(Photos) Wow! Check out these fashionable Nigerians from the 1950s

Was doing a research for my novel when I came across these photos and I was like, "Wow, mehn, Nigerians get dress sense o even as far back as 1950s."

These photos were taken in the 1950s by a Nigerian photographer Solomon Osagie Alonge(1911-1994). He was the official photographer at the Royal Court of Benin.

Really, looking at these pictures took me down memory lane to a time I had never been and will never be. One question in my mind was,"Where are these people? They breathed. They walked . They lived but where are they now?"

Time is passing and so do the people. If Jesus tarries, one day we too will be like the people in these pictures. The people in future will look at us and wonder what it was like in our time. What exactly are you living for? What legacy would we leave behind? Are you pursuing 'That' which really matters? Have you considered that life here is temporary? Have you really thought about eternity?

Man is but a Sojourner on earth. Beauty fades and flowers wither...

*Pursue that which truly matters. It's NOT money nor beauty nor sex nor houses nor power nor children nor wealth. Pursue God. Put Him first in all you do. Let Him be the reason you are here. Show it by glorifying Him with your life!

Celebrities sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune

It is said that most Hollywood celebrities, to get to where they are today, made a deal with the devil...they sold their souls for fame and fortune. By selling their souls they submit to Satan so that he totally uses, enslaves and possesses their life, body, mind, will and soul. Satan's goal and agenda becomes theirs. Their life is no more their own. So let it not surprise you when their songs or movies serve Satan's purpose of driving men into deeper darkness. These celebrities are idolized and literally worshiped but clearly they serve Satan and channel demonic spirits through their music and movies. From the likes of Madonna,Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj ,Eminem, Bob Dylan and so so many others, these are known to be demon possessed having sold their souls to the devil. Melyssa Ford, a Canadian hip hop model and actress ,said in an interview, "If your ultimate goal is to be famous, you have to do a lot to get there like sign your name in blood i...

Late Hollywood actress, Marilyn Monroe, told Billy Graham, "I don't need your Jesus."

She had the perfect life anyone could dream of; remarkable wealth and great fame. Despite all that, Marilyn kept all of her sufferings to herself. One day during filming, a preacher named Billy Graham visited her. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus". During that time, Monroe who was allegedly having a romantic affair with the President of the United States, John F Kennedy. A week later, she was found dead in her bedroom. Theories of her death started to spread. Some say she was assassinated because of political conspiracies and in the end, the most accepted theory up to this day is she committed suicide. It shows that she was suffering from a severe depression. In fact it is actually the right time for her to seek God, asking for help, not to take the easy way out by taking her own life. *Hmmm... One day soon I will write on Marily...

See how music is used to cast spells...(A must read)

We love music, but do you know there could be more to music than we bargained for? The devil is desperate and we should not be ignorant of his devices and this is one of them. One weapon that he always uses is subtlety . Here's what I pulled from a Wiccan website concerning Magickal music or let me say how they cast spells in music: "A magick spell is the integration of an intent with a physical representation of that intent. "For instance, when you make a Witch’s spell pouch, out of a cloth and some herbs and oils and objects, each of those items represents a part of your intent. And in the magick, you are binding those two things: your intention and the physical world. "This brings your intention into form in the physical world. That's how magick spells work. In magickal music, the intention is wrapped up into a song, and bound into it. "When I create magickal songs, I do it with the guidance of the Divine. In a meditative state...

You think watching porn is a harmless fun? Ex-porn actress, April Garris, gives a glimpse into the ‘spiritual’ side of porn

Many think that watching porn is a harmless fun but few realize the spiritual consequence of indulging in it. The story you are about to read is a part of a testimony by a former porn actress, April Garris. While she was praying for those involved in porn, God opened her eyes to ‘see’ the demonic reality in the porn industry. The vision involved one of those porn shoots she had been involved in. She recalled what happened in the scene. As she visualized herself having hardcore sex and the people all around her, God gave her an insight into the demonic realm that controls the porn industry. She said: " In the vision, I saw a room literally filled with demons. The people involved in the production of the video including myself were completely oblivious to this horrific reality- the total demonic regime which was present. The demons themselves were doing various things. Some of them were watching us have sex. Others were roaming around ...
