| How to Find Balance in Your Life Posted: 16 Jul 2017 04:16 AM PDT  Success was sweet to me. At the relatively young age of 40, I had worked long and hard, and I was enjoying the fruits of my honest labors. As a hard-driving Christian entrepreneur, I had managed to parlay my God-given business acumen, natural tenacity, and technological savvy into a bevy of business interests that generated hefty profits and a positive cash flow. I owned 7 apartment complexes (399 units), a car lot and a consulting company. All of them had been profitable business enterprises over the years. To all outward appearances, I was living the American Dream, and I relished that superficial image of glamorous prosperity. But underneath my external veneer of entrepreneurial confidence and success, I was really a nervous wreck, plagued by spontaneous, unpredictable panic attacks. I was always working frantically just to keep everything going from week to week and month to month. My mind constantly ran numbers and deals. How much did I owe? How much did I have? When was the next deal coming or closing? I lived in constant fear that my financial house of cards was going to come crashing down any day. I woke up worrying about money, worried about it all day and went to bed worried about it. Periodically I took my family on vacations to places, like London, Paris, Cancun, the Virgin Islands and Disney 25 times in 5 years. I thought it would be a distraction, but I was so stressed I couldn't relax long enough to enjoy them with my wife and daughter. I was always busy on my cell phone or computer, talking, texting or emailing somebody about some business deal or emerging crisis back home. The moments of happiness I got from trips and materials things didn't fill the void that was growing bigger and bigger. I constantly felt the burden of managing my multiple businesses and dealing with the constant conflict I had produced. I was stressed, I was anxious, and I was becoming lethargic. I had become obsessed with making money, but my lack of consistent discipline as a business owner and manager was causing me problems and costing me money. And it was really wearing me down. Because of the stress that permeated my personality, I was living in constant conflict with everyone with whom I had to deal. I had a short temper and was easily angered. I also had developed a well-deserved reputation as a tough negotiator who drove a hard bargain. Because I could argue longer and talk louder, I usually won. But I didn't make many friends in the process. The hardest hit relationship was my marriage to a woman I dearly loved and adored. Our relationship wasn't where it needed to be because of all the stress I was bringing into our home. I wanted more from our marriage and she wanted more but the ways we were trying to achieve our goals weren't working. Neither of us was ever unfaithful, and we had never discussed divorce, but subconsciously I knew my precious bride wasn't getting what she needed. I could feel Jordan starting to pull away from me, a little at a time. She didn't like what she was seeing in me. She wasn't happy and I wasn't giving her much of a reason to be happy. The more I tried to find balance in my life the less I had. I felt alone, rejected, and miserable. I knew something had to change radically and soon. I just didn't know what to do about it, or how to do it. I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior when I was six, was baptized as a teenager and I considered myself a reasonably good Christian person. But the older I got the further I got away from the Lord personally. I actually thought for a while that I was truly trusting God—that I was leaning on Him. But as time passed and things continued to spiral downhill in my stress-filled life, I slowly came to realize that I was really just paying lip service to God. The more I tried to get closer to Jesus, the more I saw how far away I really was. The more I read in the Bible about "trusting in the Lord with all your heart," the more I realized that I was living my life trusting mainly in myself. I had pretty much turned to my own way, hypocritically using God as a sort of fallback safety net when things got too intense for me to handle alone. I knew that I desperately needed help in every area of my life. So as a last resort, I turned to God and repeatedly started praying, "Help me, Lord." I hadn't been putting any time into my relationship with God, but I kept wondering, "Where is God when I need Him most?" I never said a word about any of these problems to my wife, Jordan. I just couldn't bring myself to admit to my wife that I was not the man of God I needed to be. In reality, I was ashamed to admit the truth to her or to anyone else. It was all I could do to admit it to myself and that was a real struggle. I was a prideful, self-centered egotistical man who was determined to have God on one side of the fence and my life on the other. I knew beyond a doubt I needed God in my life. I needed to let God lead, guide, and direct me. But I was struggling. Then one day in the fall of 2014, I had an epiphany of sorts while I was reading Proverbs, honestly, I was just skimming it because I felt guilty for not having a daily devotional. Yet, God used this time to show me I was a hypocrite. Suddenly I saw, with perfect clarity, I was serving myself and my own carnal desires, worshipping material things and success. I knew I was going to stand in front of God and give an account for my actions. I would give an account for the testimony I had with others. I would answer for the husband and father I had been. Then it really hit me… My daughter would likely marry the type of man I had become. I was not the man of God that I wanted to be, and I certainly wasn't the man of God I had been created to be. It was time to change. Over the coming weeks, the Holy Spirit really started to work me over and instead of burying the thought of giving God control I started focusing on the thought. All the things I knew, all the scriptures I had heard, all the words of wisdom I had heard over the years really started to come alive. For the first time in my life, I was really moving to give God control of my life. I was moving from knowing God's word to actually trying to apply it to my life. "God, make me the man you want me to be!" "God, take control!" That was the cry of my heart that day. I confessed and repented of every sin I could think of – including the idolatry of worshipping money and the futility of trying to go my own way without letting the Holy Spirit control my life. But I knew that I wasn't done yet. I had made things right with God but I still had to make things right with my wife. How could I go to my wife and tell her I wasn't the man of God I proclaimed to be? What would she think? How embarrassing would it be? I walked into our bedroom crying. "I have a confession to make," I said to Jordan. "There is something I have to tell you . . . right now." "I have not been the godly husband that I should have been," I said to her between sobs. "I should have been following God and leading my family in His ways. Instead I've been following the ways of the world. But I want to do better and I have asked God to forgive me and to help me change. I'm asking you to do that, too." I realized that Jordan already knew I wasn't the man of God I said I was. Over the years, I had made promises to do better. These promises lasted for a season – a day, a week, a month or maybe even longer – then I would slip back into my old ways. But over the next few months, Jordan acknowledged and appreciated my sincere desire to give God control of my life. I really appreciated that vote of confidence from her. I needed the support and encouragement. By the same token, she needed to see me stepping up and being a godly husband and making godly decisions for the family, based not on temporary whims or earthly expediency but on the Word of God. Another thing that amazed me was the reaction I got from other people as I began to make these changes. Because I must confess, I couldn't keep quiet about what was going on in my life. It was all so radical, so transforming, so liberating to finally be following the will of God! I simply had to tell people what I was doing and why. I had no choice. And when I did...almost everyone was moved to start telling me about their own similar worries and problems. You see I thought I was alone. I thought I was the ONLY Christian man struggling to give God control. As I released all the pent-up stress in my life and turned it all over to God, the tension just started to melt away. I shared my problems and my fears with Jordan, and oftentimes she was the one who came up with the timely solutions we needed. Now we communicating more honestly with each other, share our thoughts and feelings more openly, and trust each other more completely. I'm not perfect by any means, but what I do have now is balance. My life is in control because I've allowed God to take the lead, and I strive daily to keep it this way. If you are struggling to find balance why not give God's way a try?

| Wife fakes her kidnap to force Husband to relocate her to US Posted: 16 Jul 2017 03:16 AM PDT  The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Abiodun Odude, who was speaking during the parade of 12 arrested suspects in the state at the Police Headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan, said the 37-year-old businesswoman, had conspired with a two-man gang, among whom was his cousin, Kayode Adepoju, to orchestrate her own kidnap in order to fraudulently obtain money from her husband. The police boss said the incident happened at about 7:45p.m. on Tuesday, July 4, when three armed hoodlums stormed the residence of the supposed victim and 'kidnapped' her to an unknown destination. "Barely four hours later, the suspects contacted the victim's husband, demanding for N10million as ransom as a condition for his wife's release. "Unknown to the husband that the kidnap was actually arranged by his wife, he reported the case to the police, and upon the receipt, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) began a manhunt for the hoodlums. "During intensive investigation, two suspects were arrested, and they let the cat out of the bag, as operatives were stunned to discover that the victim was the architect of the fake kidnap. "The woman, for the three days she was away, lodged in a hotel at Imalefalafia area, Ibadan, while efforts were on to rescue her, but after two of the suspects were eventually arrested in their criminal hideout at Imalefalafia area, they confessed to the crime and the mastermind was arrested," the police boss said. However, while speaking, the woman, Mrs Ogun, said she called her cousin, Kayode, informing him that she wanted her husband to relocate her to the United States, so wanted to stage her own kidnap so after her rescue, her husband would be left with no option than to send her abroad. "So I left home on Tuesday, July 4, and returned on Thursday, July 6, acting as if I was kidnapped. It was then that my husband started calling about that I had been kidnapped before finally informing the police. "Everything is still like a child's play; he is an American citizen and I just wanted him to relocate me to the US. I told the gang to demand for N10million from my husband; I knew he could not afford that kind of money, but just for the whole plan to look real. "And within the three days I was away, I lodged myself in a hotel, but I regret everything now," Mrs Ogun, who had been married to her husband for six years with two children, said. While speaking on his role in the whole case, Mrs Ogun's cousin, Kayode, said the woman just called her one day, informing him that she wanted to stage her own kidnap so that her husband would agree to relocate her to the United States since he is a citizen. "So she told me to find one of my friends who has a car and we would come to her house in the evening of the day we wanted to stage the kidnap. "When we even got to her house, she was the one who walked out herself and entered the car we brought, and we took her to the hotel where she lodged for three days. "After that, we called her husband, asking for N10million ransom, just to make the whole plan look real, but we didn't collect anything from him. "However, I was arrested the following day after she returned home; policemen came to my office to arrest me, and we had no option than to tell the police the truth," Kayode said. The Oyo police boss, however, said that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as possible so as to serve as a less to others who might be planning such stunts.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog | ||
| 5 Powerful Ways To Avoid A Marriage Crisis Posted: 16 Jul 2017 02:16 AM PDT  Other men in the group laughed and heartily agreed. Asking the women to rate their marriages drew a much different response... Most of the women rated their marriages between a 2-4, with neither men nor women being surprised at these responses. So, which response is more accurate? Were their marriages really an 8-10 or 2-4? It is a trick question, really, because both answers have validity. Let's unpack the responses a bit. While certainly these responses are a stereotype, not meant to speak for everyone, there is much truth in the notion that as long as their wife is happy and content, many men are generally content. There is also truth in the generalization that men tend to rate their marital satisfaction higher than women. Why is that? Again, speaking generally, men tend to ignore problems in their marriage while women, being more relationally oriented, feel the various highs and lows of the relationship. Women tend to read books on relationship, watch television shows pertaining to relationships and seek counseling to improve those relationships. Sadly, I rarely receive phone calls from men asking for help until their wife has issued some kind of threat, or worse, has moved out and has threatened divorce. At those times men, universally, frantically cry out for help. To be fair, men are not oblivious to what is happening in their marriage. They care about their marriage and genuinely want a close, intimate relationship. However, they become lazy and focus on many other things than their marriage, including work, money and sports. What are some questions you can ask yourselves to determine the state of your marriage? Are we able to talk about problems in a respectful and collaborative manner? Are we able to effectively solve problems, offering forgiveness to each other? Do we enjoy each other, able to share physical, emotional and spiritual intimacy? Do we both feel cared about and respected by our mate? Do we keep our marriage a priority? How can couples find help before their relationship reaches a crisis? How can couples maintain a steady eye on their marriage so they can avert a crisis? How can men and women work together to ensure they are watchful so that they are not the victims of an addiction, affair, separation or divorce? Here are some ideas to consider. One, maintain communication about your marriage. I have said this often, and it bears repeating - any problem my mate has is of my concern. If she/ he isn't happy, you shouldn't be happy. We all must maintain vigilance over our marriage, maintaining communication with each other. Both should maintain active conversation about the state of their marriage. Two, keep problems in front of you. Marital problems magnify when they are ignored or denied. Problems kept in front of us can be dealt with, talked about and effectively managed. Healthy couples aren't afraid to sit confidently with each other to talk about problems and collaboratively seek solutions. As they solve problems they grow in their ability to solve problems in the future. Third, continue to work on problem areas. Problems are rarely settled once and for all. We are human and as such, we are in process. We will make mistakes. Healthy couples recognize this and assume they will be always be working on problems. That said, healthy couples also make progress on problems. Progress, not perfection. Fourth, seek help with stuck points. Most couples will find themselves grappling with problems that overwhelm them at times. Subsequently, they refuse to be prideful and they reach out for help. Scripture encourages supporting each other in times of difficulty: "Greater love has no man than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Finally, make your marriage a priority. Marriages don't fail—individuals in marriages fail to make marriage a priority. While we are willing to give emphasis to our work, our homes and even our children, we need to also give an emphasis to our marriage. We must always remember that our marriage is fragile and can fail through neglect. Are you tending to your marriage? How is your marriage, really? [written by Dr. David B.

| Posted: 16 Jul 2017 12:43 AM PDT  The convicted paedophile was allegedly tipped off by an inmate that he is the target of a plan to cut his throat with a makeshift knife. According to the Sun , Johnson wants to move from Moorland Prison because of the alleged threats. A source told the newspaper: "He is in bits. The other lag was doing him a favour by tipping him off but it has left Johnson beside himself with worry.Johnson was jailed last year for sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.Earlier this year the ex-Sunderland star was secretly filmed behind bars bragging about the incident which led him to be jailed. In the footage - when a fellow inmate points out he did not rape her - the former England star is seen to laugh: "No, I wish I f***ing did for six year."  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog | ||
| Traditional council to look into high cost of bride price | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 16 Jul 2017 12:43 AM PDT  The Chairman of the Council, His Royal Majesty, Prof. James Ayatse said that committee will have to figure out the best way to bring down the items for bride price and the cost of burial ceremonies. The committee, which has three months to submit its report, is headed by His Royal Highness, Chief Jam Gbinde Ter Ikyor, and had been directed to investigate the reasons for the high bride price and recommend ways of addressing the challenge. The TATC chairman lamented that the high bride price was hindering bachelors and spinsters from getting married, noting that in some cases, young men resorted to acquiring resources through unacceptable means to meet up with the challenge. Ayatse also directed the committee to evolve ways of reducing cost incurred during burials, lamenting that burials had now been turned to ceremonies, adding that such practice was totally alien to Tiv culture. According to him, there is need to address the problem as borrowed trends of expensive marriages and burials have inflicted poverty on families. NAN  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog | ||
| Messages Every Church Should be Sending to Their Women Posted: 16 Jul 2017 12:16 AM PDT  Once this lady spoke with a pastor about sharing her God story with his church. The pastor looked over this lady's website, skimmed through her book, and told her, "I like your message. It's much needed in the Christian world today! That's why I'm praying for the ministry you and your husband have. I'd love to meet the two of you someday." Here's the thing: This lady's husband is not part of her ministry. Oh, he supports and encourages her, but God specifically called the woman to share God's story in her unique way. This true story reminded me that sometimes the church sends conflicting messages to women. It's often inadvertent, but the messages can be discouraging or even confusing. While not all women are called to start a ministry, every woman needs to hear true messages—especially from the church—about who they are. Here are 10 messages every church should be sending to their women: 1. You are loved—and liked—by God. As a woman that God created, you are prized and cherished. This message of grace is a true one. You are adored. You are loved beyond measure. You are cared about deeply, delighted in, and treasured. And on top of all that, God likes you too! He enjoys women and treasures them like a proud Father. That's how God feels about His women. (Romans 8:31-39) 2. You have unique abilities and a distinct purpose designed by God. God created you in His own image. You are a masterpiece, designed by the most skilled artisan the world has ever known. (Psalm 139:14) When He created you, God chose specific talents, skills, and abilities for you. He had a specific purpose in mind for you and knew exactly who you needed to be to fulfill that purpose. No mistakes. No chipped "seconds." You are a unique, on-purpose creation, designed to glorify God. (Ephesians 2:10) 3. Your voice matters. You have opinions and ideas that are valuable. You're worth listening to! And your input and creativity make a difference. No matter where you've come from, who you've been, or what you've done, your story is valuable. And sharing your story—using your voice to honor God—is a beautiful thing. 4. We need your strengths. The healthy church knows that God created male and female on purpose. God knew that the world—and churches and families and communities—would work best when both genders utilized their strengths. The church needs women to be women—not doormats or nosy gossip or authority hogs—but the authentic, emotional, compassionate, strong beings that you are. As God designed. 5. You are valuable. I have been to churches where the woman's role was to sit quietly and let the men do the talking, deciding, and guiding. But sometimes this can send a harmful message. You are not second class, less than, or inept because you're not a man. There is more for you than to sit in quiet submission. You are valuable to God and to His church. 6. You are an indispensable part of the body of Christ. Paul reminds us that every single believer has a unique place and function in the body of Christ. That means you too, women! Maybe you don't pastor or usher, but you are important to the body of believers. The strong church thanks its women and realizes that without you and your unique function in this body, we wouldn't thrive nearly as well or be half as strong. 7. We support you. Like the initial story of the pastor who seemed to prefer a woman to tag along with her husband's ministry, sometimes the church can send an unsupportive message to women. But women are uniquely called by God. Just think of Bible examples like Esther the queen, Deborah the judge, or Mary the mother of Jesus! God gives women unique dreams and purpose in this world. And just as in Bible times, those purposes may not always look like society expects them to look. Today's church needs to send the message loud and clear to its women: "When God calls you, we support you 100%." 8. You are a delight, not a danger or an annoyance. One church I know refused to allow the women to have any scheduled gatherings because they were afraid it would turn into a gossip fest. While women are wise to guard against gossip, that church was sending a harmful message. Probably because of past experience or problems with a few women, the church was fearful of all women behaving unhealthily. But women need to be treated as individuals, as a delight and not as petty annoyance or an afterthought. 9. You are cared about and loved as sisters in Christ. Women are essential to creating strong community. You often have a knack for bringing people together, meeting needs, and loving on people well. As such, you need to be cared for and loved on by the church. To be told often how much you are appreciated and cared about. To be treated as beloved sisters in Christ. 10. Any "not enough" is more than enough in Christ. One of the biggest epidemics in Christianity today is the epidemic of "not enough." With all of the pressures and expectations on women, many of you struggle with feelings of inadequacy or overwork. The church needs to remind women that any "not enough" is more than enough in Christ. Jesus is your strength and help and the only One who can dispel the "not enoughs" for good. Because with Jesus you are always more than enough. (2 Corinthians 9:8) [written by Janna Wright, author and speaker]  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog | ||

| 4 Funny/Interesting Facts About Nigeria You Probably Didn't Know Posted: 15 Jul 2017 11:16 PM PDT  Jumia Travel shares 4 of them. Nigeria Has One of the Largest Butterfly Diversity Nigeria has been found to have the most appropriate habitat for a large variety of the world's butterflies. The areas around Calabar, Cross River State, located in Nigeria's southern region, is the widely believed home of one of the largest diversity of butterflies. It's One of the Oldest Locations of Human Existence Archaeological evidence shows that the history of human existence in Nigeria dated as far back as 9000 BC. The Nok civilization, which existed around 500 BC – 200 AD, is actually the earliest known civilization in Nigeria. The Cost of Living in Abuja is Well Beyond the Average Professional's Wages This is more pathetic than funny really, but it's the sad truth. Since the 1990s, the cost of living in Abuja is above what an average professional can afford. This thus makes living in the state quite difficult. However, to ease the burden, young professionals would typically live as 'housemates' in the same apartment, sharing the cost of rent in equal parts to ease some of the burden. Nigeria is Home to the Happiest and Most Optimistic People in the World This really isn't surprising but it's an interesting fact nonetheless. According to the World Happiness Report 2017 produced by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), a global initiative of the United Nations, Nigeria ranks as Africa's sixth happiest people. The truth is, it might not seem like Nigerians have anything to be happy about but our choosing to be happy and rejoice as we go about our daily hustle regardless of anything, is much healthier than wallowing in depression and despair for the state of things.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog | ||

Incase you missed it, read below.  Happy Gday to my beautiful lovely lil loud mouth,argumentative know it all,shit kickin,Cap ass Southside Patna. @majorgirl As a couple We've experienced some of the greatest moments in our lives together & burnt a hole in a bunch of big bags of money,in some of the most beautiful places in the world. And while I may have fucked up & still have so many more fuck ups in me on so many levels,one thing that's never gon change is how I consider you.... You are,have been,& always will be one of the Best Friends I have in the world. We've done just about all there is to do,good & bad. I remember for a long time we couldn't even spend a day apart from one another we were so emotionally connected. Then we were forced to "do time" apart back to back.(That shit sucked huh?) Then we popped back up on they ass and showed the world how cool raising kids could be on Family Hustle. While that may have put a few million more people than we'd like in our personal intimate business,it also became an example for so many who didn't have one in the areas of parenting,family & marriage in HipHop.... That's some real stand up shit to be proud of. We have 7 amazing kids who all have enough skills,smarts,talent and ability to take care of us in our old age....Now That's awesome!!! And while most of these nosey, no business havin,overly-opinionated,fake caring ass people would see it as a break up... I see it differently. In my eyes,we didn't break up,we EVOLVED into something unconditional. A relationship that supersedes fidelity,physical presence,or any other disagreement we may have faced. What we have is stronger than the bullshit & for that I'm thankful. We've taught each other things that'll allow us to continue to raise hell & kick shit for many many moons. Keep pressing your line & polishing your shine Mrs.H... Enjoy this day that's a celebration of the day the lord gave US You!!! Kick Big Shit Fa That!!!! With Eternal Love Respect & Admiration, 👑Tip👑BIG Daddy👑King Sr👑Mr Harris. #HappyBirthdayMrsH  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog | ||

| ''Don''t sink funds into it"- Diezani warned Aluko about buying $80m yacht | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 15 Jul 2017 01:12 PM PDT  "If you want to hire a yacht, you lease it for two weeks or whatever. You don't go and sink funds into it at this time when Nigerian oil and gas sector is under all kinds of watch," she said to Aluko in a recorded conversation. But her warning was not heeded as Aluko went on to buy Galactica Star, a luxury yacht, for $80million,Quartz Africa reports.  The yacht, a stupendous luxury on water, was once rented by Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce for close to a million dollars during a holiday last year. It also once hosted Beyonce's 32nd birthday in 2013. Both Aluko and Omokore are alleged to have paid bribes between 2011 and 2015 to Diezani who ensured that shell companies owned by the businessmen received billion-dollar contracts to sell Nigeria's crude oil. The oil swap contracts were a controversial barter arrangement which saw Nigeria use middlemen to sell crude oil in exchange for refined products. With local refineries under-performing, oil swap deals were used to shore up local demand for petroleum products. Between 2010 and 2014, under Diezani's watch, Nigeria was estimated to have channeled over 352 million barrels of oil worth a total of $35 billion into oil swap deals. The US Justice Department (DOJ) lawsuit has provided more insight into the scale of theft of Nigeria's oil riches under Diezani Alison-Madueke's watch. The civil lawsuit, brought by DOJ's Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, is seeking to recover $144 million in assets, including a $50 million luxury condo apartment in New York and the $80 million yacht.  Prosecutors say both assets were proceeds from bribes paid by two Nigerian businessmen for lucrative Nigerian oil contracts. The lawsuit seeks the forfeiture of both assets. The government also alleges that Aluko, Omokore and others funded a lavish lifestyle for Alison-Madueke. According to the allegations, they conspired to purchase millions of dollars in real estate in and around London for Alison-Madueke and her family members, then renovated and furnished these homes with millions of dollars in furniture, artwork and other luxury items purchased at two Houston-area furniture stores at Alison-Madueke's direction.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog | ||
