Above the Realm (An excerpt from my forthcoming book)

The  sun,  the  moon ,and  the  twelve  courageous  stars look  down  from  the heavens  and  wonder what  it  is like to  be  man. They  wonder  what  it  is like to be  an upright  being  that  stands  on two  legs  and moves  around  with  an ability to make  his  own  choices.

Their  thoughts  lead  to celestial  conversations, their celestial conversations make them approach their  creator, their  creator  grants  them  their  wishes.

The   sun, the  moon and  twelve stars  come down to earth  in the  likeness  of  men  for  an experience  of a  life time.

KEEPERS OF THE KEYS! (A excerpt from my forth coming book)

 They  are  far  from  human  though  they  are  born  human. They  have  a  more  than  ordinary  understanding  of  spiritual  matters  and  laws. They  have  been  given  the  power  to  suspend  natural  laws  and  operate  higher  spiritual  laws. They  are  the  new  super  heroes,  they are  the  mystiques,  the  shapeshifters.
 You  dear  not  mock  a  mystique.
  The  mystiques  are  called  keepers  of  the  keys,  their  position  is  for  only  a  select  few, the  keys  are  sacred  knowledge  hidden  from  man  from  the  foundation  of  the  world.
  Their  strength  is  in  their  mental  energy, the  mystiques  are  to  be  feared. They  know  their  is  a  miracle  in  mental  energies, they  are  the  creators. They  were  born  human  but  translated  into  mystiques  with  the  progression  of  time. They  have  dined  at  the  table  of spirits, they  have  become  immortal  in  the  process. They  have  become  "spirited"  beings, higher  in  rank  than  angels. People  seek  to  know  them, even  even  as  people  are  known.

R.I.P SAM LOCO EFE

The  very  expressive SLE  is  passed  on, how  sad. In  my  opinion  Sam  Loco  Efe  was  one  of  Nollywood's finest. A  gifted  comedian,  a  good  actor  and  one  of  the  most  natural  acts  that  graced  the  Nigerian  tv  screens, I'm sure he will be missed by many. He  has  left a  legacy  of  humour  behind  and  the  many  Nigerian  movies  he  acted  in  will serve  as  a  worthy  way  of  keeping  his  memory alive. It's  hard  to  tell  which  of  his  movies  is  the  best  or  the  one  where  his  acting  was  best, but  one  thing  is  clear  he  is  one  of  my  favourite  actors  from Nigeria. My  heart  goes  out  to  all  his  fans  and  family  members. R.I.P,  Sam Loco Efe, a  natural  from  Nigeria.

Dicaprio Vs Depp

 Leonardo Dicaprio has piped Johnny Depp (one of my favourite actors) as the the most bankable Hollywood actor at the moment. An online article states: 

 "Leonardo DiCaprio was Hollywood's highest paid actor over the last year as he made an estimated $77 million (£47 million.)" Jeez!

Though surveys and polls change easily in Hollywood, Dicaprio and Depp are two actors I feel know their 'onions' and deserve the credit for their work.

Dicaprio has worked hard over the years (so has Johnny Depp, who I think is one of the most versatile actors out there) and I think he deserves the honour that is coming to him. With great movies to his credit like, The Aviator, Catch Me if you Can, Titanic, The Breach, Romeo and Juliet, just to name a few.

A friend believes: "Leo deserves this one I would say if you ask me, He is a bankable actor, He has matured greatly over the yrs and has had a stellar run in the cut-throat world of Hollywood, just look @ his oeuvre, lets not forget his magazine cover good looks, lol.... He has also managed fame very well..... He just needs an oscar to validate his position among the all time greats"

Leonardo DiCaprio

---

Few actors in the world have had a career quite as diverse as Leonardo DiCaprio's. DiCaprio has gone from relatively humble beginnings, as a supporting cast member of the sitcom Growing Pains and low budget horror movies, such as Critters 3, to a major teenage heart-throb in the 1990's.

I am happy for his success, and I wish him many more.

All  Hail  King Leonardo Dicaprio!

THE NECESSITY OF WARFARE!

There  is  something  about  the  nature  of  man (animals  and  spirits  too)  that  is  territorial, defensive  and  protective  of  what  he  owns  or  what  he  perceives  or  believes  to  be  his  own.   

This  innate  inclination  brings  about  a  revolt, a  fight  and  some  form  of  self  defense.
It's a  known  fact  that  the  World  we  live  in  is  a  tough  place. It's  no secret  that  we  don't  live  in  a  perfect  world  and  life  is  not  always  fair. More  often  than  not,  we  'fight'  to  keep  what  is  ours  and  in  some  situations  we  have  to  fight  to  get  what  we  want.

 History  proves  to  us  that  warfare  is  not  new  to  humanity. A  wise  man  once  said  "life  is  not  fun fare  but  warfare" he  is  right. Kingdoms  were  built  and  maintained  through  warfare,  the  rise  of  the  Roman  Empire  and  the  the  Persian  empire  attests  to  this. History  records  the  exploits  of  war veterans  like  Hannibal,  King  Cyrus, King  David, Gideon  and  Alexander  the  great,  who  took  territories, gained  prominence  and  established  Kingdoms  through  warfare. And  for  the  more  spiritually  inclined  individuals  like  myself,  we  know  that  the  principles  and  happenings  of  the  physical  realm  is  more  often  than  not  a  reflection  of  the  spiritual  realm.   The  good  book  attests  to  this  truth. 

"The  heavens  declare  the  glory  of  God; and  the  firmament  sheweth  his  handywork"

So  there  are  things  nature  is  telling  us,  there  are  counsels  nature  is  giving  us, do  we  understand  them, can  we  hear  them? Warfare  is  one  of  the  things  history, experience, life  and  nature  teaches  us. There  is  no created  animal or  being  that  has  not  been   given  an  inner  mechanism  or  awareness  for   it's  protection  and  some  physical  feature  to  defend  itself  from  harm  or  predators. We all  have  and  carry  a  survival  instinct.

In a  world  full  of  mediocrity  we  have  to  'fight'  for  excellence, we  'fight'  to  carve  a  niche,  we  strive  to  discover  our  purpose  and  we  'fight'  to  defend  our  loved  ones  and  keep  what  is  rightfully  ours. In  the  animal  Kingdom, animals  fight  for  mates,  they  fight  for  food,  they  fight  to  stay  alive  and  they  fight  to defend  their  young  ones  and  territories.

Angels  fight  to  protect  the  saints, demons  fight  to  mess up  God's  plan,  and  our  flesh  wages  war against  our  spirit. Spiritual  people  fight  to  keep  the  good  fight  of  faith.
These  observations  have  made  me  draw  the  conclusion  that  there  is  a  necessity  for  warfare  in  life. Are  you  aware  of  this,  are  you  fighting  skillfully  and  do  you  know  the  weapons  at  your  disposal?

IS AFRICA REALLY UNDER A CURSE?

I  believe  Africa  is  far  from  cursed. I  once  heard  a  joke  that  when  satan  was  cast  out  of  heaven  the  spot  he  landed  on  is where  Africa  is  located  today  and  that's  why  Africa  has  been  plagued  with  a  lot  of  the  challenges  she  has   had  over  the  years. I  don't  know  whether  Africa  is  the  part  of  the  world  satan  landed  on  or  not  when  he  was  cast  out  of  heaven,  but  what  I  do  know  is  that  Africa  has  a  future  and  it's  potential  is  enormous. Afterall, Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30.2 million km² (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of the Earth's total surface area and 20.4% of the total land area. With 1.0 billion people (as of 2009, see table) in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14.72% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent has 54 sovereign states, including Madagascar and various island groups.
It's mineral resources, man power, history and  population  are  huge  advantages  it  has  to  develop  herself  and make  make  herself  competitive  as  a  continent.
Africa  has  great  tourism  potential, beautiful  wildlife  and  a  very  huge  land  space.
Africa  is  not  cursed, though  some  of  her  challenges  might  be  spiritual. What  Africans  need  is  to  prosecute  a  revolution  of  values, we  need  to  grow  in  our  love  walk  and  we  need  a  mental  revolution!
