[ CELEBRITY BIRTHDAY] : "A Message From My Heart” – Read Nollywood StarMercy Johnson’s Special Birthday Message



Hurray!!! Nollywood Sexy Queen, Mercy Johnson is a year older today , and to celebrate another year, the movie star proves she has a heart of gold. Mercy released a special message to Urban Highlights to help children on the streets.
Read it here;
Today, I thought of many things I would love to have as birthday gifts and the many dreams I am still pursuing. In all of this I’m not losing sight of the fact that if not for God I might have ended up on the street like the many kids and young adults begging for food and some prostituting to make ends meet.
If we know the circumstances that force some of these people on the street, we would spare a thought for them. I am where I am today purely by the grace of God and the grace of people who believed in me from the word go.
Recently, I was at the Boys Reform Home, Oregun, Lagos, the discussion I had with the principal Mr. Kotun and much later with the Special Adviser in charge of al lremand homes in Lagos set me thinking about the boys and girls on the street. They have dreams too.
Can they fulfill those dreams on the street? The answer will likely be no; because I won’t be where I am today if I ended up on the street

Also, we found out that Ese walter is a blogger and she has been trying to gain traffic to her blog which has also failed.

Surely after this video, many will argue that perhaps all Ese Walter wanted was fame and popularity, she wanted to be a star, to be in the limelight, perhaps the reason why she forwarded the article about the sex scandal to the media. Although in her article she claimed that she was disturbed by the alleged sexual encounter with her pastor, the reason why she had to tell the world her story, we know better now.

NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS, Stella Damascus TEACHES WOMEN HOW TO keep Their Men ( READ )



             
I want to discuss today "keeping your man".This is for the married women o please this is not targeted at single girls. Now we know that the one thing men cannot live without apart from money is S&X. In this forum I really don't care where anyone is from or what religion you belong to, I will be as raw and honest as possible.  I do not understand why women especially Africans do not talk about sex when we know that it is the one thing we do regularly with so much pleasure.

Anyway our men love s&x to the max and we know that for a fact. So how come when we are dating them we are so willing to give them what they want even though we know it is wrong. The first few years of marriage is filled with sex almost five times a day in different parts of the house and at odd hours, but after the few years we start to back down, we start to make excuses, we start to see it as a chore and then we let them know that we are really not interested in them physically.
