DO SOMETHING... 1

 Take full responsibility for your life. I bet you have heard that times over but are you really doing that? This includes taking responsibility for your choice, decisions and actions. Quit blaming others, somebody else or something for whatever it is. You really should grow up, face it and get over yourself. Taking responsibility involves doing something, not sitting down there and doing nothing.

Quit feeling sorry for yourself, it is your life, in case you forgot that, you have that responsibility to yourself to get yourself living.

Yeah, do something. Even if you say, Margaret, i want to do something about how am feeling, where I am in life but how do i begin? No matter how crossed your roads are, you can begin by;

-          Saying a simple prayer to God, tell Him how you feel and ask Him to help you. That is somewhere to start.

-          You can also re-evaluate your life, your plans and think through. THINK! It is not extinct yet (as my brother BJ once said), which means, it is okay to think things through starting NOW.

-          Quitting a life of complaining: whining about everything and getting worked up over things you cannot do anything about. Do not waste your time complaining to people who cannot help you, that is what most of us do.

-          Accepting yourself just as you are. Tell yourself the truth and admit your weaknesses but don’t let it weigh you down.

-          Face what isn’t working in your life and deal with it. Stop making excuses about them, whatever they are and decide that you want to move on.

-          Get on with the right people, people who light your fire and drive you towards positive movement in your life.

These are ways you can begin or do something about whatever it is, you want to do something about. People can talk all day about their plans. These people are everywhere; sometimes it is you and me. We find them as parents, siblings, bosses, politicians, colleagues: they are everywhere but the funny part is Talk is cheap. The queue for “talking” is so long but more people are still joining it, while the one for doing is very short. People wish to join; they really really want to join the “doing” line, they even pray to join but they never do anything about it. It is so hard for people to cross from the talking to the doing line. I hear it is so hard to do, yeah! Joining the doing line but i also hear it is possible. Perhaps, we should strive and hold unto the possibility. Success people are action oriented and it is the difference between excellence and average. ACTION!

MY TARA FELA-DUROTOYE EXPERIENCE!

 I have heard so much about MRS FELA-DUROTOYE and sometimes it’s hard to understand that hype that goes with it. Since I have never met her in person, I really could explain what makes her that person that inspires people, besides, I am not so much of a make up person……but that all changed after my experience at FATE FOUNDATION Women’s seminar on the 8^th of March, 2012. She walks her talk and she represents the make believe of the benefit of being an Entrepreneur. She is the type of woman you can go on listening to and feel inspired. House of Tara is brand but beyond all that, Tara is an epitome of hard work and a testimony to the fact that you can do what you love successfully.

I want to be my own boss and that drives me everyday. That is where the future lies. The road is not easy, it is not for the faint hearted and it is not one short trip. You must be ready to go the extra mile, learn from your failure and get better. You must focus! I was truly inspired yesterday and felt that oomph to keep going. Big thanks to FATE FOUNDATION…that experience will always be a plus! I would do it all over again.

OCTAVIA SPENCER.....INSPIRATION!

 This is no longer news..but i am really happy for Octavia...she inspires me.... Just to say Congrats once again! It goes to say...anything is possible, Keep the faith! I love that dress....

OPRAH WINFREY Vs ANGELINA JOLIE: what's the big deal?

 I really donot understand what the big deal really is..... that Oprah Winfrey recycled a gown and that stuff about Angelina Jolie's right leg....I find them funny and over the top. what do you know?
The type of things that make headlines....strange! Maybe, i just don't get it. Is there any rule that says people shouldn't repeat clothes and how a person's leg can be so huge that the whole person.
No doubt both women look stunning....or maybe, was it how Jolie posed with that leg? was she trying so hard? whatever!

THIEF IN GOVERNMENT HOUSE - JAMES IBORI

It is major headline now that James Ibori pleads guilty but the point here is how will this change the face of corruption in Nigeria?  The corruption in Nigeria is beyond words, it has eaten deep into the fabrics and the foundation of our society....it is without shame and remorse. There are worse cases than his, just that they have not been caught. It is a shame how priviledge and power can corrupt.....how messed up a man's life can be. Even those who are more curropt than Ibori will begin to preach now but the average Nigerian knows better.
Ibori  and his accomplices are the newest scape goats but they used to be sacred cows as many still remains. Ibori is without those his friends now and i bet he never imagined he'll end up this way.....but that is life! You carry your cross and your shame: it is always personal.  I am tempted to believe it is because it was in a UK court, things may have gone otherwise in Nigeria, you know how magic happens here,it could just vanish. It is good news but just a drop of water in the ocean....the same man who couldd have been the next Nigerian President....that tells the type of politics that happens here...but i remain hopeful that things will get better....

IT'S A BOY......CONGRATS TO THE GOGE AFRICA FAMILY

BIG CONGRATS  to The GOGE AFRICA FAMILY, Isaac and Nneka Moses...after 13 years....it all turns up as a baby boy!

EPIC FINAL IT WAS......NOVAK AND NADAL!

I watched Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic play that epic final on Sunday 29^th January, 2012…..believe every word; an epic final it was, the greatest ever grand slam finals. How on earth does anyone go on for 5hours and 53 minutes? That would be 7 minutes short of 6hours.

It was just the best game in a long time. The stamina and the endurance it takes to get on with that game was just out of this world. For some minutes, I thought Nadal was coming back and when Novak collapsed with his racket falling off his hands, it was easy to say that Nadal was going to have this one but then Novak got back into the game. It was just like they were going to be at it forever, lone moment someone was high up there, the next minute, he is overtaken, what do you know? The adrenalin was so high and you have to respect these players…..little wonder they are number one and two on the world ranking.I am beginning to reconsider my love for soccer.  After I watched that Tennis final yesterday, I fell in love with tennis all over again…..My team in the  Barclays premiership are not just into the vibe this season, Manchester City football Club just annoyingly sit top of the table but as much I hate their guts, they are good and if they win, they deserve it. I guess it is not the season for us at United; we may have to wait another season…….what do you know? The tides can change, United have class and City our neighbours know that…we’ll just have to wait.

Congrats to Novak and Nadal; the winner knows how hard it was to hold on and I salute their courage, endurance and skill. They should be having a long rest right now! it was nothing short of amazing and I was beginning to wonder if we were going to wait a whole 6 hours but in the end, it was worth all the time.

I could watch it over and over again.
