Unbelievable Photo of Twin Strangers


Two ladies were shocked when they bumped into each other ..Ciara Murphy and Cordelia Roberts were both studying in Germany and sheer coincidence, the two were both studying in the city of Bremen when friends pointed out their remarkable similarity. Murphy, from Ireland said 
"When I was going on nights out, people were starting to ask me did I come here with a sister, or a twin,". “I didn't know what they were talking about in the beginning, so I was just like 'No I'm completely on my own out here.'But then after a while I realized they were talking about Cordelia."
Roberts, from England, had an experience similar 
“On one night out, people kept saying ‘Are you sisters?’ and that was when we decided to take a photo,"
The picture the pair snapped together went viral on Facebook, and Twin Strangers tracked them down for a chat.
Murphy's friend Jessica said the pair now go everywhere together.

Lessons From Linda Ikeji



According to reports, she just got a house at banana Island and all hell has been let loose since then. People whose are obviously jobless are trying so hard to dismiss the report, some are throwing the marriage angle at her, while others are busy throwing different shades at her..

While they do all these, Cash is rolling into her account and she is living the life of her dream.

Have we all observed a trend? When someone becomes successful in a chosen career 
Path, people tend to find ways to question, dismiss, throw negative criticism and jibes, talk about their personal life, religious affiliation/background, relationship , lifestyle ...all in a bid to bring them down for just no apparent reason.

While some people may frown at her news gathering techniques, plagiarism issues (which I believe she has gotten a hold on) and others , I believe that despite all these short comings, there are lessons to be learnt from Linda Ikeji

- whatever you honestly enjoy doing, as long as it doesn't constitute a nuisance to others , as long as it is legal, keep doing it against all hatred or disregard. Someday you will be rewarded consciously or unconsciously 

- there will always be setbacks and days you will feel like giving up...but it shouldn't be an option anyways. Linda blogged for 7 years before she got her needed break

- Walking an unknown road need lots of courage and perseverance. When she started blogging, it was new to Nigerians and many didn't understand the blogosphere world. It never stopped her from walking through uncharted road. She began a new dawn and popularized blogging in Nigeria or should I say Africa. Now everyone wants to blog, everyone wants to be rich and successful like Linda but no one wants to pay the price in tears and hardwork.

- Failure at an attempted endeavor does not make you a total waste of human space. Remember she was a failed model before she ventured into blogging. Her failure didn't deter her from trying something entirely different and making a name out of it.

- When your hardwork finally begins to pay for off, expect big stones to be hurled at you from people. They will pelt you with hurtful words, blackmail, threaten, criticize negatively.. Success comes with a price. For you to stay up there, you have to develop a thick skin and be as stubborn as the mule; the mule is a stubborn, self centered animal who is only concerned with his own interest. Don't try to prove yourself to a small fry.

Don't waste your time trying to prove yourself to 'people' who constantly attempt undermine your efforts. Instead focus your eyes on climbing to the top and gaining the support of people that matter who can help you on your journey as you rise.

...
People will ask you silly questions, try to water down your efforts, try to make you feel you have wasted time and efforts on something you believe so much in.

Such questions come from persons who are jealous. Jobless with low or little self esteem, seeking to pull you down for cheap popularity or because they failed to achieve the same level of such as you.

Be unstoppable 

Remember that mockery and criticism cannot stop an idea or dream that will succeed. Your job is to ignore those people and do what you have to do by ruthlessly pursuing your goals.

 As Baltasa quoted "Be content to act and leave others to talking...."

Mute Voices

By Kingsley Aham. click HERE to read more about him.




For all those who cannot speak and even if they speak,cannot be heard and even if they can be heard will not be heard and if they will be heard will not be listened to.

For all those who have had the microphones taken from them,for all those who have had the spotlight stolen from them and the stages snatched from under their feet.

For all those who cannot be seen because the spotlight has left them.
How much do you know of silence's true feelings?Have you ever stopped to listen to the heartbeat of the dumb?

Listen,there's a great craving in their pulses;longing to burst forth,longing to be heard,longing to be noticed and talked back at.The unprivileged,the poor,the uneducated,the unqualified..look around you,they're everywhere.Hundreds are condemned and written off because their appeal never reached that table and even if it did,it was written off as a nobody's appeal.With the gavel,life's are slammed 6 feet beneath the ground in our law courts,the innocent?Because the poor have no adequate representation and they can't even defend themselves.

You've become like a god,u give life and condemn with your mouth as u chose,you think have arrived.Look around u,they're everywhere..how many have you shown the light to walk in the dark?

How many have
