The Business of Parenting

Nike Adeyemi
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22: 6 A parent is one of the two persons, male or female, who jointly conceive, nurture and raise a child. Parenting is the activity of bringing up and looking after your child; supporting the physical, emotional, educational, social, intellectual and spiritual development of the child from infancy to adulthood. It's a tough job but with the help of the Holy Spirit, it is a worthwhile investment that will yield great returns. God has given parents the responsibility of raising godly offspring. A mother is a biological female given the assignment to birth children; and a father's assignment is to train and teach them to be responsible. Parents must take their roles seriously and ensure their kids turn out to become responsible citizens of society. 1 Samuel 2:12 records that the sons of Eli the priest were corrupt because they did not know the Lord; implying that if they knew the Lord they would not have grown up to be corrupt. Basic principles of parenting include:- Walk the talk - Be the person you want your kids to be. Practice what you preach. Treat your children with respect. Spend time with your children. Pray for and with your children to expose them to Christianity early. Establish rules and boundaries for your children early. PROV 6:20. Children need to know their boundaries and the consequences of over-stepping them. Love your children. Be involved in their lives. Correct them every time they err. Teach them integrity. Be a positive and moral role model. Praise them when they do well. Mothers and fathers play different roles in the development of their children. Mothers should teach their children to love and respect people, and fathers must take charge as the spiritual head of the home. Parents must be in a partnership with God because parenting takes a lot of time, finances and sacrifice.

Kanye West Joins Twitter, Raps for Facebook

Kanye West is now on Twitter, and if you've read his blog, don't worry -- the ALL CAPS style is nowhere to be seen. Even better news is that he's already dishing scoops on his feed, telling fans his forthcoming album will no longer be called 'Good Ass Job' as once expected. "I'm bouncing a couple of titles around now," the 33-year-old rapper tweeted.

Within hours of his first tweet, West had racked up nearly 40,000 followers. He started out the day with some grammatically fast-and-loose tweets -- "Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley" and a quick correction, "Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : )."

Read on to see Kanye's visit to Facebook HQ in Palo Alto, where he performed new raps a cappella on ... a conference table?

Kanye, lookin' slick as all get-out, visited Facebook's headquarters (Why? Your guess is as good as ours) and spat a few new rhymes without the aid of a mic or beats. Check out the first of several clips [warning: mild language]:



Our favorite new lyric?

"Kill the hypocrisy / This is an aristocracy
I'm Socrates / But my skin more chocolaty"

The always-excellent Vulture has a few more clips -- foul language aplenty, but it's impressive to see Kanye throw down near-full songs with no beats or cues.

Leonardo DiCaprio backs out of Mel Gibson film, report says

On the heels of the release of his incredibly successful film “Inception,” actor Leonardo DiCaprio has decided to withdraw from a Mel Gibson-directed film as Gibson continues to battle a prolific domestic abuse scandal, according to a report from RadarOnline.com.
Sources reportedly told Radar that a source close to DiCaprio said “not a chance” when asked if he would still participate in Gibson’s next project, which was said to be a film about Vikings.
Gibson has been a constant presence in headlines for the past few weeks as alleged recordings of the actor’s racist, sexist and violent rants have leaked to the press. The Oscar-winning actor is also engaged in a bitter custody battle with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva for their infant daughter Lucia.

According to the report from Radar, DiCaprio did not want to risk his reputation, which is at an all-time high following commercial success with “Inception” and “Shutter Island.”
The untitled project was slated to begin filming in 2010 and would be produced by Graham King and Mel’s Icon Production, Radar reports.
Last year, Variety reported that the period piece would be similar in storyline to Gibson’s other successful films “Braveheart” and “The Passion of the Christ.”

Ellen Sings Swan Song After 1 Year on 'Idol'

AP/Fox

In this undated publicity image released by Fox, "American Idol" judges, from left, Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres, Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson are shown.

LOS ANGELES -- Ellen DeGeneres is dancing off "American Idol" after one season, leaving Fox's hit show with two vacancies on its judging panel.

If the singing contest intends to revamp itself to stem a ratings slide, it has the opportunity to bring in two new faces for season 10 in January.

Fox has yet to announce a replacement for Simon Cowell, who left after the season finale in May to start a new talent show for the network.

"A couple months ago, I let Fox and the `American Idol' producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me," DeGeneres said in a statement. The comedian-talk show host said she realized that while she "loved discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings."

DeGeneres said she told the network she would delay any action until it had time to "figure out where they wanted to take the panel next."

A Fox statement contained no announcement of a replacement for DeGeneres. The network could make an announcement Monday, when it presents its 2010-11 programming schedule to members of the Television Critics Association meeting in Beverly Hills.

Judge Kara DioGuardi, who was brought in two years ago to replace Paula Abdul, is not under contract for next year and Fox has not announced whether she'll return.

"It was a joy to work with Ellen," said Mike Darnell, president of alternative entertainment for Fox. "She brought an incredible spirit to Idol."

When DeGeneres joined the show, proclaiming herself a fan of "American Idol" and a pop aficionado, observers noted she didn't bring music industry expertise to her role. Some observers complained she proved more of a cheerleader than an incisive critic in the mold of Cowell.

She had a reported two-year contract.

"American Idol" was the nation's favorite program last season, the seventh time it's held that position. But it showed rare vulnerability, beaten in the weekly ratings several times by ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

A total of 24.2 million viewers watched the ninth season's final duel between Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox, compared to the nearly 29 million viewers who saw Kris Allen win over Adam Lambert last year.

Alleged MJ Love Child Surfaces -- Wants Money

A woman who claims to be Michael Jackson's illegitimate love child -- conceived when MJ was a minor -- has filed legal documents claiming there was a diabolical plot to cover up her existence ... involving murder, abduction and Diana Ross' sister.



The alleged MJ spawn -- Mocienne Petit Jackson -- has filed documents with L.A. County Superior Court claiming she will surely be in line for a serious inheritance check ... if a judge will give the go-ahead on a DNA test.

Here's the story -- MPJ claims back in 1975, 17-year-old Michael Jackson secretly impregnated her mother Barbara ... who happens to be Diana Ross' sister.

MPJ claims when she was 9 years old, Katherine Jackson hatched a plan to "abduct" MPJ and send her to Belgium to protect Michael's "reputation." She claims all 7 of her abductors were later murdered.

Now MPJ -- who currently lives in the Netherlands -- has decided to come forward with her story ... so she can "formally claim my part of my father's inheritance." She also wants custody of MJ's kids so she can give them a "more normal life."

MPJ also claims she was diagnosed with Vitiligo ... so, there's that.

Calls to Diana Ross, Barbara Ross and MJ's camp have not been returned.

AQ: I Didn’t Diss Jesse Jagz But I Would Keep Dissing Ruggedman.

AQ.

AQ addresses Jesse Jagz and Ruggedman Comment/ Purported Feud, Release A Record/Song To Collaborate.
“I was just calling it as i saw it, dude uses autotune and he uses it well, so why all fuss” A-Q said,A-Q released his recent single ‘names’ earlier in the year and reports of feud with Jesse jagz and Ruggedman followed. “We don’t say autotone, we say Jesse Jagz’ track [and] we don’t say whack, we say Ruggedman’s back”, A-Q rapped in the third verse for the single ‘names’.
“I’d say it as it is but it is all love”, the outspoken rap artiste said.
A-Q’s recording career started in 2001 when he released the reportedly controversial ‘(W)rap Up Nigeria’ track off his debut ‘Listen and Overstand’ LP. Ever since, he has worked with several fast rising artistes and producers from Morachi, Terry Tha Rapman, Laylow, Sossick, Frenzy to Kraft. His last record was ‘Love and Money’ mixtape which featured Terry Tha Rapman, Morachi and several other fast rising artistes. The Mixtape remains the very first compilation to parade premium production from Sossick, Frenzy, Laylow, Kraft and it was given to fans free of charge.
“What we have on the track is my very honest opinion on what I thought of Jesse Jagz and Ruggedman” AQ, born Gilbert Usen said about the track. “As much as I am a rap artiste, I’m still a fan but I have never being a fan of  Ruggedman, clearly I wouldn’t say he is dope and for [Jesse] Jagz, I totally didn’t diss him – he sings better than he raps. He has been singing half the time he raps and he does it with a vocoder/autotone, It was a very plain comment. “” he added.
“If it makes any difference, let me say I dance to his songs when it come on in the club’ he included.
“It is not in character any more to give props to whom it is due and tell otherwise when it is not good music, If Jesse Jagz release a good rap record, I would rap about him being the greatest but as at when I recorded ‘names’ and till date, he sings with the autotone software” he further said.
“In the case of Ruggedman, that was pretty much not misconstrued. He is whack and I’d make another record saying so if need be”, he concluded.
AQ is working on a mixtape ‘Bars and Hooks’ which he plans to have it be hosted by DJ Jimmy Jatt. The mixtape would follow before his album titled ‘The Past, Present and Future’ for release before the end of the year 2010.

KANYE WEST ACCUSED OF STEALING LYRICS

Kanye West is an artist who is well-respected for both his production talent and his lyrics. In fact, he prides himself on growing his writing skills when it comes to music.

That's why it comes as a suprise that a unknown producer by the name of Vince P. is accusing West of stealing the lyrics to his hit song, "Stronger." According to an exclusive interview with Bossip, Vince P. claims that Kanye West stole some of the lyrics for "Stronger" from him.

The producer says that he gave one of his songs, also titled "Stronger" to John Monopoly, a Kanye West manager at the time.

Says Vince P. of the songs, "They are very similar...I mean, there's a 1 in 200 million chance that we would use the same title and the same quote from a German philosopher....How many hip hop songs are talking about Kate Moss or French fashion designers?....Yeah, it may be a coincidence, but you aren't going to have six or seven coincidences."

Vince P. says he is filing a copyright infringement suit against Kanye West. "Credit is due somewhere....It's no hard feelings. I just want my money....We want the money that we're owed," he says.

Neither Kanye West or his reps have commented on the matter

Desmond and Nadia

We want to make people cry and laugh – Uche Jombo

The premiere would be showed to a selected crowd amidst pomp and pageantry like it was done for the former two movies.
Holding Hope is the story of Mrs. Badmus and her wayward son. It is the

that hurdle isn’t an easy one. The story was written by  Uche Jombo, Emem
Isong, and Uduak Emem Oguwamalam. With impressive cast such as Uche Jombo,

the movie that has directorial hands of Desmond Elliot and Daniel Adenimokan
to create electrifying masterpiece. Emem Isong is the producer of the flick.
Speaking on the movie, Uche said they want to make people cry, laugh and
perhaps pause and think at the same time. ‘It’s a movie that we intend and
want people to see in the cinema, and be moved by it, cry about it, and at
the same time, laugh.  Really, life is too short, as there are things you

can change in life, but there are also things you cannot change”.
‘Holding Hope’ and ‘Bursting Out’ will be premiered on Sunday, August 8 at
Silverbird Galleria, Lagos before doing rounds at ‘community cinema houses’
across the country.

"I have no problem with my wife" - Ramsey Noah

"Of course we are together. I love my wife and kids. People say these things to sell their papers. They know that bad news sells. But let people understand this, no bad news follows me. I treat every bad news before it gets anywhere. I am a happily married man with a wife who's very enduring, understands my profession and appreciates me for who I am. I cherish everything about my wife and kids. They're the apple of my eyes." Ramsey Noah was quoted as saying, when asked if his marriage was still intact.

BN Exclusive: “Innovative & Fierce” – Genevieve Nnaji for MUD Cosmetics Nigeria

Now, we are excited to bring you exclusive photos and video from the MUD Cosmetics campaign featuring Gene. Genevieve flew out to Los Angeles with the MUD Nigeria team for the advertising campaign photoshoot. The plan was to capture images that would represent the essence of the MUD Nigeria Campaign – fresh and innovative! The shoot was styled by celebrity stylist, Mr. Bradshaw and shot by renowned photographer, Deverill Weekes who has shot images featuring Beyonce and other superstars.

According to co-Managing Directors of Bellezza Cosmetics and Spa (the official franchise owners and distributors of MUD in Nigeria), Chinny Onwugbenu and Onyinye Onwugbenu “It was a collaborative effort between ourselves and our parent company in LA to pull off the shoot. From coming up with the concepts to actual execution of the shots, it was a great experience, and a lot of fun for all involved! And Genny is such a trooper. She allowed herself to be totally covered up in real mud for so many hours, but still managed to take amazing shots and looked fierce while doing it.”

We love the glam shot of Gene in the colourful dress with the statement necklace (made up of MUD eyeshadow pots!), however. there is an earthy quality of the final photo of her covered in MUD. It really lets her natural beauty glow which is what MUD is all about.

You can also visit the official MUD Blog to read more about the collaboration and see another shot from the campaign – CLICK.
MUD will be rolling out a number of exciting products, promotional and training events in Nigeria over the next few months. Stay tuned to BN for more exclusive information and photos.

South African President Is A Unique Womanizer: A Rundown OF His Sex Scandals.

Jacob Zuma.

Its no wonder to hear that the South African president womanise, after all, most political leaders womanise with sex scandals here and these, while some still manage to keep it private. But in the case of president Zuma, he has put others in the shade. His own case makes sex scandal morally upright.
The 68 year old president is a unique womaniser. He has got skills as a womaniser to be a world-beater. I think he should be the last president to engage in such acts if it were to be a must for all presidents considering the high rate of HIV infection in South Africa. And i ask, is this the best way president Zuma can help solve the problem of high rate of HIV infection in the country?. This question brings to mind the statement he made while emphasizing on the need to create more hotels and restaurants to get more young men and women dating. Is Zuma making it open that he’s a flirt?
Zuma’s family crisis has been zeroed in on his terrible sex life. He has been facing sex scandals even before he was sworn in as SA president. His failure to using condom in extra-marital relationship has resulted into family crisis. Lets give you a quick run-down of president Zuma and wife’s sex scandals story.
In 2005, Zuma who was accused of raping an HIV positive woman claimed that he had protected himself from getting infected when he took his bath after having sex with the woman, and had not used a condom. Sounds funny!. In 2009, Zuma married two more wives (Ntuli and Madiba) and in early 2010, he impregnated another woman, his friend’s daughter named Sonono Khoza. The highly-sexed president has been married five times, but currently has three wives and two fiancées ‘Gloria Ngema’ and ‘Princess Sebentile of Swaziland’. Zuma might still have some fiancées out there which he is not ready to disclose (but will later do as he impregnate them).
The 68 year old president has more than 21 children and all his wives and fiancées are in their thirties. Zuma was once accused of raping his friend’s daughter. Recently, Zuma’s second wife, Ntuli popularly known as Mantuli was accused of been impregnated by her ex-private bodyguard who had committed suicide after the scandal was revealed.
Zuma is really disturbed by the incident that he had to call for a serious family meeting. Zuma’s family are not taking it likely with Mantuli as different letters have been submitted to the media accusing Mantuli of carrying her late bodyguard’s baby. Mantuli who is still battling with a married actor who had claimed to have had a child with Mantuli is not living with the president as she lives in durban. Its now a case of “like husband(zuma), like wife(mantuli)”.
South Africa is known for her high number of HIV victims as the country produces more than 300,000 victims of HIV every year. Could one say President Zuma’s case explains why S.A. produces such a high number. Zuma’s sex life is one of a kind. As Kerry Cullinan will say “HIV prevention is getting people to change their sexual habits”. But Zuma, the influential and notable figure who is capable of effecting the change is not by any means working towards it. He is rather selling himself short among young women. You should wonder if Zuma has ever been sex-starved by his wives, which might be an excuse for his extra-marital relationship but Then if that is assumed, then what of his failure to using condom during sex.
Overall, President Zuma needs caution and he needs to make use of his discretion. Hopefully, the family crisis resulting from the untimely scandal knock sense into president Zuma, make him regain consciousness and get out of the wood.

DeJa Vu Night With Andre Blaze, Wizkid and Kas – Free Entry For All.

DEja Vu.
