The power of a WOMAN..::::

FKK


Women are a precious gift from God
but there are some things that all men need to know.....

 Women are by far the deeper and more powerful of the two sexes.
 No matter how strong a man thinks he is,
he is like butter in the hands of a woman that he loves.


 It is only a woman that can carry a child for nine months
 and raise that child to adulthood and yet until the day that
 that woman dies only she will know the real father of that child.

 Women are more discerning than men, more calculating,
 more thoughtful, more spiritual, more loyal, more disciplined
and they can handle emotional pain and psychological torture far better than men.

 A woman can suffer trauma, deprivation, shame, sheer cruelty and beatings
 from a man and still stay with him simply for the sake of the children.
A woman can do anything and take anything for, or from, a man that she truly loves.
 A woman can be the most vicious and dangerous of all God's creatures when she is hurt and scorned and when her love is not returned.




A woman in a position of power can be a dangerous thing
because more often than not she is motivated by emotion and not reason or logic.
If wars were to be fought by women they would never end.
 The greatest weapon that the devil has in his armoury are the daughters of Jezebel and Dalilah, those beautiful yet evil seducers whose mission in life is to destroy men that are called to greatness by God.
The greatest weapon that God has in his arsenal are the daughters of Zion, those beautiful, wise, prayerful, discerning, prudent, patient, kind, loyal women who are faithful unto death and who are the enforcers and guardians of God's purpose in the lives of men.



A woman can kill a man that she has lived with all her life,
simply because he never returned her love .
 a woman can kill for or die for a man who loves her and stands by her through thick and thin.
If you are rich, pretend that you are poor to a woman and you will know her true nature. If you are poor, pretend that you are rich to a woman and you will know what she is really after.
A woman that abandons a man when he is going through difficulties is not worth taking back when those challenges have been overcome.
Beware of a woman's love, for at the slightest hurt, it can turn to hate.
Women gossip and talk, yet a woman keeps deeper secrets than any man.



When a woman says "no" she actually means "maybe"
when she says "maybe" she actually means "yes".
A woman that betrays or seeks to destroy, ridicule
or shame her husband or lover destroys and diminishes
 her own spirit and wounds her own soul; not only is she not
 worthy of being loved by any, but she is not the material for a
 man of destiny, she is not of the stuff that true women are made.
 A great king with a great army can overrun nations and yet can be
mastered and overwhelmed by the mere touch and whisperings of
 a loving woman. The love of Helen of Troy caused the launch of a
 thousand ships and the love of any woman can cause a man to slaughter.


 Women are a gift from God to men, but like all gifts they must be pampered,
 loved and given all your attention otherwise they begin to look elsewhere for such nourishment and care.
Out of every specie of animal ever created by God, it is always the female gender of that animal that is the most vicious and dangerous and yet it is also the female of that specie that protects and raises the offspring in loving care.



You cannot police a woman or really know her movements
for she can be the greatest deceiver: if she really wants to play,
 she will go ahead and play and no matter the efforts that her man makes,
 it is only by divine intervention that he will ever know.


A woman is moved by touch whilst a man is moved by sight.
 A woman will die for her children and guard her home with all she has.
 A woman craves for security and commitment above all else and
 without these two she cannot truly be happy.
A woman gives,
 a woman takes,
 a woman laughs
, a woman cries,
yet through all this only she alone knows what is really in her heart.


 A woman can heave and moan in the throes of orgasmic passion,
 yet deep down she feels nothing at all but pity and contempt
for the lover that she is deceiving.

A woman can lie still and say she feels nothing yet her heart trembles
 and races and her senses come alive and quiver deeply just at
the sound and by the touch of the man that she truly desires.

 That is a woman for you:
 they can be a snare or a blessing.
They can bring joy or pain.
They can wound or they can heal.
They are a beautiful contradiction of love and hate
and we men simply cannot live without them.



A woman can only appreciate a man after she has been with another.
 A woman will make you feel that you are in charge yet with sweet words
 and with guile and cunning she silently controls everything and everyone
 around you.


Women are the shield, the defender and the foundation of the home.
Even as the man is the head, the woman is the neck without which it would fall.
 The greatest mistake that any man could ever make is to underestimate
 or treat with levity the power of a woman.
 For it is only a dullard or a fool that could honestly believe that he can confine a woman to having babies and to simply cooking in the kitchen.


 A woman is irrepressable,
 unbeatable,
unfathomable,
irresistable and unknowable and my advice to every man is to cherish her,
 to love her and to grant her, her hearts deepest desires.
That is the secret to a woman's heart and what more is there to say,
other than for us to admit that the woman is the true hero of our lives
and to simply agree that we must appease and worship them and do all we can to keep those pretty smiles on their beautiful yet dangerous faces.

the LAGOS STATE carnival in pictures.

this carnival took place in the first weekend in april 2010.
i dont know what this carnival represents but if you ask me i would say its kinda dry and lacks the glamour and class that is associated with the calabar december carnival started by ex governor donald duke.
maybe if theres a follow up next year,we might have cause to applaud it.




BURSTED and disgusted but the groove is back!

what do i say?

many apologies to my fellow olofofos who came on the old blog to read but couldnt find it...what happened was that i abused blogger rules by doing a story(call it stepping on some 'big toes')and someone reported my blog for abuse and the rest is history.

i am back,better than before and i will do what i know how to do best...yes gossip is like networking for me and i am back to do just that!.


any who feels abused should just do what they think is right,report me again and i will re-surface...you cant suffocate a good groove,especially when the music is good and danceable!

welcome to the new groove
dance with me,its called net-'werking'

actress BIMBO AKINTOLA ejected from commodore suites in abuja.

actress bimbo akintola is the news!

.according to what is being whispered around wuse 2 in abuja.

''bimbo and some people came into the hotel and booked to stay for four days to attend a programme.she was fond of wearing see through nightie outside of her room.she was also quoted to have asked for water in a bucket when there was a bath in the room and she also kept smoking as if her life depended on .the very pretty,very articulate actress was ejected forcefully from the hotel by the owner.because she turned her room into a come and do for free zone.
''she would come and sit in the lobby while her friends went to 'cool off steam' in her room.




it got out of hand and she was shown the door but bimbo resisted being thrown out and even her colleague segun arinze was there pleaded on her behalf but she was very unrepentant and even the Cctvs captured the action.''

it was indeed a show of shame''.

i am sure there is a resonable explanation for the actress' actions,however being a celebrity,a role model to the young ones,bimbo owes us the responsibility of comporting herself well in public!!.

our forefathers book tells us that''Water may cover the footprints on the ground but it does not cover a well articulated farth''.

GOD STILL PERFORMS MIRACLES:ASK ACTRESS UCHE EVELYN IWUJI!

Heres the gist
her facebook status on march 30,2010 says
''oh my God,i am engaged!!!''

now let me take you back




warring nollywood female producers:guess who they are!

There’s a silent war that is being waged behind the shine and glitter that is Nollywood right now and it is between two female producers in the industry… One is an award-winning, trail blazer that has been in the industry from inception and the other is an up and coming, ‘money-miss-road’ producer that thinks money is the answer to all things. Lets call them by their nicknames; ‘Award-winning’ and ‘Money-Miss-Road’! ....lol




It all started when ‘Money-Miss-Road’ approached ‘Award-winning’ that she wanted to produce a film but didn’t know how to go about it. “Award-wining’ assisted her to do this and though her film made lukewarm impact in the industry, she continued to produce films with Award-wining from time to time and the two became friends.



Some years later Award-winning decided to float a film marketing company when licenses came out. ‘Money Miss’ got wind of this and the two decided to partner and market films together.
Not a bad idea except that ‘Money-Miss’ had a singular ambition; to be the foremost female producer in Nigeria by all means and at all costs… not a bad ambition but the problem is there are other hot, badass, female producers out there that through sheer hardwork, brilliance and talent , have continued to shine and wow audiences over, much to her chagrin. A firm believer of the saying, ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer’, Money-miss decided to come close to Award winning to study her winning formula, use money to make hers 10 times better and dump her when she is through!



She then wormed her way into the good graces of Award-winning acting as a friend and a confidante and before anyone could say ‘Jack Robinson’, the two were seen all over town together and doing everything together. Award-Winning’s old friends did not know what to make out of this new-found friendship and told Award-winning to be careful.


Some who knew Money-Miss from way back before she came into her ‘sudden wealth’ knew her as a very wicked, vindictive, person who would stop at nothing to get anything but all advice fell on deaf ears as Award-winning felt her friends were just being over-suspicious and over-protective.

Before long, Money-Miss began to put her game plan into action. She did this by systematically poisoning the mind of Award-wining about several of her friends in the industry.


She said her friends were cheating her, using her and did not want her progress and other unfounded lies. Before long, Award winning began to have second thoughts about many of her friends in the industry and even accused a popular male star actor about this.



The Male actor suspected a rat and wondered where all this was coming from? He knew Award-winning was not like that naturally and he tried to make her see reason but all fell on deaf ears.

Money-Miss then put plan B into gear; ‘To study Award-wining’s formula, enter and dominate before dumping Award-winning after getting what she wants’. She would ask Award-winning to write a script for her and now matter what she writes she would change things in the script so that her name can be added as script writer! Meanwhile these ‘changes’ usually end up spoiling the script!



She would also find out which film Award-winning is shooting next, when she knows the story line and the cast list, she will quickly run and organize to do her own movie using the same or similar cast and story line! For example, when both wanted to shoot their films, Money-Miss who usually uses a certain star actress from Ondo state, quickly switched to use an certain star actress from Mbaise as well a light skinned actor from Ghana because she learnt that was what Award winning was planning to do!



She also stole ideas in the film, making Award- wining not use them in her film! Because an American-based director had called and offered to come and shoot a film with Award-winning, Money Miss quickly jetted to the U.S to shop for one too and ended up bringing one back with her which she used to shoot her movie that has been ‘silently causing scandals around the place’.



that apart, Award-winning noticed some other traits in Money Miss. If they go out together, once they are discussing and Award-winning mentions her name, people go into a frenzy, screaming that they had finally met the brilliant person behind all those productions. Meanwhile the look on Money-Miss’ face can fry egg! She would then be cold and angry, making Award-Winning feel bad. Please my people tell me?



Person wey just start yesterday wey no be household name how you go vex with person wey dey there several years before you, wey don pay her dues? Just because she came into ‘sudden wealth’ Money-Miss no want make person drink water again? She wants people to be worshipping her because of her newly ‘aqcuired’ wealth! Please my people, how is that possible? After another particularly nasty incident, Award-wining decided to pull out finally from the business and go on her own; Money-Miss was livid! Because she was not yet through using her. All entreaties to make Award winning come back failed so Money-Miss has now made her a sworn enemy! Any enquiries or information about Award-winning’s films are ignored and rebuffed! Any efforts to greet her in public are also rebuffed… to which many laugh.



Pray, can an elephant feel the rantings an ant on its back?



Advice to the two warring producers;

Please, the sky is big enough for every one. There is enough room at the top for all… and the consumers will be happier for that.



CAN YOU GUESS WHO THEY ARE
