2009 was the Biggest year for 9ice, That was the year when the Forever Biggest Album “Gongo Aso” was dropped.

9ice dished out over 12 Hit Tracks that kept the likes of 2Face, D’banj and other Big names in the industry back then on their Toes. He was relevant for more years releasing more Albums like Versus, Tradition, CNN and GRA.

He’s still among the List of Artistes with most Albums currently in the Industry but the Buzz about him and his song has reduced immensely.

9ice used to be among the Legendary stars making Nigeria and Africa at Large proud but lately he can’t even drop a song that can boast of 5,000 Downloads in 1 week.. So Sad

Believe me, The Talent is still there, but what I noticed was that the Fan based has reduced, probably Olamide and Reminisce can explain to us where 9ice’s fans are presently.

Songs like Aiye Familete Kintuto & Sugar still prove 9ice talents is very much Intact, just that the Fans are dancing to another person’s song..

Now the Big Question is, “If you’re 9ice’s New Manager, What Would You do to Make his Songs Relevant Again?”

i left my house to buy things, before i will be back i saw my dog and my child like this

Do nt forsake the gathering of brethrens as odas do... No matter wat try n go to church

Is for worshipping . God n for event centre

The fashionable church building is located in the
Southwest Coast Scenic Area in Taiwan. The huge
high-heel shoe is 17m high and 11m wide, and
made of 320 pieces of glass.
According to the administrative office of the
building, this church might look very stylish but it
also blends with tradition. In tradition, the bride
needs to wear high-heels to tread on tiles and then
throw away the shattered pieces before stepping
in the bridegroom’s family, which signifies the end to past misfortunes and the beginning of a better
life.
They decided to build a high-heel shoe-like church
for couples to get married and take wedding
photos. The church is expected to open in
February of this year during the annual Spring
Festival.
is amazing right

TEN REASONS MANY CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN
WORSHIP LEADERS ARE SPIRITUALLY BANKRUPT

The past several years there has been no
shortage of prominent contemporary Christian
leaders denouncing Christ either with their
words or their actions. One time I ministered to
a young man involved in the gospel music
scene, and he confided in me that he almost lost his faith because of what he experienced
when he went on tour with a band. (He said
other gospel music performers regularly
propositioned him!)

That being said, as a pastor and trans-local
minister for more than three decades, I have
come to the conclusion that many involved in
Christian worship seem to have a very
superficial relationship with the Lord and His
Church. (I thank God we have had a strong process for ministry involvement in our local
congregation. Hence, we usually have worship
leaders with a solid walk with the Lord.)

Also, I write this in the context as one who was
a professional musician who served on the
worship team of our local church for more than
twenty-five years.

The following are some of the reasons I believe why many worship performers are spiritually bankrupt:

(Based on my personal observation, not based
on hard data)

1. Many are hirelings and not committed members to one church.

I have been shocked and dismayed to see how
many large churches just hire out their worship
team members, even if they are not committed
Christians and/or committed to their local
church. Consequently, when a gifted singer or
musician first comes to Christ, they are sucked into a culture of play for pay and go where the
dollars are rather than where the Lord is truly
leading them.

2. Pastors do not enforce the same standards upon talented singers and musicians.

Many pastors turn the other way when it comes
to the immoral or unethical behavior of their
most talented musicians and singers. The
reason for this is obvious, these performers
help draw crowds into their congregation.

3. Often talented people get ahead without being deeply rooted in Christ.
Many people in this field find they get
promoted, idolized and celebrated in their
church merely because of their talent.
Consequently, they have a superficial lifestyle
and rarely see the need to die to self, seek God,
and allow God to penetrate their soul.

4. Gifted Christian performers are idolized in the church.
We, evangelicals, have created a culture of
entertainment that empowers and promotes
the most gifted among us. These very gifted
singers and performers are admired and
celebrated for their abilities in a way that is not
different from “The Voice” or “American Idol”. With all this adulation in the environment, it is
no surprise that many Christian bands and
performers are lifted up with pride and never
mature in their faith.

5. The focus of worship is more about them than about Jesus.

The church usually puts talented singers and
performers front and center during Sunday
services. Hence, a service is largely judged by
how good the band performed. This is the kind
of setting that engenders man worship instead
of Jesus worship. Worship leaders and performers often have big egos to match their
talent and many erroneously (subconsciously)
think that the service is all about them.

6. They often don’t sit under the Word after they perform.

I am amazed with how often I see many
worship team members leave the service after
they perform. I guess they think that the
highlight of the service was their performance
and everything else that ensues, including
preaching, is a letdown.

7. They perform but do not worship from the heart.
When the pastor and congregation only care
about the talent and effect of the worship
experience, they perpetuate a culture of
performance more than a culture of worship.
Consequently, band members and singers will
then focus more on performance than on worship. This result in band members
programmed to equate worship more with
performance than with drawing close to God.

8. They are overly sensitive and do not easily receive correction.

In my opinion, many in the music world are
overly sensitive, ego driven megalomaniacs. (I
know, because as a professional guitar player
for many years, I was or am guilty of this!)
Folks like this are very competitive and have a
hard time admitting they are wrong. This does not make it easy for a pastor to bring correction
to them since their identity is rooted more in
their ability than in their God.

9. They do not study the word but rely upon performance sessions in church for their walk.

Many years ago I was shocked to realize that
many of the worship leaders I got to know had
no prayer life and rarely cracked open the Bible
for personal study! Often, they depended upon
worship practice and/or the Sunday services to
try to connect with God. It alarmed me that many worship leaders were not themselves
worshippers!

10. They do not have a spiritually mature worship person leading the team.
All of the previous points mentioned could be
dealt with if the worship leader held them
accountable. Of course, this will only happen if
the worship leader is not a diva but a real
disciple of Christ. Leaders set the culture of a
team and if he or she is a spiritually immature “performer“, then most likely the whole team
will be more about performance than worship.

At some point in our lives, I’m sure we have said
this to ourselves, “I had a long saturday, I’ll just do
my sunday service in my Room” . Most times we are
too relaxed to go to church, some might say they
do not have an offering to give and cant afford to
not give anything when its offering time. And they just decide to stay back at home, sing, dance, Study,
listen to messages, listen to some songs. And then
after 3 hours, they say, yea I had my personal
service in my Room.

I think its Ok But not the Best, if we say it is, how
about the scripture that says ‘not forsaking the
assemblies of yourselves together’…

I opened this thread so we talk about it,
controversial comments are welcomed.
What do you think of personal sunday service in
your closet?

Can you give me your time? Yes you can.... What is restitution? This is restoring things to its formal state...or the restoration of something lost or stolen to its proper owner. Anything can be restored. Some things we denied its normal state in social network.... 1: you are 21yrs but you lied to the public in your profile that your age is 110, 55 or even reduced it please friends for no reasons u don't have to increase or reduce your age unlike footballers that reduces there ages, a 42 yrs old player claims he is 23 wrinkles has made his faces a living hell. 2: in your profile you claim to be a CEO of this and that... Let me tell you this are the main reasons why government are not providing employment how can 90% of youths says they are CEO, manager, director etc so whats the need of creating jobs is just a waste of money... Why these people who claims what they are not, hunger dey wire them more than the way it wired biafra and Nigerians soldiers during the civil war. Please restitute. 3: make-ups, tattoos are sinful. When you make-up; you tell God you are better than Him in creation. He is a jealous God, no wonder m.i says before he marries a fair lady he must see her child hood pics, ooh my gush this is unbearable. Guys and girls with tattoo claiming big-boy or maturity, my good friend is not maturity is stupidity, how can you draw snake, beast, flowers, symbols all over your body, this is madness, please restitute and change. 4: add yours...

THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF MARIJUANA by Maxwell Java Novel


The immediate effects of taking marijuana include rapid heartbeat, disorientation, lack of physical coordination, often followed by depression or sleepiness. Some users suffer panic attacks or anxiety.
But the problem does not end there. According to scientific studies, the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, remains in the body for weeks or longer.
Marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more cancer-causing substances than tobacco smoke. One major research study reported that a single cannabis joint could cause as much damage to the lungs as up to five regular cigarettes smoked one after another. Long-time joint smokers often suffer from bronchitis, an inflammation of the respiratory tract.
The drug can affect more than your physical health. Studies in Australia in 2008 linked years of heavy marijuana use to brain abnormalities. This is backed up by earlier research on the long-term effects of marijuana, which indicate changes in the brain similar to those caused by long-term abuse of other major drugs. And a number of studies have shown a connection between continued marijuana use and psychosis.

Marijuana changes the structure of sperm cells, deforming them. Thus even small amounts of marijuana can cause temporary sterility in men. Marijuana use can upset a woman’s menstrual cycle.
Studies show that the mental functions of people who have smoked a lot of marijuana tend to be diminished. The THC in cannabis disrupts nerve cells in the brain affecting memory.
Cannabis is one of the few drugs which cause abnormal cell division which leads to severe hereditary defects. A pregnant woman who regularly smokes marijuana or hashish may give birth prematurely to an undersized, underweight baby. Over the last ten years, many children of marijuana users have been born with reduced initiative and lessened abilities to concentrate and pursue life goals. Studies also suggest that prenatal (before birth) use of the drug may result in birth defects, mental abnormalities and increased risk of leukemia in children.
WHAT IS MARIJUANA?

Marijuana is the word used to describe the dried flowers, seeds and leaves of the Indian hemp plant. On the street, it is called by many other names, such as: astro turf, bhang, dagga, dope, ganja, grass, hemp, home grown, J, Mary Jane, pot, reefer, roach, Texas tea and weed.

Hashish is a related form of the drug, made from the resins of the Indian hemp plant. Also called chocolate, hash or shit, it is on average six times stronger than marijuana.
“Cannabis” describes any of the different drugs that come from Indian hemp, including marijuana and hashish.
Regardless of the name, this drug is a hallucinogen—a substance which distorts how the mind perceives the world you live in.
The chemical in cannabis that creates this distortion is known as “THC.” The amount of THC found in any given batch of marijuana may vary substantially, but overall, the percentage of THC has increased in recent years.
How is it used?

Marijuana is a mixture of dried-out leaves, stems, flowers and seeds of the hemp plant. It is usually green, brown or gray in color.

Hashish is tan, brown or black resin that is dried and pressed into bars, sticks or balls. When smoked, both marijuana and hashish give off a distinctive, sweet odor.
Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the world. A survey conducted in 2007 found that 14.4 million individuals in the US alone had smoked marijuana at least once during the previous month.
Marijuana is usually smoked as a cigarette (joint), but may also be smoked in a pipe. Less often, it is mixed with food and eaten or brewed as tea. Sometimes users open up cigars and remove the tobacco, replacing it with pot—called a “blunt.” Joints and blunts are sometimes laced with other, more powerful drugs, such as crack cocaine or PCP (phencyclidine, a powerful hallucinogen).
When a person smokes a joint, he usually feels its effect within minutes. The immediate sensations—increased heart rate, lessened coordination and balance, and a “dreamy,” unreal state of mind—peak within the first 30 minutes. These short-term effects usually wear off in two to three hours, but they could last longer, depending on how much the user takes, the potency of THC and the presence of other drugs added into the mix.
As the typical user inhales more smoke and holds it longer than he would with a cigarette, a joint creates a severe impact on one’s lungs. Aside from the discomfort that goes with sore throats and chest colds, it has been found that consuming one joint gives as much exposure to cancer-producing chemicals as smoking five cigarettes.
The mental consequences of marijuana use are equally severe. Marijuana smokers have poorer memories and mental aptitude than do non-users.
Animals given marijuana by researchers have even suffered structural damage to the brain.

Musicians, American presidents, street vendors, lawyers, doctors, actors all smoke weed. 98% of humans smoke weed. people smoke weed when they still knows the negative side of it.

Does masturbation have negative effects? Scientists published this very revealing graph in the Archives of Sexual Behavior here. You can see that as masturbation increases the satisfaction with life decreases. The more a person masturbates the more dissatisfied a person may become. This leads to depression, unhappiness, lack of motivation, and other problems.

If masturbation is so healthy as so many claim then why are so many people complaining of pain and negative effects from masturbating? Religion has nothing to do with it because even non religious people experience the same pains and negative side effects.We live in a world where it is perfectly okay to say that masturbation gives one pleasure and relieves stress but if you say that masturbation gives you aches and pains then you are seen as some sort of victim of conscious or subconscious religious voodoo brainwashing. One Yahoo post here explains this point nicely by saying:

"...People often claim that any perceived decrease in concentration, memory, and motivation is simply a psychological effect caused by guilt. But this implies that "it's all in your head" and thus purely imaginary. However, as Dumbledore said, "Of course it's happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real." Yes, I know the context is off, but the point is nevertheless true: why should our self-perceptions of memory, consciousness, and focus be any less real just because they're intangible? There are still action potentials, neurotransmitters, and synaptic connections in the brain being made constantly as a result of environmental influences, chemical intake, and, of course, the act of thinking. So if I am aware of my concentration and short-term memory being worse, then they actually are, at least for a day or so until they revert back to what is "normal" for me. It isn't "all" in my head (though it is happening in my brain), it really is happening--it just isn't perceivable through any of the 5 senses.

So now we've established that masturbating to ejaculation can cause temporary negative side effects in the brain. Well, isn't the brain the most important organ of the body? And if someone experiences these effects after each ejaculation yet masturbates to ejaculation every day, a temporary effect can become quite harmful...."
What this person correctly pointed out is that both pleasure and pain take place in the brain. If you masturbate without a brain you will get no pleasure and if you burn your hand on a hot stove without a brain you will feel no pain. As pleasure is subjective so is the pain. Doctors, counselors, psychiatrists, and other health professionals often receive complaints from people who masturbate of the following list of negative side effects:


Difficulty in performing real sexual intercourse
Fatigue, Tiredness
Stress
Weak erection
Headache
Premature ejaculation
Semen leakage
Reduced orgasm
Loss of sex drive towards the opposite sex
Interest in Homosexuality, Transgender
Loss of memory
Lower back pain
Impotence
Anxiety
Mood swings
Insomnia
Lack of concentration, Brain Fog
Increased feelings of Loneliness, Shyness, and Desire for isolation
Increased feelings of Guilt
Depression, Less Happiness
Loss of motivation
Suicidal thoughts and tendencies




To read a list of negative effects in published scientific medical journals check out Is Masturbation Healthy? The Science says No.

The negative side effects of masturbation are real. There are physical laws that govern the health of your body, brain, and nervous system. It does not matter if you are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or secular, violating those laws will produce a guaranteed result. Every day people share their testimonies here about how masturbation has affected their life. The truth is that masturbation is unhealthy but people want to hear good things about their bad habits so they try so hard to numb their conscience with absurd justifications like “it’s normal” and “everybody does it.” 70 years ago they said the same thing about cigarettes, “Hey smoking is healthy, See, everyone else is doing it."
Little innocent children are being fed lies with their french fries in the public fool system. The beauty and benefits of self-control, self-regulation, and fulfilling relationships with the opposite sex are hidden from them. There are now seven, eight, and nine year old girls and boys becoming addicted to porn and masturbation. Once those neural pathways are established in the brain it is almost impossible to break away from these habits. As surely as night follows day those habits bring consequences and the addicted one spends the rest of his life looking for help in all the wrong places. However, nobody needs to give up hope. The tips outlined in How to Stop Masturbation help people to increase their self-control.
