Let me confess that I like Okro (Okra) soup. Apart from that it has great nutritional value.

However, some people hate it, claiming religious and health grounds. For example, some say they experience some discomfort in their stomach after they eat it. Some religious organizations also believe that eating okro can have adverse effects on one’s destiny.

Are these assumption true? Is it true that Okro soup can destroy your destiny?

Has anyone lived a lie their whole life?

I am a 64-year old man. For the better part of my life, I had to live a lie. Not because I wanted to. I had to. There is no way I can fully explain what it was like growing up in a very abusive home. Knowing, after being told continuously that you were never wanted in the first place. Anything and everything you believed in or wanted to accomplish, you were told you were too stupid to ever achieve. To realize, when you are only 6 years old, you were attracted to your own gender and you did not know why. To fully discover you were gay when you were 14. To know you could never say or admit it to anyone. To have a boyfriend, a lover, who would be the love of your life, and knowing it could never be.

Being discovered who you were at 16 and damn near losing your life over it. Having been beaten before, this beating was ten-times worse than anything you have ever endured. The lie grows. It manifests itself into becoming someone you never were.

Does the lie include deception? In many ways yes. Making every appearance you are straight when you are not. The only truth you had was genuinely falling in love with only one woman. She would eventually discover your lie, yet understood why you never said anything. Why you hid. Why you never removed your shirt. Why you never allowed her or anyone to see your back, let alone your body naked unless it was dark. Why you shied away from people. Why, even with a high intelligence, you chose to act dumber than you were. Why you were never really happy.

I carried a lie until I was 61 years old. I only started admitting it after my wife of 40 years died. That lifetime of lies cost me everything, except for the only grandchild, my oldest grandson, whom I have raised since he was a baby. He is deaf and has ASD, so he does not fully understand what being gay is.

I lost my children, as they disowned me. Friends deserted me, even though they admitted they had suspected I was gay for years. It wasn’t until I came out did it become an issue. I was cast out of my religion.

You see, lies do not get you anywhere. Even the truth can get you hurt, badly. I guess Karma really can be a bitch. She is definitely getting me back in spades. Maybe I should have…?

No lawyers will ever work for you free of charge, no matter how close you’re. Even if they’re your brother, they will still make you pay for stationery (unless in very rare circumstances).

If you have a case, whether you will lose or win, lawyers will charge you for their services.

Now, police officers will also charge you for their services. It’s not an official thing, but it’s a reality.

Lawyers know that police also must get some money, and they encourage their clients to give police officers their dues.

However, if it appears that the police want to take too much from you, lawyers will ask you not to give them anything again. But if you want to give your lawyer more jobs or you want to make them work continuously, they will continue to demand more money from you.

The logic is: Lawyers want you to pay them for their jobs, and for you to continue doing that as long as they’re working for you… But they don’t want you to give money to the police. They think the police should work for you free.

Perhaps lawyers think if you give money to the police, you may not be left with much to give to them.

Do you think police officers would like such things? When there are things that police will do and lawyers cannot do.

Honestly... This kinda job isn't easy to get.



Perfect Money/Payeer/Epay/Neteller/Skrill: ItuGlobal

I think I get rejected every day.

I got rejected yesterday. I’m not ready to say what it was about but it was something important to me.

I got rejected the day before. Someone I really admired didn’t want to go on my podcast.

I got rejected the day before that. I was doing stand-up comedy and I didn’t get as many laughs as I would’ve liked.

I got rejected the day before that. I wanted my daughter to go with me to Paris and she said, “no” because of school work.

I got rejected the day before that.

I’m not sure what happened to me. Because I still get disappointed after a rejection.

But I know that after a rejection I can ask “why” and I can improve.

After a rejection I can figure out if there’s a “backdoor” that can still get through to the people who say “you can’t”.

After a rejection I can ask experts and mentors (or read about them) and learn from their successes.

After a rejection I can take a walk and look at the beautiful rooftops with gargoyles and gardens and the intimate secret etchings of architects and take a deep breath and appreciate the moments we are allowed to breathe.

After a rejection I can come up with 10 more ideas of ideas I want to work on and use the experiences of failure to become a better person, to have a better chance at success, to work with better people who will contribute to my success (and I to theirs) and to increase my odds of doing what I love.

I say to myself, “If only she had said ‘yes’ yesterday to this project I really wanted. My life would be different!”

I could say that yesterday and still feel the sting. But in a day or two that sting will be over.

And I will be “on to the next one” as Jay-Z says. A billionaire rapper rejected more than anyone.

It’s a 100 to 1 ratio John McGinley told me.

“My dad would ask us, ‘what did you fail at this week?’”, billionaire Sara Blakely told me about her Friday night dinners growing up.

When Richard Branson’s flight to Puerto Rico was cancelled one time when he was 27 years old he created an entire airline as a result of that rejection.

When “50 Shades of Grey” was rejected by every publisher, EL James self-published it first (finding the backdoor), then after selling 250,000 copies she was traditionally published and now has sold 40 million copies.

When Barack Obama was told to “wait his turn” by every establishment figure he admired in 2008, he had the audacity to hope and became president.

When Mike Massimino, the astronaut who fixed the Hubble Telescope, failed the test (for the fifth time) to join NASA “because of his eyesight”, he did eye exercises for a year to actually get his eyesight to 20–20.


The above people are lucky.

The above people are curious.

The above people are arrogant.

The above people ask “What if…?”

The above people learn from their mistakes and don’t blame others.

The above people learn new skills to enhance their old skills.

The above people don’t listen to what society tells them they should do.

The above people are threats to the establishment, to their friends, and to the most toxic people of all – their frenemies.

The above people over prepare and make sure their needs fit the agendas of the people they are asking from.

I’ve been rejected a million times. And it’s never pleasant. And I always want to give up. And I’m often depressed. And I’m often lonely.

But I’m free.

I used to buy from Jumia and Konga (cash on delivery) when they used to deliver within 4 business days of an order. I stopped using them when they cancelled cash on delivery (for a good reason), and they delayed orders for weeks. I even discovered that their prices are not after all, lower than prices of other physical stores.

I discovered that Slot.ng prices (which specialize on phones) are OK. You can even take phones back to them if there are issues, without the frustrating formalities that will make you go through.

Since I’ve been buying phones from Slot.ng, I’ve not had a cause for a single complaint. Nevertheless, I didn’t fail to notice M-Chris, which probably has more stores than Slot.

I decided to give M-Chris a try. I bought a FERO basic phone (I usually bought phones for people), only for the beneficiary to report to me later, that the battery is very poor. Obviously, the original battery has been removed so that customers would later come to buy original battery with extra cash.

The last time, I bought FERO from Slot, there was no complaint as far as the battery is concerned.

Recently I bought an Infinix Hot 6 from M-Chris, only for the phone to go off the following day, after it has been charged fully. I returned the phone, and I got another one after 2 weeks.

But I’ve made a decision, I won’t buy phones from M-Chris again, although I need to confess that their customers support is OK.

Slot.Ng, you got a good, loyal, customer.

What’s the difference between the phrases “you and me” and “you and I”?

Good question!

CAUTION: These days you may read or hear otherwise well-educated people (e.g., journalists, authors, educators, speakers) misuse these phrases. Do not imitate their bad examples!

PRO TIP: Use “you and I” as a subject, and use “you and me” as either a direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition. Examples are below.

SUBJECT: You and I are best friends. You and I both understand English. You and I love to travel together.

DIRECT OBJECT: Ava invited you and me to the party.

INDIRECT OBJECT: Gigi told you and me the whole story.

OBJECT OF A PREPOSITION: Shaun gave it to you and me.

He was once married, and I think he has kids.

First Baptist Church. The name brings many things and many questions to my mind.

Many years ago, I saw an almanac of First Baptist Church, Aipate. Iwo, I thought it was the only First Baptist Church in Nigeria, as a result of being the first Baptist Church to be established in the country.

However, I later saw another First Baptist Church in Lagos. I thought I even saw another one in Lagos. I was surprised.

Recently I saw another First Baptist Church in Ilesha, Ogun State, and questions began to come to my mind afterwards.

What is the meaning of First Baptist Church? Isn’t it supposed to be the first Baptist Church established in Nigeria?

What/which is the first Baptist Church to be established in the country? How many First Baptist Churches are there in the country?

What is thus the significance of the name: “First Baptist Church?” Isn’t that misleading when there are many “First Baptist Churches” in the country? Which branch is truly the First?

But there are many reasons to write a book:

A legacy for your descendants. I would love if I could read a book written by my great-great-great grandfather describing what his life was like. What’s the audience for that book? Just his descendants. But that’s a decent reason.

Getting to talk about something you are passionate about.

Often people write a book to get speaking or consulting opportunities that are very lucrative. If a company is trying to decide between consultant A and consultant B, they will pick the person who has written a book. I know this to be true.

Practice. Many people write several books before they manage to produce their big bestseller that changes their lives completely. Book writing is a craft and, like any craft, takes time to build the skill set.

You aren’t limited by genre. You can write a book that YOU want to write as opposed to fitting a specific marketplace.

To complement your business. A friend of mine makes a special kind of makeup and moisturizer catered to women going through menopause. So she wrote a small book about menopause that explains in detail the chemical and hormonal reactions in the body and how certain chemicals can help. This complements her product sales.

What is prison like in the United Arab Emirates?


I have been put in Jail 3 times for 3 reasons:

I was taken to jail for honking my vehicle horn at a powerful and influential local. (15 years ago).

I was taken to jail after a woman falsely accused me of ruining her name (Without evidence) and was told if she went ahead, I would be jailed indefinitely without evidence.

I was jailed also for being tattooed as someone complained that I was the Anti-Christ, the evil spirit and the devil.

However, to my luck, I didn’t have any evidence against me and the jails that I was put in - the Policemen were kind and humane. Before anything - let me be the first to say - whomsoever I met in Dubai Police or Sharjah Police - they have been nothing but kind and nice to me. And as you go higher up - the Arab Locals who are educated - are really amazing human beings. They are very kind, very nice and very loving people.

And it is ironical that my mentor for 16 years was the Head of a Section in the Police. I love him, respect him and will forever respect him.

So I can honestly tell you - the Arab Locals I interacted with - they have been amazing human beings with me and my experience has been nothing but positive. You can literally say that I felt I was talking to a Father Figure - someone with deep love, compassion and kindness.

However, just as it takes all kinds of people to make this world - I can say in some cases I have been treated like trash for looking the way I look - but that is normal. There are exceptions to the rule. However, I cannot say the same for the others whom I know. This is what they have shared with me. And I cannot name them as they requested for anonymity out of fear. So while some prisons are like VIP hotel rooms – designed for the rich, famous and powerful, I am pretty sure those are not the stories you want to hear about.

Here are the stories you do not hear about in the news or media.

There are some prisons camps which are kept in absolute secrecy where those who are a threat to National Security are kept. No one who has been there has come out alive. And legend has it - once you are put there - its over. You don’t exist anymore.

You can be jailed for any reason – from having a false complaint registered in your name to the worst – having someone influential and powerful angry with you.

My friends have been jailed in Sharjah for being a man and having ear-rings. While in RAK if you are pregnant out of wedlock - the woman will be jailed until she gives birth and after birth the child is taken away from her and given to a Muslim Orphanage to be raised as a Muslim until some Muslim couple adopts this child. While the mother is deported back to her country (this is common only for Asians as their governments do not support their citizens but never for Western Passport Holders).

There are people who have been kept in prison without trial because they have messed with the wrong or powerful people. One such person apparently was in jail for 35 years without knowing what he did wrong.

Some prisons are absolutely racist. Bangladeshis are treated the worst.
There are gangs in prison and if you are unlucky and get into a wrong prison, you can get raped and you cannot do anything about it.

Depending where you are (Dubai or Sharjah or RAK) you can have anywhere from 7 people in one room to 50 people in one tiny room with you.
In some prisons there is total corruption. Money is being taken by prison guards if you want normal human rights to be given to your relative or friend in prison.

There are temporary detention centers in all public places (Dubai Metro, Airport) where you are kept for time being until you are transferred to the actual prison.
The Airport Detention Center is like a 3-Star Prison.

There is a hierarchy of power – Arabs get better benefits (better cells, cigarettes) and better treatment.

Nationalities that endure the worst treatment Asians, Filipino, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Palestinians etc

Lots of bullying takes place inside prison camps where you can be beaten or disciplined if you fall out of line.
You can buy food in certain prisons. Some of them have canteens. However some prisons are absolutely horrifying where you will lose half your body weight.

The prisons shown on Social Media are the ones where they offer the best facilities to keep in line with the Human Rights.

Hygiene in some prisons is horrifying as in some prisons people stink for not having had bath. Some places there are rats.

Toilet facilities in some prisons – you are not allowed to clean yourself with anything and in some places the toilet is a commode kept open in front of everyone with 50 people in one place.
End of the day, a prison is a prison and I would never recommend you to do anything to land there. And if you do land there, apologize, beg and do whatever you can do to get out. It is not worth being there.

And at the same time keep this in mind - UAE is much more humane than most of the other Middle East countries. There the horror stories jump from ending up with your hands and legs being chopped off to being treated so inhumane that you would wish for death than anything else.

I truly hope you never go to prison.

And in a strange ironical way, I want to thank the UAE for treating me well and not bad even when I was taken to prison. But I have to post this because - I want others to not only be afraid of going to Prison but know - if they assume that breaking the UAE law will give them 5-star treatment - well please wake up. This is not your country and you must respect its rules.
