Nigerian entertainment website nigeriafilms.com has named popular Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson as its hottest and favourite actress after comparing her with other top Nigerian and Ghanaian actresses.

The declaration has come barely a week to the actress’s planned huge public premiere of her movie, ‘Single & Married’, on September 22 in Ghana and on the 28th in Nigeria.

Yvonne starred in the movie and produced it too. The website’s report on Sunday, September 16, compared three Ghanaian actresses - Yvonne Nelson, Jackie Appiah and Nadia Buari- to their Nigerian counterparts- Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Ekeinde, Rita Dominic, Mercy Johnson, Ini Edo and Tonto Dike - over who was hot, on and off the screens.

Even though it didn’t define the criteria for how the names were arrived at as well as a deeper meaning to “on and off the screen”, it named the Ghanaian as the hottest. “When you compare Nigerian actresses with Ghanaian actresses, you will see that the Ghanaian Actresses Jackie Appiah, Nadia Buari and Yvonne Nelson are hotter than Nigeria’s Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Rita Dominic, Mercy Johnson, Ini Edo and Tonto Dike on and off screen.”

Scarborough United Group Plc, SUGPlc, said it plans to invest N77.89 billion ($500 million) in Nigeria’s real estate, leisure and football services in the next six to nine months.


To actualise this, the firm which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Scarborough Group International Limited (SGIL), a United Kingdom based company, has appointed Mr Jacob Esan, a leading Nigerian investment banker into the boards of SUGPlc and Sheffield United Plc (SUPlc).
According to a statement by the company, Mr Esan will be working alongside the McCabes in an executive capacity principally to facilitate the provision of capital from Nigeria permitting SGIL via SUG to further expand its businesses in real estate, leisure and services – with Football at its hub, thereby exploiting its brand.
It is envisaged that the new funds of up to US$500 million will become available within a six to nine month period for SUG to invest in all its three business divisions. Mr Esan would also replicate similar skills and experience in Nigeria and Africa in general, the statement said.
Jacob Esan commented “Working with the other members of the Scarborough team to create a major independent group is an exciting challenge which I will relish.
“Given the anticipated size and scale of the group – and with it the famous Sheffield United – I believe the opportunity to access capital to advance the business interests in our three divisions– is of great importance. I am committed to expanding all of our off-the-field activities taking advantage of opportunities available both in the UK and globally as a result of the continuing economic recession.”

OP
has ulterior motive and is not after the truth, nothing can be learnt from arguing

plaetton: If a man can bless god, it means that either the word bless means something other than what we think it means or god means something other than what we think.
If mortals have the power to bless god, we should also have the power curse god and make it stick.

God is more than our limited brains can fanthom,yes we can bless God,meaning thanking him, because the human race has been blinded by the things we see, we take note of the things we see not, though they be more powerful ,like love, gratitude etc
remember His will for Adam and mankind was to visit, occasionally and fellowship with man ............
man is not his body, his body is a container man is a spirit

A very emotional Yvonne Okoro has expressed her complete dismay with a recent publication that suggested that her younger sister, Rosaline Okoro doesn’t deserve to compete in the ongoing Miss Ghana beauty contest
because she isn’t ‘Ghanaian’ enough. She described the article as divisive with xenophobic tendencies and lacking facts.

In a phone interview with the actress who recently won Best Pan African Actress at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards, a category for non-Nigerians, she clarified her nationality while addressing ‘frivolous’ issues raised in the said article.

She said: “I realized that the writer didn’t do due diligence in finding out about the person he was writing about, that is my family. You don’t just get up and write an article about somebody’s nationality without knowing the person or at least enquiring from the person.

It is a very sensitive matter because it is not just about me or the Okoro family; it’s about people who live in Ghana, people who live in Africa and the rest of the world in the face of xenophobia.”

According to Yvonne, the author based his argument on the constitution of America without even considering what the constitution of Ghana says on what constitutes Ghanaian citizenship. Here is an excerpt from the article posted on the internet: “I do not have a problem with Roseline Okoro’s nationality as a Ghanaian. Since one of her parents is a Ghanaian, by law, she is a Ghanaian.

talking about,the law of faith and my being interpreted when u thot what i said meant God will punish innocent God does not do that
man in ignorance or the abuse of the law of love brings about his own demise.

look around you, see lot of religious, atheist, spiritual people , non spiritual,rich and successful in their en devours

now what we need to be able to see God is not religion,but its our spirituality, however u see some people, who try all their lives to be holy and indeed,they are holy before God and indeed sanctified saints, fail in their jobs and careers, though they are blameless, and sincerely fear God and lead a life of righteousness, but fail in their jobs or lack financially, do u think God is punishing them ? no they in ignorance of the law of faith, go thru distress and non Christians etc unconsciously practice this law, become a success material, what am i saying, as u think so u are, and it is always unto us as we believe, see job as an example, we see that, it is what her feared that came upon him, nothing else,nothing bad, evil can happen to a christian if he has no fear of that thing

nicely said

when i used the term God must pay, i did not surely mean, by fire by force oo , infact from my experience when God pays us for our righteous deeds, we hardly notice and comes from an angle we least expect,what i mean? God does a lot for us, under the guise of the favour and love people,it may be material or non material

talking about harshness dont you think it will be contradictory for God to be loving and harsh at once? God sees all men that have accepted Jesus as saints,and citizens of heaven, but residing on earth and one law is required for us to live successfully,that is the law of love, so man in violation of the law, through hating, judging,unforgiving his neighbor brings destruction upon himself(remember my people die for lack of knowledge)(wisdom is the principal thing in all thy getting get wisdom)that is why Paul says we have obtained the perfect law of liberty, but let us not use it for vice but for love,also Paul understood,that the dispensation of grace, in other words meant the dispensation of love,and says love is the fulfilling of the law, because he knows there is a law in operation which must be obeyed.remember the part of matte w i quoted about the judgment God told the people, whom he rejected, depart from me you who practice lawlessness,so you see theirs a a law. David also attests to this when he says ''blessed are they whom You teach out of Your law''

study closely the death of Lazarus, ull see that Jesus wanted it to happen that way, in order that He may give God glory

ur right though,to a large extent, we cant put His ways in a box......
but to a large extent too, His patterns are similar

Obi1kenobi: Well, as can be surmised from my replies above, I think it's somewhat naive if anyone truly believes those biblical stories are true. For example, it's a little far fetched that the manpower, know-how and technology was available thousands of years ago to build a tower of Babel that would sweep the clouds. Or that this incident is responsible for our different languages. No credible scientist, historian or anthropologist could hold this to be close to the truth.

scientists, just discovered of late, that there are water springs underneath, the great oceans of the world.

Job mentioned this fact, years ago!

archeologist way back found a coin with the inscription of king Solomon, way back...............

whom are scientist? ........to some extent guess workers

theirs more to life than meets the eye

the greatest scientist ever albert Einstein later, believed in Jesus at least to some extent tho..........

choice really is urs, BUT, what if one tiny little bit of the stories are true then what.......

if u take the bible literately , u will get confused,or will seem like chemistry to u

u CAN NOT get the message behind the bible with ur ,and give it a literal interpretation.

it is spiritual book and only ur spiritual eyes can pick,the main message,paul says the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life

you guys are all misinterpreting me......firstly i do not know what you guys mean about the Christians in Antioch

@tiberius
remember the scriptures says in Mathew that at the end of the age, God will ask the unrighteous depart from me etc............., because you saw me hungry and never gave me food, saw me in jail and never came to visit etc and they will say when did we see u, and He will say in as much as you did it to the least of these you did it to me ..........

everyman is Jesus in disguise: a quote by mother Theresa, and simply if u do not forgive ur brother God will not forgive u, what am i saying?the summ of all the teachings is love, simply theres a law in operation which needs to be obeyed and paul says love is the fulfilling of the law.,with the measure u give it shall be given back to u!

i do not knw what u mean by forcing Gods hand etc, or punishing the innocent.

issue of inverted faith:see how peter got out of the boat and walked on water to meet Jesus?, but he he saw the wind boisterous and became afraid(thot,belief,of the worse)he started sinking,and Jesus caught him and said why did ye doubt oh ye of little faith.

also remember the centurion, Jesus told him as u have believed, let it be unto u, yes it is what we belive that makes things happen the way they happen,also remember that Jesus could not do miracles in his village, due to his peoples unbelief

WHO IS THEN?

Judge not so you shall not be judged ............Jesus always shied away from judging, i think his disciples should love more

God requires only two invincible and intangible thing from you, faith and love..... love is the fulfilling of the law

Hello ... E_monkey? Nice name =) I am a Christian and, quite accidentally, this morning I heard a woman talk about how and why she became a Christian. She's from Iran, she was a Muslim, then she moved to England. There, she found her brother became a Christian. She didn't like it, of course =) Her point was that just as Jesus (as a great prophet) raised the level of standard from the law of Moses, Muhammad also raised the level of Jesus' teaching into an even higher level. So, as Islam is already perfect, why should she go backwards, to a lower level? It didn't make sense. So, she refused to listen and, after a while, she asked her brother to shut up about it because she wasn't interested.

But, eventually, she visited her brother's friend because they promised they won't talk to her about Christianity. However, as she was talking to the man's wife in one corner, her brother and the man were reading the Bible in another, and she could hear them. They were talking about a portion we call "the sermon on the mount." It's in Matthew's account about the life of Jesus, in chapter five. What caught her attention was what Jesus said in this portion:



This started her thinking because this concept of revenge ( "eye to eye" ) is in the law of Moses, but she realized Jesus took it to a much higher level than that. So, she thought, it's Islam that brought it back to the lower level that it was before! Now, of course, she didn't accept it right then because she wanted to know more, she couldn't just discard everything she believed in, she didn't want to having to go back and forth between the two, it's too important a matter for that. But that's what started her out, so I thought I could share it with you.

---

The basic teaching of Christianity is that man is sinful but God is just, so God can't let man's sin without punishment. We all already sinned so, for a perfect God, we can't be "good enough." But God is also loving, and he found a way to be able to not to have to punish us, but for that, I'll need to talk about this doctrine called "trinity" first.

From the Bible, we can see that there are three separate persons (with their own separate will) with the attributes that only God can have (things like all-knowing, all-powerful, one who we can rightly worship, etc.) Now, at the same time, we know that there is ONE God. Jesus talked about his Father, and the Jews wanted to stone him, because he made himself equal with God. And that's a terrible sin, except if you are indeed equal with God. Now, when we talk about Jesus as the Son, this must not be interpreted in the context of human procreation, because it has nothing to do with it. In fact, the Bible says the Son has always existed, just as the Father. It's about the relationship between them: that the Son, while being equal with the Father, still submits to His will. How can God be one and yet three persons? I think it's okay that God is great enough that we can't understand or explain everything about him =)

So, back to the story. God can't just forget about my sin, because he's just. But he wants to forgive me, because he loves us (though we don't deserve it.) That's why Jesus came to the world. All of us, when we die, have to pay for our sins. Jesus, as God (and yes, that's a very strong statement, one that needs proof!) lived a perfect life, so he could take upon himself our sins: he died and paid the price instead of us (another really hard to accept thing: that God would die for us...) But death couldn't keep him captive, he rose again, winning over death once and forever.

God is not only willing, he wants to forgive us, but can he forgive somebody who doesn't accept he's at fault? So, we need to come to God and confess that we're sinful, and ask him to forgive us. And he will! He wants to, Jesus came and died for this very reason! All we need to do is admit we're at fault and ask for his help. Yet, even this is something we can't do without God's work in our life first. Even realizing we need God's forgiveness is God's work in our life... We really have nothing to be proud of.

Yet we are proud and we like to think we have it all together. We want to work for it, to be able to say "yes God, I deserve your reward!" But we simply can't be good enough for God, we already failed, we can't undo all the bad that we already did.

So, this is probably the biggest revelation from Christianity: we can't please God, we can't reach him. We were hopeless, but God scooped down to us and reached out for us.

Here are two of my favorite quotes:





The first one is from the apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians, chapter 2, the second is from his letter to the Ephesians, chapter 2.

Also, about the "burning in hell" thing. I believe that what matters is whether somebody humbles himself and turns to God or Allah (the name doesn't matter, there is only God who created the world) with an understanding that he can't be good enough, and ask for his help. God will not refuse a humble man (but He resists the proud – the one who thinks he can be good enough even for God Himself.) I believe that knowing all the correct things about God is important because then I can live a life as one who knows is accepted by God. But I also know that God is good and he won't condemn anybody who turns to him, no matter by what name or with how much or how little understanding.

Sorry I wrote this much. I can talk so much about these things, the reason behind my security in God's grace and forgiveness. I want to share it with as many as I can. And yes, if you are interested, I can write you more about the teachings of Christianity, or if you are interested, about some of the differences I know about between Islam and Christianity.

NICE one,
GOD requires only two, things from each and every one of us,we can not be righteous enough for him , holy enough, etc

ONLY TWO LAWS THE LAW OF LOVE(LOVE GOD WITH UR ALL,AND WHERE IS HE? IN UR NEIGHBOR, THAT IS LOVE UR NEIGHBOR AS YOUR SELF)(WHEN U LOVE UR NEIGHBOR AS UR SELF DO NOT BE DECEIVED U ARE ONLY LOVING GOD,AND WHEN U GIVE GOD,HE MUST REPAY,)SO IMAGINE THE DANGERS OF HATING UR NEIGBOUR

LAW OF FAITH (AS YOU BELEIVE IN LIFE,WHAT EVER YOU BLEIVE IN LIFE, IT SHALL BE UNTO U, IRRESPECTIVE OF IF YOUR BELIEF IS HARMFUL TO YOU OR NOT, ITS UNTO U AS U BELIEVE)BELIEVE IN GOOD THINGS HAPPENING,THIS LAW IS FOR UR PROVISION AND SURVIVAL ON THIS PLANET(what is fear but belief in evil,inverted faith)FAITH: FOR THE NEXT WORLD HEAVEN, THAT IS ACCEPTING JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOUR AND KNOWING YOUR ONLY PASSING THROUGH THIS PLANET

based on my understanding you can bless God

bless God and thank God (in Biblical context) is one and the same

You are an off shoot or offspring of God, so u are a god, but u occupy a container called your body.so u give ur heavenly father joy, by thanks giving or blessing His Holy NAME,imagine when ur younger ones or child shows u sincere appreciation or thanks for a gift they underservarable got from u...get?

dispensation of grace/gratitude/thanks giving/love/blessing/ all one and the same

All the good gifts you have in life are from GOD...man is merely a channel

God is everyman in disguise

God is on earth everyday though invincible,but resides in ALL men

In his fighting days during the 1980s and 1990s, Ghanaian boxing legend Azumah Nelson's thudding jabs and powerful overhands earned him the moniker "The Professor," named for the lessons he'd teach opponents inside the ring.

A former three-time world champion, Nelson is often described as the best boxer to come out of the African continent.

His daring feats inside the four corners of the ring made him a national hero in the West African country, while in 2004 "The Professor" became the first African to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Today, Nelson's nickname, the Professor has taken on new meaning as the former champion now spends his time teaching the secrets of boxing to a new generation of athletes.

"The Professor" has established the Azumah Nelson Foundation, a not-for-profit organization working to help Ghana's deprived youth realize their potential through education and sport."We opened the foundation to help the needy children," says Nelson. "We look at you, see your talent and put you there -- the school is there the most important [thing]."

Born in 1958, Nelson made his professional debut in 1979. He quickly became a household name in Ghana and went on to win the British Commonwealth's Featherweight title.

But despite his early success, Nelson was still unknown outside his country -- that changed, however, in June 1982 when he was given the chance to fight world Featherweight champion Salvador Sanchez at New York's Madison Square Garden.


Although Nelson lost the fight in the 15th round, his impressive performance against a formidable opponent such as Sanchez established him as a top talent in the international boxing scene.

Ghana’s hip life heavyweight Tinny has collaborated with Nigeria’s celebrated artiste Timaya in his upcoming single.

The new song, ‘New Chapter, will be released this week in Ghana and Nigeria.

The song has very interesting lines as the artistes tried to outshine each other. As fans are patiently waiting to hear the song, it is expected to keep both artistes relevant in the music industries of both countries.

It is the first time Tinny and Timaya are collaborating for their large fan base across Africa.

Timaya is a Port Harcourt born Nigerian musician and has not less than four albums to his credit. He is known for hit songs. He started out with a couple of early collaborations with some underground artistes and was a back-up singer for Eedris Abdulkareem. He was featured in an unreleased video by UDX, a rap group based in Lagos.

His first major hit was the song ‘Dem Mama’, an account of the 1999 destruction of Odi, a riverine community in the oil producing Niger Delta, by soldiers hunting down militants who were alleged to have killed eight policemen. The village was burnt down and numerous people killed.

Timaya bravely tackled the topic years later and won instant street credibility for his boldness. He is currently one of the reigning top artistes in Nigeria.

Tinny needs no introduction in Ghana’s music industry. He has also been in the game for long. Born Nii Addo Quaynor, he is a performer, producer, writer and rapper. He had smash hit with his ‘Makola Kwakwe’ album after his debut.

In 2007, Tinny was picked by MTV to have his video for ‘Incomplete’ shot by world renowned director Rachel Watanabe-Batton. This track was taken from his ‘Aletse Ogboo’ album.
