JESUS TRYING TO SAVE THE HEROES
I noticed one thing about Jesus, he ate and drank with the prostitutes and tax collectors but went to the temple to preach to the Pharisees & Sadducees. Normally, you would think it should be the other way round but no. Jesus clearly stated that the harlots will get to heaven before the Pharisees. Does this mean that God loves sinners more than righteous people. Yes, because sinners are sincere. They accept that they are not worthy but the so called righteous ones are always claiming that they are holy and pure. Instead of praying for forgiveness for their sins, they hide it and say "God, I at least I am better than that that man/woman" pointing at the next man. This is why God hates self righteousness and will break the so called righteous until he accepts that he is nothing.
You can't be something until you agree you are nothing,
You cant be righteous until you agree you are a sinner,
you can't be God until you agree you are man
You can't be a hero until you agree you are a villian.

JESUS >>> BUDDHA
Alex Anda
Being an ascetic doesn't mean you are holy. It means you are afraid to enjoy the creation of God. It means you are still Adamic , ignorant of the beauty all around you. That is why I love Jesus and feel he is more spiritual than Buddha. Jesus was called a glutton, a womaniser and every other names because he understood that you can be holy and still enjoy the beautiful things in life. Jesus was surrounded by beautiful women, food, drinks and men from different works of life. It is duality that makes us think that one thing is holy while another thing is not. When God created the earth and looked at it and saw that it was good. This video is disturbing. Somebody should get him the best of clothes and feed him well. And people should stop worshipping him, he is not God. God is within each and everyone of us. We should look inwards and not outwards.

SAVE DRAG QUEENS FROM THE CHILDREN
Alex Anda
They edited the video so in the end it looks like the kids were in support. The kids were roasting him at the beginning of the video. I love children. They are brutal and honest. And that's what gay people need to hear. The brutal and honest. We need to stop feeding into the delusions all in the name of being politically correct. Why are you trying to be what you are not? Why cant you love yourself? We know we are not always born perfect but their is perfection in our imperfections. You are the gender you are born as. Learn to love the gender you are born as. You have a penis, learn to enjoy the vagina and insert it inside. You have a vagina, learn to accept the penis . It is how it is. Stop trying to twist reality to fit your fuck up idea or agenda. And y'all trying to indoctrinate children is where it will really backfire cos children have a pure heart and can see through the bullshit. If adults can't say the truth because they are trying to be politically correct, children will tell you as it is right in your face.
Thats why I love children.

CHESS
Alex Anda
I am not saying God is the devil or the devil is God but have you seen anywhere in the bible where God was attacking/fighting the devil?
Even when the devil caused a mutiny in heaven, it was Angel Michael and the other angels that fought him.
Even when the devil 'decieved' Adam & Eve, the so called curse God gave him as a purnishment was just a slap on the wrist.
An all knowing God created an opponent so he can play a game.
Nobody enjoys playing Chess alone.

CONFIDENCE: THE KEY TO 'RUING' THE WORLD
Alex Anda
I was listening to Ruger's latest album RU TO THE WORLD and had a smile pasted on my face all through.
He gets it.
This youngin' has discovered an ancient secret to success and he is using it. He will go far musically.
What is the secret?
CONFIDENCE.
Ruger has confidence.
You can hear it in his sound and his lyrics. Even in his personality. Everybody knows not to mess with Ruger, he will confidently come for you with his sniper precise snide remarks. Ask Buju BNXN.
At a time when artistes while making albums try to incorporate different sounds so as to appeal to a wider audience, Ruger's sticks to his guns: his dancehall vibe and sex-laced lyrics. That takes a confidence you won't find even in veteran dancehall-esque artistes like Burnaboy, Timaya & PatoRanking who are always quick to make a wide varieties of sounds in different genre for the projects. Ruger by confidently sticking to his dancehall sound in Ru To The World has cemented himself as the biggest dancehall artiste in Africa and that is a huge opportunity for him given that Afrobeat is now making a headway in Jamaica and the islands. I recently saw a tweet by kranium saying he will listen to RU TO THE WORLD.They too can see it that he is a threat to them. Music is now global and there are no more boundaries where one's music cannot get to. I won't be surprised if RU THE WORLD tops not just the chart in Jamaica and the Islands but also does major damage even in their streets and their club. Because for many years dancehall-esque artistes like Burnaboy, Timaya & PatoRanking have tried to break into the Island music scenes with promotions and collaborations but have been unable to because fans of Reggae/Dancehall are purist who have a cult like following for their faves. They won't take you seriously as a dancehall artiste if your track one is dancehall and your track two is highlife. They will not just skip the song but they will skip the project. This is why as a fan of dancehall music in any part of the world, you won't skip Rugers debut album; it is a standard dancehall album. Asides 'Nine' which has Amapiano beat(he still retains his dancehall flow) and the fact that Ruger had a little bit of yoruba and pidgin(which doesn't mean), the album could have been done by a Jamaican artiste.
Ruger also confidently holds his own on the tracks with the Caribbean collaborations on the album (Stefflon Don & Projexx) and doesn't play second fiddle to them.
So, you can see the album was well AnRed to take over the dancehall scene in the world. Kudos to DPrince and Jonzing World team.
If Ruger continues in this momentum, I forsee him becoming an African born worldwide dancehall legend like the likes of Lucky Dube and Majek Fashek.
Reggae/Dancehall music is coming back home to its roots.

THE A IN AI STANDS FOR ASSISTANT
Alex Anda
AI is not meant to replace the brain. It’s meant to assist mankind.People using AI to do all the work are under utilizing it.
AI is like what Jarvis is to Iron Man. They were partners in his lab. Bouncing ideas off each other and building great things.
To really be able to use you properly, you have to be creative yourself.
No doubt AI will shake up the game but it’s not the first time the game has been shaken. The internet shook the game, cars shook the game, phone shook the game etc Every great invention shakes the game for the status quo.
Kudos to all those who worked to give us AI.
Cheers to a game changer!

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
Alex Anda
Are you really having a good time or do you just have a really good camera? Instead of people focusing on the occasion, you will see them snaping selfies and pictures that they plan to upload on social media.They miss out on moments just so they can have pictures to share to people.Why not enjoy the moment and forget about showing people who aren’t there.All in the name of content creator, we ourselves aren’t enjoying the content.We are starving ourselves to feed strangers on the internet.

REASONS WHY A MAN SHOULD NEVER BEG FOR SEX
Tumblr media
Women act as if it is only men that enjoy sex.
It's a lie and a trick to make men beg and pay for sex.
Any man who can stand his ground, hold his body and not beg for sex, it is women will be the ones begging him.
Guys, try it and see.
Men are the price.
1.There are less men and more women in the world(so we are hot cake)
2.Men have more money than women
3.Men are more beautiful than women.
4.Men are stronger than women.

IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE
Alex Anda
Study to show thy self approve.
Read a book.
Even if it feels like you want to die, hold it and read it sentence by sentence.
Find a book on a topic that you like. There are books for any topic. If you like gossiping, look for a book on gossiping.
In life, you can't be ignorant.
Knowledge is power.
What you don't know will affect you!
There is this general saying that "What you don't know will not affect you", the reverse is the case "What you don't know will affect you"
So, save yourself and get knowledge.
Just Google can save your life.
Be inquisitive. Try to get knowledge for yourself. Don't be always waiting on people to tell you things. Find out for yourself.

SPARTANS, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?
Alex Anda
For 10years I was working shitty jobs just to earn a living while my creativity and talent was suffering. I was afraid to risk hunger to focus on my art. Most of the greatest creatives of all time like Van Gogh had to live in poverty so they can create their masterpiece. They refused to get a job to support their art. Most times, a side hustle has a way of diluting your creativity. You can't compare a full time pastor and a pastor that has a day job. In the past few days, I have focus 100% of my creativity. And God! I am the happiest person in the world. I hope to continue doing only what I love till i leave this reality.

BRICS DON'T WANT NIGERIA
Alex Anda
The BRICS have decided to invite 6 new nations to join their alliance and the African dwarf, Nigeria is angry that she wasn’t invited. The most populated black nation is thinking of lobbying to be included in the alliance of nations. But if I might ask, what is Nigeria bringing to the table? If Nigeria would be an asset to the organization of nation, they will surely have invited her. But nobody wants a liability in their camp. It will do more harm than good.I will advice Nigeria to have shame and let it go that they were not invited and instead grovelling and begging to be added, she should instead work on becoming at least a regional leader economically, politically or otherwise.

INVESTMENT
Alex Anda
What you sow is what is you reap is not just a biblical quote, it's a prosperity principle.
It's asking what are your investments?
Investment is not just about money.
Your can invest Time, Skill, Mind & People
How are you investing your time?
That talent that you have, how are you investing it?
What are you investing into your mind?
How are you investing in your friends are family? Are you empowering them so that they can also empower you too?
Or you are still complaining that you don't have money to invest?
Dey there dey wait for money.

TURN THE STONE TO BREAD
David wanted to be king, God gave him Goliath.
Joseph wanted to the star of his family, God allowed him to be sold as a slave.
Abraham wanted to be the father of all nation, God told him to sacrifice his only son.
God will give you anything you ask him but before he will give you, he will give you a challenge that will test you, try you and train you so that you can be able to manage the thing you want him to give you.

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING?
Alex Anda
Don't let what you are seeing around you diminish your vision.
At the Red Sea, The Israelite were seeing death, Moses was seeing total freedom from their enemies
When Goliath came, The Israelite saw doom, David saw an opportunity to showcase his talent.
We are all looking at the same thing but What are you seeing ?
The glass is either half empty or half full. The choice is yours.

CRAYON'S TRENCH TO TRIUMPH & THE NAMING CEREMONY OF ISAAC
Alex Anda
When I first heard the title of CRAYON'S debut album, TRENCH TO TRIUMPH, even before listening to it, what first came to my mind was Wande Coal's 2009 album MUSHIN TO MOHIT & 2baba's 2006 album GRASS TO GRACE. They have the same concept for their title. An artiste realising that he or she is blown. It is a beautiful feeling especially for artistes signed to major record labels. There is nothing as sad as when an artiste has been given the platform and resources to succeed but flounders. Those artiste exist in a limbo. They are neither upcoming nor blown. They are stuck in between worlds. That's why when these artiste finally blow for them, it's like the naming ceremony of Isaac, with them being Abraham and Sarah. The seige is over and what is left is to give thanks and beat up one chest as crayon does in Modupe and The One respectively. TRENCH TO TRIUMPH might not be as great as MUSHIN TO MOHITS or GRASS TO GRACE( Those albums are among the Canons of Afrobeat) but it is a very good album though the best tracks are the ones he put out as singles. My guy didn't want to take any chances. He wanted to consistently drop hit after hit after the MAVIN posse cut OVERDOSE, a smash hit where Crayon cemented his status as Captain Hook. The point of this write up is to congratulate Crayon on his breakthrough because it's official, Crayway don blow!!!!!! He might not yet be among the top3 Afrobeat artistes but if he keeps on pushing and improving on this debut, it is just a matter of time before he becomes Alist and probably even win a Grammy(I assure you, it's not far fetched).

WHEN GOD SAID “IT IS NOT GOOD FOR MAN TO BE ALONE", HE WASN’T TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP
Alex Anda
My opinion. I feel when God said in Genesis 2: 18....
“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
"he wasn’t talking about marriage, I feel he was talking about friendship and companionship.
I feel those concepts(friendship and companionship) transcends marriage. But some people who believe if God wasn’t talking about marriage and just wanted Adam to have a friend/companion, he would have created another man and not a woman. You got me there abi? No. You didn’t.
Asides from the fact that having a male and female will populate the human species, I don’t think it makes any difference if he created a man or woman. Wait! Is that a rainbow flag I see waving in the air? LoL. Relax, LGBTQers that’s not what I meant.
Yes. God needed to create a woman so the human will continue but that was a added(though important) service. The main reason was friendship and companionship. I have heard the statement many times that a man and woman can’t be just friends.
I won’t totally deny that whether we like it or not , when a man and woman is close with a woman there might arise sexual and emotional reasons. That shouldn’t mean Men and Women can’t be friends. My best friend is a woman and we have been friends for more than ten years.
Dont ask if we have ever had sexual or emotional tension,it’s none of your business LOL.The point is our friendship has outlived most of my male friendship. Here’s to more years of friendship,Michaela Coel The second(thats what I call her cos she’s Michaela coel’s doppelganger ).
So, let’s break the idea that a man can’t be friends with a woman. I feel that’s the reason why most relationship don’t work. Okay, take a look at relationship that are working, that you admire and you will see that man and the woman have the aura of friends.
They play and joke with each other. No gender roles,no head of the family role,no submission roles. Because friends don’t head or submit to each other,its a level playing field.Dont get me wrong,I am not saying dating your bestie guarantees that you will have a good relationship
all I am saying is that, friendship must be the bedrock of every relationship and marriage. That’s why it baffles when some women reject advances with "I can’t date you, I see you my friend" as if it’s their enemies they date. Some do date their enemies. Just as some fear that relationship will spoil friendship,others fear that the over familiarity of friendship will ruin the romance of relationship.With the mystic gone,they believe the love will die.I don’t think so.Yes,its risky especially if the person doesnt really love you.That’s why, it’s important you start with friendship so that every rash, steaming emotion can die and only real emotion will remain.This write up is not me joining the 'Marry your friend ' troupe.Cos it doesn’t always work out fine.All I am saying is be friends with who you marry.Yes,marry your friend is different from be friend with who you marry.The world needs more genuine friendship.That was what God had in mind.Friendship between man and man,woman and woman, man and woman.If sex comes into the equation thats a plus. *rub palms together & licks lips* lol
