Being financially dependent on a man is prison – Joro Olumofin advises ladies
Popular Nigerian relationship expert, Joro Olumofin has taken to social media to advise ladies never to be financially dependent on a man.
The self-styled ‘Love Doctor’ advised ladies to work hard to earn their own money because for him, financial dependence on a man is more like putting oneself in prison.
Sharing the post on his official Instagram page, the inscription read… “Ladies, it is very important to have your own money. Financial dependency on a man is Prison.”
However, some of his followers saw reasons to agree with his assertion and position. See some of the comments below:
@Nehitaney… “Many girls won’t understand this joro.. Its frigging painful I swear seeing my gender put their hope on guys when if they put in work, they can be richer than the guys they depending on, wealth was not tailored for only men… Its well…”
@Ozeiza… “Can’t agree less…on top your money sef, they will still try, once you resist, they start blackmailing you with “Bible says wife should be submissive”.
The story behind Master KG’s ‘Jerusalema,’ one of the most Shazamed songs in the world
One night in 2019, DJ Kgaogelo Moagi, popularly known as Master KG, called up singer Nomcebo to come to his Johannesburg studio to record a song.
“‘But it’s very late,'” Nomcebo recalled telling him. “‘You want me to come now?'”
When she got there, the beat Master KG played gave her goosebumps; she loved it. It would later come together as the global hit, “Jerusalema.”
However, Nomcebo didn’t think she could come up with lyrics right away and asked if she could work on it at home. Master KG gave her the confidence she needed to do it that night, but she still shooed him out of the recording room so she could have some space to think.
After a few more listens, Nomcebo had an epiphany.
“Something came out from my mouth. And I was like ‘Master KG, come back, come back. Where’s the earphones?’ And then we recorded around midnight,” she said.
Though the lyrics are sung in Zulu, “Jerusalema” quickly rose to global fame. At the time of publication, the track is the second-most Shazamed song in the world — behind only BTS’s “Dynamite” — and the music video has over 185 million views on YouTube and counting.
The song has already landed Master KG five African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA) nominations and countless celebrity shout-outs — in part thanks to the global dance challenge inspired by the song.

‘There is some amazing talent out there, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of our entrants went on to work as car designers one day – perhaps even at Rolls-Royce.
‘The most important thing I’ve learned from this competition is that whatever our circumstances, we have the power to create amazing things, because our imagination is always free to fly.
‘I hope the children who took part will recognise this, too, and that it will be something positive they can take from their pandemic experience.’
A private organization, ‘Domak Group’ has reaffirmed its commitment to support the Federal Government in creating employment for the youth to move the nation forward.
Mr. Kingsley Azonobi, Managing Director of Domak Shelter Ltd. disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, 9th October in Abuja.
Azonobi said the support initiative was as a result of the organization’s activity to celebrate the 60 years of Nigerians living together as one entity and as most dynamic and innovative people.
In his speech, he said “The journey has been excellent, educative, interesting and encouraging in the sense that we are still together, it is not that easy to hold on to a nation.
“So many elements have tried to break us apart, but Nigeria cannot break, no matter what anybody wants to do, we are one Nigeria and we will remain one.
“It has been a very successful journey so far; the motivation behind Domak empowering youths and the needy is borne out of passion to give back to the country.
“We tried our best to motivate unemployed youths; we just issued employment letters to six youths out of many that we have employed during COVID-19, in spite of many companies shutting down.
“We reviewed our strategies and came up with lots of initiatives to create employment within this lockdown; we have employed not less than 35 youths and other Nigerians.
“We have added a lot of job opportunities to this government and that is what we are here for, to support the government,” he explained.
Azonobi urged Nigerians to always speak positively about their fatherland, adding that negative things come to people who speak negatively, while positive things attract good things of life.
He decried negative messages by people on the social media about Nigeria that portray the image of the country negatively.
“Once you speak positively about your nation, you will get what you speak,” Azonobi said.
