Hello everyone. Top of the morning to you all...oops...its afternoon already!! It's funny how time flies; isn't it? What have I been up to today? Trust me, you really don't want to know. What have I thought about today? You really want to know that one, don't you (smile)?
I don't know about you; but a few things have happened in my life in the last 24 hours; one was learning the lesson I am about to share; and another is getting tagged "Miss Jim Iyke" because of a post I put on facebook; apparently the post is even beginning to cause controversy. You all know how much I love to speak my mind, and that exactly was what I was doing when I posted this;
"This "Jim Iyke Deliverance" thingy is getting out of hand...Seriously, who cares?? Someone decides that he wants to go and get deliverance in Synagogue?? So?? Whats the big deal? He's not the first, neither would he be the last...So ow does that now affect the whole world and the entire Nollywood family- home and abroad? Whether it was real or fake, how does that add or reduce from anyone's personal headache or salary?? Or are some people now using someone else's personal story to make themselves front page of the headlines as well since their career is at the brink of death; or they are desperately looking for a story or headline news?? Pls, abeg, stop disturbing our peace!!!! WE SERIOUSLY DON'T CARE!!!!"
It's not so unlike Dami, is it?? It's something I would say. And I was speaking the truth, from my heart. It was later that someone's comment made me know that I sounded "vexed"; and that sure did make me grin. I had no reason to sound vexed or to be angry; and I do apologize if that made anyone upset or doubt my objectiveness as to the issue. I know I can sound a bit too passionate, especially when I am downloading my feelings. Before I comment on this, let me talk about something else..or rather, someone else, OUR Boyfriend, KCee
I like Kcee. That is an undisputable fact. I am not a member of his fan club or someone who puts her head into every news or song of his; but what I have seen so far is not bad at all. I got to like the Limpopo song as a virtue of radio and the people around me; and this upbeat, fast, fun song is a song that can get anyone moving at any time if self-control is not applied. I was watching his performance with Niniola during Project Fame and he seemed like a really nice, simple, fun guy; they performed like they were friends or there was some form of cordiality between them (and you and I know how rare it is for a "star" to be able to relate well with an "ordinary person" especially in Nigeria),his disposition to the audience was nice; not to talk of the way he and "Mr Ibu" seemed to gel on Flavour's "Ada ada" video so I kind of had a new respect for him. But I noticed something about him. Most artists would introduce themselves as "your boy", but Kcee would call himself our "boyfriend".
Yeah, we love Kcee...but as much as we love him, we would be nothing but fans to him; whether he calls himself our boyfriend or not. How stupid will it be for a girl to begin walking around the streets and claiming Kcee as her boyfriend; just because he introduced himself as that. That is so Akpos-ish. What's my point? The need to seperate our public from our private life is more real than ever. The need to realize who you are on the streets and who you are in your closet is paramount. We are Kcee's public girlfriends, but we are not his "private" girlfriends; He knows that, we know that...but how come we know that, yet we refuse to pick the all-important lesson about staying in our place and knowing where we belong? How come we do not know the difference between public and private domains? I am not saying anyone should lead a double life; I am saying "Be yourself, but remember where you are". Everyone is not your friend, there are always the 60, the 12 and the 3...Jesus taught us that. There are things,jobs, occurrences, people, priorities, goals that belong to the public or outer domain; and there are the personal, those that belong to the private domain. Don't ever mix the two. People die in regret, weep and lose everything because they didn't realize these two different domains. They substituted family with work, God with fun, future with present and they lived to regret it. What happened to Jim Iyke was personal. He went for a deliverance session. He felt that there were things he had to deal with in his life and the Synagogue had the solutions. He didn't carry the whole of Nollywood with him (and that includes you, Segun Arinze and every other magazine that is trying to not let us rest with this deliverance thing), he went to deal with something within him, something in his soul. That was personal. That belonged to his Private Domain. It was NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. The only people it concerns are Nadia and his family members. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying it was Real; neither am I saying it was Fake; but I am saying, "whatever it was, it belongs to his private domain and not his public domain, and we are not supposed to dabble into that...but that's not the most important message.
The most important message is that YOU should learn how to efficiently manage those 2 important, different domains of your life without leading a double life. That's the only way we can truly be happy in every area of our lives and live a life without regrets
I HAVE SAID MY OWN!!
