You wanted to surprise your wife by shopping for the family on your way back from work, and as a sharp guy, you wanted to find out if it really cost, let’s say, N10,000 to prepare a pot of ‘banga’ soup as she claims. You stopped at Mile 12 market in Lagos where she normally does her shopping. You bought everything and discovered that ‘madam’ had been playing you ‘boju boju’ with the money for food. You were cursing under your breath and sweating profusely as you pushed your way through the crowded market to where you parked your car and a little boy said, “Oga, you too fine to dey carry your load by yourself naa. See as you dey sweat. Make I help you. Oga I no go charge you too much, na only N50.”A statement like that should have made you feel important, but you didn’t budge. You simply ignored and looked ahead resolutely, much to the little boy’s disappointment.You refused to accept his offer even when it was evident that you were struggling to hold on to the ‘gbogbo ero’ you bought. You didn’t trust the market boy or cart pusher, fearing they could take off with your stuff. Most of us are often guilty of this.Does it ever occur to you that by denying that little market boy or the cart pusher your luggage, you may have denied someone their daily bread? Does it occur to you that if that market boy doesn’t make enough to survive on, he might be forced to go into armed robbery or kidnapping? Who knows if the guys that kidnapped Olu Falae were once market boys and cart pushers who couldn’t make enough to survive daily?Many of us fail to understand how privileged we are that we can comfortably afford both our needs and wants, and that those at the bottom of the economic pyramid look upon us to make their lives better.We fail to fathom the responsibility bestowed on us by the society to make impact on the less-privileged. Why then should we complain when the rate of crime among the youth is ever on the rise?Why do we always put the blame solely on the government when the ‘agberos’ and the jobless among us make our neighbourhoods unsafe to live in? With our selfishness, we are daily churning out criminals borne out of poverty and who are engrossed in their current trade because we care little about them.No society that is borne out of selfishness can rid itself of poverty, disease, and uncivil people by wholly relying on their government to do so. No society!We all bear the responsibility of creating the society we wish for. I am not supporting kidnapping or lazy people, but it is appalling to see the huge economic disparities that characterise our society.The capitalist mind that has built the modern Nigerian society is unprecedented.Those who reside in urban loftiness do not care whether their neighbours can afford basic needs such as food. Even churches amassing bountiful offerings and tithes don’t care if members of their congregation have anything to eat when they get home after church services.We would rather create a dependency syndrome. Most people with domestic help rarely want their domestic help to develop beyond that status. We want our lowly-endowed friends and relatives to always look upon us when they need help.Don’t you wonder how some entertainers drive the latest Porsche or Range Rover SUVs, yet their parents or siblings can hardly afford food? This has become the definition of civilisation for us. We don’t realise that we only need to help out just a little to make someone’s life better.How many of us have been committed to ensuring that the poor but bright child in our neighbourhood goes to school, or helping a dutiful house help to learn a skill that will help them become independent, or simply creating a job for a hard working and disciplined jobless person?Would Nigeria not be a safer and better place if we became our brother’s keeper? We are all guilty for the spate of kidnappings and insecurity in the country. Everyone is guilty, including me.

HMMM!!! A HEART TOUCHING ARTICLE FROM ETCETERA ON KIDNAPPING
GHANAIAN ACTRESS ELLA MENSAH TALKS ON HOW HER B**BS GOT SO BIG
Ghanaian actress, Ella Mensah, who is currently in Nigeria shooting a movie, says she wants to be the best Ghanian actress in Nollywood.
Looking at her busy schedules since she first hit Nollywood in 2012, it appears the actress may have an ace up her sleeves.
Her most notable films include Educated Housemaids, 11am, Mirabel, Crime to Christ, Playboy, Couples on Fire to name a few.
But one feature you cannot miss about the Ghallywood star is her taunting big boobs with deep cleavage. In this exclusive interview with Showtime Celebrity, she talks about how her boobs got big, her journey in Nollywood, and more:
Excerpts Below:
How has life in Nollywood been so far?
It’s all right. The only difference between Nollywood and where I come from (Ghana) is that they shoot more in Nollywood – you are always working. In Ghana, we don’t have many producers, but there are many producers here and if you want to shoot everyday, you shoot everyday but not all the scripts are good. The difference is that here, you work a lot.
What has been your most daring role in a movie?
The daring thing I did was one movie I shot last year where I had to take off my bra. They didn’t show my front, they showed my back, like my back being bare, no bra and all that but I can’t remember the movie title now.
You said there’s a difference between romantic scene and sex scene?
Yeah, a lot of people get confused about romantic scenes and sex scenes. Being romantic to someone and having sex with someone is not the same. You can be romantic to someone without sleeping with the person and sleeping with someone is not being romantic. Sex is sex, romance is another thing altogether. Being romantic to someone is not having sex with the person; sex is different. Sex scenes and romantic scenes are different, people should just get it
What has been your most daring sexual role in a movie?
I’ve had more than ten movies where I had to do a sex scene or seduced someone. There’s one movie I did ‘Educated Housemaids’ where I had to seduce a millionaire’s son and I thought the only way to get him was to sleep with him. A lot of people think sex scenes are real but they are not real because there are so many people behind the scene. You might think that we are under the duvet doing something, we are not doing anything because we put on bum shorts, suits and all that faking things, acting like we’re moaning and all that. It’s all acting
I think Ghana movies have crossed the lines many times when it comes to soft porn?
What people don’t get is that going nude in Ghanaian movies is not all nude. There’s something called ‘cuts and paste.’ If you’re shooting a movie and they say you should take off your bra and then the camera wants to zoom to your front, it’s not your real breast they show, I just want people to know.
Then whose breast do they show?
It’s not real. What we do is that the camera would say action and then the camera would show my hand removing my own bra from my back and when I take it off, there’s something covering my face. We have special effects directors and there’s this breast silicon thing they put across your breast with something to hold it to just let viewers think that it’s your breast. Mostly, we don’t even zoom the front part, it’s just the side and it’s silicon; it’s not natural.
How much are they paying us to go totally nude? This is not Hollywood that they give you a million dollars to go nude; like Angelina Jolie you feel comfortable showing everything because they give you like 15 million dollars but we are talking about Ghana and Nigeria. They don’t even pay anything close to that. So nobody is showing boobs for real here, it’s not true, it’s just cut and paste and they just join everything in the editing room to make it look real
Did your boobs just start growing by itself or you did something?
I didn’t do anything, that’s the irony. I remember way back in 2003, I woke up one morning and I saw something there and I started putting foam in my bra, I didn’t even know I was going to wear bra all my life. My breasts really blew up after I gave birth to my child and I also added weight.
I was size 10 when I gave birth, soon after I got to size 18. I was so fat because I ate a lot and a lot of people couldn’t recognize me. Being pregnant is a horrible thing, I ate like 17 times a day and I became so chubby. When I gave birth, to lose that weight was hell
So you eventually lost weight but your boobs were still big?
Even though I lost weight, I think some of the fat went to the right places and I love it. Now it’s working for me. See now, I’m so endowed now and I love it.
You could say my son gave me a breast job; it’s a natural breast job. I didn’t have to pay any doctor, it was a natural gift from God and I have my son to thank for it.
Everyone knows you as a sexy actress, is it just for show or you really like sex?
Seriously, is there any human being on this planet who hates s*x?
A lot of people pretend they don’t like s*x?
That’s the word you said, pretend. Life is too short to want to fake things. S*x is a beautiful thing when you are with the right person and you’re an adult. It is a beautiful thing if you have your partner, somebody you love and you trust and you respect, why not? S*x is part of our life
What turns you on sexually in the bedroom?
During sex, seeing my man’s face is enough for me
Has any fan ever done anything crazy to you?
Oh God, it’s very bad. I don’t know how they get my number and I keep changing it and yet they get it again. There was a time a fan gave me like 87 missed calls in an hour and he would send me so many text messages that he had a dream he was making love to me and I came and was screaming his name, so we should make it reality. It’s that bad that when I tweet or post something on instagram he would trace it and go to that location to see whether I’m there or not, it was that bad. So many crazy people even on my Facebook page; being pretty alone has its consequences but being pretty and a star can be dangerous.
POPE FRANCIS - VIEW ON THE DEATH OF JESUS ON THE CROSS
See, when it comes to the bible, it is so consistent with the truth that there really is no room for confusion. Actually God is a God of order and one would expect to find nothing but consistency and order in His words.
The Pope in an address in New York said that “humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.“.
“I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca.”
“The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds. God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and not produce fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus Christ and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross.”
Let that sink in.
So first the Pope identifies himself with “my Muslim Brothers and Sisters”. Now, don’t get me wrong, but I love muslims. I have Muslim brothers and sisters and friends. But in faith are Muslims our brothers and sisters?
“The righteous should choose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray” (12:26). We should stay away from foolish people (13:20, 14:7), from people who lose their temper easily (22:24), and from the rebellious (24:21).
Although these close relationships are not recommended, it does not mean we turn our noses up and ignore unbelievers, either. Second Timothy 2:24-26 tells us that as servants of the Lord, we are to be kind to and not quarrel with anyone. We should gently teach those who oppose the truth, and be patient with difficult people. Matthew 5:16 tells us, “Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly father.” We should serve unbelievers so that they may see God through us and turn to Him in praise. James 5:16 says that there is great power in the prayer of a righteous person, so bring your concerns for unbelievers before God, and He will listen.
What does the Koran say about Non-Muslims?
(9:5) And when the forbidden months have passed, kill the idolaters wherever you find them and take themprisoners, and beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent and observe Prayer and pay the Zakat, then leave their way free. Surely, Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. – Sura 2:161
It is not for any Prophet to have captives until he has made slaughter in the land. – 8:67
Fight those who believe neither in God nor the Last Day, nor what has been forbidden by God and his messenger(Mohammed), nor acknowledge the religion of Truth(Islam), even if they are People of the Book (Christians), until they pay the tribute and have been humbled. – 9:29 (another source: ) The unbelievers are impure and their abode is hell. (another source: ) Humiliate the non-Muslims to such an extent that they surrender and pay tribute.
Are Christians infidels? YES TO MUSLIMS. Anyone that does not profess the Shahada is an idolater (worships another God that is nor Allah).
So from the scratch of it, Christianity and Islam are the stack opposites and both hold relationships with non-believers at ‘arms length’. For Christians, it is either to preach to the unbeliever or stay clear lest their influence compromises your faith. For the Muslims, well it says kill! (And the results, every 5 Minutes A Christian is Killed )
But how does the Pope then a man that professes Christianity call a Muslim his brother?
Well maybe because deep down, Islam and Catholicism are one? How?
Well for one, Muslims believe God cannot die.
“And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger –they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain”. S. 4:157
The closest Muslims come to the cross is admitting someone else was crucified or ‘it appeared to the people present’ that they crucified someone.
Now the Pope in His statement has said that ‘humanly speaking” Jesus died.
The common denominator in Islam and Catholicism is that “someone HUMAN” called Jesus died, but God did not die. (According to Islam God cannot die and now according to the pope just the ‘human’ Jesus died, not the “Jesus-Jesus”).
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22
So the Pope can justifiably call Muslims his Brothers and Sisters in faith. And which faith is that? Well the faith of the Devil.
Only Satan would choose to convince you to believe Jesus Christ did not die at the cross. Why? Because it is by the death of Christ at the cross that completes our salvation.
AKWA IBOM GROUP SHOOTS A QUESTION TO APC,BUHARI,WHERE WERE THIS DOLLARS FOUND
The media had reported the purported dollars was allegedly found in the guest houses and the presidential lodge currently in use by ex-Governor Godswill Akpabio, Senate Minority leader.
In a statement signed by the group leader, Ediong Moses, said “Immediately this picture was released by the APC, it became a trending topic all over the social media as many Nigerians began insulting former governor Akpabio saying how could the collective wealth of the people be so brazenly looted by him.
“Many Nigerians bought the propaganda instantly because the picture looked too real to be false until one Emmanuel Umeh a Twitter user @emmaikumeh and Adetutue Balogun @Tutsy22 punctured the propaganda after they carried out a google search image which revealed that the picture APC were circulating all over the social media was that of the mission Iraq billions.
“What the APC propagandist did was to just go to the internet, searched for the image of the missing Iraq billions and started circulating it as the picture of the stockpiles of dollars allegedly found in Uyo and they made the picture go viral.
The group wondered why it has taken the DSS and the APC to produce the dollars found in the state government house.
“Those who were present at the time of the search of the Guest House were the Director of DSS, Akwa Ibom State, The Commissioner of Police, the Head of the Military Formation, Head of the Joint task Force (JTF) and governor Emmanuel Udom. One, therefore, must wonder where on earth did APC and their propagandist get the story about stockpiles of dollars in Uyo Government House?
“The questions Nigerians must begin to ask now after over two weeks of the raid on Akwa Ibom Guest House where stockpiles of dollars was allegedly found in the chalet where former governor Akapbio stayed, where is the $500,000,000 (Five Hundred Million Dollars) Akpabio’s money found as alleged by the APC?
“If it is true that Akpabio had $500,000,000 why did Sahara Reporters an online APC blog recently reported that the Credit Card of Akpabio was declined in a London Hotel and he couldn’t pay his hotel bills there, which eventually resulted into him being kicked out of the said hotel?
The group therefore appealed to Akapbio state to head directly to the DSS upon his return back to the country to claim his $500,000,00.
Recall that the PDP had said the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has confirmed its culpability in a number of anti-democratic actions of government agencies lately, psarticularly the mindless invasion of the akwa ibom state government house and the interference in the activities of the state election tribunal.
