étouffement. La fumée et les gaz chauds sont toujours en haut à quelques centimètre du sole et ainsi l'air frais se retrouve en bas au ras du sole.

8. Si par erreur, vous avalez un os de poisson et vous n'avez pas de médecin ou d'infirmier à côté, léchez le sel et tirez vos oreilles pendant que vous toussez pour faire sortir l'os de poisson.

9. Si vous êtes dans un embouteillage ou "go slow", comme dans le langage local, si vous devez rester dans votre voiture alors qu'elle n'est pas en mouvement, appliquez toujours votre verrou central.

10. Ne jamais laissez vos enfants seuls dans la voiture avec votre chien ou tout animal de compagnie.

11. Aujourd'hui, ne jamais faire un auto-stop seul. Nombreux ont disparu comme ça.

12. Ne jamais laissez votre boisson ouverte pour recevoir des appels à l'extérieur. Ce pourrait être un plan pour vous distraire. Beaucoup ont été empoisonnés comme cela.

13. Ne vous précipitez jamais pour fermer le robinet en entendant son bruit pendant la nuit. C'est une nouvelle méthode de vol qualifié qui vous amène volontiers. Rappelez-vous, vous ne l'avez pas laissé ouvert avant d'aller au lit.

Mon frère, ma soeur, prenez conscience de votre sécurité et ne négligez pas ces conseils ou consignes.

Je suis un gars de Nkong "ça ne te dit rien"

J'ai grandi à Nkongsamba...tout le monde se traitait comme de la famille...
On allait jouer dehors, on était toujours content et on mangeait ce que notre maman se donnait la peine de cuisiner.
On déjeunait avec les Tintins ou les Beignets Haricots, parfois du pain beurre et du sucrer pour avoir le goût du lait, rarement du chocolat, la confiture était la nourriture des blancs, on buvait LA top grenadine pour rougir nos lèvres, on partageait nos bonbons sifflet et nos bonbons ALOWA, quand nous en avions, ça nous coûtait 2 à 5 francs !
Les filles jouaient à la poupée, à la corde dans la rue, nous jouons à cache-cache, au ballon, a la chasse aux lézards, on grimpait aux arbres, on se faisait un super délire sous les gouttières déboîtées quand il pleuvait, on cassait des amandes ou palmistes, les filles jouaient à la dînette avec toutes sortes de graines et de fruits et la boue servait de chocolat.
On faisait des cabanes, on jouait à la balançoire chez nous on avait une grande cour arrière, on aidait à la maison, on se baladait à vélo sur le trottoir sans casque ni protège-genou.
Le soir après notre bain a la bonne fontaine, on n'avait pas de pyjama on dormait sans vêtement pour ne pas pisser au lit et mouiller le lit et au plus tard 20h on était au lit et sans discuter.
On n'avait peur de rien, on était chez les uns et les autres et nos aînés n'avaient pas à s'inquiéter pour nous. Chaque parent était le gardien des autres enfants et chaque bêtise était rapportée. ....
Quand un aîné du Quartier te corrigeait pour une bêtise commise on osait pas rapporter à nos parents sans quoi on devait être corriger deux fois de plus une fois pour la bêtise et une autre fois pour t'être plaint de la correction infligée par l'aîné. Après tout il ne voulait que mon bien.
On nous a appris, le "Respect" des autres. Étant enfant, tu n'avais pas à interrompre un adulte qui parlait... Ce n'est pas avec des armes que nous réglions une dispute...
A la tombée de la nuit, on savait qu'il était temps de rentrer à la maison.
On aimait aller à l'école parce qu'on nous avait appris à respecter les enseignants et c'était un plaisir de voir chaque jour nos copains de classe. 🙂
Très souvent, nos parents nous conseillaient de sortir jouer avec nos camarades afin de renforcer nos liens d'amitiés, sortir de la solitude et faire de l'exercice physique pour éviter l'obésité.
Nous allions nager au Big wata ou à la chambre noire. On cotisait de l'argent pendant des mois pour aller danser le 25 décembre à Chebou.
Pour danser avec une fille il faillait donner 25f. Pour coller il fallait donner 50f. Un zouk du groupe Zouk machine était 75 f quand il y avait moins de fille il y avait inflation le prix pouvait monter à 100 f.
Un ami payait l'entrée ensuite soufflait sur le cachet et collait sa main sur celle de son camarade afin de reproduire le cachet sur la main de ce dernier qui n'avait pas d'argent pour rentrer s'amuser. Après tout l'ambiance n'est belle qu'en groupe.
Parfois on rentrait avec la faim au ventre heureusement qu'il y'avait à manger dans toute les maisons du Qt. Sur ce plan n'importe qu'elle maison nous servait de restaurant.
Nos parents connaissaient la voix de chaque enfants du qt. Lorsqu'on refusait de partager un met avec un camarade nos propres parent les prenaient et donnaient l'intégralité à notre ami la prochaine fois on s'empressait d'en donner à nos amis.
On fermait nos bouches face à nos aînés parce qu'on savait que si on leur manquait de respect, on avait "juste ce qu'on méritait". La pire des punitions était : "tu n'iras pas jouer dehors". ou un parent qui disait je ne veux plus le voir marcher avec mon enfant était pire que la peine de mort.
On devrait plus souvent repenser à tous ces moments heureux, parce qu'on est en train de se perdre dans une société sans respect, ni autorité, ni aucune compassion, ni bienveillance pour les autres.
Le bon sens se perd également, de même que la notion du bien ou du mal... ❤
Que c'était beau cette époque.
Fais un copier/coller en inscrivant l'endroit où tu as grandi, si tu es fier/ère d'être d'une communauté tricotée serrée et n'oublies jamais d'où tu viens.

Le sac et le sein

J'entre dans le taxi🚖 une femme🤱🏾 me demande de tenir son sac à main car elle veut arrêter le sein pour donner à l'enfant. Je lui dis de laisser je tiens plutôt le sein et elle demande si je suis normal!
Si quelque chose se perd dans le sac on va dire que oooh oooh 👮🏾
J'ai mal réfléchi?

Ways to correct Your wife without hurting her feelings

*13 WAYS TO CORRECT YOUR WIFE WITHOUT HURTING HER FEELINGS*
********************************

Most Men do hurt their Wives in the name of correcting them. They speak harshly, they are so rash in their approach and can be very brutal.

Lots of women are living their lives in bitterness and anger due to the careless ways their husbands have been talking to them over time.

Here you will be able to know the right ways to talk to your wife without hurting her:

*1) LOWER YOUR VOICE:* Don’t shout at her, she is not your housemaid, she is not a Child. You can correct, yes, but why shouting?

*2) DO IT IN LOVE:* Correction should be done in love if done in any other way it turns to criticism and condemnation.

*3) DON’T CRITICIZE:* Stop criticizing her, rather correct in love. Most will say it’s constructive criticism, true? It means disapproval by pointing out errors and mistakes. Correction is the act of offering better options to mistakes. Correction and criticism are never the same.

Husband A says: what manner of food is this? is this popcorn or fried Rice? how I wish I marry a more sensible wife, with better home training, who can cook better.

Husband B says: Sweetheart this rice is too salty and dry unlike the one you did yesterday. I think salt should be reduce any other time because of our health.

Husband A criticized, Husband B, corrected his wife in love. Stop criticizing your wife.

*4) PRAISE HER FOR WHAT IS RIGHT* : It will be wrong to correct when it’s not well done when you don’t praise when it’s well done. Form the habit of praising and appreciating your wife for good deeds.

*5) DON’T DO IT BEFORE YOUR CHILDREN:*
Avoid correcting your wife in the presence of your Children. Incessant correction of your wife before your Children will make them disrespect her.

*6) DON’T CORRECT HER IN THE PUBLIC* : Avoid correcting your wife in the public, it does not show you as a gentleman, and will affect her self-esteem.

*7) AVOID CORRECTION IN ANGER:* Stop correcting your wife in anger, shouting, ranting, beating and making trouble. Real men don’t do that.

*8) DON’T COMPARE HER WITH ANY OTHER WOMAN* : In your thought of correcting her, you might have been comparing her with other women. “Don’t you see what your friend is doing?” “Can’t you learn from our neighbors wife?” “and so”. This is very wrong, no woman love to be compared with others, stop it.

*9) AVOID REFERRING TO OLD ISSUES*
Avoid referring to issues discussed and settled, stick to the present issue, discuss like adults and move on.

*10) DON’T ATTACK HER WOMANHOOD:* And you call yourself a woman? Virtuous women don’t behave like this, you better change before I change you. This is very wrong, don’t do it.

*11) DON’T ATTACK HER DIGNITY* : You don’t behave like someone with sense, do you think at all? And you said you went to school, I doubt it. This is very wrong, you too, you are not talking like somebody that pass through a college.

*12) DO IT IN TIME OF PEACE:* Most husbands do want to correct in the heat of anger, at the height of misunderstanding, when temper has already hit the roof. That is not the best time to correct, it will yield little or no result.

*13) GIVE A HELPING HAND*: The best way to correct is to lead by example, step into the kitchen to give a helping hand, don’t just sit in the front of the Television correcting what goes on in the kitchen.

Wives are doing a great job, appreciate yours and support her to be a better wife and mother.

THE POCKET MONEY SYNDROME OF THE NIGERIAN FEDERATION

THE POCKET MONEY SYNDROME OF THE NIGERIAN FEDERATION: NECESSITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE RESTRUCTURING
by Dr Adetolu Ademujimi

"Pocket money" is a descriptive phrase for the stipends usually given by parents or caregivers to their kids or wards alike to school as basic upkeep support. Nigeria's current adminstrative  architecture can be likened to that run by a large nuclear family. The Federal Government (FG) is a Nigerian father with 36 children. He likes to be "seen" to be doing something. He presides over the hundreds of companies he owns,even when he has come of age and too old to face the rigour of daily work. So even on his dying bed, he wants to be seen to address the welfare of his 36 children so that he can be called "Abiyamo tooto" (true parent). How does he attend to their welfare? It is by doling out pocket money to each of them.
"Daddy, you are now old, having worked hard for 58 years to make ends meet. You gave us pocket money in high school days,all through university, till marriage. We all planned for marriage  based on the pocket money. In marriage,you still won't let us work. We pay our children school fees from the pocket money. Each of your 36 children now has tens of children - your grandchildren - to cater for and as such we implore you to hand over many of the companies to us so that we can fend for ourselves and also you", said one of his children.

"No, it is not necessary. After all, I increased your pocket money because you have more children than your brother. Your brother's pocket money is also less than yours because he has less number of children", the father replied.The father therefore refuses to let the children run the companies regardless of his low productivity that cannot suffice in providing more funds to the 36 children. Yet, among his friends, such a father is seen as a workaholic and family-loving man. "Oh, your father works so hard to put food on the table of each of you, 36 of you with dependants for that matter. I hear he still pays you pocket money to offset your daily bills including the school fees of his numerous grandchildren. There are no fathers like him anywhere. He is so large-hearted ", said his good friend.

"He chose to belabour himself till now. If he lets my siblings and I oversee the paint company, oil servicing outlet, tax firm etc, they will be more efficient and rewarding for the family. We will have funds to take care of him in old age and relieve him of several needless tasks. Our children will also see us as responsible fathers who do not look up to their grandpa for daily needs.   We will take our destinies in our hands by planning better for the number of more children to have, their choice of schools, number of aides to employ & their remuneration etc. At our ages, why should these plans be based on the expected stipends from our father?", one of his sons retorted.

The implication:
The above tale illustrates the realities of our current adminstrative structure in Nigeria. It is most unfortunate that many educated Nigerians do not understand the enormity of the malady in which we swim. The largely uneducated and impoverished Nigerian population is of course more disillusioned than the ignorant literates. Since I was born about thirty something years ago, the states have survived on pocket monies. A Governor assumes duty and predicates all his programmes on Abuja's pocket money. The FG, in order to be "seen" to do something, is glad to stay in Abuja and wallow in its Messiah complex by:

A. Planning to eradicate poverty from Abuja through centralized Poverty reduction strategies. E.g, creation of loans for 100,000 small & medium scale enterprises (SMEs) by the Bank of Industry. Who says each of the 36 states, If allowed to be self-sufficient, cannot float soft loans for a minimum of 10,000 SMEs each with a combined reach of 360,000 as against the paltry 100,000 that may attract some applause among those who "see" FG as doing something? Can centralized planning of poverty reduction strategies REALLY curb the poignant growth of poverty in a country with the world's highest number of poor people?
B. Managing all viable resources on behalf of  all 36 states and taking more than 50% of the accruable funds while leaving 36 states to share a little above 20% and 774 local governments compete for less than 15% of the total. If the states can be given the constitutional leeway to manage their resources, more funds will be available to address the peculiar needs of the grassroots.
C. Seeking foreign investors on behalf of the entire country. These investors will end up on the soil of one or more states in the long run. Where is it written that were a young man like me to be the Governor of my state,I do not know how to use Google app to search for potential investors in my area of strength? Will  I require  the national help of Abuja to purchase  air tickets and make hotel reservations to have investment meetings with these investors in their countries? Can't my Commissioner for Natural Resources, in whose purview the development of the local resources of my state lies, accompany me and others on such foreign trips without necessarily having Mr. President and the Minister of Trade or whoever go on our behalf?
D. Making assumptions that the disease priority of different parts of a geographically large and multi-ethnic country like ours is homogenous. Consequently, the Federal ministry of health (FMOH) formulates a "generic" policy for all states to adopt and  "domesticate", when in reality, healthcare partners are likely to be guided by the problem statement of the country  as narrated by FMOH in showing interest in states' health priorities. In other words, a state with more pressing health problems than malaria might have to "pray" to attract the attention of partners because the readily available ones within the country might be focusing more on malaria for instance, going by FMOH's strategic policy direction. When therefore, does the Schistosomiasis burden of Idogun community in Ose LGA or Schistosomiasis prevalence of Ipogun community in Ifedore LGA  (both in Ondo State) attract partners, compared to their Malaria and HIV issues that may be below the country's national average? Meanwhile, malaria and HIV programmes in Nigeria have a handful of partners.
E. Opting to expand the access roads to and from the Apapa port in Lagos because of its financial muscle. Why will Ondo State for instance, if able to liberate herself from the dependence on Abuja pocket money, not partner with appropriate technical & financial bodies to develop a seaport in Ilaje local government that is reputed to have given the state her economic profile of having the longest coastal line in West Africa? Will such a seaport not decongest a contiguous Apapa port, earn substantial revenue for FG and the host  Ondo state as well as result in several other chains of developmental initiatives for the state?
F. Retaining Ministries such as Federal Ministry of Water resources etc. Why can't we have State Ministries of Water resources and LGA department of water resources that will form the visible engine room for providing access to water for millions of Nigerians?
G. Continue to manage an Akure-Owo-Oba akoko-Ikare akoko-Isua akoko road axis that takes over two hours to drive through en route Abuja. Rather than have the Federal Ministry of Works or Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA), whose officials may never ply this road in 6 months, get burdened by the responsibility of managing that long stretch, the economically viable states can take up this task.

Phased Adminstrative restructuring:
I recommend that the way out of this connundrum is not just to tinker with the current administrative structure of Nigeria but to do so in phases over a transition period of 16 years commencing from 2019 to 2035. State Governors are constitutionally empowered to spend 4 years of a single tenure with a maximum of 2 tenures. Thus,the transition period should span the adminsitrative life of at least 2 Governors and at most, 4. Just as we taper down the dose of steroids in clinical practice, the dosage of pocket money to states can be reduced gradually from the current amount in the start year to zero by the end of the 16 years. During this period, states will be encouraged to strategically position for the pocket money "exit" by ensuring the following,
i.) aggressively develop their easy-to-market natural resources
ii.) control their population growth
iii.) institute public- private partnerships that are lucrative,viable and sustainable
iv.) control the size of their public service workforce to manageable proportions etc.

The fortunate Lagos is an exception:
Lagos State is perhaps a little different because at some point, it was the most favoured child going by its strategic acquatic prowess that necessitated the location of the country's capital on its land. The seas surrounding and running through Lagos endeared the state to importers and early National governments. By  so doing, Lagos profited from all the infrastructural paraphernalia that were provided to boost its profile as the capital of Nigeria. It thereafter consolidated on the mega-infrastructure  to attract massive socioeconomic attention till date.

Conclusion:
The FG, whether led by APC, PDP or any other political party will only continue to be "seen" to be working so hard to shore up revenues for the country. Yet, it cannot effectively distribute national wealth through the current development-stiffling administratitve structure. Even if we stop corruption today and pull all our financial earnings together in one room, the strategy as it stands today, to disburse our collective patrimony can at best guarantee pocket monies for the federating units that have been bullied and nearly annihilated by an overbearing father. The pocket money syndrome has destroyed the self-esteem of the 36 children. Hence,the FG should decentralize the administration of this country with dispatch.
