Life comes in many beautiful shades!
I have graced the stage with Meryl Streep. It was a great moment in time. Here is a picture of one of our many shots together. Looking at it again, I just realised the assorted splendour of God’s blessings – from white, to yellow, to coffee, to dark – we come in different shades! Life is so beautiful because of the vibrant colours!
Love who you are because they’ll never be another you in this shade, talent, beauty and grace!

Quote of the Day!
The road to success is not straight. There is a curb called Failure, a loop called Confusion; speed bumps called Friends; red lights called Enemies; caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination; an engine called Perseverance; insurance called Faith, and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success!!
May you find what you are looking for this week!

Sunday Scripture…
“Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience Godliness; and to Godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound; they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the Knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ.”
– 2 Peter 1:4-8Have a fruitful week!

Groovy Friday!
Hiya! I’m having a super cool Friday with friends! We are chilling with movies, fun gist and some boli, peanuts and cranberry juice! Care to join? LOL!
So what will you be having tonight? Well, if you want to have exactly what I’m having then it’s easy to make. Here are tips to getting your own boli special:
Grill ripe plantain for 15 – 18 minutes. On 350 degree heat. Serve with salted peanuts.
Remember that Plantain is rich in Vitamin A, B Complex, and Potassium.

He lied about his past!
Hello Stephanie,
First I want to say how much I love your blog. You are doing something really different here. Well done! I’ll like to share my story: I have been dating this man for a while now, exactly 9 months. After 2 months he introduced me to his family; I now have a close relationship with his mum – I come around to cook her meals, help with the laundry, and lots of chores, I also buy her stuff like I would buy my own mother. Last month we did our introduction and a lot of my relatives and friends were gushing with joy for me. They said I was lucky to find a man as wonderful as my husband-to-be. But something happened only a week after the introduction ceremony. I got a text message from someone who says she is his (my fiancé) ex-wife and they have a son together. I was so shocked, my hands were shaking! I showed the text to my fiancé, and for the first time he told me that yes he has a 5 year old son! But he claimed he was never married to the woman, she is only a baby mama. I have called the woman privately several times after then, and she says she can show me pictures of their traditional wedding. She now leaves in Ghana but says to prove him wrong she’d come to Nigeria to see me and show me evidence of their marriage. I confronted my mother-in-law to be, but she said they only had an elaborate introduction but not a wedding. She shared some of the issues that made her son (my fiancé) leave the woman; claims the woman is diabolical and was going to ruin her son (my fiancé) and so on.
I’m so confused. This family tried to hide a secret that I deserved to know for all of 9 months. I don’t know if I can ever trust him and his mum again. What should I do? Who should I believe? My family members think I should turn a deaf ear to it all and marry my man, only my elder brother is sceptical about it all. Please I need your advice. – Jacinta

Re: Make Me Fabulous!
Your comments opened our eyes to the reality of what many people are going through in their relationship! I just have a few things to say concerning some of the comments we got…
Judith Okafor – I am not sure why you would stay with a man who tells you that you are not beautiful! Your spouse should be the one person that truly sees deep into your soul and appreciates you for who you are! It is very sad that you have to hear your partner say that to you! So sad!
Unachi: If your girlfriend is dating her boss, why is she flipping over the fact that you flirt with girls on facebook? Both of you might need to re-evaluate your relationship so you get the best from it.
Omolara Obafemi: please do not say your marriage is on the verge of breaking down just because your husband is super-busy at the moment. He is probably spending all this time so he can provide the necessary financial security for his family. Give him the support he needs, and continue to pray for God’s grace upon your marriage, and the strength to get by.
Sopsunky: you need to have a heart-to-heart talk with your man. He is supposed to be the primary giver of the home, so it is inappropriate for him to leave those responsibilities for you to take care of, especially as it concerns the children. If he doesn’t respond favourably, you might need the assistance of family members or clerics that he respects to intervene. All the best!
Sharon Adjoa Amnanda: if your boyfriend wants to end the relationship based on the reasons given, then please move on and away from it! It would be different if he was willing to “fight” for you, against the wishes of his parents. But since he is on their side, isn’t it wise for you to move on so you don’t get burned-out eventually?
Dafe Best: in love, the key word is – “us” not “me”. So when you say your fiancée doesn’t do things the way YOU want, it sounds a bit selfish. Find out why she is always sticking to her ways, try to empathise with her and work it out knowing she has a strong personality.
Shallyaaa: you might need to show your boyfriend how to “shower you with gifts” by doing exactly what you want for him. Let us assume he isn’t aware that romance comes with buying your loved one special gifts; the best way to teach him is to practice what you want him to learn. Buy him a nice cologne, handkerchiefs, a nice shirt…after a while he will reciprocate the gesture.
Courage: wow! Your husband sure has guts. I think at this stage you might need to get someone he respects to talk to him. And if you think you need to improve on the things he likes, please do. But I think it is wrong for him to blatantly address you like that – making it look as if cheating on you is a lesser sin.
Owen: as much as the make-me-fabulous date will be good for your man, his self-confidence is something he has to decide to build regardless of how he looks or his financial status.
Wumi: when partners act as if they are in a competition, it is the fastest way to kill romance! You should have a chat with him and address this issue. All the best!
Phew! I hope we have helped some of you with our advice; beyond the make-me-fabulous treat, we want you to be happy in your relationship!
If you have anything to add to what has been said, please leave a comment and save someone’s relationship today!
We shall reveal the short-list of those we have considered for the treat shortly (PLEASE NOTE IT IS A DIFFERENT LIST FROM THE PEOPLE WE ADVISED HERE!). Remember that eventually only ONE person (and his/her partner) will go for this special Make-Me-Fabulous experience!
Till then, keep your fingers crossed.
Love ya
xoxo
