A popular singer, Chinedu Okoli popularly known as Flavour, seem to have had his heart touched the very first time he saw and heard a visually-impaired boy named Semah G. Weifur, from Liberia sing his song. Without wasting time, Flavour visited the boy's mother in Liberia and established acquaintance with the family. In no time Flavour adopted the boy who had a lot of talents and had become a father to the boy since then. This he did without sparing anything: financial, time and emotional energy. Hence it was not a surprise when it was gathered recently that he built a school for the blind in Liberia in honour of Semah and many others like him. Below is a photo he shared as he hugged his son in the midst of other visually-impaired children who are set to attend the school. He has also released an album with his son, Semah which is titled 'Divine' and several videos have been released as well to support the project. Fans have widely appreciated him for this...

But it was just difficult”. “I felt the first couple of sets there were like seven important s...

2018 BBNaija 3rd runner up winner and celebrity, Alex Asogwa, popularly known as Alex Unusual has explained why she rejected a car gift from an admirer for her birthday.

She however received a number material and cash gifts, one of which was a Toyota car gift from her fans.

Responsible fans put their money together to get me the car, while the former was from someone who liked me. It is okay to like me but I didn’t feel it was right to collect a car from an admirer.  He can decide to collect the car from me an...

In whatever form it comes we do realize that when we say that we have a dream we are arguably not making sense. You do not have control or power over dreams in whatever way. They are beyond you, looking at them from pure spiritual cum philosophical realms. It is so because in what ever form they come, dreams are involuntary in one form and equally destined in the other and either or both control us. We don't have them. No, instead they have and posses us or bulldoze their way through us. Those realms are independent of man but need the human form to expresses the purpose of their Creator. Whether viewed from ecclesiastical angle no one goes to bed and decides the type of dream he'd have. You just lie down and the mortal body becomes a vehicle. The inexplicable activity in the brain when we sleep and a combination of the mystical and divine play their games in us. It is through the body that sleeping gives dreams a meaning in work environment, so to speak. Such a condit...

The news of a collapsed building this morning in Lagos Island killing and trapping alive scores of school children is anything but shocking. As at the time of writing unconfirmed reports are putting the number at about 100 pupils. My prayer is that God should mercifully not allow those estimates to stand. May they be a lot lower. Little innocent children and certainly their teachers! What a sad day, especially as the nation is recovering from an estimated number of about 58 persons killed around the country from the most senseless election this country has ever had. Rescue operation The issues of collapsed buildings have been reported variously around the country but in a large part Lagos has had more than a fair share. The reasons are not just structural but negligence and callousness on the part of some quacks that call themselves engineers. The word or appellation “engineer” has been terribly abused in this country. From your regular car mechanic to every Tom, Dick and Har...

A bizarre incident happened recently at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport after a Saudi mother ‘forgot’ her newborn baby at the airport and boarded the Saudi Arabian Airlines flight. According to reports, Flight SV832 from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur was turned back after the woman informed the cabin crew that she had forgotten her baby at the waiting hall of the departure terminal of the Airport. Her sudden realization forced the pilot to turn the plane around back to King Abdulaziz International Airport. The ATC operators were taken by surprise after the pilot informed them about the incident. Executives spent several minutes trying to figure out the protocol to be observed during such incidents. In a video making the rounds on social media, the pilot can be heard making the request, “This flight is requesting to come back…a passenger forgot her baby in the waiting area” “Ok, head back to the gate. This is totally a new one for us!” says an ATC operator. The woma...

One of our legendary musician, Majek Fashek in a video he posted on his social media page said that God has revealed to him some things about Nigeria.

Attitudes are the established ways of responding to people and situations that we have learned, based on the beliefs, values and assumptions we hold. Attitudes become manifest through your behaviour. Attitude Drives Behaviour Your body language is a result of your mental attitude. By choosing your attitude you get in that mood and send out a message that everyone understands, consciously or unconsciously. Almost always, you have a choice as to what attitude to adopt. There is nothing in any normal work situation that dictates you must react one way or another. If you feel angry about something that happens, for instance, that's how you choose to feel. Nothing in the event itself makes it absolutely necessary for you to feel that way. It is your choice. And since you do have a choice, most of the time you'll be better off if you choose to react in a positive rather than a negative way. The Power of Positive Attitude It is not what happens to you that counts; It is ho...

JUST SOME SALIENT POINTS ABOUT CREATIVITY Creativity is not about inventing something totally new, it is about making new connections. You don't have to be a special kind of person to be creative – everyone can do it. It's not about who you are, it's about what you do. You just need to start looking for multiple solutions rather than settling for just one and give yourself permission to be playful and inquisitive, flexible and versatile. Entrepreneurial Creativity How to Generate Great Ideas Over the years of teaching his ideas generation courses, Barrie Hawkins has met thousands of would-be entrepreneurs. Some people were not very good at producing ideas and others were quite good at generating ideas. Some people were very good at it. And a few people had a terrific ability to generate ideas. What makes the difference? Why is it that once we have learnt the techniques and practiced them some of us are so much better at generating ideas? The difference between ...

The Power of Positive Beliefs What you create through your thoughts is a belief system, and that belief system is ultimately what determines whether you live a successful life. The key to changing your belief system is changing your thoughts. Orison Swett Marden wrote in How to Get What You Want, "Stop thinking trouble if you want to attract its opposite; stop thinking poverty if you wish to attract plenty.  Refuse to have anything to do with the things you fear, the things you do not want." Instead you must think rightly about those things you want to attract. Mark Shearon once posed a very enlightening question to a telephone audience, "Are you thinking about what you're thinking about?" Read that sentence again and read it carefully. It's not a play on words. Marden goes on to write this passage about how much our thoughts influence the outcome of our life: "How often do we hear it said of some man, "Everything he undertakes succeeds,...

In continuation of our earlier discussion in the previous post about life being a set of calculated risks, there are 14 RISKS we need to take if we want to succeed. They are: 1. RISK TAKING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED. The road less traveled is a scary road to take. It hasn’t been worn in by previous footsteps, so getting lost is a cinch. The brush has never been trimmed or tended to, so you’re likely to get caught on a branch and stuck in places for a while. The roads less traveled haven’t yet been mapped out and, therefore, the only thing you really have to go on in hopes of reaching your destination is your intelligence, your logic, perseverance, and a bit of luck. However, the road less traveled has much richer plunders. You risk never getting there, but once you do, it’s well worth your trouble. Why not try one today? 2. RISK GETTING TURNED DOWN. That girl at the bar, any girl at the bar, might turn you down. The same goes for whenever you are asking anything of anyone. ...

Kylie Jenner, 21 has been named the World's youngest Billionaire according to Forbes.  For the past three years, her Kylie Cosmetics which she started in 2015, had only sold its makeup online and briefly in pop up shops. But after signing an exclusive distribution deal with Ulta, the beauty retailer, Kylie Cosmetics was rolling its $29 lip kits—a matte liquid lipstick and matching lip liner—into Ulta’s 1,000-plus stores. Then Jenner showed up to the Richmond Avenue Ulta in Houston to greet customers, sign autographs on lip kits and, of course, pose for selfies with her fans.  Over the next six weeks, Kylie Cosmetics sold $54.5 million worth of products in Ulta, according to estimates from Oppenheimer. “I popped up at a few stores, I did my usual social media—I did what I usually do, and it just worked,” she says. Fueled in part by the Ulta expansion, Kylie Cosmetics’ revenue climbed 9% last year to an estimated $360 million. With that kind of growth, and even usi...

Life is nothing more than a series of calculated risk. Everything you do in life has some measure of risk involved – walking, eating, working, studying etc., and you can never have a 100% certainty about anything. There is a chance of completely failing in whatever we do. Whether you agree or not, either you know it or you don’t, but we risk everything, every day of our lives. There is a chance that we might choke while eating or drinking ordinary water, there is also a chance that strolling outside can kill us. There is a chance that as we embark on that journey, we may not get to our destination, that we may not see our loved ones we had promised to see again. There is also a chance that tomorrow with all our plans and aspirations may not come, a chance that things we had planned to do and achieve may not happen.  So, you see that this life is all about risks – you win some and lose others, you take some and leave/avoid others. The totality of your life depends on the...

Nobody likes the “C” word. Cancer is the scariest disease out there but if you catch it early, you have a big chance of survival. Obviously, some of the symptoms associated with the disease can also be contributed to other minor illnesses but it’s ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry and get yourself checked out by a doctor if you have any concerns. Below are 11 cancer symptoms that you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT ignore. Take special care about the last one, since it can often be misinterpreted. 1. Persistent tiredness Feeling tired or experiencing fatigue often can be down to many things, one of those being cancer. Both colon cancer and leukemia can generate this symptom. If you are tired more than what you feel is normal or for a longer period of time, seek medical help. 2.

Most cancers will cause you to lose weight at som...

Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has assured Nigerians that under no circumstance will he mortgage the mandate of Nigerians as freely expressed on the 23rd of February, 2019. This assurance comes against the backdrop of the invasion and arrest of Alhaji Babalele Abdullahi, son in-law and finance director of his group of companies in Abuja on Saturday, 2 March, 2019. Paul Ibe, the media adviser of Atiku said the arrest was a desperate move to have the former Vice President concede and congratulate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

Have you ever wondered how celebrities manage to appear so radiant? Or how they exude an indescribable extra something that makes them magnetic? In this article I will share six easy ways to help you cultivate your own charismatic style and presentation by following simple yet timeless fashion tips. 1. Interview friends, family or colleagues who will give you an honest opinion or engage an image consultant to determine what colors & styles best suit you and are in harmony with your natural features like your skin tone, eye and hair color. 2. Colours– A way to test if your colours are harmonious is to look into a mirror in natural daylight while holding a piece of clothing/fabric next to your eyes or directly underneath your chin. Notice which stands out more – the color or your features. Colours that are “right” put the focus on you and not the garment. For example if you have ocean blue eyes, wearing the same or complimentary blue colour will make your eyes stand out...
