10 extremely important marraige tips, No10 is just the best!

1) Your other half is never going to be perfect, that's why you are the other half: you are meant to complete them :)








2) Stop focusing on what you want your other half to be and work on becoming the best you can be for him/her. It becomes contagious.







3) Face it your husband or wife will never look like those hot people in magazines because those hot people in magazines do not look like those hot people in magazines..









4) You wish her butt was bigger or his hair fuller. Stop focusing on things they dont posses and focus on the amazing things they possess!







5) There is no such thing as a close friend of the opposite sex when you are married. Cheating is only two friends of the opposite sex acting out what they have fantasized about.













6) She dropped the name of her father, father's father etc..to take yours, you should kiss the ground she walks on


















                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     7) You dropped your name for his.... your life mission now is to somehow by your superpowers make that name great!








8) Never let your kids see you fight, this is a cardinal rule

9) Sex is good but if that was the only reason we got married we would spend the rest  of our lives in bed








10) Go on a holiday every year, if you cant afford to go visit another country, go to another state, if not go to another street. Just get out of the house for a couple days!!

What Lagos Big boys talk about at 10 year old parties...

One of my mentors Mr Martins (who I refer to as 'My Chairman')  is many years shy of 50. He is a financial genius and a vault of wisdom accumulated by years traversing roads which I have only began to discover. He's the type the term 'Lagos Big boy' fits like a glove. He's humble to a fault and an all round great guy. Thinking about it, most of the really rich people I've met in Lagos are actually quite humble.

Chairman's only daughter Sade turned 10 on Monday. She is a sweet girl, born into privilege but with a no nonsense mother who keeps her grounded and devoid of the airs of entitlement prevalent among the kids of the super rich in Lagos. The IV came during the week.. pastel pink with the unmistakable touch of  luxury, it might as well have been a hundred dollars, it certainly looked like one. Sade was having a 10th birthday party on Saturday.

As I drove to Ticklebay in Ikoyi I wondered how  I'd kill  hours at a 10 year old's  birthday party. Would it be like the ones from my childhood with musical chairs and would cheap 'parcels' (I understand they're called party packs now)

I arrived, greeted my 'Chairman', his wife and hugged little Sade. Sitting next to Sade's grandfather, I listened to his didactic monologue about life and life lessons. I enjoy talking to old people, they seem to ramble on sometimes, but if you pay attention you could find gold.

After a 30 minute lecture I sat at Chairman's table, he was looking really excited , a proud father celebrating with his princess. I thought of the bond between fathers and daughters and wondered how different the world would be if parents only show their children this much love.

 Two of his friends arrived, I apologised I hadn't seen him in a while and he brushed it aside, I got talking to the other two men on the table. We talked about work, how politicians are only available at 2.30 am in the morning and how they never sleep. I was asked by one of the guys what I did, I said I owned a record label and was into construction.

He  prodded further so I told him I was also a recording and peforming artist. He asked for my stage name, once I told him it was DMSquared, I saw a twinkle in his eye; the look of one suprised to see a person who until seconds ago only existed in print or recorded material. 'So you are DMSqured?' I laughed 'yes'. It was a little satisfying to have some name recognition, alas someone was listening! He said he previously owned 'Tenth Code Media' a label/platform which housed Rooftop MCs during the 'Lagimo' days. He told me of the exciting times, the ups and downs of the industry and his currently divested focus. I learnt alot talking to him.

I later had a lengthy chat with Segun, one of the owners of EME records whose kids were also at the party. 'DM you are just one hit away, I love your material and you have a great fanbase', I wasnt so sure. I told him about the complexities of distribution and airplay and the need for better pluggers (people who make sure songs get airplay) in the industry. He agreed and told me they were working on something big. I remember him wanting to back out of the industry a couple of years ago and now with EME Artistes all over Nigerian and international airwaves, it's a very different story. He told me to keep my head up, my music was about spreading a message and no matter what it looks like I should keep at it. Nice one.

Later, alot of Chairman's friends arrived. It struck me how the men would occupy one table and their wives would occupy another, I found it really weird, were the topics of discussion of the men and their wives mutually exclusive?

As I sat down at the men's table we talked about Arsenal, Banks, politics, stocks nothing pretentious but rather they talked and I listened. These guys in their GWagons, Private Jets and speed boats as they spoke I thought of how it would be to live in their world.

Would I arrive at parties and send my wife to another table for a forced discussion with other yummy mummys? I made a couple of great contacts and felt intellectually stimulated. As  I drove back that night I realised a 10 year old's party can actually be a great networking event and fuel for the road of the Lagos hustle.

 To all the Big boys I met yesterday thanks for inspiring a  young man! It's 2014, a brand new year full of great possibilities. if you can then I can!

Nigger go home.... thats what he told me, plus anti-racism video

'Nigger go home' and for emphasis he said it again. I was in Enfield Greater London, time was about 11.30pm, on my home from Uni some hapless fellow retorted the earlier words to me. We were alone and I knew if I took the physical approach I could incapacitate him and teach him a huge lesson. Common sense prevailed and I thought 'I'm better than that' and walked away. It hurt me sha... for the first time in my life I was concious I was black.

If you've never lived outside Nigeria then you probably cannot appreciate or fathom how uncomfortable people can get when you are around. Like you have an invisible tag that says 'thief', n'mugger' etc or when people would decide not to seat next to you on the train or as one guy asked me in Stanmore 'you are from Africa? have you ever been on a train?'. Thankfully the 1st was the only blatant racist experience I had others were more subtle. Your skin is not your sin. Racism or reverse racism needs to be stamped out. Lets embrace love.

Saying that, I love the Ad shown here. 9 years old but still potent as ever.

'If one day speed kills me, do not cry because I was smiling' -Paul Walker







Monday Morning, I scanned through Facebook account and there it was, my friend Chukwuma Kalu's status 'Paul Walker is dead'. Like many people I came across Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner in Fast and Furious. I was on a Virgin Atlantic flight to London where I would spend the next 7 years of my life. The movie captured my imagination and I was a big fan of the franchise watching the last with a very vocal Nigerian crowd at Silverbird Cinema.

Because of his starring role in movies all about speed it was easy to conclude he was to blame for his death as he died in a car crash. Until I heard he was the passenger. Now I heard the car might have been involved in a drag race. Whatever the case, we've lost a great talent. I feel I lost someone I knew, when you've followed someone's work since 2001, they almost becomes part of moments that define a periods of our lives. I love cars, from American muscle to Italian beauties but I'm a self confessed slow driver. My excuse is that it's better to be late than to be the late. Details about Paul's death are sketchy but one fact is clear, speed was a factor.

We've lost Paul, but in his death Paul sends us a message: Speed kills. We've lost too many loved ones to speed. As a passenger your life is literally in the driver's hands. Insist on a little caution. We'll miss you Paul and thanks for the joy you brought to millions of lives across the world. You lived. RIP.

Prime suspect in Adaobi Obih's murder case Ryan Klug taken into custody




Say what you want, the US system works! The prime suspect in Adaobi Obih's murder case Ryan A. Klug has been taken into custody in the Galveston, Texas area, police said Saturday night.

The 36-year-old  state highway engineer was apprehended by agents with the U.S. Marshals office in Texas, said Lt. Matt Myers, spokesman for the Columbus Police Department.

Myers said authorities had been tracking the Columbus man — accused of killing a 26-year-old engineer with whom he lived — since Thursday.

Klug, subject of a national manhunt, had been considered armed and dangerous.

Klug was wanted by authorities on a murder warrant and was possibly trying to escape to Mexico through the Texas border. Whatever sentence he is given will not bring her back but will give all who loved her and people like us who never knew her but felt a deep connection with her story.

Rest in Peace Adaobi, many others will sleep a little better tonight.

Dad Films Premature Son's Miraculous First Year-Touching story

Edward Miles is quite simply a miracle baby. I live in a country where infant mortality is high and death during childbirth is common so it's refreshing to see how much love, care, attention is given to ensure he survived. His dad, a potrait photographer documented his first year, it is a must watch. God is wonderful, have a great Sunday! Video below:


More details emerge in Adaobi Obih's death







More details are emerging in the murder of Nigerian PHD student Adaobi Obih in the US as
investigators have released additional information about the death of the young Columbus woman.

A probable cause affidavit filed Wednesday in Bartholomew Circuit Court alleges that 36-year-old Ryan Allen Klug knowingly or intentionally killed his roommate, 26-year-old Adaobi Obih.

According to the affidavit, Columbus Police Detective Mike Ward responded Tuesday afternoon to a call at River Stone Apartments, on the city's west side, about a woman found dead in her apartment at 3461 Limestone Lane. Obih, who was employed at Cummins, had unexpectedly missed work on Monday and Tuesday. Obih's boyfriend had also called Columbus Police to request a welfare check on her after he was not able to get in touch with her.

Apartment complex staff went to the apartment shared by Obih and Klug and made entry with a skeleton key. The report says that the staff member made his way down the hall and peered into a room on the left side. He reportedly spotted a black female lying face-up on the floor with a large amount of blood on her head. The witness told police that the victim was "clearly deceased." The staff then called 911.

When emergency personal arrived, responding officers conducted a brief survey of the scene. They determined that Obih's death was suspicious. Officers left the apartment, secured it and requested a search warrant.

Detectives spoke with Obih's boyfriend, who indicated that she was with him at his apartment in Eastlake Woods from Friday evening to early Sunday afternoon, save for a short time Saturday morning when Obih left to get some groceries. The boyfriend told investigators that the two had missed church services Sunday morning, so they made plans to attend a 6 p.m. service in Greenwood. He had planned to pick her up from her apartment at 5 p.m.

The boyfriend provided investigators with his cell phone which shows him sending a text message to Obih, and getting a response, at 12:17 p.m. Sunday. He sent her another text message at 4:38 p.m. that went unanswered. The boyfriend went to church services by himself and sent Obih another text message at 8:36 p.m. That also went unanswered. A short time later, he went to Obih's apartment and knocked on the door, but no one answered. The affidavit reveals that records from the boyfriend's cell phone showed he made seven calls between 9:15 p.m. and 10:36 p.m. At 10:36 p.m., he also sent another text message indicating he was at Obih's front door, but he got no response. The boyfriend's calls and texts continued in to Monday until he reported her missing to police.

Investigators spoke with a neighbor of Obih, who related that around 4 p.m. Sunday, he heard noises coming from the apartment. He said it sounded like someone was moving heavy furniture around. The neighbor indicated that he heard the noises for about three minutes, just before the weather sirens went off due to the impending weather.

Investigators received information from Klug's wireless phone carrier that indicated that he was in the vicinity of the apartment he shared with Obih when Klug received a phone call from his pastor at 3:57 p.m. The pastor told investigators that he had received a text message from Klug that morning asking him to call him. The pastor says that when Klug answered his call, he told him that he was unable to talk at that time.

Police were able to execute a search warrant on Obih's apartment just before 6 p.m. Tuesday. Detectives indicate that Obih's body had multiple knife wounds, including her throat being cut. A broken knife handle and blade, belonging to Obih, was found in the room where her body was found. Detectives also located a blood trail from the body, which they believe led to Klug's bedroom. They also said it appears that the assailant tried to clean up in Klug's bathroom, including taking a shower. Police found blood-soaked clothes in Klug's bedroom, including a pair of jeans that were identical to a pair of clean jeans that were stored in Klug's room. Investigators also found a garage door opener in Klug's room.

Detectives went out of the apartment and observed a trail of blood from the apartment to an open garage that apartment staff said was rented by Obih specifically for Klug's use. Investigators also found blood on an interior door handle to the garage, as well as an apartment key they believe belonged to Obih. Klug's grey 2008 Subaru Legacy was not in the garage.

Investigators later interviewed Klug's supervisor at the Indiana Dept. of Transportation (INDOT), where he was employed. His supervisor told authorities that Klug had been acting strangely during the week prior to Obih's death. Just before 5 p.m. Sunday, the supervisor told investigators that Klug had texted her saying that he would be on vacation for the next two weeks. The supervisor said that was highly irregular of Klug and violated company policy. Attempts by the company to reach Klug went unanswered and he failed to show up for work Monday and Tuesday.

The affidavit also mentions that investigators contacted Klug's relatives. According to those interviews, Klug had recently gone through a bankruptcy and was having financial problems. He was also having problems with a former girlfriend.

Authorities continue to search for Klug. While police believe he left the area days ago, they believe he may come back. Anyone that sees him should contact police immediately. You should not approach him.

Russel Crowe stars as 'NOAH': A Biblical story of EPIC proportions!



Biblical epics are a movie genre nearly as old as the medium itself, and anyone not vaguely familiar with the tale of Noah and the ark may be living under some pre-historic rock. But in the first trailer for his new movie "Noah," director Darren Aronofsky seems determined to make something that feels both familiar and totally original at the same time.

Trailer:


The basic set-up is nothing that we haven't seen before. Russell Crowe stars as Noah, the family man who has become plagued with dreams of the world's destruction. Crowe's "A Beautiful Mind" onscreen wife, Jennifer Connelly, takes on that role again, asking Noah what God has told him.

In these dreams, Aronofsky ("Black Swan" and "The Fountain") shows off his unique brand of intense visuals.

As Noah explains the oldest man in the world, Methuselah (Anthony Hopkins), the end is coming and it's going to be wet. So wet, in fact, that Noah and his family (a bevy of attractive young stars like Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Douglas Booth) have to build a really big boat to house themselves and every animal on the planet worth saving. Sorry, dragons and unicorns.

From this cruelly short teaser — why can't trailers be two and a half hours? — Aronofsky is clearly showing off that for his biblical epic, he wants to have it both ways. With the basic premise and imagery, this is an epic in the tradition of "The 10 Commandments" and "Ben-Hur," but he's filled it with enough new, stunning imagery to make people eager to hear the story of Noah all over again.

Be sure to catch Noah when it comes out in 2014! Have a great Friday!

A beautiful, promising and intelligent Nigerian woman killed in the US



I really get upset when I hear these sort of stories. Here's a beautiful, 26 year old lady studying for her PHD in Electrical Engineering. I can imagine the obstacles she had to overcome to get to where she did. In a world where female engineers are a minority here's a great example cut off in her prime.

Her name was Adaobi Michaella Obih. Her body was was found  at an apartment at Riverstone Apartments in Columbus, Indiana and is being investigated as a homicide. 36 year old Ryan Allen Klug, is a person of interest in the case. Ryan also lived in the apartment complex but has gone missing since Adaobi’s body was found.
According to therepublic.com

 'The roommate of a 26-year-old native of Nigeria living in a westside Columbus apartment complex has been charged with felony murder.Ryan A. Klug, 36, of 3461 Limestone Lane, Apt. 2134, is the prime suspect in the death of his roommate, Adaobi M. Obih, who suffered multiple knife wounds, according to a probable-cause affidavit.

Obih's boyfriend, Jude Osara, last communicated with her on Sunday afternoon, and then was unable to get text-message replies after that time, the affidavit said.
The woman's throat was cut, the charging document said, and blood-saturated clothes the same size as Klug wears were found in their two-bedroom apartment.

A warrant for Klug's arrest was signed earlier today, and Columbus police have reason to believe he may be in Ohio.'

Adaobi was the first of two children and was already pursuing her PHD in Electrical Engineering at just 26 years old, she is from Nigerian parents.
Rest In Peace Adaobi Obih. You lived a short life but you represented us well. May the long arm of Justice catch up with your killer.  Latest news is Klug has been officially charged.

Her friends are getting together to try set up a Memorial Schorlarship at LSU's School of Engineering, for more info check adobischolarshipfund

My wife is not interested in sex, help!






Hi guys, I got a pretty interesting mail (dmdbossblog@gmail.com) today and thought I'd put it right up.

 It reads 'Good afternoon DM, I'm a banker in Lagos and have been married for 2 years. The trouble is my wife never seems interested in sex. I'm a Christian and do not want to cheat on her. We have sex about once a month and even then it is passionless and mechanical. I'm loosing my mind. 

We have one child and that's the only reason I have not asked for a divorce. We have spoken about it,had counselling sessions, I have even prayed and fasted. I have even questioned God whether the concept of platonic relationships before marriages make any sense. I just thought to write because I'm really confused.'

Well I'm no expert in the subject so I'll put it out there, what's your advice? Pls no demeaning remarks

The Best Man Holiday: Black Cinema is back!


Say what you want, I love it when a black movie kicks up some dust at the box office!

The Best Man Holiday by Universal  is doing exactly that. Over the weekend it almost doubled its production budget of USD17m  by grossing USD31m, adding P&A costs total budget is USD40m, which it should surpass by mid week. I guess Director Malcolm and all the exec producers are going to have a great Christmas!

 Its release comes 14 years after the original when black movies like Soul Food et al were common place. It falls just in time for the festive season and hopefully it will be as good as the first. Black American  cinema is experiencing a resurgence. Personally I believe this is down to the Tyler Perry effect.

 I really hope the trend continues and we also see some African  cinema and African American hybrids (looking forward to Half of a Yellow Sun). Be sure to check it out once it comes to a cinema near you!

P/s Black American Cinema need to consider having a premiere a la London's Leicester Square in Lagos sometime considering the growing popularity of African American cinema here.

Gunmen storm Ekiti hospital at midnight, demand new born babies

These are the kind of stories that cause hearts to bleed. How can people be so inhuman in the 21st century? For those who are unfamiliar with ritual sacrifice, ritualists believe human beings have a 'star' essentially a good essence which attracts blessings, every human is born with it. By child sacrifice they pass the star to their Clients who usually gain monetary wealth in the process, it is common among secret societies in Nigeria and the world over.

Praying the fear of God will pervade the land and people turn from their sick and wicked ways.
Here's the story:

The public health centre at Irona Quarters in Ado Ekiti Local Government Area of Ekiti State was thrown into confusion in the early hours of Saturday when five unidentified men stormed the place, beat up health workers on duty as they demanded the whereabouts of a newborn in the facility.
A senior health official at the facility told newsmen in Ado Ekiti, on Sunday, that the five men had besieged the health facility at about 12:30a.m, beat up officials on duty and demanded the whereabouts of a baby delivered earlier in the day.
The source, who said the medical personnel, who were later hospitalised for various degrees of injuries sustained as a result of the beatings, tried to convince them that all the babies that were delivered in the centre in the last one week had been discharged, but the pleas fell on deaf ears.
One of them was said to have sustained a leg injury while running away and is now receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, while others were said to have been treated and discharged on Saturday.
The source said: “These people came in the night and asked that a baby that was delivered on Friday should be handed over to them.
“But the medical personnel on duty told them that the baby that was delivered had been discharged. This angered them and they started beating them up, just as they ransacked the entire rooms in the health centre before they left.”
The workers were said to have cried for help after the marauders had left and that neighbours responded and took the injured to the hospital.
Caretaker Chairman of Ado Ekiti Council, Mr. Tope Olanipekun, confirmed the attack after he visited the centre and was said to have expressed shock at the incident, describing it as “the highest point of callousness on the part of the perpetrators of the nefarious act.”
Olanipekun said on the telephone that “the incident actually happened and we are taking step to forestall further occurrence,” adding that “the doctor in charge had reported the case at the police station at Okesa and we are planning to fence all the health centres and beef up security.”
The chairman also explained that he had instructed that night duty be suspended at the centre pending the time adequate security measures would be put in place, saying “we have also advised that all expectant pregnant women in labour should be referred to Okeyinmi health centre.”
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Ekiti State Police Command, Mr. Victor Babayemi, said the incident had not been reported at the state police headquarters.

PREACHERS OF LA: VIDEO OF SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 (PART 1)!

 

Top of the morning to you! What a weekend! had a blast a GA2R's show hosted by Freedom Hall Friday! Those are my people right there! watch this vid of us messing around in Maryland, USA  this past summer  >>>GA2R and DMSQUARED in USA . There was also TAPE by HOTR on Friday and back to studio the rest of the weekend! Back to the blog, I get a call from my boy  Chibills, co-owner of  Different World Records, he begins to go on about Preachers of LA and how in the end times God will use unorthodox means to reach the world with the precious message of Jesus. 

Now Chibills  can be cerebral at times and this was one of such moments. I alluded to some of his points but the castigation the show recieved from the well respected Bishop TD Jakes also left me quite wary>> Bishop TD Jakes rebukes Preachers of LA
I decided to search the internet and it seems the guys at Oxygen (the production company behind the series) have done a great job of blacking out the series. However, DM the Boss your premier source of Gospel lifestyle related news has hooked you up, however we cant promise the Youtube wont take this vid down in the next couple of hours so enjoy it while it lasts.

My take is all these Preachers love the camera, they love the spotlight a tad much. As someone who does alot of shows I know how intoxicating this can be and sometimes it might even begin to get to your head. I think it's entertaining, it's not meant to be an hour of televangelism. It provides a vehicle where people can hear about a Gospel in a different albeit shocking manner. I think the show should focus a little more on the Preachers works rather than their material acquisitions. The' in your face' flaunting of wealth is a tad tacky.

The “Preachers of L.A.” cast includes Bishop Noel Jones (the aforementioned brother of Grace), a Jamaican-born self-made success looking for a successor for his business; Deitrick Haddon, a musician and songwriter whose life and career were rocked by a divorce scandal; Bishop Clarence McClendon, who reaches an audience of 250 million people each week with his international broadcast; Pastor Wayne Chaney, a young up-and-comer whose Antioch ministry is poised to become a “mega-church”; Bishop Ron Gibson, a former Crip who’s grown his Life Church of God in Christ flock from nine to 4,500; and Pastor Jay Haizlip, an Alabama-born former pro skater who overcame drugs to lead the Sanctuary of Huntington Beach.

I had to divide episode into two parts as the media blackout was giving me a nightmare! Here's Part 1, I'll drop part 2 tomorrow

My  immediate favourite character is  Bishop Ron Gibson the 'OG' /Original Gangsta.. it's refreshing to see a Pastor go back to the hood and talk to real Crips and not sound preachy. Pastor Jay too is cool, just cause I'm a closet skateboard head! Anyway here's the video, enjoy it till the take it off! and make sure you watch my video caterpillar>>>




It's DM! have a great week!

KANYE WEST BRINGS JESUS OUT ON STAGE!

'Jesus walks' by Kanye West', 'Hail Mary' by 2Pac, theres always been alot of Christian symbolism in secular rap. Some people call it the quest for artistes to associate themselves with a higher power.

 I feel this is a very dangerous trend. Especially for the Artist. When sacred and Holy symbols loose their significance and used as props in the name of artistic license  we mock the power and all they represent.

Here Kanye brings out what appears to be Jesus. Jesus appears to speak some words of direction to him but the whole context makes me uncomfortable, even the guy holding the camera says 'he's gone too far'. What do you think?

DIFFERENT WORLD RECORDS presents CHIBILLS in 'LORD KNOWS'


 Ladies and gents! Different World Records prsents, the very talented singer/rapper/songwriter Chibills! Presenting 'Lord Knows' the first track off his epic Mixtape 'Moments from Apocalypse'. This is real hiphop the purists will appreciate. A track about hypocrisy in the church with clever wordplaythat gets you thinking... I love it! Different World Records baby!
