Speaking as a Guest speaker at the Eve secondary school series today, Nollywood actress, Annie Idibia revealed she once sold pepper soup with her mother to make hands meet.

The mother of two and wife of the famous superstar singer 2face Idibia urged the crowd of students not to give up on their dreams, stating that..

"I want you all to follow your dreams. I don't want you to feel like the next person is more privileged than you and use that as an excuse for failure. I had no break time when I was in secondary school because I had to go to the market during breaks to buy pepper soup things from the market and put in the fridge for my mom to cook and sell in the evening. And after school I would assist her in selling. I had to do that because that was how I and my brothers school fees were paid. Today I am living my dream."

The event which held at Terra Kulture, was powered by Metro Fm and tagged #YourDreamsOurReality

How many ladies will allow their bae leave a great job in the states to come to Nigeria in the bid to fulfill his passion at a time when others were running out?

This is a touching story for our ladies to take a cue from and understand that most great men have passed through terrible times and im so positive that if he has had a lady stood by him during his hard days,he won't be confused as to which lady to marry because most of our stars are happily married to their long time girlfriends.


Story By Banky.W

The morning of Jan 1st 2009 was one of the worst of my life. I went to Church the night before to pray in the new year... and there I poured my heart out to God. You see, i moved back to Lag on Feb 14th 08. It was a tough decision quitting my well-paid engineering job in nyc and moving back, but I felt incomplete and unfulfilled. That decision however, led to a tough year. I had gained some small popularity in music, but fame comes way before fortune in my line of work.

So yes there were videos on tv, but I was flat out broke. I'd spent all my savings on my music business.. I was driving a beat down car that broke down on every possible major road in Lagos, and I had resorted to "borrowing" 5k from my manager weekly, to fuel my car and buy recharge cards. I'd started second guessing my decision. Shld I have moved back at all? Shld I have listened to folks and stayed in nyc? It was hard. I wasn't getting any show bookings, infact Segun & I used to show up to events wayyy early just to make sure we could get inside, and times without number we wld beg & plead to get 5 mins to perform on shows only to get turned down. I was frustrated. Why wasn't my music working here? Why couldnt ppl see what we saw?

Maybe I wasnt meant to be here? And then after church that morning, I got accosted by armed robbers, driven around on the joy-ride-from-hell, roughed up, and robbed of everything on me. Phones, money, jewelry, ipod, hat, shoes, u name it. They kept threatening to shoot me, but I just kept praying psalm 91 and somehow I made it home to Segun's house in one piece. And while I was grateful to be alive, I sunk into further depression. For a week plus I wouldn't leave my room. I felt like my whole world had come crashing down, and like I had nothing to show for all my effort and prayers. And then Segun walked into my room and said "hey bro.. I know it's really bad right now. But the good news is, this is rock bottom. U have hit it, and ur still alive. It can only get better from here, but U can't let it defeat U. U gotta get up, dust it off, and channel all that nervous energy into making music again!!" I was in shock..

I was in shock. How did he expect me to just shake everything off just like that? My mental state was a total mess. I didn't have a penny to even pay for the studio time, and even my car had been bashed. I said "bro even if I want to record, how would I pay for it?" He asked who I'd wanna work with and I said Cobhams. He asked me to find out how much it would cost... I did. The next day he walked into my room with the entire amount in full that he had borrowed from someone. Plus extra for cab fare.

I paid for the Cobhams sessions, and the very first song we created was "Strong Ting".. till date one of my biggest hits in Africa. The requests for performances started coming.. I started actually receiving airplay. Ppl finally started understanding me and my music, and better yet, they ACTUALLY liked it! My life changed from that moment and so did my finances.


God has used Segun to guide, direct, help, support and save me on too many occasions. I want to wish my big brother and role model a veryyyy happy birthday, and pray for him that he and his family will never know lack in Jesus name. For the seeds of kindness, love and support he has sown in my life and many others, may God bless him and every generation born of him. I love you forever, and I look up to you.

I shared this particular story because I also want to encourage y'all. I know life can be hard and harsh, but don't give up hope after the darkest of nights, because your morning is right around the corner.

Our company folded up and was closed down without payment of some months salary, let alone paying off. Since then it's not been easy financially and otherwise while seriously looking for job.

The one that surpises me is some friends' attitude since i am jobless.These are people when we were doing well in our office, we mingled together etc, but since the jobless saga started, many of them started disssociating themselves.They wont visit you as usual, they can't even give you a call, most time when you call them, they won't even pick your calls after seeing many missed calls from you on their phone but that wasn't the case when things were okay.

Telling them about helping you in search of jobs seems like a disturbance, many of them you will forward your cv to, will simply ignore making efforts while claiming as if they are doing anything on it. You will be seeing yourself as an abandoned fellow.The story is endless.

I begin to ask, are these as a result of wrong friends or normal thing. Advise or share your experience.

NORTHERNERS ARE EASY GOING PEOPLE AND THEIR LIFE IS SO SIMPLE AND LESS MATERIALISTIC. THEY ARE HARDLY INVOLVED IN CRIMES AND ARE ALWAYS CONTENTED IN ANY SITUATION THEY FIND THEMSELVES. IMAGINE AN IGBO MAN IN THAT SAME IDP, HIS THOUGHT WILL BE HOW TO SELL FAKE DRUGS TO EVERY ONE THERE OR HOW TO CARRY DRUGS TO ASIA TO MAKE FAST MONEY. I PREFER TO LIVE WITH HAUSAS IN THE SOUTHWEST THAN THOSE HATE FILLED BIAFRANS.

There’s this girl in my department, same level. We’re very good friends who flirt a lot and equally share the same dreams.

In fact, most of the activities we’ve carried out in school were all her ideas. She’s just all over me and attached herself so much in my future. She sometimes jokingly says she wants to marry me. People recommended that we are going to make a good couple. So, I then thought of all of these and how compatible we are, I then took the bold step to ask her out. She only responded that she has a boyfriend and we should drop the dating discussion for now since we’re still best of friends and we have
enough time to talk about it. I dropped it. After sometimes, she started complaining that she doesn’t like my being strange. I told her I loved her so much, she replied via chat “I understand but I love my boyfriend, he’s the best part of me”.

Please help me with what to do. I love her and I want to marry her. She knows but the only challenge now is her boyfriend.

What should I do?

hi guys
I have been dating my fiance for 3 years now. in the beginning everything was cool until recently. about a month ago I found condoms an empty pack of condoms in his bag,I confronted him about it and he told me he saw the pack on the floor and he liked the colour of the pack so he picked it up.
I let it go because I didn't want to upset him since he started getting upset.
fast forward to today,I was looking for change in his bag and this time I found 3 different brands of unused condoms in his bag
I didn't say anything and I won't say anything. am hurt and crying inside.I just don't understand what he wants again. I hate him so much right now. please my sisters I need a coping mechanism until am safely far from him. sorry about my epistle. I needed to let it out

Hello everyone, without wasting much of your time, I'll just go straight to the point.
There is this close friend of mine with this severe mouth and body odor (so bad that I sometimes have to hold my breath anytime he's around and we're talking). I've sincerely endured us having close talks for like 3 months since we became friends. Most times, when he ask to see me maybe for a hangout or something, I refuse, giving him one excuse or the other. Now he's beginning to feel bad and see it as me not wanting to come around him. His girlfriend is also a close friend and confided in me about wanting to quite the relationship because she can't stand the whole smell from his body and mouth each time they're behind close doors. My question now is, Is there any polite way of telling him his breath and body stinks without hurting his feelings?? If possible, I need advice on how to go about this whole thing and come out as not be rude and insulting. Thanks.

I am just saying. Shout out to all the virgins out there. Even though the konji is strong, we are still holding on to our pride, we are not letting it go.

Because others are doing it does not make it right. Keeping your virginity is the right thing to do, forget what these non virgins say to you. No shaking.

Getting traffic for your blog is a challenging task, especially if your blog is a new one, unless you’re prepared to spend money on advertisement.

Knowing that you’re the only reader of your blog is somehow heartbreaking and makes you wanna give up. The truth is that, you can never make a dime from a blog without traffic. But before you think of giving up, there are actually ways you can get traffic on your blog for free. Yes free! And legally of course.

In this post, I’ll be showing you 10 free ways to get more traffic to your blog. Read on

[size=13pt]1. Site optimization[/size]
Traffic from search engines are the best. If done properly, site optimization will work wonder on your blog. Though optimizing your blog for search engines is one of the hardest method of getting free traffic, but making use of plugins like WordPress SEO by Yoast (only WordPress users). That’s one of the advantages of using WordPress for blogging.

[size=13pt]2. Fresh and valuable contents[/size]
According to Google, “keep it fresh and relevant”. People will check back on your blog if they enjoy your posts to see if you published a new post. That is why you must always update your blog. If they frequently check your, but the last post is still the same, they may never come back again. To make this system work for you, you should regularly give your readers interesting and valuable content.

[size=13pt]3. Free Product or service offering[/size]
People love free stuff. You can give out free eBooks or host a giveaway. This has been one of the effective ways to get free traffic. It will bring you loyal visitors and increase your traffic if you do it regularly. If you are offering a free eBook, it must be related to your niche else it won’t work,

[size=13pt]4. Posting on Forums[/size]
Most forums allow signature, if you know what I mean. You can use this to your advantage by placing a link back to your blog. With this style you can build a big list of followings because if you solve one or the query on the web people have a tendency to click on the URL in your signature to know more about you and hence can know about your website and start following you. Almost all blog owners on NairaLand uses this method.

[size=13pt]5. Guest posting on high traffic blogs[/size]
If you give one of the best content to others it can make your website rank go up as it not only drives traffic towards your website but also establishes you as a serious folk in Blogging arena. Make sure you target a high ranking blog with massive traffic in your niche.

[size=13pt]6. Responsiveness[/size]
Your blog should be mobile friendly to give easy access to mobile users. The web is going mobile. More and more people browse the web with their phone. If your blog is not responsive, you are sending visitors and your prospective customers away.

[size=13pt]7. Social Media[/size]
If all you do with Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and the likes is chatting and viewing pictures, then you’re wasting your time. Or you only use YouTube for watching and downloading videos, it will never benefit you. Make good use of your time today and start promoting your blog on social media.

[size=13pt]8. Commenting on other blogs[/size]
Find popular blogs in your niche and post relevant and helpful comments on the posts. But instead of linking your name to your blog’s homepage, link to your post on related content. This way when they click through, they are immediately on a highly relevant page that they are interested in. And because they read your comment, which was useful and unique, they already think of you as an authority.

[size=13pt]9. Respond to comments of your posts[/size]
Person who is writing a comment on your website is spending some time with your website and hence is sharing experience appreciate people for thoughts and do comment back also you can visit their websites and mark few comments. Be honest while responding on your website or writing comment on others website to make sure you are not ending up on people’s spams.

Link out to others in your posts and they will take notice of you, most of them will tweet about your post at the very least. Some of them will even link back to you. This is a easy and free way to get traffic. Just don’t forget about your readers and make sure that the links are relevant.

On my own point of view,

* If you marry a beautiful woman, there are two things evolve; is either other men will be disturbing or ur woman will not hv respect for you (bcus other men dey pursue her).

* But if u marry ugly woman, there is one thing evolve; you are safe & secure (because no virus of a man will look ur wife's face twice talk more of chasing her).
