My favorite Songs by Michael Jackson
Unlike other artists today, some of Michael Jackson’songs made sense like:
1. Man in the Mirror
The song is catchy but it makes plenty of sense. If you want to make the world a better place start by changing yourself. We can’t change the world until we change ourselves.
2. White or Black
In this song, Michael Jackson addressed the importance of judging people based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin. In this video, MJ included other cultures such as African, Chinese, Indian and others. MJ is one of a few artists who has included international cultures into his music video. We get lost in creativity of his songs that we undermine the real message behind it. Stop being Racist.
3. Heal the World
Can you imagine the world we would have if our focus was on making this world, a better place for future generations? It takes all of us working together as team to make sure our kids have a pollution free planet with less concern about global warming. We have a lot to do.
4. We are the world
Songs like these make me admire MJ because unlike other artists he cared about people, our world, helping others as shown in his music. These songs still touch people today cos we are not all evil there’s some good in us (I like to believe). Yes, people do some crazy things; however, there’s a part in us capable of good.
4. They don’t really care about us
Black people have been brutalized by white people in the name of ignorance. Yes, some whites in US and South Africa are still buying into that white supremacy inferiority complex mentality. I have nothing against white people, I just hate people exploiting others because they can.
To today’s artists: stop singing about drugs, sex, relationship and other nonsense you sing about. Learn from MJ and sing about stuff that will make an impact in people’s lives.
I Cried..
Today at work, this lady came in to order something but she didn’t have enough money.
I felt convicted, I went and got my wallet..
I told her to pick whatever she wanted but she wouldn’t,
she told me not to worry about it.
I said it, several times..I said, pick anything, I will pay for it.
She declined and left.
I almost cried in the middle of work because I don’t know if she will get to eat today.
We take a lot for granted.
If you ate today be thankful cos someone is somewhere starving.
Don’t forget to help others.
Yes, I cried when I got off work.

Yea, I made the name up..
Nigerians are obsessed with titles.
Why?
Nigerians know people with titles have money, power and influence.
These titles mean nothing to God.
Mark 8:36-“what will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong in having or acquiring big titles.
Personally, I am not intrigued by people who use their titles, positions or influences to exploit the poor.
Until you use your titles to help others, I will never be intrigued.
God bless everyone who use their title and influence to make a difference in people’s lives.
What is the truth?
The truth is if we can’t stay faithful to God as singles, it will be a struggle to stay faithful to our spouse in marriage. Marriage is not a cure for lust.
When Music made Sense..
This is an old Nigerian song that says “Wait for me”
I wrote out the lyrics without the pidgin English
Song:
My young girl love is in your body.
This thing they call love is a serious affair.
Think well before you agree..
Please, if you will love her, you will plan it well.
Oh yes,
If you love me,
you will wait for me.
When you have girlfriend,
take your time that you don’t spoil her,
if you make children are you ready to care?
If you love life, you will plan it well.
Yes. If you love me,
you will wait for me.
Having babies is not a joke,
you will feed them,
give them cloth and give them love too.
If you are not ready to carry the load,
why would you put the load on someone else head?
Many children is an insurance for old age,
they never say we should marry,
they never say we should have kids.
There are lots of children but with no food to eat,
my friend..
This kind of life is so wahala (issue)..
That’s true,
if you love me,
you will wait for me.
Happy parents make happy children.
Happy children make happy country,
make sure you plan well and enjoy your life.
If you love me,
you will plan with me.
If you love me,
you will wait for me.
Wait for me,
baby plan with me (repeat).
Don’t forget to plan that’s what make life sweet. (Best Song EVER!)
Forget all the garbage from MTV and BET..
Young people need song to listen to songs like this,
where they are encourage to plan their lives.
Sex is not everything.
If you are not ready for the consequences that comes along premarital sex..maybe you need to reconsider.
We live in this hyper-sexual world where everybody is encouraged to have sex but nobody talks about planning.
Not Good Enough..
He said..
You’re not pretty enough,
You’re not smart enough,
You’re not tall enough,
You’re not pink enough,
You’re not this or that enough..
Your reply should be “then you are not good enough for me”
Guys,
She said..
You’re not handsome enough,
You’re not smart enough,
You’re not tall enough,
You’re not muscular enough,
You’re not blue enough,
You’re not this or that enough,
Your reply should be “then you are not good enough for me”
We complicated things..
if someone says.. “you are not this or that enough”..
It means, they are not for you.
True love is unconditional.
The best expression of love was on the cross.
We were no way close good enough for Christ to sacrifice his son yet, he did.
If I have to change myself to earn your love.
It is not that complicated,
it means you are not for me.
People choose to settle with people who tell them they are not good enough cos they think they are not good enough for anybody else.
Until you believe that you are good enough for yourself, you will continue ending up in this kind of relationship.
Loving yourself is so important.
Never enter a relationship when you have low self-esteem.
Love is God.
If he or she doesn’t know God, they don’t know love.
If you don’t know God and how to love yourself, you don’t know love.
Lust is earned with a pretty face, big behind, large bank account or any other superficial thing that fades.
Love is a gift.
Love is priceless.
First, know God loves you..
Second, love yourself.
The man or woman for you will never say “you’re not good enough,” he or she will say “you’re perfect just the way you are..flaws and all”
He Got Me..
If you glance over my blog posts, you will notice I don’t share personal information or experiences.
I like to think, I am a private person but every now and then (like now..) I open up a bit.
Nothing cheesy.. Here we go.
I took a trip to another state with another person to relax.
We went to this Nigerian restaurant to eat.
While we were there waiting on our food.
This young man came in to order his food.
When I first saw him, he looked like he just got off from a hard day at work.
In other words, the way he was dressed was unattractive.
Before I knew it, he was glancing a lot over my direction..
In my head, I was like “Oga, leave that thing, you no be my type abeg.”
He started talking to the owner of the shop and I heard the intelligence that was coming out of his month.. Yea, my head turned.
Hands down, intelligence is so attractive.
His looks didn’t catch my attention but his brains did.
Morale of the story: Go to School, intelligence is attractive!!
Excuse my honesty,
I am personally not attracted to thugs.
I don’t understand why a woman would shun an educated, God-fearing man and pick a thug, who walks around sagging his pants..
I digress.
An educated, God-fearing man will always get my attention any time, any day!
Somebody Stop HAZING… PLEASE!!!
I watched this video and it literally brought tears to my eyes.
I love my Nigerian-descent NFL Players, I try to keep up with a few of them.
The guy hazed in the video has been playing for the NY Giants for 2 years at the time he was hazed.
I mean, he is not a new player anymore..
so why are these players throwing him into a tub of water?
In my opinion, hazing is bullying..
I think we all need to take a stand and fight against all forms of bullying in general.
Click here to read about my personal bullying experience.
Watch the video for yourself and see for yourself.
This guy is carried by two players and some guy is screaming “stand up for yourself”..
Obviously, this is bullying where the strong or outspoken prey on the soft spoken.
Watching this video, I thought he was playing along.
He comes out of this tub of water with this look on his face..
That look got me and I teared up.
How many athletes, students, and people in general have to be victims until we do something about this??
