Sharon Ezeamaka Speaks On Her Life As A Feminist

#mynameiskay

Sharon Ezeamaka believes in an interview with Ikenna Obioha of The Sun, Sharon speaks on her ideals as a feminism and growing up without her father.
She said,
On Feminism
I’m a feminist! Let’s start from there. I don’t joke with that part of my life. I’m a feminist. I’ve been a feminist since before it became a ‘thing’. I’ve always been a feminist.
For me, whenever someone says, ‘you are a feminist?’ I’m like, ‘have you gone to the dictionary to know what that word means?’ It just basically means someone who believes that men and women should have equal opportunities; economically, socially and in every area of their lives, and I don’t think that is far-fetched.
I think that if I work hard for something, I should be able to get it whether I am a man or a woman. It means that I believe that we should have equal opportunities. Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I can’t do this because I’m a girl.
Feminism at home
I was raised by a woman. It never stopped her from being an incredible parent. I mean it’s just society’s idea of what a woman should be. I don’t think that applies to anything. I feel a man can be just as good a parent as a mum and a woman as good a parent as a dad. Does it really matter what your gender is? All that matters is who you are at the end of the day.
I grew up with a single parent and I never felt like I was missing anything because she puts all of her attention on us. My mum is a superhero and there are lots of mums in the world who are superheroes like her and most people don’t see it that way because you don’t have a dad. I don’t think why people feel there is something wrong with you because you grew up with a single mother. ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie

“Are We Protecting Our Men Too Much So They Feel A Little Entitled And Self-Righteous Sometimes?” Michelle Obama Asks

#mynameiskay

Michelle Obama made some comments on the role women play that makes men feel entitled and self-righteous.


“It’s like the problem in the world today is we love our boys, and we raise our girls. We raise them to be strong, and sometimes we take care not to hurt men and I think we pay for that a little bit.
It’s powerful to have strong men, but what does that strength mean? You know, does it mean respect? Does it mean responsibility? Does it mean compassion?
Are we protecting our men too much so they feel a little entitled and self-righteous sometimes? But, that’s kind of on us too as women and mothers, as we nurture men and push girls to be perfect,” she said.

Betty Irabor Educates On The Disease Called Myasthenia Gravis

Betty Irabor shared the story of a lawyer, Amaka Orakwue, who lives with Myasthenia and still goes about her normal life despite  the ailment. She also shared what the ailment is all about while encouraging people who notice they have the symptoms to talk to her.
She wrote,
One brave woman.. Living with myasthenia.
I am so crushing on @makusbaby ahead of Tmor .. Met this beautiful soul when I got drafted into my church harvest committee weeks ago. Very brilliant lawyer with a PHD in view. She looked like she had no care in the world until she opened up on living with Myasthenia gravis. What’s that?
She described it thus; it Is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes rapid fatigue and weakness in the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body, including the arms and legs. The name myasthenia gravis, which is Latin and Greek in origin, means “grave, or serious, muscle weakness.”
Myasthenia gravis is not inherited nor is it contagious. Because weakness is a common symptom of many other disorders, the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis is often missed or delayed (sometimes up to two years) in people who experience mild weakness or in those individuals whose weakness is restricted to only a few muscles.
A myasthenic crisis is a medical emergency that occurs when the muscles that control breathing weaken to the point where individuals require a ventilator to help them breathe.
**Speak To Me If You Have These Systems: {No One Is Chasing You From Your Village}
Symptoms may include:
drooping of one or both eyelids (ptosis)
blurred or double vision (diplopia) due to weakness of the muscles that control eye movements
a change in facial expression
difficulty swallowing
shortness of breath
impaired speech (dysarthria)
weakness in the arms, hands, fingers, legs, and neck.
Even though it is so physically, financially, emotionally and mentally draining Amaka just goes Abt as if she has no care in the world..,..we wish her well.

Abdul is forgiving and that is great! - Funke Akindele Bello

#mynameiskay


Funke Akindele Bello told TW Magazine, “There was rumours on set that he was being bossy. People were saying that he has three baby mamas. They now started this, ‘ Funke settles for less’ talk. I read comments like ‘three children? Baggage or why can’t she just settle with someone single?’”
So, Funke decided to give herself the pep talk.
She said,
I stood in front of the mirror and told myself, you are 39. Which of your mate is a single guy, or which one older than you is single, except he’s a widower or a divorcee at 40? If he’s not married, ogun aye n ba ja (he is battling with terrestial wars).
Abdul – is he bossy? No. you’re together with him always. Abdul is forgiving and that is great! Someone has dealt with Abdul, he has forgiven the person, and he has moved on. He even invited the person on a project, can you imagine?
I can be very vindictive, I will give my everything but once you mess up, to correct it is a problem for me; and I’m like for this man to be like this, he’s a good man. His kids are grown, and their mothers are all married, happily married, in their homes!
I put it in before God that if it is in thy will for me to marry abdul, let it work, but if there will be problems, let everyone go in peace. That’s what I told God, its you and I leave it to you.
I remember one music artiste calling me on the phone and saying he (my husband) wants to use me to blow. I said he’s no more into music. They said he wants to blow as a director.
People are negative. Never allow people talk you down. Once you talk to God and speak the truth to yourself, ‘is it right?’ tick it.
With that settled, I was just enjoying myself. We’d go to London, we’d be in our house, we’d cook, eat, be happy, go shopping….
He told me, I want the day before your birthday to be our wedding, so you can always remember all the time. I also want you to be 39 and married. He’s a father and a friend and all I tell God is to please grant him long life and good health; and also grant me the same.

How Bola Are Got The Inspiration For Her 40-Year Old Evergreen Song ‘Baba Ku Ise’

#mynameiskay


In 1977, she released a album, ‘Baba Kuse,’ and it became a hit. The songs, according to her has been a source of healing to many people, including a man who was suffering from mental illness.
In an interview with ’Nonye Ben-Nwankwo and Ademola Olonilua of Punch, she shared how she got the inspiration for the song.
She said,
I was not the one that made that album, ‘Baba Ku Ise,’ about 40 years ago. What actually happened was that I was heading to work, Tewogbade and Sons Ltd. Ibadan, where I worked as a store keeper.
I was passing through the house of the late Obafemi Awolowo when I heard a voice that commanded me to stop at the narrow path I was. The Lord gave me the song on the road at about 6:30am; it was as if I was in a trance because everyone who passed by me greeted me but I did not respond because I could not hear them.
It was when the Lord was through teaching me the song that I was aware of my surrounding once again. After the encounter with the Lord, there was a woman passing by called Moji and I was instructed to tell her and her friend Grace, to pay me a visit at home at about 4pm that day.
The lady came with her friend to my house later that day and we formed my first band. That day was June 26, 1973. Unfortunately, when I got to work, I had forgotten the song because I was not with a biro or paper and there was no recorder at that time.
I began to cry at work, so when my Muslim bosses saw that my eyes were swollen, they asked why I was crying but I could not explain to them because they could not understand; so they asked me to go home and sort myself out.
I left work and went to CAC Oke Iranti, Challenge, Ibadan. I met my Pastor, Kehinde, and when I explained what happened to him, he simply said that the Lord would send the song to me again after three months. Immediately he told me that, I began to fast and pray for three months before I was taught the song again.
All through the period I was fasting, I always went to that CAC church during my lunch break. On the third month, the heavens taught me the song again and ever since then, you would hardly see me without a biro, paper or a recorder. That is how I got inspiration for the song. ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie

“My Children Paid The Price For Something They Knew Nothing About” – Rachel Oniga

#mynameiskay

 Rachel Oniga in an interview with Olushola Ricketts of Punch, she shares her joys and regrets..
She said,
My first born, Olamide, was four years old when I left my marriage. I had to put them all in boarding schools. That is one of the most painful things I have had to do. Whenever I talk about this, it always brings me close to tears. My children paid the price for something they knew nothing about.
Children don’t beg parents to have them; we ask them to come to the world, so we should be able to take good care of them. It is not all about money, but I had no choice. I had to work; I had to be a mother and a father to them. I had to make sure that they had all they needed to have.
While they were in school, they didn’t lack anything. I got them all the things rich children had. I understand all I did was not enough, but I thank God for the children He blessed me with. I think God knew I had nobody but Him. In a way, he saw us through and I thank Him for that.
The factor (her late husband married another woman) that led to the end of my marriage made me determined to prove to him (ex-husband) that I could stand without any man.  I was not ready to give any other man the chance to be a hindrance to my children and me.
I also made up my mind that I would dedicate my life totally to my children. I toughened my heart and blocked every opportunity to go into any relationship. I saw myself as equal to any man, regardless of how much money he might have. I give God the glory because I can pay my bills. I dedicated all my life to my job and my children. I became so busy and I was not ready to take any nonsense from men.
Sometimes, when a woman closes her heart, she will not give any relationship a chance. I was always on the defensive. I didn’t want any man to treat my children badly. I was working for my money and I put my kids in good schools. So, what do I need a man for? I felt all men just wanted was to see the beauty of a woman and walk away.
With what my ex-husband did to me, you expect me to trust men again? Before we got separated, he was a good and ideal man. But he married another woman and I moved on. I do not regret leaving him because I sacrificed my life for my children, which makes me fulfilled and happy.
But I miss the whole union thing, friendship and sharing things together. I have missed it all. My advice to young ladies is to keep and fight for their marriages. Perhaps, I was naïve; I never fought for what was mine, but I still thank God. We are in Africa, you fight for your life and that of your children first. Maybe that is why God has been merciful to me and my children.
If her late husband made attempts at reconciliation
There were many failed attempts. He knew the type of person I am; that when I say no, it is no. I tell people that I am like a coin with two faces. I could be stupid and forgiving. In fact, I don’t think there is anyone who forgives as much as I do; I am yet to meet such person. I could forgive or ignore anything, but once I turn my back, I would not go back there. Before death took him (ex-husband) away, he called many times and he came to the house to see his children. Once he arrived, I would pick up my bag and head to movie sets. I didn’t stop him from seeing his children though. ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie

Singer Psalmos Shares What It Was Like Waiting For 6 Years Before Having Their Children

Credit – instagram.com/psalmosofficial

 Bolaji Dekunle-Oniyo shared with Tofarati Ige of Punch, how they survived during their challenges.
We have been married for nine years but we had to wait for six years before we started having children. We believed God for six years before we had a child. That alone can break a marriage but we stuck together because we love ourselves.
There was a lot of pressure from friends and family but we decided to stick together. When God sees genuine love, He dwells there. I am sure He saw that we love each other and he decided to bless us. Now, we have a son and daughter. When we got married, we didn’t have anything. We didn’t even have a mattress, so we were sleeping on the rug.
I remember that I had my first son through Caesarian Section, and I told the doctor that I wanted my husband to be in the theatre with me. He was in there with me and knowing that he was right there meant a lot, though he was scared through it all.
Those are some of the moments I cherish most, and when I came out of the surgery, he was the one telling me everything that happened. We are more like siblings. He was also with me when I had my second child. Those are things that money cannot buy. Even our families know that we always want to be together, and some of them are learning from us in that regard.
Even though we waited for six years, we had imagined them spiritually before they came, but their births have added more responsibilities. Having our children has made me to know my husband in another dimension. I didn’t know that he could bath a child or do some chores but when I gave birth, he was the one who gave our first child his first bath. We always help each other and sometimes, it affects his job because he had to delay some assignments to attend to us. He is a good father and husband. ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie

Drake's TV & Film Takeover With Future

           

Drake graces the newest cover of The Hollywood Reporter and he’s looking like a WHOLE snack, per usual. Sheesh.
The 34-year-old rapper isready to make some moves in the television and film industry.



In the cover story, he shares how he stumbled across the role and how it opened doors for him:

"Obviously, everything's for a reason. I met this kid whose dad was an agent. I got the audition for Degrassi," he recalls. "And I started going to a school for kids with outside commitments [in the arts and sports]. I met a lot of people from a different [more economically diverse] side of the city. My friends changed at that point, and I started coming into my own and finding myself."

That was just the beginning of Drizzy being in showbiz. He has teamed up with Future and Apple to create whatever the hell they want in film and television. The media giant has given the rappers total freedom to create whatever their hearts desire, and money isn’t an issue.

Instead, Drake and Future would rather set up film and TV projects with more niche, auteur-driven companies like A24, the studio behind February's best picture Oscar winner, Moonlight. Days before Carter Effect debuted, Drake attended a private screening of A24's The Florida Project and became obsessed with the Sean Baker-helmed film about a destitute mom and her 6-year-old daughter living in the shadows of Disney World. "That was one of my favorite things I'd seen in a long time, just because it taught me something about a world I would never think of and what it was like to live there. It was just very pure and very human," he says.
Although he has been entirely in the music zone for the past decade, Drake still receives a script a week for acting. The studios, knowing his background and looking to tap into his global fan base, have offered up everything from rebooting the Barbershop franchise to superhero sidekicks. So far, he has turned everything down. "We're not looking to drop him into some Battleship," says Future, a reference to Rihanna and her ill-fated stab at the big screen.

Bloop!

Drizzy almost got caught up with Harvey Weinstein, but even before the sexual assault accusations.

Still, cautionary tales abound. Jay Z made a similar foray into Hollywood last year, but he bet on the wrong horse by aligning with (even then) financially troubled The Weinstein Co. on projects including In the Heights, Richard Pryor: Is It Something I Said and an untitled Trayvon Martin film. Given Harvey Weinstein's pariah status, those projects remain in doubt. Ironically, Weinstein chased Drake to star in and produce a film called The Heist, but Drake rebuffed the overtures long before the mogul faced dozens of sexual harassment and assault claims. "I vetted him with five people and got bad feedback about working with him," Future says simply.

Welp. There’s that.
Outside of the movie and TV business, Drizzy is a collector of nice things. Like Hermès nice. Things that appreciate in value as years go on. He revealed he has a vast collection of Birkin bags he’s saving to give to his future wife.
Peep the clip below where he talks about his collection for his future wife:

Is he taking applications tho? Because...
