VSIX OPEN LETTER TO LYDIA OGAH ON HER BIRTHDAY

Dear lydia Ogah
How can you describe someone you havnt seen before? someone you havnt heard her voice before? or someone you dont even have any relationship with?. I guess this might probably be the questions that will be going through your mind,if you have to read this letter without me answering these questions.

No doubt,I dont know you personally(yet). We probably havnt met before,infact I dont even know your name,not until my Friend,Brother and Mentor Olu Joshua told me about you.

Most times if you want to judge the quality of a child,you need to look at the quality of friends he hang-out with or people they hold dear to there heart. This is what am judging from. You are a "Special" friend to someone I hold so dear to my heart,someone that has proven himself worthy of emulation and trustworthy.

As an Entertainment journalist/­broadcaster am meant to keep tab on celebrity both in Nigeria and the world at large. In pairing the list of the great celebrities from various works of life celebrating there birthday today May 22nd 2013, I realise you are one of the world finest thats celebrating her birthda too..
I thought of word to use in defining you,I thought of tone/mood to use in writing this note, I even thought of where to start and where to end.Then I realise begining with my Perception of you(even though we havnt met physically) wont be a bad idea.

Olu joshua defines you to me as being"Different among all ladies in his life", he went further to say, you are very special to him. When he was saying this in an interview I had with him, I was busy looking into him through his eyes,I saw a deep passion and sincerity in his heart.Base on what I saw when he was talking to me on that interview, I concluded that you must be a "Woman of substance" and "The Pride of a Man"

Birthday do come once in a year. May 22nd has from today made a special day of mine because my special friend does have his special friend birthday *wink*

The truth is,if you reading this letter then that means you are really special as he told me.
I'm at an high pitch to see you someday, to see your charming face and hear that voice of yours. You can only imagine the kind of unfadable image I have of you now and also he charistmatic ideas and personality I have heard about you. I cant wait to experience it all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA OGAH. I join the world celebrite you today.

"I know why actors are dying in Nollywood" - Prophet Chris Okafor

Prophet Chris Okafor is the General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry. Below is what he told an Encomium magazine reporter about the recent deaths in Nollywood

"This year I gave a prophecy concerning the entertainment industry that there is going to be series of death, and they never asked me for a solution. One problem is that they like to go to churches where they do paparazzi and the rest. They don't want to come to the truth and that is why they are dying this way. If they come to me, I will tell them the mystery why people are dying in Nollywood just like I've been able to tell Nigerians why electricity can't be stable in Nigeria. I know why they are dying. Let them come to me"
