IMELA

By -



Cute looked at his son,Jason, he was helpless. The doctors didn’t seem to have the answers and whatever they were doing didn’t seem to be working, not to mention the nurse (with the angry look) who had been acting busy. Of course all artiste activities, particularly his on-going tour of the country (which had gotten him an international invitation) had to naturally be rescheduled immediately he got wind of the hospitalization.

The +Cute Sagay I know, who would take time to dress up (as if living up to his name 'CUTE') ,he would rub white/brown powder and even lip-gloss, was in no mood to even smile nor alert enough to perceive the ‘scent’ from his body & mouth ,having stayed up without changing for 2 days (even he wouldn’t have believed the sight if I’d videoed it…lol)

Talk about the Love of a Father! Sadly though all the love he could offer seemed to do no good as he watch his son gradually slip away from earth. Tears filled his eyes, he couldn’t hide his emotion anymore (not wanting to start a competition with his wife) he went to the back of the Children’s Hospital that cold night and hot tears flowed. He reminisced the struggles growing up, his not-so-encouraging background, his condition in years not far behind feeding from hand to mouth with no hope for the future or a good woman to share the future…then he realized things had actually changed; he renewed his commitment to God and somehow (I’m amazed how) he married an awesome woman, built a career as music minister and amongst other blessings came his Handsome son,Jason.



Fresh tears of gratitude flowed down his cheeks. Right there and then the words of the song came (inspired by the Holy Spirit) ”Imela , Imela oh oh… (Translation: I’m grateful, you’ve done it…)” .

Dear Friends, it happened like a film-trick in Nollywood that while the father (Cute Sagay) was worshipping outside, Jason suddenly revived and asked his mother for food…the rest is history. Praise the Lord!



Has God done anything for you worth thanking him for? Today I invite you celebrate with my friend +Cute Sagay on his Album launch, ‘IMELA’ on the 18th of April, 2013 live on the internet. You can download his tracks soom. It will bless you and your church to have him minister live!.

For now I’d just take a break to say, ‘Thank you Jesus. Imela’.

Social Media: Good or Bad???

SOCIAL MEDIA:  Good or Bad? I escorted a friend to meet a date but at some point i was upset with him. He claimed he couldn't wait to meet her and yet while we were there (even when i left them alone) , he was spending more time pressing his phone and checking social media.  With the way we use social media today, one can’t help wondering how humans communicated before it or what we will do without it. If you agree with this thought especially the latter, then you’re probably already addicted to social media. With the development of technology over the years came the advent information technology, the internet and web 2.0 which brought about innovations in human interactions and communications like the new media and social networking (Creeber & Martin, 2009) . Now all aspects of human endeavour can be significantly influenced by social media such as politics, business, and religion. Some argue that social media has more negative influence than positive, however, it’s wor

THE BANKING HALL

...ibadan, Nigeria, 14.20hrs. The sun was shining with a vengeance that could only mean it had a misunderstanding with the clouds or some galaxial sky-mate   that fateful Friday afternoon. I managed to catch a bike eventually, only to get stuck in traffic moments later. Why? The Muslims were praying, their space wasn’t enough and then they blocked the entire market road with their mats. I was livid. Whatever happened to fundamental human rights! Blocking an entire ever-busy thoroughfare in the 21 st Century?...hmmm!        #i reserved my comments, for safety reasons# Minutes later, I was grateful to feel the cool breeze as i entered my bank with one mission, collect my ATM card & escape. The queue was discouraging but envisaged. It got to my turn (after ages on my feet) only to be told by the Customer Service Personnel (most comported i’ve ever met) that my card was being ‘Pouched’ from Lagos ...#my eyes grew bigger# ...after a cash deduction & application for its transfer

mY SuIcIdE NoTe

mY SuIcIdE nOtE The thoughts had been recurrent through the week. I imagined myself leaving a final note behind, but would I write? Other thoughts crept in… I thought to myself, “is it Normal? Is it Christian? Who can I tell of these strange thoughts? Who would understand that I can’t even a place a finger on what is really gone wrong? Is it my job, family, friends, fiends, my faith, my fate, my fears….what exactly? ” Suicide as described by kenea (a lawyer friend), is cowardice; perhaps he was right! {Thank God he  didn’t possessX-men (mutants) skills of mind reading, else I would have been found out} Some folk may think my life is a fairy tale, but then my nightmares were unending. One of my friends rightly analyzed me as 'managing perception'. If you knew me, have met me, or seen my boisterous self, bewilderment of my recent thoughts will panic you. But why would a seeming ‘perfect’ me be depressed I ask? Well, Google was a little help…depression & suicide t
