Brace Yourselves Ladies as The Beautified Network presents “Queens Arising!”
I was one of those personally disappointed last year when President Buhari said his wife belongs to his kitchen, his living room and za oza room. Quite a distasteful speech if you ask me especially when you consider that fact that he was speaking as a guest Angela Merkel, of one of the most powerful women in the world. Some say he meant it as a joke, others said its his own internal family issue. Story biko. The damage was done.
In an age where many feel women are meant to be relegated to the background, some destiny-conscious ladies aint having non of that crap.

As President Obama leaves office…..my top 10 Obama pictures.
In a couple of days, US President Barack Hussein Obama will vacate office. No doubt he has been one of the finest presidents America ever had. I would describe his leadership style in one word………” unconventional “. Here are ten of some my favorite pictures of his unconventional presidency……. 
We will sure miss him.
You made it !!!
It’s finally here! 2017. I’ll start by saying a big congratulations to us all for making it through 2016. Yes we made it……….made it through the increase in pump price of fuel which we have all gotten used to by now……….made it through the ridiculous dollar exchange rate………….made it through MMM.. (lol). A big congrats to you for making it through your personal struggles which no one knows. Just like Travis Greene sang, indeed I believe God made a way for us all.
Welcome to 2017. I just have a special feeling about this year. Probably has something to do with the number 7. Number of perfection and completion. God made the world in 7 days. Believe me this year is going to be lit with miracles. Yep, miracles. Speaking of which, that’s the word for the year at my church David’s Christian Centre. In 2017 I am a Living Miracle
You are included too. Here’s what I think 2017 will look like: it will be a year to finally get off laziness and work towards the fufilment of your dreams.It doesn’t matter what your dreams are, they can be actualized but it depends on how hungry and thirsty you are. Here’s one major tip : delete procrastination!
Don’t do it tomorrow if it can be done today. Don’t do it later if it can be done now. Stop waiting for the perfect time. It will never come. One of my major goals years back was to attain a Masters degree from the University of Lagos. I tried a couple of times but it somehow didn’t work out. Other times I simply postponed it. All this while, my friends who had the same ambition had enrolled and completed their Masters programme. Well, in 2015 I finally decided that enough was enough. I drove to Unilag, bought the Post Graduate degree from, wrote the entrance exam…….
…….passed the exam (phew), started the programme ( which was another challenge altogether) and finally completed the programme late 2016. You are all hereby invited to celebrate with me on the occasion of my convocation in Unilag this January 2017.
In 2017 you must take the bull by the horn. Aggressively pursue your dreams. Don’t limit yourself. Like Nike said……
That’s the key word for this year guys. Just do it. Quit complaining. Quit complacency. Quit wishing. Quit thinking. Just do it. Don’t even wait to feel like doing it. Don’t rely on your emotions. They are very fickle. Rather rely on your determination. Be determined ( in Kanu Nwankwo’s voice).
I’ll stop here for now. But as you progress into the new year and make your plans, remember to make God your guide. That’s the only way they’ll succeed.
Everyman will have his day.

Comedian Francis Odega gets his own customized toy, shares inspiring message.
Life just keeps getting better for Etisalat ambassador and popular actor / comedian Francis Odega. His career took a major boost last year as his popular slangs “gerrarahere”, “for real mehn shiii” and “whollop” landed him with sweet endorsement deals and awards.
Now, he has his own Etisalat branded miniature toy……
The toy looks exactly like him and voices his popular slangs and catch – phrases too. Do y’all see the resemblance?
The comedian shared the news on his instagram page and also displayed his awards won so far. He then left a touching message reflecting on his sufferings before he got to where he is now, quoting that he used to cook a cup of beans with sand….
Congrats to him.
Indeed, everyman will have his day.

Nathaniel Bassey shares hilarious but helpful tips for fasting.
Ever wondered why you hardly make it through a fast? Well, Popular Gospel artiste Nathaniel Bassey shared some Interesting and helpful tips for making it through a fast.
The points seem funny but you gotta admit………He made sense. Enjoy…..
1. Avoid frequent trips to your refrigerator. The more you look at those biscuits, cakes, and chocolates, the more they appear unusually beautiful and attractive to you. If you continue, you may suddenly realize those things have voices. And they will call you.
2. Don’t hang around the kitchen when something is being cooked. Most times, your favorite dishes are always prepared when you have decided to fast. And for the strangest reasons, your nose would begin perceiving them strongly in a whole new light. At this point you may even perceive how an ordinary boiling water smells like fried chicken. Just run.
3. Don’t sit staring at someone eating. You naturally gravitate towards something you behold. The glory of food has a way of shinning brighter the moment you decide to fast. Just walk away.
4. This is not the time to hold business meetings at your favorite food joints. Especially those bukas where they openly display the assorted meats and food. When you keep seeing people carry their plates of food to eat, you may suddenly buy that argument that God is a God of grace, and would understand that “body no be fire wood”, and if you broke the fast there and then, that his grace is sufficient for you. Men and brethren, Just run!
5. When it’s time to break the fast, please don’t begin with pounded yam. Abeg ! You may suddenly need God as your Jehovah rapha. Begin with some liquid or fruits. If possible forsake the swallow family till after the fast. If you can.
6. Because you are not eating, your mouth is not busy and that sometimes cause it to release some perfumes. Therefore, some mouth spray and menthol can help. This is not the time to whisper a word of prophecy to someone in their face if your breathe isn’t fresh. They may just fall. And it won’t be the anointing.
7. And if you are doing the liquid only fast, please be informed that custard and Quaker Oats don’t fall into this category.
8. Finally, pray. Fasting without prayer amounts to a personal weight loss program.
God bless you saints. Hope this put a smile on you faces. May you experience God in a new way as you seek him is Season.
Thanks Mr. Bassey. I’m sure “most of us” have been delivered. 😆😅😆

Inspiring! Kirk Franklin celebrates 20th wedding anniversary.
In America where marriages last for seconds, Legendary gospel artiste kirk Franklin recently celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with his wife Tammy. Awesome. Never even knew he was married for that long.
Read the inspiring message he wrote to celebrate it……..
Can I take my time?!
Get past the jacket, the shoulder pads, and the grill before retainers! Today I celebrate 20 years with this woman! We were young, I was dumb, she came from a good family, I had NO family, but she was patient; not stupid. A prime example of how a good woman can change a man without breaking him down. My past was sketchy…she knew that. She didn’t compromise her standard but helped me reach it. Every song you’ve heard over the last 20 years, she wrote it. She was every lyric, every key change spelled her name. We’ve seen dark days together, but we saw them, TOGETHER. Men can be dumb at times, and want what’s newer, fresher, or what our other “head” thinks is better… But to fail Tammy, is to fail God. To cheat on tammy is to cheat on the kingdom, my children, and even you… Those who trust me to chase Christ with everything I got. I’m not perfect, but I’m still in love…with Tammy. Happy 20th anniversary baby! (See bae I did it without saying something nasty!😋)
Congrats to the lovely couple.
Everyman will have his day.

About ENITAN
A family is faced with the challenge of multi-directional transition from the familiar to uncharted territory. A young, career husband has lost his wife, left with a ten year old daughter whose performance in school suddenly creates new worries.
Another woman is stepping in into the lives of father and daughter. Amid all these, Enitan, the challenged daughter is rapidly losing confidence in herself and steadily finding schooling a nightmare. The step mother steps in diagnoses dyslexia? Can she turn the situation around, would she succeed where many others have failed?

It is both a feast and a learning!

Pics : Lagos island “follow follow” beggars
In my early in Lagos, I usually frequented Lagos island aka èkò for anything I needed. Ahhh….. Lagos island.The place was just a life saver. Marina was a popular route and still is.
Only problem I had then was the menace of beggars and I’m not talking of the little kid beggars. I’m referring to the able – bodied rascal men who will snoop from behind you the moment they spot you with a bag or some form of purchase. The next thing you hear is their coarse voice ” egbon ejoor find me something”. How many of y’all feel me? At first, your first instinct and reaction will be to hold your bag tight and walk fast but they quickly catch up with you and others join. You begin to wonder ” is there gold on my forehead? No be this small bag i carry”. Those guys used to annoy me. I recently spotted some of those gum-body beggars harrasing some pretty aso-ebi wearing women along marina and i just had a good laugh………
At this point, I will do either of two things. Either I slap somebody………or I slap somebody.
First, one shows up behind you. Then you walk fast, then he walks fast too. Then another joins him, and another and another. It might not be so bad during the day but picture this scenario at night. E no go funny.
Let’s share our experiences guys. How did you handle them when they came at you? and how can the government arrest this trend biko?…..
Everyman will have his day.
Mechanics or Mad men?
No they are not mad men. Infact they are fully sane. I was on my way home couple of days back when i sighted these three wisemen. I really don’t know why our mechanics have to look this way. ……….
We really can do better than this. One day, we just might arrive here…..
If na so e be, to become mechanic go dey hungry person. Lollll

Sorry Bruce, A man can NEVER become a woman
Take a close look. Is this arm male or female?
God is no fool. God cannot be mocked. If God made you a man, He wasn’t confused when He did. Poor Bruce Jenner, thinking he can change himself into a woman with a $70,000 plastic surgery. …..
Well, this picture has gone viral no doubt but something struck me when I looked at the picture again recently. Notice it?………….He’s actually hiding his arms.Yeah. Thats no picture pose .The plastic surgery may have done some wonders for his face and breast but like I said, His arms are still very masculine
Here’s a closer look…..
Also , i’d really love to see a picture of his genitals as evidence that he’s now a woman. This is a good reason to be a doubting Thomas.
Truth is, he can only pretend to be a woman but cannot and will never be one . Not just him but all those who have followed this path of confusion. That wasnt God’s plan.
What they need is prayer not plastic surgery.
May God help us.
Use that rod!
Saw this on Alibaba’s instagram page and it just made so much sense …
God has blessed us all with gifts and talents. Problem is most of us are totally oblivious of what ours are. And so we envy and lust after others. But if you really look within , you’ll discover that you’ve got something within. That’s step one.
Step two is to then learn how to use it.
Moses always had the rod but he never knew how to use it. So much so that he and the children of Isreal almost perished in the sea ……….AND THE ROD WAS IN HIS HAND!.
Don’t ignore the rod In your own hand. The rod is your gift or your talent. Don’t ignore your it. No matter how small you think it is. It’s able to make all the difference.

Why okada riders love rain
Whenever it rains cats, dogs, kangaroos, hipopotammuses and elephants in Lagos, and the streets become flooded, people scramble for safety but not these guys….
For you, it’s a terrible rainfall. For them, it’s the opportunity for a free car wash! I always wonder why they have to wait for rain and floods to give thier bikes a good scrub.
Come to think of it, if you wash your bike with dirty flood water, is your bike really clean at the end of the day.

Rapper MI’s life under threat? or a joke gone too far
Award winning rapper Jude Abaga popularly known as MI recently tweeted that his life is under threat from a whatsapp contact….
But when MI chatted further with the fellow and threatened him with the police to show he wasn’t taking chances, the guy quickly “chickened” out claiming it was a joke…..
I really don’t get why people pull these kind of stunts. How do you threaten someone’s life as a joke? Apparently it wasn’t funny. MI went as far as posting the fellows picture but I’ll be nice enough to leave it out.
Here’s what twitter followers had to say about it…..
Everyman will have his day.
We can learn from this: Buhari driven in “Keke Marwa” in Germany
You’ve gotta love developed nations. They have a way of making life so simple and easy even when it comes to hosting world leaders. Buhari arrived Germany for the G7 summit recently and was driven to the venue in this………
No convoy, no exotic cars, no body guards, no escorts, just a president being driven in a “keke marwa-like” motor. This speaks volumes about how African governments can cut costs and unecessary flamboyance when hosting similar events.
If this was Africa, you can be sure of bullet – proof convoys on the ground and surveillance helicopters in the air to do the same job that a simple “keke marwa” would have done.

Pics: Stanbic IBTC MD Yinka Sanni shares 5 tips on how to have a successful career
Over the weekend, I was privileged to attend a career conference which had the MD of Stanbic IBTC, Mr Yinka Sanni as one of the speakers.
The very unassuming CEO shared five career success tips from his personal experience which I’d love to share with you guys, so, get out your pens…..
1. Do more than you are paid for. Don’t just put up an average performance at work when you can actually do more.
2. Make yourself available as your organisation or company changes or evolves. In other words, grow with the company. Don’t just change jobs because the company is changing. You must have staying power. He explained that most of the positions he has held in the bank before becoming the managing director were offered to him because he was available. He also explained that you can adapt to any position or job role. Limitations are only in the mind.
3. As you work, make sure you specialise and become an expert in a specific field. This gives you the edge and also gives you opportunity to assume leadership roles.
4. Continue to update and improve yourself through training and exposure because opportunities will always arise.
5. Always place the interest of the company or organization first before yours. Don’t be selfish or self – centred. Serious companies will always fish out laid – back or unproductive staff.
In my opinion, it was so nice of him to share these secrets absolutely free when people actually pay through their nose in other conferences and training seminars just to learn from such industry moguls.
Also nice was the fact that about 10 companies were available to interview and recruit job – seekers immediately after the conference.
Here are more pictures….
It was organised by DCC Job Bureau.

1. It is a 3 day event as the name implies. So it will be running from Friday June 19th to Sunday June 21st. As the name implies, all evening meetings.
2. Friday evening June 19th will be When Women Pray. This is the only night we will be praying. We will be holding on to the horns of the altar and making intercession. It will be a night of prayer and worship. Come with all your prayer requests, everything that has been heavy…

Pics: One way bus drivers cause accident at 2nd rainbow bus stop near Mile 2. Something has to be done about this.
Something has to be done about the menace of commercial bus drivers who drive against trafic (popular called “one way” driving).
I witnessed a multiple accident caused by such drivers yesterday at Second Rainbow near Mile 2.
Of course the bus drivers absconded leaving the poor BMW owner to agonize. I could really relate to this having been in the same situation about five years ago along the same axis….
But God was faithful. I wasn’t hurt and neither was the BMW driver. I will do an incisive blog post about this “one-way” menace very soon in my new investigative blog post series titled SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!

Midnight Crew’s Pat Uwaje-King set to release debut solo album
She thrilled us with her sonorous voice on the popular gospel hit song Igwe. Now she is set to thrill us further.
As the whole world awaits the June 3rdParadigm shift that will be initiated by Pat Uwaje-King – one of Africa’s leading Gospel music icons and midnight crew leader – as she gets set for the release of her debut solo album, she has taken her time to give us insight into the collection that makes up the finest contemporary work of art and ministry yet.
“He’s Done Me Well”, Pat Uwaje-King’s latest offering, is a collection of original pieces that is reminiscent of the era of Gospel legends such as Funmi Aragbaye, Good Women choir, Panam Percy Paul and more but employs elements of contemporary music as put together by some of the finest hands in music production such as Wole Oni, Willz, El Jamin, Mr Daz, JTreash, Sammy Young and Joe Pee laced with the rich & anointed vocals of Uwaje-King and other featured artistes bringing on nostalgia for the old time religion without losing the essence of the present days.
Speaking on the forthcoming album, Pat Uwaje-King said;
“Yes, this is my first solo album and the release has been slated for the 3rd of June. I have great expectations from the album due to the virtue that has gone into its production phase – both spiritual and human. ”
During Midnight crew’s 12th Anniversary in 2013, the group announced a need for the amazing four to find expressions and extend tentacles while Midnight crew serves as the springboard from where all other projects will be birthed, hence, the exploration of Pat Uwaje-King and Mike Abdul on solo album projects. It will not come as a surprise if more members of the group follow in the same footsteps.
“There is just too much enveloped in each member and it will be an anomaly to just sit on it and not let all these gifts find expressions.”Pat Uwaje-King said. “I, for instance, have been involved in breeding new talents, coordinating events and as you know, will be releasing my solo album in a few days. Mike Abdul has also released an album under his own label which houses 2 other artistes who are already breaking major grounds. G-Minor has been deeply involved in the coordination of the Zera mass choir and all of us have had to depend on Odunayo Ojo-Onasanya for our projects, as far as quality and wisdom is concerned. We are still very much involved in the group and I am sure you have seen our recent video for the song ‘Mo Dibo’. We are just leveraging on the platform we already have for individual expression.”
Pat Uwaje-King who has been on the album project for about 10 months emphasized on the massive support she has received from every member of the Midnight crew who also rendered their effort on the track “Mbene”. The album cuts across various genres including African Praise Medley, Pop, Soul, Reggae, amongst others and while it includes some of her released singles such as “Eze”, “All Power” and “He’s Done Me Well”, such tracks as “Iyu Kayin Nene”, “Winner”, “Hear my Call”, “Hossana” and more, will also make phenomenal impact when the work is released.
“I am very excited about this album!” She blurted. “It will be very hard to skip any track (laughs). I believe it will not only bless Africa but will also define the future of Gospel music.”
Apart from being the Leader of the Midnight Crew, Pat Uwaje-King is a music consultant, Event Coordinator and Facilitator. She is the CEO of GPK Records, the platform releasing the “He’s Done Me Well” album.

Pics: DCC rewards honest airport cleaner and dedicated trafic warden
Mrs Josephine Ugwu the honest airport cleaner who found and returned N12m was honoured and rewarded by David’s Christian Centre recently.
Mrs Ugwu who said she has previously found N600,000 and N3,000,000 said she was proud to maintain her integrity by what she did. Speaking during the occasion, Pastor Kingsley said her act was very remarkable especially considering the fact that she returned the money when her salary was just N7800.
Also honoured was a trafic warden Mr. Ayanfe Olofin. He was rewarded for being committed and dedicated to his duty post at Amuwo Odofin axis both under the sun, in the rain and even at late hours.
The award was presented by the DPO of Festac Area command. Both awardees also got a cash gift of N100,000 each

Pictures : Pastor ‘Poju Oyemade gets married.
It’s the wedding we’ve all been waiting for in Christian circles and its finally happened. Senior Pastor of Covenant Christian Centre Pastor ‘Poju Oyemade is getting married today February 7, 2015 to his beautiful sweetheart Miss Toyin Fajusigbe. The traditional wedding took place yesterday……
I’ve noticed that these Pastors always get married to very beautiful wives sha. Afterall, the Bible does say “WATCH (look very well)” and pray. lolll. I’ll bring you guys pictures from his church wedding today much later. Congrats Pastor ‘Poju from all of us at JM Blog. Everyman will have his day. Today is yours. Here are more pics………..
PITA recounts God’s deliverance two years after accident
The Bible does teach that we should always remember God’s goodness and faithfulness . “Bless the Lord o my soul and forget not all His benefits….who redeemeth thy life from destruction” – Psalm 103:2,4. That exactly what Gospel artiste PITA did a few days back when he took to his Instagram and Facebook page to recount how God delivered him from a ghastly car accident two years ago. 
Amazingly, the two-time Crystal Awards winner continued ministering and singing to God while his arm was still healing from the accident during the two-year period, when he could have easily taken a break and quit. 
The message is, “there is no excuse for one not to serve God”
Thank God for His faithfulness.

DCC Goes White! : Details of the memorable White Concert @ David’s Christian Centre.
If you were coming to Davids Christian Centre for the first time, you would have easily mistaken DCC for NYSC Orientation Camp with all the “White” everywhere.
It sure was a sight to behold and an event not to be missed. Everybody came dressed in white! I had personally looked forward to this event ‘cos i knew that amongst other things, it would afford everyone the opportunity to wear that white dress that they didn’t know what occasion to wear it for. What occasion was it?………..DCC ALL WHITE CONCERT!………. I can only imagine all the brands of bleach like Jik, Parazone and Hypo that went to work within the course of the week to make everyone come out looking as white as possible. Lollll
On Sunday September 14th, the Victory Dome of David’s Christian Centre was sprawling with White everywhere, not just from the colour of the dome but from the white dresses of both members and invited guests to the much awaited White Concert. I had fun just watching as people arrived…………
Thw White Concert brought out the creativity and fashion sense in a lot of people. Some kept it stylish……………….
Some kept it simple……………….
Some preferd to keep it traditional………….
There were the blokes who wore it “English”…………
Some were the “naughty” and “bad”guys…………..
Others were the “mallams and “abokis”………………………
Did i also mention the “Athlethes and sports men?”..lol..They were all there!…………………………
Now, check out the couples who tried to out-do themselves in white………………………..
….and then, my favourite (and i’m sure Pastor M’s too),. there were the cute little ones……..awwwwwwww.
All departments were good to go and ready to praise God in white, from the Meeters and Greeters……………………
to the Traffic guys…………………..
We also caught a glimpse of some of the guest artistes and invited guests as they arrived the Victory Dome for the White Concert…….
Well, the Bible did say that Christ is coming for a church without “spot or blemish” and this literarily translated to everyone wanting to be as “white” and “pure” as possible for the White Concert. Hehehehehehehe. If you missed it, I”ll just do my best to capture it all here. The interior of the Victory Dome was simply breath-taking in white…………………
The concert kicked off with an awesome praise and worship session by The Rock Image
The MC was Acapella and he was in his usal hilarious elements…..
The cocert paraded several gospel comedians like Chimaralph, Bishop, Antom D Gimmick, Odogwu, etc…
There were also ministrations from the Rock Extreme and Soul Impact….ministering salvation through dance and drama………………
Then we had an awesome worship session with Pita, Palmira, MK, PC, The Covenant etc
PITA shared the testimony of his healing and just wanted to be grateful to God for it. Saw him emotional for the first time on stage as he sang. God is indeed our healer.
Another artiste who was ministering for the first time in DCC was Dubem. her song brought the audiience to thier feet as she ministered with her sonorous voice…….
Palmira also blessed the crowd with one of her new songs……
The Covenant also had a brillant performance as they blessed the congregation……………..
Personally, one of my favourite experiences of the concert was the worship session led by PC. It was his first time of leading a worship session in the victory dome and the heavens just came down. People were ready to mess up their white dresses by kneeling down and pouring out their heart to God as he led worship. It was just awesome.
Then it was MK’s turn. He did justice to the songs “the glory of the Lord is coming down, Odogwu and the crowd’s favourite “Arugbo Ojo”.
Another highlight for me was the energetic praise session led by MK and PC ……….
Then it was time for God’s word and Minister Supo spoke briefly on the significance of white and how it represents purity amongst other things and explained that as christians, we ought to live a pure life.
At the end, a young man walked up to the altar and gave his life to Christ. Believe me folks, if this was the only result of the White Concert, it was worth it!
Akpororo finally wrapped up things with a musical performance. I heard him perform gospel reggae for the first time and though it was different, it was also daring cos he did go off key a couple of times (or was I the only one who noticed?). Lolllll
In the end it was fun and excitement all the way and I’m surely looking forward to the next one.
By the way if you missed it, I hear there’s another gospel worship concert coming up pretty soon which will feature some of these same artistes and more on the Island (MUSON centre) titled “Intense”.
Don’t miss it.
Plus, what’s this I hear about a group of women being FEAR.LESS? 
Don’t miss that too.
That’ll be all for now guys. Thanks for visiting my blog and be sure to visit again. Until then, always remember, “Every man will have his day”

Bbee is finally home : My tribute to Late Blessing Eruogho
Sometime in 2012, my very good friend Victoria Eruogho invited me for her birthday party on the Island. It was really fun and when it was time for karaoke, I requested to sing Stevie Wonders “Happy Birthday” song for her. That was my first attempt at karaoke and I chose that song because I felt I knew the words of the song and I was also pretty confident that I had a good voice. Unfortunately for me, it turned out to be a disaster because not only did I muddle-up the words of the song during the karaoke, but my voice was terrible. I was glaringly embarrassing myself in front of every one and I was practically stuck there until an “angel” came to bail me out. She took another microphone, joined me and sang the song so well. Her name was Blessing Eruogho, the celebrants sister.
This was my first and unfortunately my last encounter with the remarkable singer Bbee.
I didn’t get to meet her after then and I was dumb-founded to find out that she passed on a couple of weeks ago. As I read about her now in various media, I keep flashing back to that personal encounter I had with her and I just wish I got to know her more…….and at least to thank her for “rescuing me” that day. All I can say now is Rest in Peace angel Bbee. Surely you have gone to a better place.
Bbee has since been buried and is now resting peacefully.
Her Biography
Bbee was born into the of family Eruoghos from Ughelli North LGA of Delta. She has a background in Economics from the Lagos State University. Bbee discovered her love for singing as a little child in the church choir, afterward she moved into the adult choir even as a little girl and was referred to as “golden voice” because she was that unique. Music grew in her, which led her in joining a singing band in high school.
She has a special way of singing her school’s anthem, that gave her several recognition and award from the school authority. Upon graduation, she pursued her love for music, singing as backup singer with great Nigeria artists such as Onyeka Onwenu, Sammy Okposo, and Stella Damasus. She was once in the top 20 of the very first Nigeria Idol. Came as a 1st Runner up of the only Sony Ericsson singing competition and moved to form her own band, that played in Sheraton Hotel and Towers for several years.
Bbee in a bid to take her music career to the center stage Signed a management deal with Music video director PRODIGY and in the 2nd week of May, she left for the USA to complete her latest single titled “Tif My Heart” Download link: http://we.tl/2dgdZciCF7
The song was due for release and it’s Video billed to be Directed in the US by PRODIGY but was abruptly pushed forward due to Bbee’s ill-health. Unfortunately she lost the fight for life on the 27th of July 2014.
Vibrant Bbee lived a kind and humble life giving a helping hand to everyone that came her way. She left behind a legacy that will forever live on in our hearts, may her gentle soul rest in perfect peace… Amen.

Ok guys I know I’ve been away for a while but that’s a story for another day. However, I do have a beautiful story of love to share today. It’s a story that began about four years ago when I met a beautiful damsel while on vacation to see my parents.
Initially, it was the regular “boy meets girl” scenario but it didn’t end there because the “boy” was determined (in Kanu Nwankwo’s voice, lol) that there was something about this “girl” and so the boy introduced himself to the girl and they became friends and by this weekend, this “boy and girl” will become………. “husband and wife”

Pictures : DCC celebrates Mother’s Day with Bake Sales
I’ve witnessed several Mothers’ Day celebrations but not like I did this past Sunday. David’s Christian Centre decided to transcend the usual and stereotype Mothers’ Day celebration and put together a Bake Sale to honour and Commemorate Mothers……………and its was fun as loads of cakes, pastries, drinks and small chops. It was put together by Chayil, Married Women fellowship. Enjoy……….
