Delivering On Your D-R-E-A-M

Posted: 23 Dec 2017 01:32 AM PST

No man likes regret. The problem is that we can easily get caught up in the drive to obtain great things, experiences, power, pleasure, fame, fortune, sex and stature. While there's nothing wrong with healthy achievement, the pursuit of these things can require massive energy, consume your focus, and kill relationships in the process.

In spite of our best intentions we end up holding a big bag of regret to compliment our achievements. Along the way someone or something paid the price for getting what we thought we wanted so bad at the time. Oops.

Don't despair. The dream hasn't died it's just being re-set to eliminate regret and replace it with what you were really after – significance.

All that is needed now is, 
the right focus coupled with the right disciplines to sustain my motivation and move me in the right direction. To this end, consider the following fact and helpful roadmap.

Dream Fact: You are made to dream creative visions because you were hardwired by God for more.

Perhaps the best question to ask is: Does your dream(s) correlate with God's dream for you? To find out, ask yourself these questions and compare your answers with what God thinks.

Is it to become wealthy?
  • "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."— Hebrews 13:5
Is your lens focused correctly?
  • "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things… And the God of peace will be with you." — Philippians 4:8-9
Are you drawing on your own strength?
  • "I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."— Philippians 4:12-13

There's your dream and there's God's dream for you. First, you have to realize why you were created. You were created because God wants to love you. He wants more children to love, and more children who will love him back. You may have to marinate on this for a while, because understanding this fundamental truth can be the key to realizing God's dream for you.

Consider resetting your aspirations with this D-R-E-A-M:
  • D-ecide to let God decide
  • R-eside in the glory of His reality
  • E-xchange your vision for God's
  • A-ccept God's process
  • M-ove His boundaries in continual growth

In my book, "Dream," I expand on my own journey to finding and living God's dream. Here's the main point: God's dream for you is about becoming a great man who seeks glory by joining God's personal process of becoming like His Son, leaving fantasies of greatness, and choosing to embrace our everyday reality to bring Him glory.

Letting go of your dream, and letting God's dream for you be your pursuit will fulfill every area of your life. It's not without challenge, discomfort, conflict, loss and pain, but the journey will be worth it.

Adekunle Gold opens up on asking Adesua Etomi out | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 23 Dec 2017 01:13 AM PST


Via twitter Adekunkle Gold once revealed that he asked newly married Adesua, to be his girlfriend but was told by her to get 50, 000 retweets before she would accept. He was still on the retweets when Adeua announced her engagement to Banky.

Speaking with Saturday Beats about the tweet, Gold said it was a joke.
"People do not know if Adesua is just my friend. They wouldn't know if my tweet was just banter or if it was real. I guess a lot of people thought it was real and I was asking Adesua out online. Why would I do that? We were just joking and she is my friend. I even tweeted when she got engaged that I'd not even got the 50, 000 retweets she asked for and she was already engaged. It was just banter but I guess people see what they want to see. Adesua and I never dated; we were/are just friends.


"If we had dated, I would have definitely worked towards marrying her. I mean, who would not want to marry Adesua? That is 'if' we had dated but that was never the case."

On marriage;


He said, "I am also thinking of marriage because I am a family man. Already, I have a girlfriend but I would not tell you if she is in this industry. I don't have to tell you if I am dating Simi or not. I cannot reveal my girlfriend's identity because it could be that she does not want to be known. It could be that I want that aspect of my life to be a secret. People know and love me because of my music. I cannot be married for 10 years and people would not eventually find out. When the time is right, everyone would know who my love interest is. Let's assume that I am dating Simi, what if it does not work out? I'd love to keep that part of my life secret."

Posted: 23 Dec 2017 12:58 AM PST

Curvy actress Anita Joseph has spoken on the attention she gets over her hourglass figure.
Ina  chat with Saturday Beats, Anita said;
"When it comes to my body, it has not been easy with the advances I get from men because of my bum. It has not been easy at all. It makes me wonder if it is a problem having a big bum or a killer figure."

On getting a bum reduction, Anita said she has never thought iof it adding that God made her this way and she would never tamper with his work.

 "It has never occurred to me to reduce my bum. No, why will I do that? Reducing my bum will be me mocking God for what He has blessed me with. I can't even add weight because if I do, my bum would become massive. People pay to make their bum big, why would I reduce the natural one God gave me for free? Please leave my bum, it's from God, undiluted."

On her relationship status;

"I am in a relationship but my boyfriend is not in the entertainment industry, I would say that our meeting was a miraculous one."

Commenting on how the year treated her, Anita told Saturday Beats that 2017 was a financially rewarding year for her. "This year has been wonderful and I can't complain but I know 2018 will be better and more promising. I see a greater year ahead. Yes, it has been financially rewarding and I thank God for that. I travelled out of the country for business and pleasure. I had worked too hard and I deserved the rest," she said.

Innoson Withdraws Motion Against EFCC, GTB

Posted: 22 Dec 2017 09:57 PM PST

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Friday granted an application by Innoson Nigeria Limited and its Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, Mr. Innocent Chukwuma, to withdraw an ex-parte motion they filed against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.

They had sought injunctive reliefs against the commission, Attorney-General of the Federation, the Police, the Inspector-General of Police and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.

Among others, Innoson alleged that,
his arrest and detention by the EFCC was instigated by GTBank.

He has since been released from detention.

When the case, filed on Thursday, came up before Justice Rabiu Hadiza Shagari on Friday, GTBank's lawyer Adebowale Kamoru, urged the court not to hear the ex-parte motion.

He said his client knew about Innoson's move to get injunction against them, adding that the applicants suppressed material facts.

Kamoru cited several judicial authorities, urging the court to hear his client although the ex-parte motion was not formerly served on them.

Innoson's lawyer Prof. MacCarty Mbaduagha said he was withdrawing the application. He said he was instructed by his client to do so.

Kamoru did not oppose the withdrawal, following which Justice Shagari granted the application as prayed.

The judge said: "In view of the application of the applicants' counsel, the application is hereby granted."
Barely 24 hours after his arrest, EFCC on Thursday released Chukwuma on bail.

The anti-graft agency said Chukwuma and his brother, Charles Chukwuma, were being probed for alleged N1,478,366,859.66 fraud and forgery.

The industrialist was also accused of using forged documents to secure tax waivers.

A statement by the Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, said: "The EFCC has released the Nnewi, Anambra-State born industrialist, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, on bail."

4 Foods You Probably Didn’t Know Existed

Posted: 22 Dec 2017 09:57 PM PST

These foods are generally not the most popular but they are some of the healthiest foods in existence. For this reason, these foods should be given some 'publicity' and people should have a chance to get to know them.

In line with this, Jumia Food shares 4 foods you probably didn't know existed.

Bitter Melon 
This healthy food goes by other names like Bitter Gourd or Bitter Squash. It's widely grown in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean and is one food that has plenty of health benefits. For example, it has a soothing effect on the digestive system and is used medicinally to treat upset stomach. It's also able to kill off parasites and other unwelcome entities in the digestive tract.

Chia Seeds 
These seeds contain omega-3 and this is what makes them so healthy. They are small sized, which makes it easier to add them to almost anything, even sprinkling them on top of a main dish for an instant nutrition boost. They are widely grown in several countries of western South America, western Mexico, and the southwestern United States. They contain plenty of fibre and are recommended for diabetics. They are also a non-meat source of protein and are rich in minerals.

Romanesco 
The Romanesco broccoli, also known as Roman Cauliflower, is another very healthy food you probably didn't know existed and is a great source of fibre and vegetable protein. It is also full of Vitamin C, potassium and Vitamin B6, and it boasts of a large assemble of vitamins and minerals which are great for overall health and wellbeing. It has been grown in Italy since the 16th century.

Yacon 
It is traditionally grown in the northern and central Andes from Colombia to northern Argentina and is popular for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. This food is known to show positive signs of being an anti-cancer food and for boosting the function of the liver. Foods that boost the function of the liver are considered important because the liver is such a crucial organ in the body, as it helps the rest of the organs in the body do their job.

Jason Kennedy's wife defends him after Catt Sadler quits E! over pay gap | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 22 Dec 2017 01:03 PM PST

E! News host Jason Kennedy's wife is coming to his defense after he became the subject of negative comments after it was revealed he made double the salary of colleague Catt Sadler.

Lauren Scruggs, 29, penned a blog post noting that her husband was receiving backlash after Sadler revealed she would be leaving the network over the pay disparity.


"I believe in female empowerment and gender equality, but it's heartbreaking that a network is being deemed sexist when that is simply not true,"
"Women are paid accordingly on this network, and the difference in his salary versus hers did not affect Jason. He knows there are always more components to consider when determining one's salary than gender alone," she continued.
A source told People that Giuliana Rancic was paid "significantly more" than Kennedy before she departed the network in 2015.

"At one time my husband had a female co-anchor on E! News who made 3 times his salary," Scruggs wrote, seeming to allude to Rancic.

Scruggs, who married Kennedy in 2014, went on to say there are "two sides to every story."
She declared that if her husband witnessed gender inequality in the workplace he would "take action," but that is not the case.

In a statement issued by E!, the network said: "E! compensates employees fairly and appropriately based on their roles, regardless of gender. We appreciate Catt Sadler's many contributions at E! News and wish her all the best following her decision to leave the network."

Sadler discovered she made just half of Kennedy's salary when it was time to renew her contract with the network.

Petition to have Matt Damon booted from ‘Ocean’s 8’ gets thousands of signatures | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 22 Dec 2017 12:13 PM PST

An online petition to remove Matt Damon from the female-centered "Ocean's 8" after his controversial comments about sexual harassment and assault in the industry has reached more than 18,000 signatures — just shy of its "goal" of 19,000.

"Damon's inclusion would trivialize the serious nature of the charges against sexual abusers like Weinstein, a show massive disrespect for the brave women speaking out. It would also send a terrible message about the inevitability of — and lack of accountability for — sexual harassment in the workplace that four in ten American women experience," the petition read.
Damon faced serious criticism after an interview with ABC News in which he proved he does not understand the #MeToo movement.

The  star defended Louis C.K. and tried to say that some harassment is worse than other harassment.

"There's a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?" Damon said in a new interview with ABC News' Peter Travers. "Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn't be conflated, right?" the 47-year-old said in the interview, which was quickly condemned as tone-deaf.
The actor further put his foot in his mouth when he gave another interview to Business Insider in which he said he would work with accused harassers depending on the story.
He worked with Harvey Weinstein in the past, including on his breakout movie "Good Will Hunting" with pal Ben Affleck.

Damon's cameo in the upcoming Ocean 8 film, due out in June, has been highly publicized.
