Fans of singer Justin Bieber scream as he performs on NBC's Today Show in New YorkMost of us have stars we idolize.
Most guys are huge sports players fans..
*Lebron James, Tim Tebow..etc.
Most females are huge singers fans.
Hint*Justin Bieber, Usher..etc.

I am not saying you’re wrong for being a fan to anyone..

However, I think some people are extreme about these stars.
They are original people just like us who are extremely popular and good at their craft.
These people don’t know you.

We adore our stars so much that we watch them everyday..
Psychologically, our brain wants us to think that we know these people personally.

Reality Check: We don’t know these people personally and they don’t know us personally.
People get so obsessed with these people that they get so detached from reality.

The real stars in your life should be people who sacrificed to help make you who are today..
For me personally..
My parents are my real stars,

I went to school here in the states as an international student paying out-of-state school fees..
My mom worked as a nurse overtime for years without taking any vacation days to make sure I wasn’t kicked out of school.
She is in debt because she busted her butt to make sure my siblings and me got our education.
My dad would send money from Nigeria..
if you live in Nigeria and you will understand that the exchange rate from naira to dollars is not a joke..
My dad busted his butt to send me thousands of dollars from Nigeria most semesters for my school fees..
My parents are my real stars.

Every time, I see my parents.. I need to cry, screaming their name for their autograph
cos the sacrifices they made has changed my life forever.
I am a college graduate today cos my stars worked hard.
Currently, I am working in a fast food restaurant but I have hope for a better future.

However, the Ultimate Star in my life is God..
who blessed me with such hardworking, and sacrificial Stars in my life.

To God be the Glory!!

Hollywood and sports stars we adore.. don’t even know our names..
The real stars in our life are the ones who made sacrifices to make sure we are successful!
Don’t forget to Praise the Real Stars in your Life.

Dear Black Men,

First of all, I want to say am really a fan.
Love you all truly.
Let’s get real…

Please do us all a favor and know your identity.
You have a lot of potential,
God has blessed each and every one of you with great futures.

You’re so powerful,
I have never seen a group of people so blessed with intelligence, and creativity.
It’s so sad cos some of you don’t really know how powerful you really are.

Stop making excuses,
Nobody is your problem but you.
Don’t blame your dad, society or anything else for your present position in life.
You have a lot of potential for good works.
The problem is that some of you are trying to be each other while God has created each one of you to be unique.

I hate that some of you are not maximizing your full potential.
Your life is better in the real world than prison.
Employ wiser ways to utilize your anger.
Ending up is prison shouldn’t be your aim.
Showing your manhood shouldn’t end you in prison.

change the negative Stigma

Am tired of hearing that most of you are in Prison.
You can break this negative stigma.
Gangs will only lead you to a dead end.

You’re powerful, smart and capable of being a doctors, lawyers, engineers, and anything else you want to be.
Stop letting society define you.
Society want to infuriate you, so that you can do something stupid that will end you in prison.

Come on guys, all of you can’t be rappers or play sports.
Be more proactive not reactive

Remember, you have no excuses.
Bad decisions is not helping matters, obviously.
God created you to be Great.
You are great people that’s why you have so much attack.

Define yourself and stand by it.
Black women need you all to get it together.
If your father wasn’t in your life doesn’t mean you have to continue this trend.

Sleeping with all sorts of women doesn’t make you a man.
Sagging your pants doesn’t make you a man.
Dropping out of high school doesn’t make you a man.

Think! Pause! Prove Society Wrong!

Shooting somebody up doesn’t make you a man.
Smoking weed doesn’t make you a man.

Realize your potential.
Stop letting society define you.
You have the power to change this world around for good.
God has equipped you with good.

Let the negative aspects in your life inspire you to strive to be in a position where you can make a positive change to help someone else.
You have to break this negative stigma.

Get connected to God and let him show what it means to be a man.

Am not saying y’all are bad.
I am tired of hearing that most black men are in prison.
We can change this.
Something gotta give guys..

BTW…
I see you guys as strong, powerful, creative, handsome, productive and the list goes on.

This world needs more intelligent, God-fearing and purpose driven black men..

Sincerely,
A Huge fan!
