Everyday I Cry On The Inside

It as if we live in a different world. Life's naturally beautiful but human greed is making it look and feels terrible for some. I'm kinda private person and I know some of you would argue diz fact due to my daily posting on my platforms and I will tell you why. I came out of my hideout knowing fully well nobody is willing to lead me a voice. Nearly every newspapers company around I have written to them few times and I got nothing back. I created my platforms for single purpose. To express my concern and issues affecting me, people and environment around me. I'm NOT doing diz for recognition. I'm NOT into copy and paste many do here. I spend quality time researching, speaking to people, writing emails and praying to God for inspirations.
Generally, I'm a happy soul and I love to play; A LOT and those who know me can attest to diz but how can I be happy knowing that the system we been born in is a SET UP and it only favors some? I came from a middle class family and there's a huge value and relevance placed on child's education. Thanks to my parents and my brothers especially for making sure that I went to school at the point where I was almost becoming a REGRET to those around me, though NOT by choice but by what was around me. I mean environment! I love people and used to be easily influenced by what they do. Positive and Negative.
Diz lock down has really brought my mind back to things I have been through personally and collectively with friends and I feel like sharing now seeing how unfortunate youths in Africa are and how they are being used to cause major unrest in their own village, town, city, country or continent. Though I was never near anything they do and say now but I wish they have someone listening and offering them useful advise. My heart bleed and it makes me cry and feel sad and at the same time grateful to my late father who week in and out coming to my school to apologize to teachers and principal due to my bad conducts. My Mom at a point lost all hope on me and she never said anything positive about me and Stanley, Jude, Tega and the rest are my life witnesses. I remained in school due to my father's influence.
These guys rioting, protesting and destroying things are NOT all bad people I promise. They just lack love, good advise and above all, FOOD! If you have never tasted poverty be grateful to life cuz you never know what it means to NOT have and to not eat. In early 2016 in Cambodia, I was wounded and bitter and going to do some bad stuffs to people that hurt me not weighing the consequences upfront until God sent help my way. NOT money but PURE LOVE AND HELPFUL ADVISE which was what I was missing and in need of and NOBODY around was offering me it.
 
 
Hunger is worse than Corona virus and African politicians device diz strategy to trap and enslave the poor and their children. We are being fed with lies and empty promises. A hungry man is an angry man they say. To keep people who go out everyday in search of daily food at home in this lock down is the toughest challenge our government is facing and it's tough to convince a hungry person to hind to advice at diz moment but there has to be a way.
I strongly recommend our government to start thinking of sending people that can sit to negotiate with diz guys ASAP if not, things are going to turn ugly. The protest is spreading from state to state bit by bit and nobody including the government wants to see diz happening to our dear country.
I'm worried with the situation cuz when all else fails, the next action of by the government is likely to be manslaughter and poor, hungry, homeless and disadvantaged kids, teens and adults are going to be victims as always.
Everyday I cry on the inside for the unlucky and innocent Nigerians/Africans people experiencing hardship, forced labor, human trafficking, stigmatization, stereotyping, tough immigration laws, crime, thuggery, disappointments, hope against HOPE etc... #TalkNLIVE

No Wrong Paths!


Hey! Thanks for stopping by. Literally, the video above may seem short with very common words you probably hear everyday and they have not really sink into your mind as intended by Oprah, maybe. The same thing happened to me at first. I went back listening to it again and again till I finally understood the message. Most people just read and not figuring out the actual meaning of the stuff they just read or trying to figure out writers/speakers mind. Its all come down to listening ability. How much do you listen and how much do you learn and take from your listening? Do NOT listen with your ears only. Listen with your mind. Allow it sink deeply inside you. That way you get the message correctly.

When I'm around people, I play, laugh and smile but I listen more to utterances of people and I reprocess them at my lone time trying to figure out their meaning and intentions behind them. Yes, I am a thinker and most people who truly know me understand this about me. We live in thinkers'era. It takes proper thinking to write meaningful poetry, movie script, documentary or an article.

As a result, I have put together here, few quotes that I fell in love with and that has really inspired my afternoon (today) and have made them part of me.


1. "Life has no plot. It is far more interesting than anything you could say about it because language by its very nature, orders things and life really has no order.'' by Erica Jong

Whilst its good to speak several languages, do not allow it to divide your mindset.


2. ''Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.'' by Joshua J. Marine

   If you don't want challenges, don't ask for a meaningful life in other words. Some people discover their true innate abilities in time of difficulty, happiness, dreams, love etc..

3. ''Sometimes the people who don't talk to you are ones that really want to...'' This is a known fact. 
     People who like and love you are around but hardly they communicate and when they do, its more like a down pour. We all have these kind of people. We often take them for granted or fail to know they care. 

4. ''Life is very interesting if you make mistakes.'' by George Carpenter
   
When you worry too much about what people think and say about you, your dream may never come true. Harsh but this is original truth. I can comfortably tell you I was a victim of this for many years until recent time. Like just recently. People must talk about you because you are relevant and doing things they wish for themselves. Go for your dreams and no looking back.

5. Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

Phnom Penh Mega Praise And Worship


Praise God! You are invited to MEGA PRAISE AND WORSHIP where God is going to be speaking to as many that need Christ Jesus in their lives in order to live and fulfill their plans and purpose in life. God has not created us for shame and struggles and whatever our situation might be today, I strongly believe this program would tear down kingdom of evil and disappointment and God's people would receive help from HEAVEN and be liberated from every oppression of the devil. THE DAYS ARE OVER FOR THE ENEMY TO KEEP GOD'S PEOPLE IN BONDAGE. 
Early this year, I was going through what I don't know and I have never been so lost and confused this way in my life. I was hit with heavy betrayal by those I love and trusted so much. The pain was so heavy that I completely lost myself. I'm into events and parties organizing. I love what I do. I wanted to get back desperately so others won't see me as failure or something. I remember God in this instant time. I started seeking help from God. I attended vigils and different programs at different places. One day I was praying, I heard a voice saying...If you could glorify my name,  I would hasten my word concerning you. Then I ask, Lord what must I do now? I heard the voice again. ''Begin your 2016 events calendar with praise and worship''. I failed to listen and went on doing my things. I decided to NOT miss church instead of hearken to what the voice had told me. I was considering many stuff. What people going to say about me. I was SHY to be identify with Christ despite my love for God. Things went from bad to worse for me. ''Whenever God is going to use you, He disrupts everything in your life and make you UNCOMFORTABLE in order for you to grow.'' Almost everyone I know asking me to go back to where I belong and that's God. My good friend Oshare whom God communicate through, constantly refer me to church. In his words...'' Go back to Alter where you belong. You are having troubles because you are running away from God.'' I know I don't ever want to be a pastor. This scare me away from being involved with church activities. Please come to MEGA PRAISE AND WORSHIP to hear full testimony. 
With my situation getting worse and 2016 speedily coming to an end, my worries grows bigger daily and I hate the situation I found myself and to get out of this mess, MEGA PRAISE AND WORSHIP must happen. I have a strong believe this will be moment of liberation for me and for anyone going through similar situation or believing God for anything. 
VENUE
We are looking for a venue within the city and anyone with useful information should please reach out with details on flyer. The decision to use neutral spot for this program is that everyone feel free to welcome. Doors are wide open to all welling to come in. Please do NOT see this about me but God showing His greatness.   
DATE: It's certainly this November 2016 
All churches and believers of all races are invited. We are in need of volunteers as well. We are open to new ideas so feel free to reach out. 
Kindly follow @alascospicetv and @unofficialharryspice on Instagram for daily updates. Thank you and see God blessing and opening more doors for his people through Mega Praise and Worship. Help invite others.

Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure made it two titles in a row by winning the 2012 African Player of the Year at a glamorous Glo-CAF Awards Gala in Accra on Thursday at the Banquet Hall, State House in Accra. The votes from the Head Coaches or Technical Directors of the National Associations affiliated to CAF determined the winner.

Toure was crowned the best African player at a colourful ceremony attended by the crème de la crème of African football officials, current and former players and administrators. Ghana’s Minister of Youth and Sports, Clement Kofi Humado and Minister of Communication, Haruna Iddrisu graced the event as did CAF President Issa Hayatou and members of the CAF Executive Committee.

Top international musicians who performed included Salif Keita, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Nigerian afrobeat musician Lagbaja and Ghanaian songstress, Irene Logan.

The back to back titles put the 29-year-old into the company of Senegal’s El- Hadji Diouf and Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o who achieved similar feats. The Manchester City player beat his compatriot Didier Drogba who finished second with Cameroon’s Alex Song coming third.

Drogba whose last kick for English club , Chelsea won the European Champions League for the Blues in a penalty shoot-out also scored in FA Cup win for Chelsea but Toure’s immense contribution in helping Manchester City win their first domestic championship in 44 years saw him pick up Africa’s most prestigious individual award
Egyptian and Al Ahly midfielder Mohamed Aboutreika was crowned African player of the Year Based in Africa. The 34-year old bagged his second title after winning the same award in 2008.

Reigning African champions Zambia won the National Team of the Year award after their heroics of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea and it was no surprise either that their charismatic coach, Herve Renard walked away with the Coach of the Year award for steering Chipolopolo to their maiden Africa Cup of Nations title.

Equatorial Guinea playmaker Genoveva Anonma was adjudged Women’s Footballer of the Year for her exploits with club and country. Her goals helped Equatorial Guinea win their second African Women’s Championship this year.

Tributes flow in after death of Solomon Damagudu

Naga Corp assistant coach Solomon Demagudu of Nigeria died in the early hours of Saturday morning at Calmette Hospital after losing his battle against a blood cancer that had spread to his intestines.

He was 30 years of age.

Ken Gadaffi, former president of the Nigerian Community Association and adviser to theNational Olympic Committee of Cambodia, expressed the “great loss” felt by his fellow nationals and the sports fraternity in Phnom Penh.

“It’s a shock to us all. He contributed so much to Cambodian football,” Gadaffi told the Post yesterday. “Solomon was a born leader and brought the African players together during his time here.”

Demagudu is the second Nigerian footballer to die on Cambodian soil in just over two years, following 25-year-old Wilson Mene’s fatal heart attack during a game in May 2010.

“At the time of [Demagadu’s] death, he was the President of the African Football Union and helped organise a tournament last year. He always fought for the welfare of the players,” added Gadaffi.

Solomon Demagadu joined Navy club Phouchung Neak in 2008 after a spell playing in Azerbaijan.

He made appearances for Post Tel Club before a recurring knee injury forced him to hang up his playing boots and turn coach.

He lead Khemera Keila for the 2010 season when the club was in a dire financial situation, before taking control of Division A1 club Chhlam Samuth. After successfully orchestrating their promotion to the Metfone C-League, Demagudu got a contract as assistant coach at Naga under head coach Prak Sovannara.

“Solomon knew of his health problem nine months ago and revealed it to me five months ago,” Sovannara told the Post. “Doctors tried to keep his spirits up as his condition became serious over the last month and he made regular trips to the hospital.”

He coach noted how, over the last 10 days, players and coaching staff at Naga had donated blood and spent time with him at his bedside.

“Solomon is the first foreign colleague of mine who left all his problems at home and concentrated fully on work. He never showed any weaknesses to his players,” added Sovannara. “We want to hold a minute’s silence in his honour when the league kicks off again [this Saturday].”

Phnom Penh Crown striker and national team star Kouch Sokumpheak, who had captained Khemera during Solomon’s stint, expressed his emotions at the tragic news.

“When I got the call from my friend [Naga defender and former Khemera team-mate] Tiet Chandara Sokha, I was very, very shocked. I knew him very well,” said Sokumpheak. “Solomon is a good foreigner who tried to help Khemera when they had financial problems. He tried to help Cambodian football.”

Demagudu is survived by two sons, his Azerbaijani wife and a sister, who all currently live in Phnom Penh. Burial arrangements are being made.
