Some would get lucky and some wouldn’t. And some would end up becoming a bone in the neck of the celebrity just cos they have done too much for them to let go. Always appearing in their scandal list and later leading to creating problems for their marriage.
I just think half of the problems in this world would be solved if we as individuals know how to control ourselves.. Meanwhile, the way I run into some upcomings in locations these days, dressed like upcoming prostitudes. I ask myself if its acting opportunity they are looking for or prick. That alone could even put a clause in the mind of someone who could have helped you without asking for anything IF you had dressed properly.
School, you will not go: Audition you won’t go. Na only to dey send dms to celebrity and hooking up with them. Idi omo elomin ma fe j’ona ko to gbon. You think say any celebrity can make you a star? No fam. Only GOD and YOU can make you a star. I’m just worried about these naïve young girls.”

I remember the bitter experience you cause mat at pat akpabio event in Uyo that I had to pay over 500,000 in 2011 or is the Ghana experience that I want to talk about?
Uncountable shows I can go on counting but when life smiled at you, instead of building a longer table, you build a higher fence. Not even one recommendation from you, even when I invited you for my show in 2016, ur so-called manager asked me to pay in millions and when I reached out to you, you said “it’s management and you can’t override them” Instagram self, I follow, you nor follow me back (in adekunle’s voice).
If I put all my invested capital and time when I give to you on poultry, I should be cashing out big time now. let God be the judge but just know that you really bite the fingers that once feed you, na Samklef? Na Emeka? Abi na MC ray? Hmmmmmm I have cleared my mind and am not blackface that will come back to issues, God done settled me and I have moved on.
But remember to follow peace with every man cause who bellefu go still hungry.”

Popular Nollywood Actor, Williams Uchemba, has taken to his social media page to give the reason why he is so dedicated to Philanthropy.
According to Williams, he was laying in his bed in the US when God gave him a clear instruction to return to Nigeria to free people from Poverty.
He added that his foundation is solely to fulfill the purpose of God.
His post reads ;
I hate to break this to you but majority of the time God’s plans looks nothing like what you have planned for yourself, Let me tell you this little story.
Few years ago, I was laying in my bed in California when I got an instruction, very clear and sound instruction from God to go to Nigeria and free people from poverty, at first I acted like I didn’t hear because in my head God can’t tell me to leave the beautiful life he has given me and the little savings I have to enter the slums in Nigeria and help strangers I don’t even know, one might ask how does God even talk to people? well one of the ways you know is God/Holy Spirit talking is he tells you what you know you can never tell yourself and what your flesh will not be comfortable with.
The voice was constant for weeks so in other not to act as though I am disobeying I started helping some few white people in the streets of Los Angeles( still have some of the videos in on my page) but I noticed that the more I do that the more i feel guilty, empty and out of line from Gods plan because it was not what I was instructed to do. It took me 2 months to finally agree to travel to Nigeria and immediately I landed in Lagos from nowhere a heavy compassion for the less privilege quadrupled in my heart, I was thinking God will give me billions as he has asked me to help people but instead of money he gave me a heart of compassion for the poor and before I knew it I started to empty my account to help people.
You don’t help people because you have, you help people because you want to and feel their pain and God who sees your heart will provide what you need to give.
Whenever God gives you a VISION he makes PROVISION for it, and because our ways are not Gods ways what you might think is the right way might be the opposite for God( Isa 55:8-9) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”.
The only reason the platform is given to the fulfill the Purpose of God.

He wrote,
“Six days to my wedding day, the girl I had earlier planned to marry said she was no longer interested.
Our ministry was barely 1 year old with exploits and I wanted to marry as well.
The wedding date was fixed on 16th April, 2015, and it was scheduled to hold at Methodist Church Nigeria Owerri diocese cathedral.
Plans for the wedding were already in full gear as wedding invites had been sent to our family and church members; all the church workers had sown uniforms for the “wedding of the century”; and our passports was at the embassy for visa for our honeymoon.
However, my bride-to-be called me with her mother’s phone and said she doesn’t love me anymore.
I did all I could to see if the wedding could hold because of the shame I felt will come with the cancellation but nothing worked.
I underwent emotional brouhaha, psychological trauma and almost ran mad, but mercy said no.
I and my wife had never met before, we only chatted on WhatsApp and shared our individual stories which I cannot share here.
We were two wounded people trying to heal each other. And that is what marital love is.
Family members said No; Friends said No, but God said “Yes” and against all odds, we married and it has been a smooth ride to destiny.
Our Home is a blessing to both families and to the world at large. We currently have 5 kids within 4 years of marriage.
Indeed, a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage. It is better to marry late than marry the wrong partner.
God’s “No” is not a rejection but a redirection.
Costly mistakes of Destiny is delivered through painful and bitter experiences.
Like the way injection and bitter drugs fights sickness in the body thats how some destiny destruction deliverance is.
Happy birthday to my prayer partner and wife. We still have forever to Go.
