Fall In Love With An Indian Beauty

I fell in love with India at the first sight of an Indian beauty in an Indian film at the Kings Cinema on Lagos Island in Nigeria. My handsome father Sunday Eke always took the whole family to the cinema to watch the latest Indian film or Western and I grew up seeing the famous film stars as my role models. And my pet names were Ricky Nelson from the Western Cowboy films and Amitabh Bachchan of the Bollywood fame. I was walking tall with the swagger of these film stars and the girls loved it. And I am still walking tall today and the girls and ladies are still loving the mystique that makes me so unique.

I have a beautiful Nigerian friend whose grandfather came from Mumbai, and she wants us to go to India and find out any of her ancestral relations.
She is only a friend. So, she cannot stop me from courting any Indian beauty I find in the course of our quest.



Indian maidens are awesome! Mysterious beauties with charming eyes full of secrets of their hearts and souls. And I want to fall in love with an Indian beauty.

Naked Beauty

A young Nigerian artist goes to an Island and discovers a village maiden who proves that there is more to her beauty than her nudity.

Naked Beauty explores the intellectual abilities in relationship with the sexual instincts of a young man and a younger woman. But Naked Beauty is more than meets the eye of the beholder.

About Naked Beauty

Naked Beauty is a metaphor of the unappreciated natural beauty of the humanity of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria that produces the oil that is the mainstay of the Nigerian economy.

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is known as the most dangerous region in Nigeria as many foreign oil workers have been kidnapped and some have been killed by the native militant youths terrorizing the multinational oil companies operating in the Niger Delta. And over 1,000 villagers have been killed in catastrophic explosions caused oil spillages and leakages of oil pipelines and thousands more have been killed in bloody conflicts over the ownership of oil produced from the Niger Delta. The greed for oil has made the majority of the people to be ignorant of the abundant human resources in the Niger Delta, so that they have abandoned farming and fishing to vandalize oil pipelines or to work in marginal oil fields. And the over dependence on mineral resources have deprived them of the full realization of the enormous benefits of their human resources. Naked Beauty is meant to enlighten them and prod them to appreciate and celebrate the beauty of their human resources.

The story shows a young Nigerian Tonye from the Niger Delta region in his quest for the aesthetics of life and soon discovers the natural beauty of the Niger Delta personified by a village maiden Oma on Bonny Island and he decides to show what he has discovered to the whole world. Oma symbolizes the beauty of the Niger Delta that the rest of the world does not know much about. And he brings out the hidden treasures of the Niger Delta in contrast to the greed for oil as he diverts the attention of others from the leaking oil pipeline and chooses to celebrate the virgin beauty of Oma and her people who live on fishing.

The greed for oil leads to the quarrel over who has more rights to steal from the leaking oil pipeline and as expected the volatile quarrel causes the catastrophic oil pipeline explosion that killed many of the greedy villagers and destroyed the village. But Oma and her family survive to symbolize that the hope of the Niger Delta is on the appreciation and celebration of the natural beauty of her people and their arts and culture.

For the full story already written in a published screenplay co-authored by the prize winning Nigerian writer Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima and prize winning Nollywood Filmmaker Chika Christian Onu of the Glamour Girls fame, see Naked Beauty.

Emma Jean Reborn

Emma Jean Reborn

by Dr. Cupid Poe and Kathi Macias
Publisher: Authorhouse
Category: Self-Help
Reviewed by D.S. White of Read Zone Book Reviews.

"She paused again, then plunged ahead. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that, no matter what's happened in our lives, there's nothing so bad that God can't carry us through to the other side. The Bible says that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Sooner or later, God's good plan for our lives will become clear to us, Emma Jean, if we'll just let it.

Emma Jean was fighting tears now, wishing on the one hand that she'd declined Millie's invitation an d gone on back to her apartment where she'd be safe from such emotional revelations, while wishing on the other that she had the courage to open her mouth and tell this dear woman everything that was on her heart. In the end she said nothing, except a silent thank you to God, as the unspoken question echoed in her heart: How many people would He send to her to give her the same message before she finally got it?" - Pg 74.

I approach the writing of this review with unwanted credentials: that of a survivor of abuse. However, it is those very credentials that give me the authority to wholeheartedly recommend this book for those who’d like to:

- understand the face of abuse, or
- move forward from the road called Abuse.

It goes without saying; it was not an easy read for me, not because of poor workmanship, irrelevant content or shoddy grammar. No, it was excellent in all those aspects. Being a bit of an ostrich I delayed and stalled reading the book because I was simply unwilling to “go there” again.

I can now say that it’s the best book I never-wanted-to-read because at the end of the day I applauded Emma Jean’s courage and unfailing spirit, even as I cried when she cried and triumphed when she did and was encouraged to give moving forward a chance, as she also did. She overcame so much to reach a state of peace: that of her family’s financial situation, their bigoted beliefs, their dysfunction, their rejection of who she was as a person, her life threatening situations…

Even though the book encompasses subject matter that is uncomfortable reading for most, the authors pull it off with a mix of sensitivity, spirituality and practicality that:

- Empathizes
- Motivates
- Moves
- Advocates
- Justifies
- Encourages
- Authenticates
- Nullifies

- Resuscitates
- Educates
- Believes
- Opposes
- Rejuvenates
- Nurtures

But most of all it is a clear-cut roadmap directing abuse survivors towards the healing road called Forgiveness. I have heard it said that “forgiveness is a gift you give yourself,” and I wholeheartedly agree.

Rating:

5 out of 5 stars

Recommendation:

I recommend this title for:

- those wrapped so tightly in their anger they’re blinded by it to all the
goodness around them.
- those so mired in memory of the hurt, they can’t live in the here and now,
- those so walled into a pattern of behavior that they’re afraid to come out of their comfort zone because although painful, it’s all they know,
- those who blame God for allowing their situation; and
- those who desire the encouragement needed to transition from victim to victor.

Believe His Word And You Shall Overcome

As long as you believe in the Word of God, you will succeed.
For there is ultimate power in His word to overcome all the evils and enemies in the world.


Psalm 40
1. I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5. Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

9. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

10. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12. For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

13. Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.

14. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15. Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

16. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

17. But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.


Psalm 40 (Holy Bible, King James Version)

6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst nowe nog wel doen maar dit is niet waar we ons sterk op zullen gaan richten. Dit zullen we meer als klein onderdeel zien.

Wizard of the Crow Is A Must Read

I have fallen in love with the first class prose of Ngugi wa'Thiongo since I read his now classic novel The River Between in high school and his highly political novel Petals of Blood motivated me to do a unique painting of the same title in red Japanese ink.

Ngugi wa'Thiongo's latest novel
Wizard of the Crow is already being celebrated as a classic historical fiction on the agonies and ironies of post-colonial Africa and
Wizard of the Crow is the longest book in an African language after the Holy Bible. It is a must read.

A Psalm For The Lesson of 9/11

Psalm 49
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 Hear this, all you peoples;
listen, all who live in this world,
2 both low and high,
rich and poor alike:
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom;
the utterance from my heart will give understanding.
4 I will turn my ear to a proverb;
with the harp I will expound my riddle:
5 Why should I fear when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me-
6 those who trust in their wealth
and boast of their great riches?
7 No man can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for him-
8 the ransom for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough-
9 that he should live on forever
and not see decay.
10 For all can see that wise men die;
the foolish and the senseless alike perish
and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their tombs will remain their houses [a] forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,
though they had [b] named lands after themselves.
12 But man, despite his riches, does not endure;
he is [c] like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.
Selah
14 Like sheep they are destined for the grave, [d]
and death will feed on them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning;
their forms will decay in the grave, [e]
far from their princely mansions.
15 But God will redeem my life [f] from the grave;
he will surely take me to himself.
Selah
16 Do not be overawed when a man grows rich,
when the splendor of his house increases;
17 for he will take nothing with him when he dies,
his splendor will not descend with him.
18 Though while he lived he counted himself blessed—
and men praise you when you prosper-
19 he will join the generation of his fathers,
who will never see the light of life .
20 A man who has riches without understanding
is like the beasts that perish.


Psalm 49 (Holy Bible, New International Version)

BiBi Cambridge: High Grade Heroine

I have just discovered another of the very few highly gifted beauties with brains in the expanding blogosphere, BiBi Cambridge whose passions are similar to mine. Romantic writers and lovers of life, heart, spirit and soul.

Bibi Cambridge writes songs for a living. Pop songs. She also sings them sometimes, and there’s an unsubstantiated rumour that she has the voice of an angel. An angel on crack with a flick-knife, but an angel nonetheless.

Bibi Cambridge spends a couple of days a week working in an office, which is, she says, ok because ‘there’s a gun in my bag’.

Bibi Cambridge is gorgeous.

Bibi is single. And proud of it. Though there is ‘Mr Healing Hands’ who seems to occasionally pop up from time to time. But he managed to put her in hospital with a massage, so clearly he can’t be trusted.

Bibi Cambridge’s blog is a well-stirred stew of ideas, observations, impressions on contemporary life in London, annoying friends, romantic catastrophes, gay friends and their ‘unique’ take on the female form, the impossibility of finding a future that can compete with the past. Oh, and the first time she farted in front of her favourite lover. There’s even a very cute pet dog in there somewhere, too.

Bibi Cambridge – a pretty girl with searing insight.

Power Belongs To God

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
~~ Psalm 62:11 (King James Version)

I cannot resist the passion to share the following message sent to me by one of the most determined bold and beautiful young women I have ever known since I was born, Joy Tongo. God just brought her into my life like an angel from the blues and I am glad and grateful to God for having such a blessed God fearing young lady to be my partner in progress.

Financial Prosperity by Pastor Creflo Dollar.

Financial prosperity starts with the word.
You can have nothing if you not willing to have it.

Claim this: Let the Lord be Magnified, who has pleasure in my prosperity.

Activity that produce motions with no progress is bad.
Proverb chapter 23:4: Don't labor at been rich.
Laboring to be rich, is laboring at the wrong direction.
Spend your time in the word, let your labor be in the
word...confessing, acting, meditating, praying in the word.

How the Word of God and Wealth relate...
Hebrews chapter 1:3,11:3.
The word of God is the frame word on which all other things hang. The depth of God's word determine your prosperity.

Lot of us love to prosper, but don't love the word.
Isaiah 65:23: My labor in God's word will not be in vain. It would only empower you but your children.

How does God bless us to financially prosper?
The word of God is the high way to the world of wealth.
Don't expect to have financial increase if you are not operating in God's
word. If you get in God's word with PHD, you will prosper.

Release creative ability out of your mouth.
There is no way you sit on God's word and He will not release all the secrets, formula and business idea.
The word of God is the door that lead to a word from God. It might be in the rest room, driving, anywhere God speaks to you on something that will lead to financially prosperity.
"A word from Him, will cause an elevation."
Wisdom will come, concepts will come, idea, invention and all, because you will be meditating in God's word.

"Breakthrough would not come until you get a word from God."
See Job 22:21
Let be Almighty be your God, even when the stuffs comes in your hand, don't forget the one that gave it to you.
Psalm 112:1
Some of us need to have a flash-back before we hook up on God, how He took us out of that mess, how we lost our job and He gave us another one.
Learn how to praise God, so you can hear from him in your situation. Because if God did it once, He will do it again.

Claim this: Wealth and Riches shall be in my house.
See Isaiah 60:1
Nothing shines without light. That light "psalm 119:130" is the entrance of that word.
Luke 4:18
Matt 11:4
Prosperity is preached, you don't pray it, you don't fat, you preach.
Proverb 24:13...The prosperity of your soul must be first base, because it determines you overall.
You don't succeed, not because your lack luck but LIGHT.
Matthew 13:54
Proverb 8:10-11 is very important.

10. Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

11. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
~~ Proverbs 8:10-11 (King James Version)

Luke 8:11
Faith without corresponding action is dead.
Money is the corresponding action to any seed your sow. Because money represent time. You have to put the word on your action. The word of God is the seed, and not money.

Give and it shall be given unto you. For with what measure you meet with
all, shall be measured back to you.

The Coming of the Last Prophet

He has fled from the chaos of the accursed of the world
He has come to take refuge in the valley of the lilies
He has found peace among the sheep.

He alone understands their strange tongues. And he has seen more wisdom among his flock than among the children of the world. They surround him as he sits on a rock by the hot spring in the valley where they always come to graze. And they are really glad to have a shepherd they have been praying for all these years since they also fled from the bloodshed in the world.

Talking To My Conscience
Humans are the most pathetic creatures on earth posing and posturing to be civilized but the horrors of their king of terrors betray their claim to superior intelligence over the sheep and goats they call dumb.
Sheep don’t cheat or exploit and they neither steal nor kill other sheep.
Goats don’t enslave other goats.
Dogs don’t have suicide bombers.

I have seen better parenting among animals than I have seen among humans.
The prevailing human conflicts plaguing humankind today can be traced to bad parenting. Because most parents failed to guide and guard their children in accordance with the rules of engagement for peaceful co-habitation on earth.

Racism, tribalism, sectarianism, nepotism, extremism, terrorism and other horrible and terrible acts of Man’s inhumanity to man are caused by erroneous and ambiguous notions of the struggle for survival and well-being.

Majority of humans are ignorant of the truth and the rest are too arrogant to accept the truth.

I cannot imagine myself cheating or exploiting my fellow humans and I cannot imagine myself stealing or killing my fellow humans.

Greediness, stubbornness and wickedness are destroying humankind. And the perpetrators of these evils are unrepentant.

Again, most humans are hypocrites, parasites and prostitutes.

Sincerely, I feel terribly insulted to compare myself to those who commit such atrocities of Man’s inhumanity to man.

Millions of humans cheat, exploit, lie, rob, steal, usurp and kill their fellow humans with fake looks and fake books and by hook or by crook.

The thing I am guilty of is I love women. But I don’t covet another man’s wife. And my greatest passion is charity.

It would be better and safer to live among sheep and goats than to live among humans.
