Veteran Musician, ID Cabasa shares Godly Tips About Marriage

-

Veteran Nigerian music producer and singer Olumide Ogunade professionally known as ID Cabasa is worried that the true purpose of marriage may have been forgotten.

In a recent interview with the Echoo Room, ID Cabasa shared his anxieties and emphasized that marriage was not originally intended to be about happiness or feelings alone, as mentioned in the Bible.


ID Cabasa who is the founder of Coded Tunes, the record label that signed Olamide, 9ice, 2Shotz, Reminisce, and others said that the purpose of marriage has unfortunately been lost.

He said, “If I explain this thing, I pray people won’t misunderstand. This is what I practice… in the place of marriage, there is God, the man, the woman, and the kids. Even in the creation of marriage, the purpose of marriage has unfortunately been lost.


‘‘People need to hear me very well so I won’t be misquoted. I say that the purpose of marriage is not to give happiness or satisfy your feelings.”

The music producer continued by saying that biblical teachings regard procreation as the main goal of marriage. Happiness and contentment, in his opinion, ought to come naturally to couples who share this goal.

“The purpose was established in the Bible, and I am using the Bible, which is that we should multiply and dominate the earth, and that was the purpose. Happiness and every other thing is supposed to come as a benefit to you for that purpose. So if you follow that purpose where God is the head and man is the head of the family, this means that the man reports to God and the woman”, he added.

10 Steps to Enjoy Life Again and Break Free from Guilt

 I understand how overwhelming and paralyzing guilt can be. Everyone deserves a fulfilling life, and if you’ve been struggling with excessive guilt and can't shake it off, I’m here to help. Here are some effective strategies to help you manage and overcome it. 1. Let Go of Some Control Taking control of everything can lead to excessive guilt when things don’t go as planned. To move past this, relinquish some control. Understand that you can’t dictate every outcome. Like for example If you always take charge of family gatherings and feel guilty when things don’t go perfectly, delegate some tasks to others. Allow them to help with planning and execution. This will reduce your stress and help you realize that not everything is your responsibility. 2. Stop Blaming Yourself If things go wrong, you might instinctively blame yourself. This is common among those who feel guilty. You often find ways to make it your fault, no matter the situation. Take for instance, I...

How to Navigate the Hidden Rules of Nigeria's Marriage

Marriage in Nigeria transcends the union of two individuals; it represents the merging of families, a celebration of cultural heritage, and often, a display of social status. While public ceremonies are central to the celebration, much of the real drama unfolds behind closed doors during the marriage negotiations. These negotiations are governed by unspoken rules steeped in tradition and culture that can dictate the success or failure of a proposed union. The Bride Price: A Symbolic Gesture with Deep Roots One of the most critical aspects of marriage negotiations in Nigeria is the bride price. This practice is not merely a financial transaction but a symbolic act that demonstrates respect, commitment, and the unification of families. However, the process of determining the bride price is delicate, shaped by various factors including the bride's education, family status, and even physical appearance. In many cases, the bride price is a subject of intense negotiation. Fam...

I met Tunde when I was 26. He was my first love, the man who made me believe in forever. We spent 11 years together, sharing dreams, laughter, and countless secrets. He disvirgined me, and I believed in our love so deeply that I sacrificed everything for him, even enduring the pain of aborting pregnancies six times because he wasn't ready to be a father. But now, at 37, I face the harsh truth my body can no longer carry a child. Tunde, ever the sweet talker, promised marriage, insisting that I had been the foundation of his success. I supported him through thick and thin, helping him rise in his career. But on the day of our traditional engagement, everything fell apart. His parents revealed in court that another woman was pregnant with his child, and they were already planning a wedding for him and this new woman. I was devastated, but my siblings urged me to continue with the marriage. "You've come too far to turn back now," they said. Torn between their...

How To Decode What Women Want

-
Image
Sometimes, women can be hard to understand, but it’s not as complicated as it seems.  A woman might block you, delete your number, and say she never wants to hear from you again—but deep down, she still hopes you’ll reach out. It’s just how emotions work sometimes. During an argument, it’s best not to fight back with words. Just listen. Let her express herself, and when she’s calm, show her that you still care. A simple hug and reassurance can mean a lot. A woman who loves you might act a little differently. She could block you on social media but still check up on you through a friend’s account. She might seem tough in front of you, but break down in tears when she’s alone. Her heart is soft, and emotions can be confusing. Even if you have a fight and there’s distance between you in bed, she might still be checking to see if you’re facing her. It’s not just about the space; it’s about wanting to feel close again. The key is to understand that women, like everyone else,...

"But was it fair? Was his decision just?" Madam Ireti Tells her Story of Regret

-

I sit alone in my small room, the Bible resting on my lap. The verses, once so familiar, seem distant now, as if they belong to another life. I close my eyes and try to find comfort in prayer, but the words catch in my throat. My heart is heavy with the burden of what I’ve done, and I’m unsure if I can ever truly forgive myself. The memory of that day is as sharp as the cane I used. I see Chibuzor’s innocent face, hear his cries, and feel the weight of the cane in my hand. It was meant to teach him a lesson, to correct him, but instead, I took his life. I can’t escape that truth, no matter how hard I try. The trial is over, but my soul is not at peace. Judge Olayinka was kind, I suppose, considering what could have been. He did not send me to prison; instead, he asked that I serve the community and care for the children, the ones I can still help. He also ordered me to support Nneka, to help ease the burden of her loss.  But was it fair? Was his decision just? I wonder ...
