HOW TALENTED PEOPLE FEEL WHEN NOT KNOWN IN MUSIC WORLD INTERVIEW













HOW TALENTED PEOPLE FEEL WHEN NOT KNOWN IN MUSIC WORLD INTERVIEW


Unnoticed artiste interviewed locally at the backyard of great stars building 2018. I have brought out precious time to intervene on the private success of this unnoticed artiste named Eweke Christian Nkemakolam (stage named - Kotex, Street Lover boy and Nwa Abia) from Nigeria down east side near Abia State Uturu.

When I was interviewing him, he tried his best not to deny his personality rather he shows how trustworthy he has in himself and trust in God Almighty


Here is the interview carefully arranged for upcoming young artistesade by Batholomew Obienyi and Eweke Christian the unknown artiste: Here it comes..


Chinedu 

Why do you go into music the first time? Is it for the money, the fame, popularity, or helping the poor or just that you think you have a message to pass across the world?


Christian

Music is in our linage from my forefathers. It has been long in our blood. Then, I have a message to pass across to the world.


Chinedu

What type of message?


Christian

To inspire the poor who thought there's no other hope. There's hope for everybody because God bless everyone. My songs are inspiring by nature and I love it.


Chinedu

What do you do if others try to follow your songs pattern?


Christian

I changed it. But I will not change my intro and what I use as my logo like; I normally use - sail on and the street lover boy. It because anywhere either featuring others, if you hear it you will recognize the voice. That a secret some of the upcoming artistes do not know.


Chinedu

What are the problems you encounter and why didn't you quit?


Christian

Lots of problems. I don't know which one to talk about. Is it money to produce, family setbacks, lost of love ones and others. It's many. I remained in music because am ready to work with God who encourages me spiritually.


Chinedu

How did you believe in God?


Christian

Ha! My brother, if no be God I don't know where I for dey. Because I don't even understand what is going on in my life in the time of troubles but God who knows everything saved me and shows me the way of his enternal blessings. I don't bear grudges in mind and not been envious in other people's success because I knew it is their blessings as I have mine too.


Chinedu

But, who has really helped you out in your songs so far?


Christian

If I am to say, it is my producers. Because many atimes they are the ones who gave me much inspirations to voice and revoice without giving up on me till I make a meaningful song(s) that only bears my name. Producers are the main source of my power because without them directing me - I don't know where I for dey.


Chinedu

What could be your advice to other upcoming artistes?


Christian

They should remove enviness and jealousy and do their own thing their way.


Chinedu

Can you teach someone how to sing even if when singing is not his talent?


Christian

I can teach anybody and he becomes successful. One thing you should know is, not everybody that sings is a musician and not everybody that isn't a singer is truly not a singer. Some singers sing while some other talented self made singers don't sing. The reason is that, not everybody is called up to shine. Shining is the work of God. Because of that, even if you are not a singer I can teach you how to sing and you become perfect. But know that most songs learners stop singing after releasing either blown songs or not sellable because they are not called up singers from the beginning of their creation except by persistency of their own hearts.


Chinedu

What could stop one from becoming a singer after learning it?


Christian

Shame and unnecessary styles of stage performances and imitating others. Another one is not been concentrated on a particular type of songs or lack of self trust and or dry pocket.


Chinedu

Wow. But as the thing be now, what is your fear in the music world?


Christian

My fear? Hmmm. Well, atimes its talking about myself in crowd. I prefer singing and jarating on stage than talking only. But am working towards it's eradication.


Chinedu

How is people close to you view your life as a musician especially as a street lover boy singer? Any idea?


Christian

Yes. Always. I have little idea. Not even my close people also the publics. I noticed those who don't value me through their gossips, tricks, blind communications and unmotivated eye looks on me. Though, I don't actually know because many that I don't expect to hurt me - do hurt me while many I thought hate me sometimes show me love. So, it's by His grace I live life.


Chinedu

Well, in everything I believe you are going to help people as so many prophecy has revealed your abundances to be too numerous.


Christian

Yeah man. By God grace. You know, with God all things are possible.


Chinedu

What type of songs or music do you play?


Christian

Na wao. Hmmmmm. I love to call it hip-up-reggae or hipregg but it seems so many people don't understand it. It's a kind of combination of hip up songs and reggae and I believe they are good to those who listen to my songs everyday. That why I never give up in playing it to the world.


Chinedu

Thank you for your time.


Christian

You are welcomed.

This the end of the local interview. But it's a revelation to upcoming artistes who fear the music world because of selling of souls to the unknown claimed good people of the universe. To live is to reign I would always remind myself. It is a remarkable adage for heroes that, stars only shines in the darkness. Yes, you must pass through hard processes for an upliftment to follow.

TEN UNBELIEVABLE REASONS ROAD ACCIDENT OCCUR MOSTLY IN RURAL AREAS

 













TEN UNBELIEVABLE REASONS ROAD ACCIDENT OCCUR MOSTLY IN RURAL AREAS


There are many unnoticed reasons road accident occurs mostly in villages and developed towns. Some people relate road accident as signs of rituals by evil men or bloody suckers of the dark world or spirits that enters or operate through human being knowingly or unknownly.

Others believes that road accident can be caused by the recklessness of some rough drivers who might be under an influence. Still, when we don't know the root of a thing we don't need to tell stories that affect even the unseen world. Laying blames where there's no blame can be misleading.

Down here are the ten unbelievable reasons most road accident occurs without mercy.


Here they are in details:


1. OVER SPEED

Too much speed can cause a fatal road accident. What could cause over speeding? It could be as a result to meet up for something or just the enjoyment of over taking other vehicles without a second thought of what might happen after.

To control or prevent it, young drivers at heart should think of how precious life is, so that it could not be easily lost.


2. BREAK FAILURE OR ABSOLUTELY NO LIGHT IN THE CAR

This too can be a reason road accident occur by sudden. What could cause break failure? Well, it could be shortage of highdronic oil around some places that needed it and greasing not enough. It could also be lack of vehicle maintenances when necessary. Light is another factor that can contribute in road accident.

To stop this, properly check up on the break, light and see if they should be maintained by drivers without giving flemsy excuses.


3. BEING IN THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS OR ACHOHOLISM

Some drivers don't know their gage and because of that, they even think that being in the influence would help them drive well. But this is not true. Some even take it as pleasure to be under the influence of drugs while driving. It is not acceptable to be drunk and be on the steering because of the way innocent people who know nothing are dying out of carelessness of drunked drivers.

To stop this, drivers should always drive with passion and caution without been under the influence of too much intake of toxic liquor into the body.


4. STRESS OF THE BODY AND MIND

It is true that people over stress themselves in order to meet up with demands of their services. Due to too much stress of the body and mind at the hours of work, tasks not finished, bosses sending errands and all that's reasons many lives have been wasted.

It is advised dear, when the body and mind are weak, please rest. You can take the horse to the stream but you can't force it to drink water. Likewise, you can manage to take your body to the seat but you can't handle your mind. What is mind if not under the control of a concious man?


5. DARK SUPPER NATURAL MANIPULATIONS

Many drivers have claimed after an accident that it is a super natural manipulation on their steering. They blame God for allowing it happen on them. 

Drivers should know that their beliefs can affect their entire lives, so be intelligent both physically and spiritually to avoid costly road accident. Your inner world controls your out world. Be warned reckless drivers.


6. PHONE CALLS WHILE HANDS ARE ON THE STEERING

This particular one has damaged innocent souls who are drivers. There are drivers who have doudged all other road signs and instructions of things that can cause road accident but have fallen victim to this one - phone calls while driving.

To prevent it, avoid answering calls even if you are looking for directions while driving. Pack to a place and finish your calls for your safety and others too.


7. ROMANTIC INFLUENCE

Careless drivers do romance girls in their car while driving. They take it to be a chance to touch a lady romantically knowing fully well that some girls would close their mouth just to reach to their destination. 

Such idea is not ethical in a developed country. Save your life and help others for a true service of humanity.


8. WICKEDNESS OF THE HEART

There are some drivers who are naturally wicked and arrogant. They rather allow an accident than to give way for over taking.

Wickedness can not make one get what he wants fast nor improves on the peace of mind, please avoid arrogancy and love one another.


9. UNABLE TO CONTROL TIME

Time has been another serious factor road fatal accident happens. Due to rush and hurry to meet up with a sheduelled appointment many have fallen victim. There have been people who are in a hurry to meet up with flight ticket and finally did not meet up due to unprepared time concious. 

Stop been in a hurry to go to a place either with your car or legs. Always prepare in the mind before setting up the moves.


10. BAD ROAD

The last but not the least is bad road.  Bad road has contributed much of the accident in the process of traveling long distances. Another point is errossion, gallops and unnoticed damaged bridges on the way. But in all, road accident occurs when it is not expected.

It happens mostly to drivers who are under influence, wickedness of heart, romantic engagement, phone calling while driving, stress of the body or mind, break failure, tire damage, time run out and sometimes from  super naturally dark manipulations.

Road accident no matter what the cause may be, can be prevented through carefulness of the drivers, thoroughly checking car up before taking off and avoiding all other road  signs not observed. Prayer can still stop unwanted and unprepared accident. As the Bible told us to pray without season. Road accident is one of the biggest reason why we should pray without season because of our dear precious gift of life.

HOW I HAVE COME TO KNOW THE SECRET by Rhonda Bryne

 











HOW I HAVE COME TO KNOW THE SECRET by Rhonda Bryne

The secret is working! The secret is the law of attraction. The law says; whatever you think about and talk about you will bring into your experience. Likes attract likes.


The story you are about to read now is an experiment I have done the moment I realized there was a secret on how to live the lifestyle you want on the face of the universe. The other phase looks like saying; earth has a principle to live in it.

I started browsing about the secret around 2012 with my small Nokia phone having no idea that there was a book called the secret. I just dive in with my mind, pressing the buttons until the word - the secret came to my mind and I decided to try it. Today, I'm telling a story about the secret knowledge I discovered myself. Read my experience.

I understood that my thoughts are very important when it comes to worldly and spiritual achievement.

I have a friend who is a copper member from Yoroba land. I have told Abel about the secret movie even as I have not watched it. I told him to download it for me that I would pay him. 

Sometimes, our lack of knowledge can greatly limit us.

I know the law of attraction to be; likes attract likes and focusing on what one really want.

The first amazing thing that happened in my life as a result of reading the secret online is my laptop. I was a village public call boy around 2009. I have only but small phones, table and cards for selling. I needed laptop to expand my business and increase in the services I rendered to the public because they needed it. 

As God may have it,  I have another friend Chukwuemeka popularly known as Niger in the village who travelled to abroad few years after knowing him. He suddenly came back from Canada and sold me a fresh fairly used laptop at a lower price. I would say, he nearly dashed me the laptop. Because of the laptop, I struggled and  bought a new office printer named 'three in one coloured printer' I got them because I have thought it and visualized them. I wished to grow, to offer more services. 

One thing am doing that I don't know it counts is gratitude. I was very grateful to any single thing that happens to me and for me. When one buy's from me I would say; thank you. When I exchanged anything from anyone I wouldn't fell to say; thank you. I was full of gratitude without knowing that gratitude is one of the secret Rhonda Bryne taught about. Because when you are grateful to what you have and have gained more good things will happen to you.

Remember, I have read the secret online though not all the pages and I have keep practicing it even as I have no idea of the power I was summoning when I thought and visualize in my thoughts. I was expanding in my thoughts so are the thoughts happening in my life as a daily experiences.

On 14th of December 2014, I went to a seminar at Owerre conference hall hosted by Jeffter Akaehie a motivational speaker and writter. I have no idea of their raffle tickets selling. I just reluctantly stood up from my feet and asked someone what's happening outside the hall. He told me, it's a try your luck ticket game. I decided to participate. I don't even know what I can get from it. I just went to buy an mtn simcard of #400 to enroll. I bought it because I even needed more simcards in my business despite that I have little money left with me. I was even arguing with them to remove small money for me. The only action I took  without knowing the effect is , I was so grateful and laughing and playing with the MTN sellers as I bargain.

Atlast, I went back to my seat. Within some hours of motivations by the speakers, it came as a rumour that the mtn sponsors of the Rise Network want to go. So, they have to offer what they have for the raffle tickets collection. And the moment matched with refreshment time.  The shaking of raffle bucket has started as many phone numbers were rapped in small pieces. As I got my own snarce, I ate it fast before everyone as if I knew something is about to happen. I was happy inside that's what I could noticed within me. What's my happiness, I don't know. All I knew was, something amazing wants to happen.

As the basket was shakes many times, someone needs to pick and whosoever she picks become the winner. So the unknown person picks a rapped number and opened it, hmm, guess what; it's my phone number. 

Many was looking around to see the poor me as I jumped up of my seat. At first, I don't know what they have for the winner. Besides, it was my first experience as a winner in public. I came out to shake the very rich man of MTN Nigeria representative as a new sealed 2000 modern window laptop was handed over to me. I was amazed.

I was celebrated like a celebrity as many people came out to shake hands with me. When they asked me to express my feelings, I wanted to share how it has happened but I was afraid. So I just thanked God and the sponsors of the program.

So, by this time in my life I was becoming more aware of my thoughts. I kept imagining, could this be a sign of the secret that I have used without knowing it? Many people at the event said somethings to my hearing that I used juju to get it. But they were wrong. I used what I know to get it. I knew the secret to be 'the law of attraction'. 

Now that I have gotten a new laptop, I know my desires has not finished. I took another step on how to get the books named; 'The Secret' and 'the power' written by one author Rhonda Bryne from Australia.

As I went home, I downloaded the secret in audio because it was offered for free. I tried to get the movie itself and found out that it need some dollars in your account. I downloaded the book and its related.

In 2015, I started looking for the secret book from book sellers in different parts of the States in Nigeria though it was only in Eastern region both the book and the movie.  It was not easy as I focused more of my energy in getting them because I knew it, I will get them one day.

One day, it came out that I would attend another seminar hosted by Emeke Nobis the author of  ' The Profound Life' at Enugu. The venue tends to be in book shop. I gat to know some people and know the book seller too.

As we relaxed and make some connections, I asked the seller about the book and the movie. Actually he did not have them but promised to get them for me, so we exchange contacts. It is then after other hustlings I gotthe secret and the power books. He could not get the secret movie for me. I thanked him for the ones he helped me reached my hands.

So, I keep on searching for the movie. Remember, I was focusing and talking about it to people I felt could help get it. 

On November 2015, I requested the movie from a close friend named Abel in form of asking him to get it for me using his phone after I have told him much of the secret I have learned. I encouraged him to read the books, watch the movie and learn from them.

On 15th of March, 2016, Abel came to my shop earlier in the morning while I was listening from the secret audio with my laptop. He can hear it because I left the speaker high open. He said; hmm, you and 'the secret'. My reply to him; I think I told you to download it for me that I would pay for the cost. Only that time he told me that he has it in his phone. And said, he got it since that November I asked him to download it. I was happy and eager to demand it quickly from him. He happily sent it to my laptop. That's how I got "the secret movie" I have been looking for years

Finally, I got what I was thinking and talking about most of the time. I believe that this movie would change my life in a great way because I'm already gaining from the knowledge.

" I agree within me that for many of my thoughts to manifest, it requires patience and sure it would come" - Batholomew Obienyi.

That's how I have gotten the books am still enjoying reading up to date. Thank you once more Rhonda Bryne for such a great gifts to humanity. Never will I play with your words. Ndewo in my own dialect. Thank you.

SIX REASONS UTURU GBUDUGBU CULTURAL FESTIVAL IS BLOODY







SIX REASONS UTURU GBUDUGBU CULTURAL FESTIVAL IS BLOODY



" IF YOUR CULTURE START HURTING YOU, KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT AT PEACE WITH YOUR ANCESTORS" - Batholomew Obienyi


Below are the very reasons different people are hurt in their culture without mercy.  Now let's use Uturu for instance. 


Must your culture hurts?


Here are the six inspired reasons the UTURU GBUDUGBU festival is bloody:



1. INABILITY TO FOLLOW ANCESTRY ORDER

In the beginning of days in Uturu land, it was Ena, the warrior King with many servants. Ena was favored, wise and righteous in the eyes of the gods and goddesses around his choosen settlement now called Uturu land. Ena carefully listened to the wise ones around him, obeyed his inner voice and followed his environmental elements and other spiritual sacrifices were performed including cleansing among his children between him and what he believes  in as his God(s). 

He finally dashed out of the world and handed over to his children the wealth within his reach especially to Uturu as the first son. This fatherly inheritances were maintained through following ancestry orders learned from the Father - Ena. Uturu grew up to became a warrior's son and fight many wars from disappointed friends and servants who turned in to be strong enemies. 

As an ordained son of the land, powers have been zooming out from the spiritual side in favour of Uturu to fight against unwanted evils that try to penetrate the land. The powers exist because orders are kept, followed and maintained. 

Many cultural activities were practiced in the olden days in Uturu as a kind of power tuzzles and merriment. It is a neglect to our forefathers that many of the orders are not followed. Even in heaven, order is the first principle.


2. MISCONCEPTION OF THE OLDEN DAYS BELIEFS

In the olden days in Uturu land, the people believes in signs and wonders from their environmental dwellings. It simply means, their beliefs is basically in the natural elements like; water-spirit, trees, snakes, stones etc, and know that the powers they use came from one big supernatural Being many called God.

A true Uturu son who is considered wise is one who follow traditions and understand the natural things or powers around him as a blessings from the Most High. Even hills, forest and other unimaginable backyards bees have purposes for  a true indigen of the land.

It is the misconception of our environmental powers that led to some if not many of our misfortunes today as Uturu people. This misconception has played a very big role in reshaping, damaging and reducing the blessings and happiness Uturians are destined to have from time in memorial of God's existence.


3. DRUGS EXPOSURE AT THE EARLIER STAGE

In Uturu land today, though hard drugs cannot be the core reason but as a part Uturu Ggbudugbu cultural festival maybe bloody. Nawadays, drugs intake are exposed to little children during gbudugbu festival as part of the culture in an open eye before the people. 

It is not like that in the olden days celebration of gbudugbu masquerades. This too, can be traced back as a sign of not obeying rules and procedures of doing things we learned from our forefathers who would be dead by now. 

As before, little children only observed, followed up, watche and sang songs for masquerades as they dance, bless people and earn money for their beautiful appearances under entertainment. 

It is abnormal to persuade little children to take in drugs mixtures inform of love shown to them. It is not good to use indirect way to initiate little children into dark occurt practices as if they are normal and reasonable. So many adults today are misleading little children as if we are in a competition of power among communities. This too, can make gbudugbu cultural festival to be bloody.


4. THE TYPE OF SONGS SANG

In the history book, Ena is a strong warrior and have fought and won many battles mentioned. Therefore, it could be said that Uturians inherited war songs from their forefathers. These war songs are mostly sanged during the gbudugbu cultural festival days. 

Though gbudugbu is not for war but it could be say that gbudugbu has two phases. One phase is for peace, unity, love, progress and blessings among the people. While the other phase is for war, and a show of individual strength inform of power exhibition. 

Blood or sweat, the gbudugbu cultural festival has a spirit and it's a spirit. The culture needs sacrifices. 

It is said: no pain no gain! When you are under a trap, either you distroy the trap and get out of it or you remain in the trap and surfers the pains and wounds it left you with. In a nurtshell,  stop the culture or live to experience more hurtful blood flow. Moreso, seriously start the sacrificial process as of before.


5. MONEY CONCIOUS

The culture is not met for money, rather it was for something else. It is one's work to find the meaning before perticipating in the gbudugbu cultural festival in Uturu. This too could be a reason many Christ believers don't do it.  

Many adults and unrealistic fellows thought that culture is money generated event but it is not. It is the misconception of this beautiful culture the problem not the culture itself and it could be enough reason why it can be bloody. Remember, a tooth for a tooth. Nothing goes for nothing.


6. INDIGENOUS DISCRIMINATION AMONG POLITICIANS 

In Uturu land today, people have grown in awareness mentally to know their stand either as a true bloodline of Ena or servants part of Ena. Because of this identification, there have been a kind of intelligent challenge among who is the original son among the servants since historical facts are missed with force ideology. 

It is only in politics that possession over rules truth.

Whether bloodline or not, truth cannot be hidden forever. Those Uturians who like conflicting ideas never owns enough. It is because of descrimpancy of who is a true son that many obstacles arises today in Uturu land. Many narrowed minded individuals now use gbudugbu cultural festival as a way of setting demacations among the people of Uturu in order to actualize their evil aims through cultural segregation. This too is enough to make Uturu gbudugbu cultural festival bloody. Thank you do much for reading up to this last lines. Please do leave a comment.
