U.S Born Miss Philippines Megan Lynne Young is Miss World 2013!



Miss Philippines Megan Young has been crowned Miss World 2013 on Saturday in Bali, Indonesia.

The event was held under tight security, because the global beauty pageant was threatened by fanatical Muslims who wanted to disrupt the event for violating the Islamic ethics of the world's most populous Muslim country. The radical Islam Defenders Front marched in public protests against holding the pageant in Indonesia and forced the organizers to move the event from a venue outside Jakarta to the predominantly Hindu Island of Nusa Dua in southern Bali.

The 23-year-old U.S.-born beauty queen studying digital film was overwhelmed with emotion as she accepted the crown from her predecessor, Wenxia Yu of China and promised to "be the best Miss World ever".

Marine Lorphelin, a 20-year-old medical student from France was the first runner-up and Miss Ghana Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, 23, also a medical student was the second runner-up.

Dear Parents of Every Girl Child



"Girl Rising" will premiere in Nigeria on Friday October 11, 2013, see the details below.


Dear Parents of every girl child,
What kind of education are you giving your child?
You know your child is your future.

We want to talk to you on educating our daughters and lest we forget, our housemaids or house-girls are not left out.
You must not deprive any housemaid or house-girl of education.

The kind of education you give your housemaid or house-girl will affect and reflect in the life of your own child, because you often leave your child in the care of your housemaid or house-girl while you are at work or elsewhere and it is what she knows she will share or teach your child. So, it would be best and of great benefit to you to make sure that you don't deprive your housemaid or house-girl of a good education for the mutual benefit of your own child.


Your own daughter and the housemaid or house-girl are going to share many things in common as long as they live in the same environment and as the Laws of Harvest prove and the Word of God says, what we sow is what we shall reap sooner or later in life. So, please care and love every housemaid or house-girl as you care and love your own child. 
Don't maltreat your housemaid or house-girl lest she will also maltreat your child or become a negative influence in the upbringing of your child.

If you don't educate your housemaid or house-girl, you are only showing a bad example that will definitely harm you in the future, because our daughters regardless of their social class backgrounds are the future mothers of our nations.

Now here are the facts you should know.

Is She Your Pawn Or Your Queen?


How do you see and treat your girlfriend?

Would you be proud to give her a crown of adoration in appreciation and devotion to her love?
Or do you disrespect and treat her without the highest regard?
Are you just using her for your intimate gratification or you are doing your best to make her a lady of class and success you will be proud of?

Is she your pawn or your queen?

But not while you are crooning "You Are My African Queen" to her, you are still jumping from one girl to another woman? grin
There is only one queen in every kingdom.
Having two queens is divided attention and divided attention Always causes confusion.

Of course if she wants to be your queen, she must earn the crown.
And a real queen has only one king.
She must also behave like one with dignity, loyalty and nobility.

Every woman deserves to be a queen and should refuse to be a pawn.



~ By Orikinla Osinachi.

Sharon Stone Presents Her New Documentary on Women Healing the World



FEMME: Women Healing the World


Written By: Amanda Estremera. Emmanuel Itier
Director: Emmanuel Itier
Hosted By: Bermuda International Film Festival
Starring: Sharon Stone, Rickie Lee Jones, Mira Nair, Maria Bello



“Our film, entitled Femme: Women Healing the World, is a feature length documentary that shares how women around the world are transforming and healing our planet. It’s an invitation to elevate our school of thinking and change our code of behavior with each other. I want to reaffirm, through the power of my lens, the necessity for a strong female presence in all aspects of our life today and to therefore help people understand that there is a need to go beyond our differences. It’s about where are our energies both male and female are complementary and how we can balance these energies with a sense of spirituality.”

~ Emmanuel Itier

If You Fail to Marry the Person You Love, Then Learn To Love the One You Have Or Leave


If you fail to marry the person you love, then learn to love the one you have or leave.
~ Orikinla Osinachi.

If you cannot learn to love the person you have, then leave to save yourself and the person from heartaches and headaches of a loveless relationship or marriage.

As I always say, LOVE NO BE BY FORCE.
