Celebrities And The "Child Outside Wedlock" Syndrome
Olamide and Son |
I have observed a pattern in the entertainment industry for a few years now. It is the fact that many male celebrities now prefer to have babies outside wedlock with their girlfriends rather than marry them first. Some eventually end up marrying the girlfriends(e.g Peter Okoye) which is one out of hundred. It just makes one wonder why human beings just decide to usurp a process laid down by God and turn it around to suit them. Even when it is clearly a sin and not how God planned it.
Dear celebrity, Here is an advise for you if you are reading this. Life is but for a short while, so is your fame. Make positive contribution to society. Add positive values to generation that will come after you. Be remembered for how you impacted positively, not how many bastards you made your proteges father. These proteges copy tour actions but cannot be responsible for children born from such irresponsible behaviour like you can.
Back to the gist jare. Below is a list of male celebrity who have chosen the path of having babies outside wedlock. The most recent addition to the list is Flavour who just impregnated is "Ada Ada".
And you need to see how this men and their girl friends flaunt the pregnancy on the web.#sodomandgomorahthings
Enjoy reading jare.
Seun Kuti
He had famously declared early in 2013, that he is not getting
married anytime in the future because he would not embrace the thought
of losing half his earnings. However, he likes being a father.
Afrobeat artist and son of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Seun Kuti and his
partner Yetunde George Ademiluyi welcomed a daughter in December last
year. The baby's name 'Ifafunmike' means "A child gotten from a deity".
In a recent interview, 31-year-old Seun talked about the exhilarating
experience of fatherhood. "Training your first child is a life
experience. It is a lesson in selfless service. You know, babies are
strong but they are also quite dependent. You know you have to sacrifice
your time, and now I am the one who sacrifices my time all night. "My
partner works all day, I work all night. I am in the studio anyway, so I
can stay awake all night. Well, it is interesting and my baby is quite
peaceful," he stated.
Wizkid
Despite the fact that he happens to be one of the youngest and
busiest fathers on the Nigerian music scene, Wizkid, whose real name is
Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, still has time to spare for his kid,
Boluwatife. He is also the first son of Wizkid and his mum Shola
Ogudugu. There is no sign that the rich lad will be getting married
anytime soon though but Wizkid is enjoying his role of a father and
often posts pictures of his son on his instagram page.

Former Child Star Benita Okojie Getting Married Soon
In the 90s, Benita Okojie, at the tender age of 12, was a sensation as a gospel music child artiste. Now 24, the multiple award-winner relives the experience of stardom and adulthood
Child stars face a lot of pressures while growing up, did you experience such?
I did but the winning factor for me was
the close relationship I had with God and my family. I did not shut my
loved ones out of my life. They are the ones who can tell me the truth
about anything, no matter how big it is. I have a good relationship with
my parents and I talk to them about everything. My mother, especially,
was a pillar of strength for me and I was able to tell her a lot of
things and she helped me through all the changes. I am a very spiritual
being and I pray a lot.
How did you handle the superstar treatment in school?
The early stages of the job were very
harsh on me. I had friends who just had issues with my person, not
necessarily because I did anything wrong but because they felt that I
was going around with a larger than life image. I do not think that was
the situation but because I am out there, everybody wants to judge me
based on what they don’t even know. I thank God for my parents and my
siblings who helped and supported me all the way. I made very good
friends also. Now, I am a graduate. I have friends who I hook up with
once in a while and we hang out and attend functions together.
What has changed about your career now as an adult?
The difference is not so significant
because I will always do indigenous songs. It is a language which I am
able to express myself in. But I am going to do a lot of English songs
as well because I know my fan base extends to people who do not
understand Edo songs. There are some foreigners too. Recently, I checked
our facebook page and saw a lot of foreigners posting comments there.
What lessons have you learnt as an adult?
I have learnt about growth. As a young
lady, boys will seek one’s attention but one should learn to have a
great relationship with guys while setting boundaries with them at the
same time. Your parents should always be people you respect, no matter
how big you are and how much money you make. You would always need
parental love and support. Mine have been there for me all the time.
Sometimes, when the youthful exuberance in me crops up, my parents would
always make sure that I stay grounded. They always remind me of where I
am coming from, where I am going and what I have done. That has kept me
balanced. Guys would come and go but your parents would always be
there.
What has been happening to your music career?
I am working on a couple of singles and a
talk show but while I am still waiting for all of that, I am having as
much fun as I can have.
What about marketing your songs?
I don’t think I can handle that but I
have put friends and family members in place to assist me, they are also
learning in the process. My sister is my personal assistant and my
mother works with the board of my management and that helps a lot. It is
easier to communicate with family. Whenever outsiders are brought in,
they are made to understand that I am more of a family girl and we
always like to do things together. This helps us to be focused. I don’t
allow business to becloud what I do. Most importantly, I am a gospel
artiste and my job is to win souls for Christ. If money comes, it will
help facilitate what I do well but it should not be the basis for doing
what I do.
Are you limiting yourself to gospel?

Mum Who Allowed Her Boyfried Kill Her Child Freed After Telling Her Story

"Freddy is still spanking Alexis and I go get my son. And I come back and he's sitting there. And he pushed her and he kicked her and threw her across the room, all the way to the window. He picked her up by the throat and slammed her on the floor. He's kicking her and hitting her on the chest. And he said get this little b**ch. Go take care of her."When asked what she did to stop the vicious attack, Victoria said "I told him to calm down and go outside".

Grandmum allegedly 'kidnaps' little girl in the UK, Nigerian mum cries out
Hello HTP
Blog readers, I am so sorry i have been off blogging for a few weeks while
concentrating on some other areas of influencing family and parenthood. I miss
blogging so much but there was just no time. I miss my readers and the
feedback. Good news however is that I am back.
What better
way to kick off the return of juicy information on family, marriage and
parenthood than a CRY FOR HELP from a young mother all alone in UK who
has been treated callously by someone she trusted. Her Baby daddy's mama. News
like these just make it hard to trust. Read and share. The child must be
returned to her mother.
Moronke
Temilola claims
her daughter's paternal grand-mum (her baby daddy's mother) took her daughter
from the UK to Nigeria yesterday without her consent and wants anyone who has
seen either the woman or the child to reach out to her or report to the police.
My 2 year
old daughter Liya was kidnapped on the 6th of October 2014 by her paternal
grandmother and its been confirmed by the police that she has been taken to
Nigeria. Annette Ehiemere , the paternal grandmother, who lives in Port
Harcourt with her son(the paternal dad) Izuchukwu Ehiemere ,asked to come visit
her granddaughter in April and since she had nowhere to stay I allowed her stay
at mine so she can get to know her granddaughter and spend a little time with
her, all these I did in good faith.
She spent 5
months and all these time I didn’t suspect she was making plans to kidnap my
baby, I knew her birth certificate was lost but I just thought it was around
somewhere in my room and I would find it, not knowing she had taken it. I
resumed at university on the 6th and by the time I got back home, they were
gone and after reporting to police it was confirmed that they had boarded a
flight to Nigeria. She took my little sister as well and dropped her off at her
sister’s in Hackney so I wouldn’t quickly suspect that was what was happening
and made her drop my sister off the next day.
I had my
baby Liya in 2012 and I have been the only one by her side, when I got pregnant
and her dad didn’t want her, I told him I know choosing to have her is selfish
but I really want to keep the baby and I would take responsibility for her. I have
gone through hell taking care of my baby but it was joy to me, she is my
motivation, everyone knows how much I struggled to make my baby happy. She
isn’t familiar with anyone else, she has never travelled out of the country
before talkless of travelling without me by her side. I didn’t even get to hug
my daughter goodbye.
