THE NONCHALANT APPROACH OF PARENTS TO THE UNGODLY CONTENT ON TV, RADIO AND THE INTERNET.

THE NONCHALANT APPROACH OF CHRISTIANS TO THE UNGODLY CONTENT ON TV, RADIO AND THE INTERNET.

Written by Perry Martins

Yes You, i am talking to you. You have a nonchalant approach to the ever aggressive media campaign that the devil has launched through his surrogates and machinery. You go to your social media pages to pay lips services to these audacious moves but like I said, that’s all you do, “lips service”. Yeah right now you are asking yourself, what moves is he talking about? You are a Christian abi, or a Muslim or you believe in something sha. You believe in the sanctity of life, you believe and you know that homosexuality is no way for a society or community to thrive, because no two men can do anything and in the process give birth to an offspring.  You have seen the provocative music videos on those popular music channels like MTV, Trace TV and co. Many times you have stumbled on your children, nephew, nieces ,cousin  watching it and in every of those moments you feel that sting of guilt, that shock, that shiver that runs through you as you watch the younger ones watching and mimicking the things they see on TV. Your are busy working and building your business, raking in all the money you can, then you come back home to meet Wiz kid, drake and Whiz khalifa teaching your kids how to do girls, do drugs, drink and live indiscriminately. You come back home to meet Tiwa Savage ,Rihanna and Lady Gaga teaching your girls how to twerk. Ooh you don’t know what twerking means....sorry!  

The level of profanity, immorality, seduction and raunchiness on the media is alarming. The so called regulatory bodies pay lips service to “censoring”. The artistes and producers and video directors are out to make money at the expense of the morality of the society. The media houses are out to make money too, hence they will play anything as long as you can pay. So where are the artistes getting all that level of money that they show us on TV and they pay the media houses. Enter....Corporate businesses, private companies and wealthy individuals. The Telecoms and beverage industry are the highest spenders when it comes to endorsing actors, artistes, video vixens etc. They are the biggest investors in concerts and events. As long as you can get them to their audience at whatever cost, they are willing to pay. I am happy that the CEOs, COOs and CCOs are, and would be parent of some child somewhere. So i will say this bluntly to them. The decisions you made in preferring to sponsor a raunchy entertainment project instead of a safe wholesome family or religious entertainment will definitely haunt you down. It’s not a curse, it’s a fact. I hear that DSTV has removed One Gospel from her bouquets ...Nice one DSTV. God bless you guys big time, and you want to replace it with this bombshell of a movie called “I am Jazz”

 Few days back a campaign started on social media to stop DSTV from airing a Transgender Series movie for children. I started seeing social media broadcasts everywhere requesting people to join the campaign  and write to the NBC (National Broadcasting Corporation)  to stop DSTV (Multichoice) from airing the obviously homosexual Children Movie. What interests me most is the response of two of my colleagues in the gospel entertainment media industry, our senior, Uncle Deji Irawo of X2D and my friend Emmanuel Oyez of GospelNaija . Both of them were simply appalled at people’s sudden realization that airing such a series is dangerous to the psychology our nation and continent. Meanwhile these things have been brewing for years and they both have platforms promoting and propagating safe entertainment or Christian entertainment and they have been trying to reach out to the corporate world and wealthy individuals to support their cause to no avail.  Of course the argument has always been “you call yours Christian Entertainment, what about the Muslims and the non religious”.  My answer, there is a fundamental law of freedom of worship and association. People can choose to watch whatever they want to watch. I am still wondering why NBC is holding off religious TV media houses. As for the Corporate bodies who think religious media and events can’t get them to their audience, that’s a lie from the pit of hell. Various Christian events have proved you wrong. I hear some of them have been approaching the organisers of The Experience Lagos Concert to sponsor the event. Our Muslim brothers can fix themselves. As for the Anti religious and Non-Religious, God help You.

My Submission

We are simply nonchalant. We are not proactive; we pay lips service and do nothing about it. We have all the money to own and promote wholesome media and safe entertainment TV and radio channels, internet media, print etc. We have the connections to sway decisions to allow legislations. But we do nothing about it. We are torn between the lines of denominations.  What the media sells to people is what they will watch. If you show raunchy and sex littered entertainment, they will watch, if you show safe entertainment, they will watch, if you make the safe entertainment classy and excellent enough, they will enjoy it better. And to achieve that we need funding.  Stop being a hypocrite and do something now to save your children from damnation. The media defines the culture and lifestyle of any nation and shapes her future. NBC should stop comparing religious media with political media, they are two different avenues. Terms of broadcast can be applied.

If you felt offended by my use of words, make a change Now. Stop the hypocrisy. We can’t go on like this. We will end up like some of the western nations. We will lose our sense of purpose.

Dozens Dead in Miaduguri Bombings

Three bombings rocked separate targets in northeast Nigeria's largest city of Maiduguri today, killing at least 33 people, witnesses and a local official told AFP, in violence blamed on Boko Haram.

 

The first attack was carried out by a female suicide bomber at the Baga fish market at roughly 11:20 am (local time), said Abubakar Gamandi, the head of the fisherman's union in Borno State, of which Maiduguri is the capital.

 

'A female suicide bomber exploded as soon as she stepped out of a motorised rickshaw,' said Gamandi, who was at the scene. 'Eighteen people were killed.'

 

That account was supported by a nurse at the Maiduguri General Hospital, where many of the victims were taken.

 

About an hour later a bomb blast hit the popular Monday Market, killing another 15 people, according to Gamandi and the nurse, who requested anonymity.

 

It was not immediately clear whether the second attack was carried out by a suicide bomber.

 

'For now, we have at least 33 dead bodies from the two incidents...the toll may change because we are expecting more casualties,'said Gamandi.

 

The first two attacks were confirmed by Borno's Justice Commissioner Kaka Shehu, but he declined to provide casualties figures until rescue workers had completed their searches.

 

Shortly after 1:00 pm Shehu phoned AFP in Maiduguri to confirm a third bombing at the busy Borno Express bus terminal, but details, including on casualties, were not immediately available.

 

'We condemn these acts in their entirety and we extend our condolences to the victims,'Shehu said.

 

'The terrorists are angry with the way they were sacked from towns and villages and are now venting their anger,' he added.

 

Shehu was referring to an ongoing offensive against Boko Haram in Borno state being waged by Nigeria and Chad, with support from Cameroon and Niger.

 

The four-nation offensive has claimed major successes over the insurgents since the start of last month, and analysts have said that Boko Haram would likely step up bombings on civilian targets in response.

Meet The World’s Youngest Female Billionaire, A College Dropout And Medical Genius

Some of the most successful and innovative people in the world never finished college. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are both dropouts of Harvard University for example.
They both quit early to create Microsoft and Facebook, respectively. Likewise, although he’s no longer with us, Steve Jobs was also a dropout, leaving Reed College prematurely to build the Apple empire. Is dropping out of college the pathway to greatness?
Traditional thinking tells us that we need to finish college in order to get anywhere in this world. Yet, these men made billions by pursuing their dreams instead of following the pack.
Not only that, they have created companies that have completely changed the way we live. Simply put, they have had a palpable and positive impact on the world.
Perhaps this is precisely why billionaire Peter Thiel now encourages young people to forgo college and follow their passions. Recently, another college dropout joined the ranks of innovative billionaires, and she’s barely 30.

Meet Elizabeth Holmes

When Elizabeth Holmes was a 19-year-old sophomore at Stanford University in 2003, she decided to drop out and start her own company, Theranos. She felt strongly that her tuition money could be used for a greater and more benevolent purpose: revolutionizing healthcare.
When she first told Channing Robertson, her chemical engineering professor, what she planned to do, he was concerned about the implications of Holmes leaving her degree unfinished. He asked her why she wanted to risk everything in order to pursue this plan. Holmes replied:

I want to create a whole new technology, and one that is aimed at helping humanity at all levels regardless of geography or ethnicity or age or gender.

The fire in Holmes’ eyes convinced her professor that she would succeed, and she received his blessing.

Making Medical History

Holmes wanted to create a technology that would make blood tests easier. She hates needles, and wanted to make blood tests simpler, cheaper and more accessible for all people. For a decade, she quietly worked on a technology that would make blood tests nothing more than a painless finger prick.
Holmes has created hardware and software that allow for blood tests to be done by pricking someone’s finger and storing the blood in a tiny vial called a nanotainer.
Some people are so afraid of needles and blood, they would rather avoid getting blood tests than obtaining potentially life-saving medical information. Surprisingly, about half of all Americans do not comply when their doctors ask them to get blood work done. Holmes’ technology eliminates that fear, and makes it easier and more likely that people will get necessary blood tests.
Not to mention, traditional blood tests typically involve sending multiple vials of blood to separate labs for evaluation. This takes weeks for the results to come through, and also leaves a lot of room for error.
With the single prick of a finger, the technology Holmes has created can provide a wealth of information with exceptional efficiency. The new tests can be done at a pharmacy without going to a doctor or lab, and the results only take about four hours. Furthermore, the same drop of blood can be used for multiple tests with this technology.
Blood work can also be very expensive, depending on your insurance coverage. This new test, however, is much cheaper, which was always one of Holmes’ goals when she started Theranos.
It’s painless, more accurate, cheaper and quicker. Simply put, this technology is revolutionary, and it will save lives.

---

Blood Money

Holmes’ company, Theranos, is now worth $9 billion. She owns 50 percent of it and is worth $4.5 billion, making her the youngest female and third-youngest billionaire on the recently released list of the 400 richest Americans from Forbes. She is the youngest woman to become a self-made billionaire.
Her company has also partnered with Walgreens, and it seems that it will only continue to grow. Yet, Holmes did not create her company to get rich, she sincerely wanted to make a change in the world. As she puts it:

We’re successful if person by person we help make a difference in their lives.
Our purpose is to give people access to the basic right of being (blood) tested when they need to or want to. If we can do that, then we will have made a difference.

She believes that affordable and efficient healthcare is a human and civil right. Elizabeth Holmes is proof that greatness is achieved by combining passion, innovation and the desire to better the lives of those around you.

SAMMIE OKPOSO RELEASES A PEACE SONG “LET PEACE REIGN”.

Celebrated gospel music artist, Sammie Okposo has released a single titled “Let Peace Reign”. The Song is a peace song urging Nigerians to live in peace and co-exist in harmony. 

According to the Award winning artist and Peace ambassador, “we are in an election period, it’s not a war, please let us do our best to make the election violence free”. This song couldn’t have come at a better time because it goes a long way to buttress that no matter which party or candidate one is supporting, Let it be done peacefully. 

Sammie Okposo, a known GEJ supporter from 2011, was involved in reposting an unconfirmed report already trending online accusing GMB of forgery and perjury. He was immediately remorseful and was quick to apologise to GMB via twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

This has also shown that Sammie Okposo is a man of peace.
