The Greatest Ambition Of Nigerian Women Should Not End In The Bedroom

The greatest ambition of Nigerian women ends in the bedroom while the greatest ambition of Nigerian men ends in the boardroom.

Majority of Nigerian women are more desperate to marry than Nigerian men.

In fact, majority of Igbo parents send their daughters to school to increase their material value more for marriage than careers.

The higher standards of education you have, the higher bride price and greater matrimonial status.

You are exposed to more men who are the potential suitors. Whereas the first and foremost priority of majority of Nigerian men is to be successful in their careers to increase their purchasing power to afford a good accommodation, a good car/SUV and a good wife or trophy girlfriend.

Many Nigerian men are still single, because they are yet to achieve this priority and there are not many choices of good women or trophy girlfriends to marry in Nigeria. Because, Nigerian men have been relegating majority of Nigerian women to the background and have ended up with more liabilities of millions of Nigerian girls and women who live at the mercy of men.

Nigerian women have their dreams and God has given everyone a unique purpose in life to fulfill your destiny. Therefore, do not let any Nigerian man make you give up your dreams to make a positive impact in your community and our society.

Any man who loves you will help you to succeed from the bedroom to the top of the boardroom.

Stephanie Okereke is a Nigerian actress who is fulfilling her noble dreams to make Nigeria better and greater.


We need more female CEOs than baby factories in Nigeria.
God made you to be more of a helpmate than bed mate.
Use your brains to excel and not your loins.

Amy Dubois Barnett is a leading African American woman fulfilling her American Dream as the Editor-in-Chief of the popular EBONY magazine.


A senior Nigerian banker was dating a very beautiful Nollywood actress from Akwa Ibom and said that he would prefer her to give up her acting career and goal to be a software engineer and be his wife with a supermarket. I advised her to dump him and she did. Then the other man told me that he would persuade her to stop acting to prevent her from being tempted and lured away by randy Nollywood actors and other big guys.

You see the inferiority complex behind the egos of these Nigerian men?

Nigerian men would prefer their women to end up eating from their hands to the women being independent.

Nigerian men feel better when they can show off their status symbols of posh cars or SUVs, luxury apartments and seven-digit salary positions to Nigerian girls and ladies, but get goose pimples and jittery when the Nigerian women are equally upwardly mobile top executives you cannot bluff.

Igbo men in particular feel reluctant to date big girls with big pay checks.

With majority of Nigerian men lording over Nigerian women, Nigeria will never advance in social, economic or technological civilization.

Dump any dumb Nigerian man who cannot stand your dreams and who does not want you to LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW!

Narrow minded Nigerian men have been responsible for the underdevelopment of Nigerian women.

When my father retired, my great mother, Gladys Eke started working for the Lagos State Government to make sure that the family fared well and my father supported her. She was there with me on the high table when I launched my first book when I was 25 and encouraged me until the day she died. That is why I have called her the Mother of my genius. She was the one who taught me the art of story telling that has taken me places since age 13 when I won the first prize in the popular Pop magazine national essay competition on what we like best about Nigeria.
So, my success is the fulfillment of the dreams of my mother of blessed memory.

Nigerian women must never give up their noble dreams to achieve their intellectual and professional goals no matter what any man offers them to do so.

Look at the positive couple Stephanie Okereke and Linus Idahosa!
They are the best tag team in Nollywood and making great impact in the nation building of a New Nigeria.

Stephanie Okereke and Linus Idahosa!


If your man cannot stand by you to chase and fulfill your dreams, then he is not worthy of being your man. But your servant!

Love is not made up of letters.



Love is not made up of letters.

It not what you say that makes love real, but what you do 24/7.

It is not saying "I LOVE YOU" that matters, but doing it heart, soul and spirit.

Calvin Klein Fragrances Launches New Global Advertising Campaign for New ck one shock Fragrance

NEW YORK, August 4, 2011/PRNewswire/ --



Introduction of ck one shock Marks First Non-Shared Fragrances in ck one Portfolio

- With Photos

Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] announced that Calvin Klein Fragrances, a unit of Coty Prestige, today unveiled the worldwide Fall 2011 advertising campaign for ck one shock. The addictive skin scents for her and him mark the first non-shared fragrances in the ck one portfolio, capturing the individual gender identity that represents youth culture today.

The ck one shock campaign continues the visual momentum of the ck one lifestyle campaign - which debuted worldwide in February 2011 - and evolves the fragrance franchise's rebellious edge and introduced the brand's complementary additions of jeanswear, underwear, and swimwear. That campaign portrayed the authenticity and individuality that empowers the millennial generation, focused on expressions of masculinity and femininity. The ck one shock campaign will debut this week in the UK and roll-out around the world beginning in August 2011.

"ck one has maintained its status as an iconic global brand, and the original shared fragrance, since it first launched in 1994," said Catherine Walsh, Senior Vice President of American Fragrances, Coty Prestige. "With the introduction of ck one shock we address the need of today's consumer to define their individuality while maintaining the core equities of the ck one franchise -- authenticity and accessibility. ck one shock is for the times when you simply do not want to share."

Said Tom Murry, President & CEO, Calvin Klein, Inc., "The introduction of the new dual gender ck one shock fragrance provides a compelling and impactful new chapter for the iconic ck one franchise."

The dynamic creative in both the print and television spots exerts a sexual, voyeuristic energy set in the theme of a nighttime dance party.

The campaign was conceived by consulting creative director Fabien Baron of Baron + Baron, working with CRK, Calvin Klein, Inc.'s in-house advertising agency. The campaign was filmed during a one day shoot in New York City by renowned fashion photographer Steven Meisel, who also directed both the original campaign for the launch of the ck one fragrance in 1994 and the new ck one lifestyle campaign this year.

An exciting digital initiative for ck one shock will also be launched and integrated within ckone.com, the global hub for the ck one lifestyle campaign. The multi-prong ck one shock campaign is an extension of the ck one lifestyle campaign that was introduced for Spring 2011 and features user generated content, mobile applications (iPhone, Android, and Symbian) with integrated Augmented Reality (AR) programs, and a strong global social media component. The digital campaign will be introduced around the world with a roll-out that begins on August 15th.

Members of the distinctive cast express their own unique style and point of view, in classic ck one style. All of the talent is also featured in the Fall 2011 ck one lifestyle campaign, including: Dutch supermodel Lara Stone - who is also featured in the Fall 2011 advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein, ck one Jeans, and Calvin Klein Underwear; Brazilian model/drummer/dj Alice Dellal; American singer/songwriter Sky Ferreira; British model/songwriter Ruby Aldridge; Chinese supermodel Wang Xiao; Tanzanian model Herieth Paul; British boxing champion/Olympic hopeful Robert Evans; British model Aaron Frew; Russian model/rapper Yuri Pleskun; American musician Ian Mellencamp; Swedish artist Viggo Janason; and Japanese student/singer Tomo Aki Kurata.

Oprah to Receive Oscar



Yet Another Accolade: Oprah to Receive Oscar

Oprah will receive the Jean Hershold Humanitarian Award at the next Oscars, alongside James Earl Jones and makeup artist Dick Smith.






If She Is Not Good Enough To Be Your Wife, Then Don't Sleep With Her!



If you can sleep with her then you can marry her.

I have seen many situations where Nigerian men mate with girls and ladies like dogs in summer heat, but they are ashamed to introduce these girls and ladies to their friends and business associates, because they are either too “UGLY” or beneath their social class status.

These funny men in Nigeria say they can sleep with these TOO UGLY or LOWLY girls and ladies, but they cannot marry them. And majority of these men claim to be “Christians”.

If you can sleep with her, then you can marry her. But if you say she is not good enough to be your wife, then why would you sleep with her?

I have seen many cases of these funny Nigerian men who sleep and impregnate girls or ladies, but reject the pregnancy and often pay for the abortion. But when the poor girls or ladies refuse to abort the pregnancy and they are compelled to accept their fate, they would prefer to accept only their babies, but refuse to marry the mothers.

The evils done by these hypocrites are often the cause of the problems they later suffer in their marriages, because they have to face the consequences of their actions.
