Music: Eagle Eye Cherry - Save tonight

Eagle-Eye Lanoo Cherry (born 7 May 1971, in Stockholm, Sweden) is an American-Swedish musician. He is the son of jazz artist Don Cherry and the brother of Neneh Cherry. At the age of 12, he was sent to school in New York, where he stayed on to work as an actor and a drummer in various bands. It was not until 1996 that he returned to Sweden to begin writing and making his debut album, Desireless, which became a commercial success throughout the world during 1998-1999. I still love this song!

Music: Detox ft. Toofan - Shine for me

What a beautiful song! "Shine for me" is a song by Cameroonian singer Detox featuring Togolese successful duo Toofan. A great combination of English and French. You will definitely love to dance on on this nice track!

A hilarious video of Yvonne Nelson, John Dumelo and Majid Michel. Danced on song "Oga at the top" remix. I love the song and their dance moves are just to die for! I liked the facial expressions of John Dumelo. It looks sooooo hilarious!

African Divas: Alicios Theluji (Congo)

Alicios Theluji

Alicios Theluji is an emerging African singer. She was born in November 1987 in Congo and spent there until her 7th birthday. Unfortunately, she had to flee with her family to Kenya because of the civil war. She sings in four languages ​​(English, French, Swahili and Lingala). Her music is heavily influenced by Congolese rumba and Zouk rythms. Her first hit single was "Mpita Njia" which she sang with the equally talented Juliana K. The lyrics are about a heartbreaker.  An exceptional artist whose thoughtful lyrics reflect the themes of everyday life. 

Alicios is not only talented, but also smart, she pursues an online degree on Business Administration at BTH University in Stokholm / Sweden.

In an interview with TAP may Alicios was asked what influenced the African youth the most. Her answer has impressed me very much.
Here is an excerpt from the interview:

TAPmag: What 3 issues do you think affect the African youth the most today?

Alicios:

• Lack of confidence: The majority of African youths believe that there are other races that are superior than them when it comes to intelligence. History has somehow proven that right; at least the history thats being put on our faces. Its up to parents and teachers to help these children improve their self esteem because it will allow them to dare, dream bigger and to believe in their ideas. Everything starts with an idea and you only get to make something big out of your ideas when you have confidence in yourself. Its very important for the youths to be told our history from the African perspective. We need to tell them about our heroes; that will only strengthen them.

And as Whitney Houston once sang '' give them a sense of pride, to make it easier....'' 

• Lack of freedom of speech: As a young person or mostly a woman, your voice is not really attended to. When interacting with adults, sometimes even appearing smarter than them is seen as a sign of disrespect. In African families, Dad is always right! Even if you have a better idea than him, you will still have ti keep it to yourself because he is supposed to always look smarter than you. So we are not really encouraged to be free thinkers and to express ourselves from an early age. A brain is like a muscle, if you dont engage it, it gets lazy and eventually dies. I also think our governments can really use the youths creative minds to the benefit of everyone. Young people are very creative, if nurtured and used properly, I really believe they can produce more than we think.

• Lack of opportunities/jobs: Just the thought of you not being able to get a decent job after you've finished university alone takes away your motivation and will to study and go through school.

TAPmag: If you had to change something about Africa, what would it be!

Alicios:   

It would definitely have to be Tribes and tribalism...they draw lines among us and i feel like they have more disadvantages than advantages. We need to understand that ''we can'', TOGETHER! I really want to see Africa united. Our own tribes have been used as a wepon to destroy us throughout the history. We've come a long way, but we still have so much to do. And I believe that we'll get there! If we UNITE!!!

Gospel song: Mena Mwana - L' Eternel est bon

Hello Dears, I'm wishing you a wonderful sunday. Be blessed and controled by God and his love!


 

(Sung in French)

Et mon âme te loue, Et mon âme t’adore (My soul praises you, My soul adores you)

Et mon âme te loue, Car nul n’est comme toi (My soul praises you,For there’s none like you)

C’est un chant nouveau, Qui monte dans mon cœur (There’s a new song,From my heart)

Un cantique d’amour, Pour mon seul sauveur (It is a song of love for my only savior)

Il m’a pris de loin, Il m’a lavé (He took me away and washed me)

Et m’a racheté, Et placé à ses côtés (Redeemed me, and placed me beside Him)

Je n’ai plus peur de rien, je ne crains plus rien (I’m no longer afraid, I fear nothing)

Car le bon berger, Est de mon côté (For the good shepherd is by my side)

Même les ténèbres, n’ont plus aucun pouvoir sur moi

(The darkness has no power over me)

Car la clé de la mort, c’est mon maître qui la tient

(And it is my master who holds the keys over death)

Quand Il me tient la main, (When He holds my hands)

Nous fonçons droit dans l’armée de l’ennemi (We run at the advancing army)

Et le grand Goliath, se retrouve par terre (And Goliath the great falls to the ground)

Lui seul me suffit, Lui seul est tout pour moi (He alone is everything to me)

Quand je ne sais comment dire, je me mets à chanter (When I do not know how to speak, I sing)

Refrain:

L’eternel est bon (x3), il est bon pour moi (The Lord is good, He is good to me)

(Repeat)

Ses bontés divines, son amour parfait (His divine goodness, His perfect love)

Ses empreintes d’en haut, font ma différence (His hand from above, is my difference)

Je ne suis qu’une fille, et lui est mon Papa papa papa

(I am simply a child, and you my father)

Oh regarde bien, j’ai les traits du ROI (Look closely at the face of the King)

Lui seul me suffit, Lui seul est tout pour moi (He alone is everything to me)

Quand je ne sais comment dire, je me mets à chanter (When I do not know how to speak, I sing)

(Refrain)

Lui seul me suffit, Lui seul est tout pour moi (He alone is everything to me)

Quand je ne sais comment dire, je me mets à chanter (When I do not know how to speak, I sing)

advanced model advertising lingerie

Fashion has no age limit! In this sense, the U.S. fashion label American Apparel has hired a 62-year-old model. That's nothing unusual. The unusual is that it presents lingerie. The model, Jackie O'Shaughnessy, is wearing their new collection of bandeau bras and lace knickers. Without question, Jackie has a great shape. I hope I'll have such a good shape as Jackie.

But I do not know if I would model with a great body like this. For this, you need courage. And Jackie has it!

Pastor arrested for fake Currency Printing

What annoys me about him the most is that he shows no insight. But trying to make excuses. Too many fake pastors around the world. Is only God we can trust!
