I'm gonna tell God everything: dying Syrian boy.

This is the picture of a three year old Syrian boy whose last sentence was 'I'm gonna tell God everything.'

Caught up in a useless and senseless war, this poor boy and other Syrians must have endured untold horrific experiences. And at the point of giving up the ghost, it has been reported that his last sentence was that he was going to tell God everything.

You can imagine a three year old, ravaged by hunger, ill-health, pains, seeing death, blood and wounded people everyday, seeing chaos, bombs dropping, suicide killings everything! And at the point his own life was ebbing away, he made it clear to whoever cared to listen, that he was going to tell it all to God!

This is haunting and heartbreaking and the perpetrators of the stupid war can be assured this little angel has taken his case to the supreme court, so they should await their judgement!

Meanwhile, little angel, continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord where they can never ever torture you again, and you will never have to endure what you endured in your short life on earth. Enjoy his peace, his love and his care for eternity.

Nollywood actor Joseph Benjamin talks about his life.

Nollywood actor Joseph Benjamin covers the April/May 2014 issue, of RB – Reading Bridges Magazine and tells us some stuff about his life. In the issue, he talks about rumours, wedding bells and his music career.

On selecting the right roles: “For me I carefully select my movie roles and would not play a role that does not meet a certain criteria. I am very discreet and professional; it’s really not about the number of movies but the quality is all that matters to me. This decision I took long ago before I came into the industry. I asked myself what I will be doing differently because I dont want to just follow suit and do things the usual way….I always look out for key things that will put me in a good light and will be challenging to me as a professional, most importantly the mileage, even if the financial compensation is not much.”

A church of Beyism, that is the religion of the followers of Beyonce, has officially opened in Atlanta, Georgia.

The religion was created by a group of 12 friends in Atlanta, including Minister Diva Pauline John Andrews. They regularly gathered each Sunday to sing Beyonce’s songs, and decided to form Beyism while smoking marijuana one day.

“We are very disappointed in the failure of the public to recognize the existence of a divine Deity walking among them,” Andrews stated. “We ask that you consider what is more real: an invisible spirit on high, or a walking, talking, breathing Goddess who shows you her true form daily?”

Beyists argue that Beyonce was sent to Earth to spread love, peace and joy. They don’t believe that the pop star is the Creator, but argue that she sits among the “throne of Gods”.

The church has published its own version of the Bible, known as the Beyble, which will soon be available free to the public. The congregation also hopes to build a temple and further expand its reach outside the Atlanta area.

According to the church, Beyists exist throughout the United States, Canada and England.

**Indeed!

Speaking at the Nigerian Entertainment Conference last week, Nollywood actress and singer Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde told the audience that people should count her out of those who hobnobbed with government either for business or for pleasure.

She said “Somebody on a blog a few days ago wrote that there are Nollywood personalities who are friends with politicians, sharing the national cake together. I, Omotola, have never campaigned or partied with any government, so don’t mention my name among those who do that. I have suffered enough for refusing to party with them and take ‘Ghana Must Go’ back home, so don’t let me suffer more.”

“If, as an entertainer, you want to be friends with politicians, do so without aligning your brand with whatever the politicians stand for”.

**Good advice.

Eternal bachelor George Clooney is finally ready to quit the Bachelors club.He is reported to be engaged to Amal Alamuddin, a glamorous British humanitarian lawyer.

I'm an actress. I am the firstborn from a family of eight. I am from Gwari, Kuje Area Council, in Abuja. I was born in Jerusalem, but I was brought up in Bida town, Niger State. I attended the University of Abuja where I studied Economics, but I had my OND in Business Admin at Federal Polytechnic, Bida. Growing up, things were difficult for me because I had this belief that flashy things were sinful until I realised that everything was created by God for us to profit from.

As an actress, can you act nudé?
I'd go any length to act nudé, as long as it goes with my terms. It would be between me and my employer.

The craziest stunt you ever pulled?
That would be showing off my breast in a restaurant. It was a bet of truth and dare...

Enjoy the song and the lyrics below.

"Morning Sun"

How do you rate the morning sun?
After a long and sleepless night
How many stars would you give to the moon
Do you see those stars from where you are?
Shine on the lost and loneliest
The ones who can't get over it

You always wanted more than life
But now you don't have the appetite
In a message to the troubador
The world don't love you anymore
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

Stuck inside the rainbow years
And you could happen to me
'Cause I've been close to where you are
I drove to places you have seen
It all seems so familiar
Like they'd been sent to kill ya

It doesn't take an astronaut
To float in the space is just a thought
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

And the village drunk
Sadly passed away
It was a shame
I never knew his name
I wonder if he sat there every morning
And watched the sun rise

How do you rate the morning sun?
It was just too heavy for me
And all I wanted was the world
If you are the starlet in the sun
Don't go wasting your time
'Cause there is no finish line

And you don't see anything
Not even love, not anything
The night can take the man from you
A sense of wonder overdue
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Who am I to rate the morning sun?

Sir Alex Ferguson is really upset at the way Manchester United handled the sack of David Moyes. Ferguson had hand-picked Moyes as his replacement at the end of his 26 year reign as manager at Old Trafford. He admitted it was wrong that the news leaked out before Moyes was officially told of his fate by United chief executive Edward Woodward.

Speaking at a charity lunch in Manchester on Thursday, Ferguson is quoted as saying : "It's upsetting the way it came out." Moyes learned of his imminent sacking when the story broke on Monday afternoon — 16 hours before he was officially informed by the club.

Ferguson is clearly regretting that he was responsible for luring Moyes to Old Trafford from Everton, where he had enjoyed 11 successful years before the disastrous 10 months at Manchester United.

**Really sad situation for both men.

President Obama's late aunt to be buried in Kenya.

President Barack Obama's aunt Zeituni Onyango, who died of breast cancer on 7th April 2014, is to be buried in Kenya. Her family wants her body flown home for burial.

Mama Sarah Obama made the wish after receiving the news of her daughter’s death. In life, Ms Onyango fought hard to avoid Kenya, saying her life would be in danger if she were forced to return to her homeland.

In death, her family now wants her body returned home for its final rest. She was fighting to obtain US citizenship at the time of her death in a rehabilitation centre where she was being nursed. She had only been granted a waiver of deportation, which also allowed her to work in the United States.

A 69-year-old man who claims to be legally married to late aunt Zeituni Onyango now wants to be allowed to bury her.

Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson seems to really like Nigerian guys. Maybe there are no hot guys capable of winning her heart in Ghana!

This is because the actress, who visits Nigeria frequently for movie shoots, seems to have developed a thing for actor Alex Ekubo after a love-gone-sour affair with singer Iyanya.

Yvonne, who was in bed and in the arms of Ekubo during a movie shoot in Nigeria, took to her Instagram page and wrote, “In bed…onset…with this hotttttie @alexxekubo. Why am I still single? #secondary virgin!"

Although sources claim Yvonne and Ekubo are having a secret affair, but this may not be true.

I never said my parents were brother and sister: Harry Song.

YES Magazine reported that singer and song writer, Harrysong granted an interview to them saying that his parents were siblings and I carried the story (HERE).

Now Harrysong has said, he never granted YES Magazine an interview where he said his parents were brother and sister. Below is a press statement from his publicist.

'I have not granted any magazine an interview in the last 12 months where I spoke about my late parents so I find it worrisome, disheartening that a magazine would manufacture a story like such. It is disturbing,'

'I implore that the blogs and magazine respect the memory of my late mother and retract the story/interview. I really am busy promoting my new video for 'story',.

Harrysong has just released a video for his new single titled 'Story' .

**Terrible...now who do we believe?

Spiritual verse of the day.

There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a

witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.

Known now as Mr Songs, the “Beta Pikin” musician told Yes! Magazine, he’s an only child because his parents split after finding out they were related by blood.

“My father and mother are actually brother and sister. They gave birth to me before they could realize that,” he said.
