12 THINGS EVERYBODY SHOULD DO IN 2019


 *1. In 2019, Pursue something*.
Don't walk in the entire 365 days without having something particular in mind to achieve. Start a building project, buy a car, pay some school fees, start some job. Just do something!

 *2. In 2019, Walk with people wiser or stronger than you*. In 2019, surround yourself with people who will inspire you, who will make you feel you can do better, who will challenge you on.

 *3. In 2019, Check your dressing or appearance*.
Don't put on 'anything' just because it covers your nakedness. Your appearance tells a lot about you. Iron your dress neatly. Don't wear dresses in the name of fashion or trend . Wear more decent but fitting dresses. This is the slogan: Simple but Classy.

 *4. In 2019, Check how you talk*. Before you open your mouth, be minded of who you are talking to, where you are talking, when you are talking and also know that your integrity is at stake. In every situation, choose silence over speech unless you don't have any option.

 *5. In 2019, Visit people's home*. Visit the old to appreciate them also orphanage and children in need of special care.  Don't let them feel unwanted or neglected in the scheme of things.

 *6. In 2019, be more prayerful*. You can't live your life thinking things occur merely logically. There's a Supreme Being who makes things happen, pray to him.

 *7. In 2019,* start thinking or planning towards doing more for humanity.

 *8. In 2019, be Positive and Realistic*.
Always think Positive while being Realistic. When you see tigers praying to God, don't join them. You can be positive that they won't 'chop' you since they are praying but be realistic too that after the prayers, they'll remain tigers and God will feed them with flesh.

 *9. Buy gifts for your love ones*.
In 2019, try and do something 'small' for parents . You have no idea what  goes on in their minds  Let them feel you are not far off

 *10. In 2019, Invest more, save less, spend less*.
Put your money into investment ventures. Buy T-bills, buy shares, buy fixed deposits, import some goods and sell, be a stock broker, etc. In fact, get more than one stream of income!

 *11. In 2019, Take life Easy*.
Many known names have gone and life goes on. . The point is, don't work your life out. You won't take your work with you when you die. You are not as important as you think, calm down. Take time off work, go and do medical check-up, visit your family, visit gardens or the beach and appreciate nature, etc.

 *12. After* reading, send this message to all your groups and contacts, it may be of help to someone.

SUPER HEROES



We all have Super Heros in our lives
They may not be the strongest
Or the smartest in the world
But are always there for you 
At the darkest hours 
When all thoughts of life 
Has negatively deluded you
They ignite the will in you
To bounce back amidst life challenges
And fight for what you believe in 
To achieve your dreams

PUREST OF HEART


Lord help me
To have the purest of heart
The mind is a snare
Lusting after the things of life

I dine in sin daily
By compromising my faith
Your grace is sufficient for me
The flesh I wear is weak

She takes advantage of me
For an excuse of my trespasses
Because You are forgiven and kind
Doesn't permit self righteousness

I heard whispers in my sleep
My deeds will only bring about death
Both to the soul and spirit  
The heart and the body as a whole

I will be tormented within
Cast into the eternal flame
Help me to be of a clean heart
A heart seeking after your will

I want to be forgiven
To everyone whom have scorned me
Reproof to anger and hate
Reproof to pride and prejudice

Take my life and plant your words
On the fleshy table of my heart
At the end of this journey on earth
l seek to wear the purest of heart

THE JOURNEY OF LIFE


It is true what they say
The journey of life begins with a little step
From a toddler, I have grown
To attain the height of a purposeful man

Not because I am the strongest
Not because I am the smartest
Neither is it because I am special
But because I have a divine helping hand

He never gave up on me
Never judged my shortcomings
But gave me all the support I needed
Life for a moment was never out of place

As I lift up my eyes beyond the clouds
To God who have being sustaining me
Until I journey to my home beyond the sky
Know that I will forever be indebted

Today,  I pray that the joy I found
May it depart not from me and not from you
May the heavenly father light away every darkness
But plant in you a garden of His profound greatness

I BELIEVE IN DREAMS


I believe in dreams
That true love is endless
But sometimes I am afraid
If I am good enough to have

The twilight of your smile
I can not take off my eyes
Hope I can give you true happiness
Someone to love you for nothing-less

Close your eyes and look into your heart
Hold my hands, let me walk you through the stars
I want your world to be bright forever
No miracles, just expressing the way I feel

The feelings I have for you is like rain drops
In your heart, it is going to fill the clouds
And wet the tender flowers
Just so your world becomes beautiful at sunrise

THE SEASON OF GRACE


From the heavens
To the end of the earth
Grace is abound for free
You are sons and daughters
Of the most high
There is greatness deposited
In the heart of men
It is brighter than the sunset

Hold on to God's words
Proclaim them as it is written 
Grace is sufficient for thee
There is favour all around us
All it takes is obedience
A little faith to back your dreams 
But you have to make sacrifices
For the spirit of God to duel within

WHEN THE HEART IS BROKEN



When the heart is broken
The world hatefully against you
When life once behold is forsaken
Hope despised, the mind resentful

Know that God can not abandon you
He is full of love and too kind
He promised, not a needle can harm you
Under His wing you are protected

Do not be weary of serving God
Let His words direct your footpath
Do not be weary of praising God
Every situation, the Lord can turn around

If only you know the extent of His might
And be not feeble to the challenges of life
All battles, for our sake He will fight
The enemy destroyed in front of our eyes

Against thee, the gate of hell shall not prevail
If you refuse to be discouraged
In God's words, greatness shall man attain
By the laying of our petitions on heaven's gate

THE GIRL IN MY DREAM


I woke up in the morning
Can not find the right sense of mind
Emotion twisted and running wild 
My feelings became empty and bald

I could not detect where to find you
I looked for you in the centre of the world
But someone took away the sun
Just when I was trying to be bold

I have been seeing you laying in my dream
The cloud took off her cloth
Showing off to the world, how you are beautiful
To hold your hand, I have to contend with the world

TO LOVE AN ANGEL


I found you in a time
My heart was young and tender
You were God's perfect plan
Always wrote in my heart a song

It has been four lonesome years
The last time I felt your touch
When I was down
You make me smile

I wished you hold my hands
And never leaves
Wished when you told me I will be back
You were not painfully saying goodbye

When you get to the city above the hill
Paved with gold, sunrise to sundown
Keep your pillow warm for me
Do not want your night to be cold without me

You know I can not visit right now
But it does not mean I would stop to care
Because I could only have one love
I am happy when I am with you

The more I think of you
My heart leaps with joy
No one knows what it feels
To be kissed by an angel from God

I can not wait to be with you in heaven
To live with you the rest of our lives
I am packed, just waiting for the train
Without you, life will never be the same

Dedicated to Late Dr. Michael Mieyefaa Young Arney... With love by Chisara Young Arney.

LIFELINE


We need a fresh start
There is so much sadness
Eating up the world
I can not understand

Why everyone is silence
Yet the atmosphere is looming with violence
Tell me, is it actually true?
There is nothing anyone can do

I can not take this anymore
What the heck are we fighting for?
How can we face tomorrow?
If in every household there is sorrow

You may say I am not guilty
My heart is not filthy
I hold no grudges with anyone
I love my neighbors as much I love my son

But when last to your parents, you made a call?
When was the last time you gave aids to the poor?
Do you hold pride in your heart?
Do you for a reason wear envy in your heart?

Can't you see the world is crumbling over your head?
She is hopelessly falling apart, soon will be dead
You have all that the world is relying on
In someone's dark life, you can be the sun

NO ONE NOTICED



I have been wearing a smile
Fooling myself that I am happy
Do not want people to see my fear
I am trapped and drowning

I tried to make amends with myself
I am strong, so everyone can see
Hoping that someone will love me
My story will have a happy end

I could give my whole heart away
I would gamble with what I have
To that person who is right for me
I could never hold back for love

All I hope is if someone would come for me
Take me home and make me smile again
But it seems I am walking in circle
And can not find the path to my heart

People do not care, but judge me from afar
This I could tell, no matter how much disguise they wear
Wish life is much easier like it is told in fairy tale
The world would have be better having friends

Yet no one noticed how I struggled to survive
In a world crowded with selfish  minds
They only seek for personal affection
For the things they will kill to have

LITTLE GIRL


Little girl
Left out to fend by her self
She cries out in the depth of the night
For a kiss and a bed time hug
For a mother's unprecedented love
But there is no one out there that heed to her call

What could she have done to deserve this cruelty?
Of a world lust for wealth and power 
No one cares in the world any more 
No one cares how many tears she cries
I can not tell you not to hate the world
I can't blame you for being sarcastic to every one

Oh little girl, it is almost time for the sun to be up
Let him hold your hand and lite your smile
You can become great, prove the world wrong
It saddens the heart that your father rejected you
And your mother could not help but abandon you
This made you grow up without a family but all alone

I am sorry, my words might not be comforting
Can you allow the flower in your heart to be tendered?
Open your heart to forgive and forget
I know you are strong, you are a brave little girl
I pray you find the courage to move on
Prove to the world that you are now grown up

MISTAKES



Every day, mistakes are made
Sometimes we learn from it
Sometimes we ignored it and walk away
You may not realize this
Mistakes has become part of our lives
It defines who we truly are
It tells the nature of the person inside

You cannot move higher in life
Making the same mistakes each day
Everything needed to succeed in life is not around you
But have to look inward to identify them
Not hiding in the dark chasing someone else’s dream
Life don’t just play it unfair because you are black
Do not expect her to give you a pat on the back

We do not life in a simple world
You have to fight for what you believe in
Run an extra mile if that is what it takes
To get to your destination
Stop blaming the world for your problems
Do not expect the wind to blow challenges away
You have to make sacrifices to excel in life

SORROW




Sorrow crippled life 
Just as hate purges the heart
The timid sun lies in grief
Battered by the selfishness of man

Unwanted memories could go away
Man chooses to kill one another
Left souls of children laying in the grave 
As the world deteriorate from unloved

Life withers, insecurity is on the rise
The evil in the heart of men escalates even more
For the sky is now gray, the night homeless
But now the world wants to destroy the moonlight

ONE DAY


One day
Life is going to be alright
Dreams will run free
And walk on high heels

One day
There will be no one lonely
True love will envelope the sky
Every heart bestowed a perfect match

One day
There will be no worries for water and food
There will be abundance of rainfall
Famine will be eradicated in our land

One day
The strife for war will be over
Hate driven away from our midst
Love unbroken but bonding in every country

One day
The world is going to be better
No more looking over the shoulder
Afraid of kidnappers and robbers

One day
It is all going to be over
No more tears in our children's eyes
No more broken homes but happy family

LAST NIGHT




Last night
When you went to bed
I hugged you in my dream
And saved a kiss on your pillow
Just a piece of me
To remind you that I care
In my heart
You will always reside
I cherish and love you forever
Also, I left you a smile
To wish you a beautiful day

ANGRY SUN



Some times the mind
Can not figure out what is right
The world seem to be a nuisance
Everyone is running out of time

Life is abrupt, things are out of hand
The world stood dumbfounded
Raindrops could not clear the witty sky
No one wants to take the thrash out

Man has no more potency
For hope is derailed
Without putting on a light
No one can measure the depth of the night

When walking under a angry sun
You have to shade the eyes to see afar
To have a better world

The heart of man ought to be sacrificed

Open Hand


In the morning-I will stretch out
hands to receive blessing from
you,
in the mid-day-
I will come to you with open
hand for ship load of goodness,
at the night-
I will bow down before you to
say "THANKS" for your unfailing
love and kindness.

With appreciative mind-
I will come to your temple-
with sacrifice;
with heart full of joy-
I will bless you among
people of same mind,
with happiness-I will roll
out drums and tambourine
to sing your praise.

With cymbals and harp,
I will worship in your
courtyard, and with horn
I will herald your glory and
greatness among gods.

My faith in you will never
diminish,
and the trust-I have in you
will never wane;
when-I wake up-each day
see your handiwork,
the planetary heaven, oceans
rivers, mountains, cliffs, animals,
domestic and wild;
I'm assured-you live-
forever.

WHO IS JESUS?


Jesus is the prince of peace
He is the alpha and Omega
The lord of lords, king of kings
He is the son of the most high God

Jesus is the lover of my soul
He is the one who died on the cross
So I might be made whole
He takes care of all my need

Jesus restores broken home
He heals the sick and raise the dead
He protects man from all manner of evil
He gives rest to the heart that is heavy ladened

When Jesus comes into a man's life
His world never remain the same again
He takes away the darkness lingering in his heart
And plant a light that is eternally bright

Jesus feeds the hungry, made the blind to see
If you are looking for a friend, faithful and holy
Whom would never disappoint you
Search no more, Jesus is the one you seek

A NEW WORLD


A new world
This is what I seek
There is too much tyranny
The church is deprived of love

Underneath the sunrise
There is a little child starving
There is a girl child unprotected 
From the cruelty of humanity

Everywhere I looked, there is strife and conflicts
But how long are we going to live like this
Indulge in hateful gathering of despised
Dislodged, misguided and reckless youth

It is not about racist and inequality
It is not about taking up arms to war
We have to stop wearing forged faces
Fight the pestilence threatening the unborn

You and I knows this is true
Despite we may refuse to acknowledge this
Do not you think we deserve a better world?
A world children can live in peace and hamony

WAIT IN VAIN


It has been three days waiting for your call
I looked out the window for a sign
Maybe the wind will whisper to me
If you are missing me terribly too

Please tell me if waiting for you is right
I will do anything to have you in my arms
Should you not find me at home
I am waiting under the stars for you

Maybe if it rained yesterday, it wouldn't today
The heart misses you and your warm smile
Heart leaps in ecstasy waiting for your love
Waiting to have a kiss that is long overdue

I am incomplete without you
Please do not make me wait in vain
Every passing day, my feelings is torn apart
I hate feeling like this because you are my world

THE COLOUR OF MY HEART


the colour of my heart blooms 
when i see you,
thinking someday we could get through,
when it's all good

the colour of my heart fades 
when you walk away,
trying to build a life with what's left
this bleeding never ends
please, all i want is for you to stay.

yet, one day you will disappeared,
nothing heard,no tears streams
i will be strong yet still teared within,
in the galaxy of my own soul

it wasn't i, it wasn't i , it was you
it was the life that seperated us
without sign,without telling 
Like the winds changed in our hearts

though am still chasing, still hoping,
wondering how am i even loving,
this feeling i couldn't resist every morning and evening,

i want to stop, it was deceiving,
please, let myself stop believing.

maybe you realized how pathetic 
i am to you,
how unforgiven and not deserving,
but i already knew that 
but thought your love was home 
for who i was

yes, it was so damn true 
now the sadness inside me want to get through, i'm so tired thinking what am i supposed to do.

between us, it's over,
but you said " we can't predict our future,"
once again, i believed,
extremely funny, I AM THE ONLY ONE who believes,

Please, just tell me you love me even if it's not true, 
there i go again am finding it hard to let go

This is the last time i'll be fooled by you.

SEPTEMBER MORNING


Another early morning
When the birds are singing,
The wind calmed down
And the rain disappeared!

The majestic sun is rising
Bringing life to a new day
While I can feel in the air
Another season approaching!

The trees are motionless
And the surroundings look
Like changing by the hours
But it is just mid-September!

Many things come to my mind:
Joyful moments of the past
When you and I were
Tightly holding hands
While walking through
The well known Central Park!

Like innocent children,
We sat down on the ground
And happily played with 
The colorful dried leaves
Of a very welcomed Fall,
A September morning I recall!

It don't matter if you

If you can't turn it, 
then you can't turn me on,
You can try, but you 
need to put your

Please me, don't tease me,

Cause I been left for dead,
I've been dead inside.
But I still know how to fight inside.

GIFT OF FRESH LEAVES


(A Plea Song for Leah Sharibu)

If Leah, is a gift of fresh leaves,
Please, give us this gift,
Before the soulless scorching sun,
Harvested by the grotesque hands
Of bosomless savage beasts,
Turns our dear gift of fresh leaves
Into a gift of dried leaves: 

President Buhari, we beseech you;
Please gift us with Leah, and the others girl.
--------------------------------

Leah, is the young school girl, who (the so called) bokoharam is still holding in captivity, after releasing the other girls they 'kidnapped' alongside her in Dapchi, Yobe state Nigeria, just because she refused to renounce her christian faith -- and be converted to a muslim. Since February, 2018 -- more than 200 days now, Leah, is still in captivity...

Searching for you ...


Why is my mind constantly 
Searching for you 
Every nook and corner in my heart 
You left an indelible mark 
Which I tried many times 
To wipe out in vain 
You have become part of my
Life now leaving no room
For anyone,  my love 
Your charming looks captured my heart at the very first meeting 
Under the twilight glow 
An evening well spent 
Together in love 
You went away to another land looking for a job !
I wait for you day and night
In the hope you will be mine 
Very soon !
These thoughts are killing me every day losing my sleep every night !
I am ready to embrace you 
Leaving the past 
Waiting with beautiful flowers 
From the garden of my heart !

STRANGE FATE



When I see your eyes, pale and sincere
Strange fate creeped into my life
My heart ran through a red light
With feelings out of control

My world was never the same
You have a look that is rare
Beautiful in every way possible
My mind keep beating around

You seem like someone out of this world
Chances are I would not be good enough for you
That you will always be far away from me
But I am ready to go the distance for you

No matter how resilient the weather
It wouldn't pull me away from you 
I am not afraid to fall in love with you 
Even if our path has different destination

I could see the colour of the night in your eyes
With you, I know love doesn't change like the weather
Should you love me back, I will be the lucky one
For you are all I need

IF




If I am the one 
That got your heart broken
Fault from the beginning is yours 
Every day spent
I tried to turn back the clock
But time is out of reach
I can't hold a grip
What a relief it would be

If the past is completely forgotten
And the future very near
I will kiss the world
Away from September
I don't want to give you up
You are a part of my dream
Wish I could hold your hands
Lead you through my emotion

For you to understand
My heart has always been open
I could not take for granted
How perfect you made my life
Without you there is nothing within
Your love is what makes my heart happy
I promise never again to hurt you
I love you

Netflix Buys Genevieve Nnaji’s Movie Lion Heart



American over-the-top media services provider, Netflix reportedly bought Genevieve Nnaji’s movie Lion Heart, on the eve of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Genevieve Nnaji’s movie Lion Heart which will premiere at TIFF on Saturday, has stars like Nkem Owoh, Pete Edochie, and Onyeka Onwenu. The announcement made on Friday by Netflix, makes the comic movie the first Netflix original film from Nigeria.
Variety reported that the story follows a daughter who’s forced to work with her feckless uncle in order to save her father’s ailing bus company. Nnaji plays Adaeze, a level-headed executive in her father’s bus company, Lionheart Transport. When her father (played by Edochie) falls ill, both she and her rival (Kalu Egbui Ikeagwu) are passed over in favor of the uncle, played by Owoh.

Complications arise when they discover that the family business is in dire financial straits — leading to absurd results as they try to save the company. The film also touches on everyday sexism that saturates the workplace, as well as the delicate balance between honoring one’s family while finding the courage to strike out on one’s own.
The movie which is produced by T.E.N. — The Entertainment Network, was written by Genevieve Nnaji, Chinny Onwugbenu, Ishaya Bako, Emil Garuba, and C.J. Obasi. The movie is also the veteran actress’ directorial debut.

Genevieve Nnaji, an actress who has an undeniable star power, made her debut as a producer in 2015 with the movie “Road to Yesterday.” The movie raked in 30 million naira at the box office.

You and Me



How strange it is
When I am surrounded by dark
The darkened path of my life
Scare me of pitfalls ahead
Bewildered I open and close my eyes
With wide eyes I look for light 
To show and lead me ahead.

Perplexed and dazzled ,
I seek you my love
I think there is no one to hold my hand

Suddenly, you appeared as Moon,
Spreading your moonlight on path
Dazzled by your mystifying appearace
Where to I see, I see you there smiling.

The dark is shed and your moon light ahead,
With all fears of insecurity blown away
I see my path and destination clear 
When you are with me as  Moon, my dear.

(c) Mohinderdeep Grewal.

IF YOU EVER KNEW



If there were only
One moment left
In my fragile life,
I would run to you
And hold you tightly
While in your arms
And dance with you forever!

Each embrace
Would remain with me
So the memory of that
Special moment
Would suspend my lifetime
In an air of love just
Raised by you alone!

If the pain in my heart
You truly knew,
The ache turning me
Outside out like an x ray
And penetrating the walls
All around me when I am still
Madly in love with you,
If you ever knew
My dear dreamed love!

WHERE EVER I GO


In the morning when I am awake
When I look up the sky
When I go to sleep
I see you watching over me

The talent and gift I have
The heart to love every one
The success I have achieved
Without you Lord, I wouldn't have

In my mother's womb
To the day I was conceived
The moment I learnt to crawl
It has all being you 

The day I took a big step to walk
Knew I had to follow my dreams
When it seems that all is but lost
You taught me never to give up 

The breath I take each an every day
The food I need to sustain today
The shelter laid above my head
Are all made possible because of you

I could not count the things you did for me
I could not measure your grace upon me
But in every way be grateful
For whom I have come to be

HE RESTORES MY SOUL



From the hands of death He restored my soul
Fought every battle the enemy's wedged at me
The wicket man set ambush all about me
Yet I walk in and out in peace and full glory

Who are my to be counted worthy?
To stand and behold Your presence Lord
For You are the king of kings, creator of heaven and earth
Blessed is the who seeks comfort in your refuge

Each day is a testimony of your grace upon me
This indicate the rise of a new sun above me
The birth of greatness yet abound
Throughout the day and the rest of my life

Thank You Lord for everything You did
There is no season for rain, sunshine or harmattan
For everyday spent with You
Is sweeter and glorious than the day before

There is never a moment of distress
You never gave up a drop of Your divine care
Because of love, your begotten son on the cross was slayed
Through His resurrection, gave man victory over death
