My Pix from Annual Light Up Awards Maiden Edition

MKEDS.....Fine boy,Fine Music!! Download "Rekpete" & "Maiduguri" NOW

MICHAEL EDWARDS

So this “foiiiiine” boy is my friend’s younger brother oh and he has released two HOT tracks  "Rekpete" and "Maiduguri"which may be found HERE and HERE.

But that is not even the gist!

The gist is that  I was friends with Naetochukwu's  (a.k.a Naeto C)  sister and I knew him way back since my college days but I didn’t get on the groupie/fan club train on time. How was I supposed to know knowing him could get me on a private jet in future.

Same with Chukie Edozien (A.k.A Lynxx)...his sister and I used to roll in work tinss back in the day. How was I to know that a picture with him would get me a bank loan in future.....but now I am wiser ... I know MKED’s  sister and I am so sure he is going places too. Knowing him might get me an all expense paid trip to the Bahamas  or somewhere more exotic in future... so I have advised myself to get on the groupie/fan club train early.

Please people DOWNLOAD  DOWNLOAD sharp sharp and lets take him places with our front row tickets in our pockets :):) *humming to myself* Rekpete.....

 

 

“Frenemie”

Frenemies is a reality

I know you are used to "having friends" then "having enemies"  but did you know there is such a thing as frenemy?

They are your friends and your enemies at the same time.

So close enough to give love and recieve your love but yet so full of hatred. They smile when you progress and laugh when you fail. Sometimes they are far more successful than you by all means and standards yet when you progress they are sad, mad or angry. One wonders why?

Can you identify them around you?
Be aware and yet beware of frenemies....Lol!

Holy Spirit Help I made a Mess

Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. 

They say “he that is already down needs fear no fall” but what happens when he that is up there falls and then make a huge mess?

 Do you react like Saul and make excuses? Or like Judas and go and kill yaself rather than face the shame?

Or do you blame the whole world but yourself? Like Adam  (Cos Eve was literally the whole world…Lol!) Or do you pretend it never happened and go a great length to cover it up?  Like David first did with sister Basheba?

 For me I recommend you say a little prayer…”Holy Spirit please help me, I have made a huge mess. Please help me clean it up”…. and yes He will.

It might sting but he will help you cos none of the options above will help clean up the mess and even if they did, they might leave a HUGE stain but with the Holy Spirit. He can even wipe blood stains and make them pure as snow.

So give it a try right now. Say Holy Spirit Help!! I believe I just made a mess.

Funny story

The night before the election, Mitt Romeny was very confident & told his Wife Ann "this time tomorrow night, you'll be sleeping with the President of the United States".

After Mitt's concession speech, they head to bed. Ann was getting undressed when she asked,.."so how does this work?? Is Barrack coming over here or I'm supposed to go over there??"

Oh No! If it was a Nigerian Aspirant this woman would be in admission by now.

D Band versus D compere

 

 

I know I have complained about Yoruba live bands at weddings on this blog before but I beg, I just have to do this again oh because this last wedding I compered, the band made my life miserable.

First they brought the sound and it was not sufficient for the hall so some guests couldn’t hear everything well because of where they were sitting. Then while I was still talking, they started singing in Yoruba that time is going …when I asked them why?  They said they didn’t want people to get tired and leave without spraying them. I was confused, Are you the bride? Are you the groom? Are you the father or mother of either bride or groom? I waka go my own…Announced the toast and then the dance.

No be him my couple danced and finally went to their seat but one of the parents was still dancing and getting sprayed but I wanted them to start rounding up and I wanted to use the mic to begin to say “Thank You”, “Thank you” gently so they will begin to wind  down…HA! the band had turned off the mic and refused to turn it on again insisting that they were recording.

And that was how that spraying dragged on for another 10 minutes as they were hoping some cash will fall and reach them. The last wedding I compered where this thing happened, the groom from Obodo Oyinbo A.K.A America ran to the band and asked them to carry their load and go. We had to beg him.

Well the guests didn’t seem to mind and that’s the important thing and my couple used the opportunity to walk the room. Different strokes! But oh well I prefer actual professional  wedding bands…They are more professional O jare…Which one is after the couple has paid you, you still come and look for people to spray you and they were saying its part of their work to be sprayed…Lol!

 I don’t know if I will ever understand that thing but anyhow the people I am drinking cough syrup for didn’t seem to have a problem with it….So let me take a chill pill.

Abeg if you guys can explain this spraying matter to me please feel free.

 Is praise so powerful? I hear some people even spray all their money and regret later

HA!!!! Why do people then need marijuana??? Let’s just be hailing ourselves naaa…Lol!

Today’s show on HOMEMAKERS 10-11-12

Today’s show was especially interesting for me on the radio…I laughed so hard …the topic was about coping or managing the negative habits of spouses. So na me find trouble, I started with “farting” Lol!

One guy called to say there is nothing wrong with farting as far as it is in his palace and his home so his wife should deal with it…Another called to say it is romantic when he farts and his wife responds with hers…he feels it represents their bonding…Lol!

Then one woman called to report her hubby that he doesn’t flush when he poos and she has to call her kids to do so  for him everytime and she isn’t happy…she went into details oh but I don’t want to freak you guys out, you might be eating as you read this. Lol…So I had to beg the man on behalf of all the Homemakers in Nigeria to please flush after he poos….Do you still want to marry? …Lol!

Later I was regretting not asking her if she had reported him to his mum…Can be so frustrating when you remember something you could have said on radio when you are already on third mainland bridge. Hiss!!!

Anyways when this quarter is over I might just upload all the episodes of the show if you guys are nice to me. I hear it’s quite interesting…I don’t know sha… I’m not the listener.  As with every episode, one or two callers were either a friend or a relative and I’m always delighted to hear their voices while I pretend to be serious…some  times I just laugh. Thanks guys…for all the encouragement and support, I am grateful …but I haven’t even started yet.
Stay with me for MORE.
God bless you

Yes people are still getting married and my services are still available to compere their reception events...So call me.

Lost but found….Careless Owner!

I compered a wedding this week. So at the wedding someone lost their phone. A simple Nokia  phone, which I announced for the owner severally until it occurred to me to take it home, charge it (cos it was off and dead),call the contacts on the phone and trace the owner (Both bride and groom’s people did not know how to go about the matter, they were too distracted to even answer me).

 No be him I reach house oh was about to charge the phone and started thinking and over analyzing the matter…what if the owner has swapped the line? What if….(I can’t remember all the what ifs again)…but I remember that I then remembered that my house help has destroyed her 50^th handset since her 3 years in my house then I started entertaining the idea of keeping the phone sef and giving it to her….It has come home with me after all  athink????

So I went out and before I thought of the phone again…over 24 hours later… my darling PDoc sent to me from above had returned the phone to the owner.  From what he told me it wasn’t even an easy process. He had to call several contacts from the address book with the phone (who didn’t know the number because they didn’t have it saved on their phones)… then he finally called someone who accepted that he was a relative to the owner and struggled through the Yoruba communication and the rest is history. Phone and owner have been united with plenty thanks.

The owner later called, she was visiting Lagos for the wedding and she had since returned to Ibadan. She was so happy.

When Pdoc told me, I was happy and humbled because I understood what the scripture said in Psalm 23 that “He leads me in righteousness for His name sake”. If I kept that phone, my people no be thief be that??…Lol! But I thank God  who made me forget about the phone but rather gave the matter to my husband to handle.

PDoc actually said the thought also crossed his mind to keep the phone but he threw  the thought away and went the extra mile to return it to the owner. There are times in our marriage though, when he was the tempted one and I played the role of “goodie two shoes”.

It helps when you marry a true practicing Christian, you help each other avoid HELL FIRE..Lol! I am so glad phone and owner have been united. Praise God.

My PDoc now has his own HOSPITAL....Praise GOD!!!

Signs and Wonders

Yesterday was an ordinary day started normally and took quite a dramatic turn from 12Noon. One man in FESTAC (whom my husband has never met before) summoned PDoc through a man my husband once treated his relative. And now as we speak my husband has a hospital where he is the managing partner, MD and part owner. OLUWA!!!

 The man is a doctor who lives in America. Before he left, he had a hospital in FESTAC . He came home recently and saw the need for the hospital still exists but the place is not running properly and his kids are not available to run it neither are they capable or interested. So he summoned my PDoc and told him to take the hospital, treat it as his own, employ people, pay salaries, make money for himself and if there is anything left he can give him but really it’s not about the money for him, he just wants the hospital to be alive and bubbling. PDoc asked for how long? The man responded..."actually forever!"

The house belongs to the man (no rent expenses), the hospital has beds and start up furniture, equipment, generator etc. with one staff for now.

I went there today and PDoc showed me round.  It’s a full duplex with BQ in short…a perfect canvass for a beautiful picture!

This can only be GOD.

Twice now in the last 2 years PDoc. has desired his own hospital so strongly, he actually took steps to get one. The first time he was going to borrow money to make it happen and the payment terms were STEEP!!! We would have been soaking garri to RISEEEEE!!!! before eating  

The second time he started asking people if he could use their garages in that same FESTAC. Both people that he should have asked and people he shouldn’t have bothered about but they all declined. Today a whole duplex of hospital fell into his lap on just an ordinary Saturday morning. This PDOc  sef that was how he went to buy egg one day and came home with a new car for me also received free of charge. Lord I praise you for these ones and I am patiently waiting for my house keys. Thank sir

Seriously now it was so shocking for him, he was so taken aback, I had to start encouraging him that it is possible and it has happened to him. Lol!

Right now renovation and restructuring work will start after his final exam to become a consultant which is in less than 2 weeks and he will open up the hospital to the public when all that is done by God’s Grace in 2013.

I bow my head in worship to the only wise God; Marvelous, Merciful, Generous, Omni potent, All powerful Helper of the Helpless, Connection of the unconnected, Father to the Fatherless, Lifter of the beggar and Master of the universe.

The most beautiful part of the story is that the man who connected PDoc to the doctor was the agent of the property PDoc. couldn’t afford years ago and had to let go of (though the Landlord actually refused to allow the property to be used for a hospital, I think that was what actually stopped him from taking the loan).

The same agent was somehow referred to PDoc when his relative broke down and PDoc of course gave his excellent service and the relative is fine today.  The whole thing reeks of Joseph… Prison to Palace story.

 I am grateful oh Lord, my family is grateful…right down to my 2 nannies plus my cat and dog (if I had one). PDoc has never looked for a job since he left school,  well  paying comfortable jobs looked for him. You have always gone ahead of him and even now that he is about to wrap up his residency program, You oh my LORD have given him a full business to handle. Baba you too much!!! Receive the GLORY. This is what fathers do for their sons, You have done it through a stranger.

My dear friends please read and be encouraged. For anyone trusting God for a forward moving miracle, Count your present blessings, be thankful and be Faithful….God is Faithful and will show up for you.  He is doing it for people everywhere and your situation will not be different.

An ibo gospel song says “He will not reach your turn and change”... I say GBAM!!!!
