Count your blessings
2012 ending:
The year is ending and all we could do is to give thanks to God Almighty for seeing us through. Have you anything to complain about then I give you a reason to be thankful.
Just like the saying that a man is complaining about not having a shoe till he met someone without a leg.
You are wealthy than you think, financial wealth can't compare to health wealth.
The fact that you are able to read through this thus far indicate your sight is perfect.
Understanding what you are reading indicate you are neurological intact.
The ability to talk, think, smile, hear and walk is a gift many are desperate to possess.
What is that thing that weigh your spirit down? Its all the matter of perspective, if you have the ability to view your situation differently you will realize how blessed you are.
If you don't have something to be thankful for, let me give you some examples
In 2012, you've traveled via the air, the road, the sea, the rain and yet you are here, many engaged on similar trip but end up in tragedy, count your blessings
During this year, many slept but wasn't opportune to wake up, The same thing you did more than 400 times this year and you still here, count your blessings
You complaining of hunger, you complaining of not having enough to eat... Many can't feel hunger, many can't taste food anymore, many are fed through a feeding tube, many can't tolerate food in their stomach... Count your blessings
You are single and it breaks your heart, imagine many people like you in abusive relationships, abusive marriages....count your blessings
You are alive but financially handicapped, so what? There are some things money can't buy. You are not six feet underground, you not in the morgue, you not in prison, you not fighting a terminal illness, you not on life support, you pee when you want, you poop when you want... Count your blessings
There is nothing holding you back to appreciate God for who he is, appreciate his blessings in your life.
Thank You

The Truth About Eggs And Diet
The Truth About Eggs And Diet
Eggs are quite possibly the world's perfect protein source. The six grams of protein in each egg has the highest biological value -- a measure of how well it supports your body's protein needs -- of any food, including beef. The yolks contain vitamin B12, deficiencies of which can cause attention, mood, and thinking problems.
Depending on where you're getting your eggs, though, you could be getting a lot more of stuff you don't want. First you'll get some arsenic, added to feed to promote growth in hens but linked to various forms of cancer in people, and an extra dose of antibiotics, also used to promote growth but linked to antibiotic resistance and even obesity in people. Then add a heaping helping of salmonella. A 2010 study published in the journal Veterinary Record found that the eggs from hens confined to cages, as they often are in factory farms, had 7.77-times greater odds of harboring salmonella bacteria than eggs from non-caged hens.

Happy Married Life
Marriage:
I think it takes a patient man and woman to make marriages to work. There are thousands of things that could cause a failed marriage. Just like it takes a special man to marry a woman with kids and love the children like they are his. Same goes to a woman that does same.
Same goes to a man who married a woman pregnant with another mans baby.
Just like I have seen my share of successful marriages, same for failed marriages. Many are abused, beaten, enslaved, brainwashed and emotionally attacked in their marriages.
Many marriages are facade of what's not real, they smile and acted sweet and happy in public but while in fact, behind closed doors, its all heartache and regrets.
Wishing all who are strong enough to head into the institution a happy married life...

Funke Akindele marriage dilemma: Lagos State to withdraw support, fans and friends query her choice
According to what First Weekly Magazine reported, the wedding plans of Sultry Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele to Oshodi, Lagos big boy and property merchant, Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof on May 26, 2012 is being threatened by controversies, First Weekly Magazine reveal.
While the prominent actress is said to be making an elaborate plans for the wedding, sources have said that she has lost her rating as a well-loved Nollywood actress with her proposed engagement to a man, who is alleged to be one of the boys in Oshodi, Lagos before hitting it big in property business.
Moreover, Kenny Doo, as Almaroof is fondly called in his base in Oshodi, is said to be married to a beautiful lady called Detoun, who has a popular fabric shop in Oshodi and who has four kids for him. Our source told us that Al-Mahroof’s marriage to Detoun has always been crisis-ridden as the couple fight almost on a daily basis.
The source even told us that about two other women have children for Al-Mahroof.
“What do you expect; he is a big boy and ladies flock around him. I know that two other women have children for him apart from his wife that bore him four children,” the source said.
When we asked if the couple is still living together, the source answered in the affirmative, “yes, they are still married, but it’s not a sweet marriage. They fight every time.”
But one of Funke Akindele’s close friends said that Kenny Al-Mahroof is divorced.
“They started dating about a year ago and Funke did not meet any woman in his home. He told Funke that he was married before, but has divorced his wife. And, what is wrong in marrying a divorcee?
As far as I’m concerned, Al-Mahroof is single because he is divorced. What we should do is pray for them and wish them the best,” Funke’s friend told us.
Meanwhile, findings revealed that Al-Mahroof is a rich young guy, who started making money for himself when his mother was the Iyaloja (market leader) of Oshodi. Kenny’s mum, Alhaja Al-Mahroof, according to sources, once reined as the second in command to Alhaja Abibat Mogaji, the Iyaloja General of Lagos and mother of ACN National Leader, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Those in the know told First Weekly that Funke, nicknamed Jenifa, based on her role in her celebrated movie; ‘Jenifa,’ was not aware of the full marital status of Kenny Doo before she agreed to walk down the aisle with him, and that even after the truth was exposed, she has refused to change her stand.
Almaroof was said to have been parts of the boys, who used to forment trouble in Oshodi in those days, but has now climbed up the ladder with his success in property business.
The source said a fight later ensued between Alhaja Al-Mahroof and Alhaja Mogaji which made the former defect to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State.
We learnt that was why Alhaja Al-Mahroof always sponsored his son, Kenny Al-Mahroof to contest elections in Oshodi under the banner of the PDP.
Kenny contested the 2007, House of Representatives election to represent Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency under the PDP but lost.
He also served as the Personal Assistant to a former Minister of Works.Kenny Doo, our sources revealed, now shuttles between Nigeria and London for his property business and lives in a modest mansion in Magodo area of Lagos.
It was gathered that another source of trouble for Funke is the fact that the Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), whose government has been supporting Funke Akindele’s movies through advert patronage and which uses her as a model for its programmes through the State Inland Revenue Board, may be angry at her choice of Almaroof, a PDP member, as husband.
Meanwhile, some of the fans of the successful actress have come hard on her for planning to settle down with another woman’s husband, and for picking a semi-literate as hubby, when she has a choice of getting a single man, who would match her academic qualification.
The dark-skinned diva was said to have bust into tears, when she was confronted by close associates, who condemned her for damning the consequences of her marriage to Almaroof, when she has several choices.
Her reason for weeping, we were told, is because she felt that she has waited enough and that now that she met someone who would take her as wife and make her happy, people do not seem to rejoice, but rather have chosen to condemn her.
Many of her critics wondered why on earth she would agree to be a second wife, they also asked why would Funke, with the level of her exposure and education as a University of Lagos law graduate, settle for a man, who is barely educated and who has four kids from another woman already.
They believe that Funke should have gone for a quiet and low key single man as husband.
