Check these pictures out,they seem really funny at first but on the real the devil messes with our mind and makes us do stupid things when we feel there is no way out but with JESUS there is always a way out.

LOL Only in Ghana...
I wonder where more African men commit suicide? In the UK or in Africa? Anyway lets just sweep it under the carpet over here... Or blame the devil... Yes blame the devil... Thats what we have been taught to do... lmao...
Remember that show I told you about? Well here is a small clip...

My response
Dude how come you dont attach your name to your posts because it will be nice to know who I am addressing this to. Yes i did watch the clip and no I do not remember talking to you about it.The heading was just a figure of speech and should not be taking literally. You ask some good questions because the incedence of mental illness within the black community in the UK is disproportinately high and may be (not sure)less in Africa?This is correlated with the high number of Black people who are put in mentaly institutions.It is a serious topic which should be looked at and as you said should not be swept under the carpet.
Regarding the Bondocks clip - this poses some good questions about the acceptability of Jesus to Black people because of his colour.My answer to that is that its not about his colour but his blood that washed away my sins. Under the new covenant with God there is no bonded man, Jew or Greek or African for that matter. The clip however to an extent reinforces the steroytypes about black people ie. stupid, obsessed with the N word, gun crazy etc etc.However I guess it trys to address serious and touchy issues from the perspective of a Hiphop orientated culture without seeming to be on a crusade or without being too serious.
Thanks for the Post and stay blessed.

FEEL THE FORCE
Sorry folks it has taken a while for me to put up this post I been busy and work and trying to restructure my life to make it more Christ like - its hard getting rid of the secret sins in your life but through Christ I know I will be VICTORIOUS.
OK enough about my life lets talks concerts.( you can click on pictures for full image)
INCEPTION
Last week Friday (6:20) I found my self in the heartland of East London not quite sure what to anticipate from relative newcomers to UK Gospel Hip-Hop scene but I was definitely looking forward to performances from 4 kornerz (GRADUATES) andCommision (2nd Year undergrads).
DELAY
The was a lengthy wait at the KICC reception during which time Igot familiar with what G-FORCE were about with the aid of Gospel Link MagazineGL which featured the group on last months cover. To be honest with you I did not know much about this group, it was a free concert and you know how our folks love FREENESS. The article was aight;I found out that G- Force was short for God's Force and that a member of the group was the son of Pastor Ashimolowo. This obviously tainted my perception of the group (were they rally good) or were they just jumping on the band wagon of a famous Pastor and Church, soon all this was revealed when the doors were open (7:20) leading to a scramblefor seats by teenagers (mostly female). One impressive thing about the function was the large input of youth in ushering and in the helping of setting up the stage etc - obviouslythe church's ministry was doing a good job in engaging this age group.
>
The MC
At 8:00 pm on the dot the MC or if you will compeer took the stage which was aptly designed to reflect a construction site, hence keeping with the G-FORCE album title DESTROY (flesh) and REBUILD (through CHRIST).
Unknown to me the MC was Simply Andy a fellow Ghana man who definitely brought the house down with his quick with and commentary about AFRICANS. He also made me more comfortable (joke) in an environment that resembled little NIJAFEST.
Church on Fire
Fist to storm the stage were the ever talented4 Kornerz, and boy did these Nija Boys keep it real with a three piece set which was full of sick instrumentation, genuine praise hyped up energy and true showmanship coupled with on point voices, that definitely left the punters crying out for more(definitely cop the album). I will just let the PICS speak for themselves.
(Who can spot SIMPLY ANDY)
Up next were a group of young folks by the name of AMBASSODORS with an excellent ministry of spreading the gospel through dance and they definitely brought it. (Keep it up)
Intermission
During the intermission I gathered some courage and approached two (Vidal - drums) and (Daniel - Vocals) of the 4 brothers from 4kornerz(Deji - Lead Singerand TJ - Key, Vocals and Production) for a quick word about their music and ministry and what a pleasant surprise they were.
These guys were pleasant and told me that the focal point of their music was to spread their music and most importantly the Gospel to all Four Corners of the World.
They reaffirmed their commitment to continue making and performing music full time. I wish them the best. If you get a chance to see them live please do, becausethey are serious.
the Main Event
G-Force took the stage after the intermission to the delight of their numerous fans
.
Dressed in full construction gear they invaded the staged with a full band who tore it up) and three vocalist who at times outshone the group. They definitely delivered what their fans wanted - gritty track with continuousflows full of metaphors and numerous punch lines galores.These guys definitely had energy and some 'street' decent track but I wasnt sure their music was top notch until after a wardrobe change into suits (quite professional) during which time Mark Asari and the band entertained the masses with his smooth voice.
Mark Asari performing
A suited G-force came back on stage to deliver a Mark Asari produced track by the name of LOVE.
These tracks was definitely top notch well produced and biblically sound in putting forward the message of relationships and love in Gods eyes without sounding cheesy and the ladies definitely loved it.
After the slow down an up-tempo end to the night was definitelyrequired and G-Force did not disappoint, with the help of one part of Commission Tope Icie, Faith Child, Victizzle (affiliate and producer) dropped a serious track called COALITION CHECK IT OUT . The place was definitely HYPED
With more Bangers from their album they goy everyoneon their feet and dancing
Andy Bussin some MOVES
The night was finished of in Prayer and I got a quick word with Mark Asari, Simply Andy and Commissions Tope Icie, unfortunately I could not speak to G-FORCE. After going through their security (friends) and asking a church usher I was told to join the line for people buying CD's. Here Iwas told that since I was told that I could not have quick word because they were busy, I persisted and got to the table where I asked Once of the group if I could have a quick word, he was not impressed and asked me where I had come from I told him Manor House and he replied they could not speak to me.
So all I got was some picks of G- FORCE selling CDS
Mark Asari
I felt this young man was humble and has a bright future his performance on the night was 'live' and judgingfrom speaking with him if he puts his eyes on God he should go far.
Tope Icie
One part of Commission Tope also seemed like a cool dude with his focus on spreading the word of God. He told me his brother was at Uni and he was holding the fort for the day. He stated that thegroup was created in 2004 and currently had their EP out and are slowing down to put character before their music and to grow spiritually. Watch out for a DVD soon.
Last but not least Simply ANDY
This brother id down to earth and a jack of all trades building a t-shirt empire of the back of his sick track BIBLES BIBLES DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREEEEEEEEE.
He brought down the house withhis jokes and is on a mission to bring light hearted side to Gospel Hip-Hop. Keep your eyes peeled for Andrew Kwabena Apraku and his fiancé (manager) for better things in the future.

Thought for the day
As a christian I have my flaws and struggles with the flesh, sometimes I fall but I have come to the conclusion that Christ has paid the price and if i believe that his blood truly washed away my sins then I should be able to ask for forgiveness, repent and most importantly forgive myself.When you fall get up and brush the dirt of your shoulder - move on and forget about the past.Learn from your mistakes (easier said done done).
So many of us find it hard to forgive ourselves for or shortcomings in Gods eyes.
But God does not hold a grudge.
Why would God give as another day to live just after we have sinned?
Because he believes in another chance for us.
He knows our future with him is greater than our past without him.
He wants us to be renewed.
Everyday we wake up and take a breath it is God saying Kwabena (put your name here) its a new day today,yesterday you fornicated, stole, killed, cheated, coveted and sinned against me, BUT today is new day and my Grace and Blood has washed you, so pick up your weapons (BIBLE) and run a GOOD race. You cant give up as long as you breath you must always come back to me when you fail.I will Always love you.
GIVE YOUR IMPOSSIBILITIES TO JESUS

No Show
Sorry i have not posted in a long time. I moved houses and I am still trying to sort out my internet connection.
So here's a little joke to whet your appetite
At a U2 concert in Ireland , Bono, the lead singer, asks the audience for some quiet, then he slowly starts to clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, " I want you to think about something; every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies." A Jamaican in the front yells out, "Den stop clap yu rass hand nuh man."

Quick JOKE
Since I have been moving and travelling I just thought I would make u smile a little before things got back on track again.
Nigeria Airways
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is your captain (Boniface) welcoming you on board of Nigeria Airways. We apologize for the four-day delay in taking off, it was due to bad weather and some overtime I had to put in at the bakery. This is flight 126 to Lagos. Landing in Lagos is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in the south. If luck is in our favor, we may even be landing on your village!
Nigeria Airways has an excellent safety-record. In fact our safety standards are so high that even terrorists are afraid to fly with us!
It is with great pleasure; I announce that since starting this year over 50% of our passengers have reached their destination. If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off!
To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable, we serve complimentary Bongo tea and Okin biscuits! For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!
We regret to inform you, that today’s in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television. But for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Al Barka, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin window.
There is no smoking allowed in this plane. Any smoke you see in the cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow down! In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible for the best view. If, however, we go a little too close, do let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!
Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and fasten your seatbelt. For those of you who can’t find a seatbelt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat …and for those of you who can’t find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your suitcase."
Enjoy Nigeria Airways

It seems no workplace or vocation is exempt from the powers of 419. lol

Fraudulent e-mails concerning British Pharmacopoeia
The Agency has received several e-mails from overseas requesting assistance in purchasing the latest British Pharmacopoeia (BP) from countries including Benin and Nigeria. These are fraudulent attempts to obtain copies of the BP without payment. Please forward any you receive to Richard Turner in the BP Unit.

To Chew or not to Chew
 |
| From Starred Photos |
The local Laundromat has over the years become the centre where drug addicts come to get their fix (abuse).
This is a conversation with a Somalian man who is hooked on Khat a leaf that is chewed around here by a large Somalian population in the UK. The drug is legal in the UK but illegal in America.
I have seen loads of people under the influence of this drug with some people acting normal whilst chewing it(except for the spitting of the nasty green residue) but what I fear is the effect the drug has on people who are totally addicted and display psychotic and junkie tendencies. The man in the video has been seen on occasions by me pacing up and down the streets in a dazed manner and sometimes sleeping rough around the den where the drug is sold.
What do you think about Khat? Its effect and how it ties in with drug abuse from weed to alcohol.
Did God produce create these plants for medicinal purposes or abuse and would he approve of how man has utilized plants and their extracts?
On reflection I thought this video was not as funny as it seems but a sad reflection of the fall of man into sin as a result of the events in the Garden of Eden.
Please remember to pray fro people under all sorts of abuse in their lives.
Take Care.

Iraq or Nigeria
My mate William asked me this question at work today.
Lets say u were wrongly accused of a crime and had 2 spend 5 years in prison. You had a choice of serving ur time in the worst prison in Nigeria or the most notorious prison in Iraq. Which one u choose?
I choose Iraq for some funny reason it felt safer with the Americans and Brits there and all.
This was his response:
Really? Even tho u don’t speak the language and they would probably take u for a westerner because u are black?
Which would your choose.
By the way after all that this is what he choose:
Well one is just a rough country and the other is a fully fledged war zone so for obvious reasons
Iraq.
Speaking of prisons the battle over the flesh and sin is fought in the mind, break away from your mental slavery.
Peace and thanks for passing by.
