THE NEW FACE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ! OKORO BLESSING NKIRUKA

Ms. Okoro Blessing Nkiruka is a new age social media personality in Nigeria..She is best known on social media as CEO. She is young, pretty and daring. She has 230K followers on her Instagram page, she is a Public figure, Relationship expert, Storyteller, Brand Influencer, Founder of breakormakeup concept, Leading relationship blog –BOM-

She is social media savvy. She has used social media to bolster and peddle her hunger for power, privilege, recognition and deception. She has a quarter of a million followers that she sells her image and garbage to. She is living it all up on social media,

except that her “living it all up’ is fabricated and perceptually misleading. Over the weekend, she got burst when she went to a home, armed with her cellphone to intrude, trespass and invade the privacy of private citizens and owners of the home and property; that plushy home, to rudely take pictures, record a video of the living room of the home and shared on her Instagram page or blog as her new upscale Home she recently purchased.

But her luck ran out. She was caught by owners of the house as she trespassed, humiliated before their camera. What is wrong with today’s young social media influencers: her fraudulent and fake social media life caught up with her!: a painful loss of pride.

It is my understanding that young CEO had fraudulently asked those that wished to use her services, as a product endorser, to pay. Innocent merchants have allegedly paid her and she had refused to hold her own end of their deal, defrauded then.

these videos have gone viral... But most comments are defending her with silly sentiments and proffer excuses for her invasion of a family's home, tried to blame the owner of the home she intruded, for using excessive force to detain and subsequently humiliated her. This is the problem with Nigerians: always offer excuses in defense of crimes and criminals. What CEO did was a violation of a family’s rights to live happily. She invaded their privacy.

Her desire to continuously mislead her followers with her lies and imaginations of a well lived lifestyle blew up in her face and you want to feel sorry for her?. She went to fabricate her imagination to deceive her 230K followers and perhaps, business partners…she could have also arranged a kidnapping or armed robbery exercise at this household or scout it as a possible future hit home for illicit and dangerous robbery and or kidnapping operations, considering the climate of insecurity in Nigeria. The man had every right to deal ruthlessly with any trespasser to his property. That was his home; he had every right to protect his family and property against an intruder. The family was in their home and property when a rude stranger walked in, disrespected them and assaulted their privacy.

She should be thankful she walked out there alive. You break into my home, intruded in my family’s privacy, liberty and the rights to live freely and happily, I will break your skull. She violated the man and his family because of her greed.

He has every right to defend and protect his family. If you came into my property and residence, uninvited, to invade my privacy, "you will leave in a body bag" so funny just as this quotes sounds but its the simple truth.

There will be no need for handcuffs after I burst her knee caps before I call the police. She trespassed with a Cellphone, illegally took pictures of my home, recorded inside of the home, while trespassing. She was an intruder and should be treated as such. She came to my house, my property. . She went the extreme to seek fame and justify her fake lavish living. She wan be senior girl nah, let her pay for the consequences of living a sham life. The gate-men should be treated as accomplices to this crime

ALEXA: IDEAS FROM MY INSPIRATORS.

After trying all I could by myself and unable to get anywhere. I decided to seek for advise, which is the only and best option unless I want to see my ancestors before time. So I reached out to my mentors and my great source of inspiration.....you will not believe all I got from them. Here's what I took from them.

The first person that responded to my call is Maxwell Ivey Jr. who is a writer, blogger, an influencer and a podcaster. He is one of my greatest source of inspiration. He said to me that he think things would be easier on me and the rest of us if we didn’t have some people out there appearing to do it all and making it look easy. That I should be kind to myself and do what I want most or what I need most first. I am a special person. He have heard my music, so I shouldn't doubt it. What would I love to change about my job that would make it more enjoyable in the short term? Perhaps I and my supervisor or employer could talk about this. Though not every boss is willing to change or amend their policies but some are. Until I get there, I  should know that he will always be there for me. That only gave me the courage to face one of my biggest fear, which is doubt.

While I was trying to redefine my path, here comes another woman I admire so much and here's her advise.....
Her name is Renee Radicioni Pavlus   she said there are lot of people going through the same thing out there. That my story is like sounds like a lot of people’s story. She continued, the problem is, we think of all these things in our brain and minds, some of us look at the positive outcomes, and some of us look at their possibilities. I myself have spun around many times with 20 fingers in 20 pies, accomplishing very little, regretting, getting frustrated, and wondering why why why?
Well, recently I’ve had to learn that I needed to focus my point down, maybe taking on two challenges instead of 20. Maybe working out a plan, or maybe finding people to help me make this plan happen. No they might not be great things, but perhaps even little things are is important. It’s kind of like building our arsenal of talents, gifts, skills. It’s so easy to dream, Hope, plan ahead, but if we don’t define our Voice, purpose, or understand our reality good and bad, nothing will happen, absolutely nothing. I am a testimony to this, you know, having a spirit of willingness, having capabilities, or knowing that to accomplish certain things we need the help of others is part of our learning and growing experience.
So I am simplifying, I mean in the way and the tasks that I will take on and I’m also allowing myself to try to be a little more patient, or allowing for pitfalls, or in possibilities which often happens when you don’t see or when you need help learning new skills, or when you need help just progressing. Don’t be ashamed of asking for help, but choose the people you ask help from very wisely. Many people mean well, but when it comes down to actually achieving, accomplishing, and doing that either back off, try to help with some confusion, or get at flustered as we may be.
So, having said all this, baby steps, organized baby steps, looking and examining how you can achieve these baby steps, and looking at the barriers towards achieving them Chyna, working through each barrier one at a time. We feel so much better when we have achieved something, we feel so much better when we allow ourselves to ask for help in the kindest way possible, but do it in a realistic honest way, and don’t make your expectations too high, because that can also sabotage your progress, I know this, first hand.

I couldn't help it but pick my broken pieces, put it all together and solve the puzzle the world have created for me. I realized that I have to take it one stop at a time and to ask for help from the right people, not acting like I know it all.

Yes I remember, of all the multiple choices in my head and things to do, DeAnna Lynn Rice asked me to pick one, the ones that speaks most, and you go with it. and Evelyn Faix   said she is like that too but I have to start with one first and she suggested that the music lessons can be taken from an online website called musicvi.com. It’s music for the busily impaired I can buy the courses and they are very good I can also get them from the MLS Talking Books location for free computer classes you should go to Lighthouse.

Lastly Edwin Polini said I should only keep my eyes on JesusChrist who is the author and finisher of our faith.

From all these, I come to a conclusion that for one to stop existing and start live he or she needs to

• DECIDE
• CHOOSE
• ACT
• ASK
• FOCUS
• BELIEVE
• HAVE FAITH

The you'll find your way to success as you have a direction now

Thanks for the help......

A SLEEK RED-CARPET TRIBUTE NIGHT IN HONOUR OF THE RUB-A-DUB MASTER

COSON HOUSE PULLS OUT ALL THE STOPS FOR RAS KIMONO AS PLANS ARE ROLLED OUT FOR A SLEEK RED-CARPET TRIBUTE NIGHT IN HONOUR OF THE RUB-A-DUB MASTER

The magnificent COSON House in Ikeja will on Wednesday, August 22 witness a super classy event in honour of the great reggae toaster, Ras kimono, who passed on in Lagos on June 10, 2018.

The sleek red-carpet event, a tribute night like no other, will... climax the week-long program of the funeral of the massively beloved music legend who will be laid to rest in his home town, Onicha Olona in Delta State, on Saturday, August 25, 2018.

Speaking on the upcoming event, COSON Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Chibueze Moses Okereke said “the event will be strictly by invitation. We know that people from all walks of life would wish to attend this big event especially as the sleek tribute night is being personally produced by the COSON Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji, Nigeria’s undisputed master of special events. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate everyone so if you get the IV, please honour the event because it means that you belong to a select group. Members of the Kimono family have met several times with our Chairman over the tribute night and I have no doubt that it will be talk of the town”

Also speaking about the forthcoming Red Carpet Tribute Night in honour of the great Ras Kimono, the COSON General Manager, Mr. Chinedu Chukwuji, said, “Ras Kimono was not just a COSON member, he was a 100% committed COSON member, totally dedicated to the COSON cause. As a hyper creative person, he fought against anything that will destroy COSON as he saw the organization as a watershed development in our country and an important legacy for the Nigerian creative industry. No one should forget that until he passed on, Ras Kimono was a key member of the COSON Board and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji through every challenge. Chief Okoroji was one of the last persons Kimono spoke to on his sick bed, before he passed on.

“The COSON Board he left behind, has held a special meeting in his honour and has instructed that the magnificent COSON House that Kimono contributed to building must host a memorable event in his honour to celebrate this one of a kind Nigerian artiste as he sets out on his last journey out of Lagos. All hands are on deck at COSON , the organization he loved with all his heart, to ensure that Kimono is buried like the king that he was”

my young team of very talented creative artistes, we have kept the essential elements of the great song and brought in a fresh new feel to give what we call ‘Oriaku (New School)’ a new groove. I believe that lovers of good music, young and old, will rock to this new sound. The video is also very-very electrifying”.
