Joseph Okechukwu


Naturally I'm a Lone Ranger. I don't have friends. But in this year, I want to open myself up to the Magic of Friendship and responsibly too.
I'm going visit a lot of new countries that I haven't been to yet, especially in Africa. I love Africa to bits.
2017 pretty much is the year I plan on taking my career to the next level, exploring entirely new grounds and biting just more than I can chew. I believe it is going to be a very adventurous year indeed.


Princess Chineke
2016 was a good year. I achieved some goals but not as I would have wanted due to the economy. But it was certainly above average.
Mistakes were certainly inevitable, lessons learnt that's why it was a warm up and 2017 being the game will be sure far better than the former.
I will discard the unproductive trees and raise the bars a bit for the successful ones. I will also acknowledge the supremacy of God more this year, for its God who gives power to make wealth.
Every thing depends on God but i'll work as if everything depends on me.
I also want to be more proactive, productive,patient, light other candles like Thomas Jefferson will say; A candle looses nothing when it lights up another candle.
I want to learn more, increase my multiple streams of income if 10% input = 20%output ,with the economy one can only increase input of 100 to give us 130-150. Like Hector Lamarque said; most people make good choices everyday ,but don't make enough good choices to create momentum and obtain success " so its a year of more than enough input.

Biodun Okeowo

My new year resolution is to get closer to God, serve him more, do more of silent humanitarians stuffs. I also want keep less friends.
Adding to that, in my business aspect,having done a training here in Nigeria before venturing into the beauty business I also want to go study cosmetology abroad to broaden my knowledge then spread my tentacles to the island soonest!
May God help me‎.

My New resolution is to have less friends and make more money. I also want to come very close to God. And love my boyfriend more like never before. ‎
As for my ‎plan, I want to settle down th‎is year and start my own family. Make more good movies a‎nd to leave the country for a while‎. I really need a break from the stress here in Nigeria.

Yul Edochie

I don't have new year resolution. I just do what I know is right before God and man.
As for plans for the year, I let God have his way. His plans would guide me through. Na God hand I dey o.

Tonto Dike shares powerful message about self value

 Nollywood actress took to Instagram to share her thoughts on love, friendship, self worth, career, and relationship. 




 Read her, it sends a clear message that you should value yourself.

"Most people are pretty obvious with their actions.
I rarely get my hopes up, not because I am a pessimist but because I am a realist.
Actions prove why words mean nothing, from relationships to work, from work to parties.
Intentions that aren't acted upon are just ideas, and ideas without action are just thoughts.
So if that woman you want to be with is messing around, it is because you aren't her priority.
If that guy doesn't call you for two weeks, he doesn't like you as much as you like him.
If that important meeting keeps on getting rescheduled, it means it is not that important to the other party.
If the government fail the people they are supposed to be representing time and time again, it means that they aren't really representing you, or they just aren't bothered.
The people who always text and call to ask how you are, these are the people who care.
The people who email you back straight away and the people who do things to help. These are the people you should invest your time in.
Remember your happiness starts with you.
Not with your relationship.
Not with your friends.
Not with your job.
But with you.
Things outside of you won't fix problems on the inside.
Love yourself properly and people will love you.
Don't echasee after people/Things who are running away, if it is meant to be it will be.
If not, there are plenty more fish in the sea x
Everything is everything

Nicki's ex Safaree Samuels says he is opened to have another chance with her

Now that Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have broken up, Nicki’s ex Safaree Samuels says he’s more than open to rekindling the flame they once had.
via TMZ:
Nicki’s ex thinks it’s about time she dropped the Philly rapper because their relationship was always a better look for Meek than her … according to a rep for Safaree.


The rep tells us Safaree thinks Meek did zilch to boost Nicki’s career. Case in point, she didn’t release a single new album during nearly 2 years of dating him. Or, as Janet would put it: what has Meek done for you lately?
If this sounds like a swoop in progress, there’s a good reason. We’re told Safaree never stopped loving Nicki, and is ready and willing to reopen communication … if she is too.
Of course, their breakup was kinda nasty … so it’s interesting Safaree would come to her defense. Each publicly accused the other of cheating, and he even dropped several breakup raps.
