Barbara Campbell, found her wings on the 27th of Dec 2019 beside her adored children ..’ – Aremuorin

Had no idea she had taken ill. Was heart breaking to learn she passed away from dementia on the 27th of December 2019.

I worked with her briefly in London. My colleague Christine Regurika took me to her house a couple times whilst we worked at Voice of Africa Radio.

She also reviewed my first album in one of her publications “Live Listings Magazine”. Internet was not very accesible then.

We used modems, in those days, so her business model and services were very apt and highly sought after, in the community unlike todays social media accessibility for vissibility.

She also gave me some great, writing tips. I, at the time, thought, she was rude and too imposing, lol, but she was on the money.

My brother, a sports mag editor, and sister, an English Grad, Major, agreed with her school of thought, much later on in my writing career when they pointed the same mistakes, I made again. Since then, I developed my own uniqe; style, voice and sound.

I can still hear her voice in my head. What a lovely, kind woman. Shall be fondly missed. I do.

I do not agree that she did not recieve mainstream recognition, cuz she did not need it. She succeeded in catering for her community who needed her and her services most.

Thank her, and thank God, for her. Thank you 🥰🙏🏿🤦🏿‍♂️ for all the thoughfulness & services to the community. RIP. Till we meet again.

#Jesus said to them, “A #prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home .. ‘

Mark 6:4

A spiritual perspective: On – Mark 6:4:

Some of the things I gathered from the last decade are “Purpose”, “Self love”, “Patience”, “Time” and such. See, self love carries you through your first instincts.

When people can not manipulate you further, that is when you begin, to become, mis understood.

And that is okay, cuz ignorance, is bliss. Humans will do humans. For as long as the wisdom of love prevails, the edges of victory, are for-long, for told, in perfect sight.

Just like a little girl told me last summer, “Fish are not mean’t to climb trees”. I say to you – “Self love brings clarity”.

More than 20% of your so called faithfull friends will drift away from you slyfully with disloyalty. Make room for them and close the door behind #them ..’ – #In14Ways

Read the full Oris interview here

The psychology of “Domestic Abuse” stems from a sense of brokeness of a sense of “Self Worth”. Victims feel they deserve the abuse. However, self love brings clarity. Speak out. No! You don’t deserve any form of #abuse ..’ – #Aremuorin

Ruti had only one judge chair turn on the Voice UK and still won the whole show. Don’t be a people (pleaser) follower. Do you. Stay true. Self love is an incandescent light that ignites from within.

The vision is yours to behold not theirs.

The Ignorance of #Envy ..’ – #In14Ways #Love #Aremuorin

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Black History, Black men, Education, humanity, Life Quotes, Nollywood, Politics, Racism

Written by Aremuorin

Lack of unity amongst some Africans, stems from, envy, jealousy and ignorance.

Rather than fortifying friendships, through collaborations, they rather project insecurities, fested with a crab in the bucket mentality.

Not me oo. My heart is true. My intentions are pure. Have no need for greedy, grabbing, and stunt queen moves.

I love sincerely, cuz God is love. I am blessed to the glory of love, and I don’t need their evil to make me feel good.

I was made good from my mothers womb. What God has blessed can not be unblessed. Love is golden. It has never lost, yet.

That’s why I know my worth.

When you see a fake kite flying in the sky at night, there’s no need to compare it to an aeroplane, cuz you know it won’t get very far. Sooner or later, it will fade away, into oblivion.

So stay, true, stay you and do you. Many were truely called, but very few were lovingly, chosen; for the greater good, of love. God is love.

Theres nothing above love.

Open Letter To Event #Organisers ..’ – #In14Ways #Aremuorin #MercyfulGrace

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Music, Review, Black History, Àrèmúorin, humanity, Black men, celebrity, Education

I’m a seasoned, super talented, multi award winning, professional artiste. I won, at least, 6 awards, this year alone, and turned down a few. My credits range from Obama to Macy Gray.

Media & Entertainment is my full time day job & career. I clock more than 75 hrs a week & do my fair share of media phillantrophy, giving back to the community plus it’s environs – internationally.

Therefore: Stop asking me to sing, or perform for you for free. Would you to go to train for your job, and put in 30 years of hard grafting work experience to be working for tea and coffee, or travel expenses?

Unless you are a nationally registered charity for a good, great cause; please oh, for the love of God, do not ask me again, to perform for you for free. It’s unprofessional & insulting.

We all have mortgages, rents and bills to pay. Winter, summer, or fall, bills, are to be paid. Studio time is not free, neither is my entertainment lawyer cheap.

It makes no difference who approached who first. It is just simply business. We are all selling our products and services, and they are not free. Otherwise, we won’t be trading, or still be in business. Enough already.

We all have our standards, and I have mine. 2020 vission in sight. No more dross.

People have been saying to me, directly, or directly, “Who am I, and why should I be paid?”.

Well, I put it to you, like this. Google me and find out what I have been doing for the past 30 years. You can also approach my approved, professional industry standard agents, past and present.

I’m not vain, un-reasonable, delusional or fame-mongering. There are plethora quicker ways to be famous in 2019. I am just simply passionate about my work and the people it effects. In between white supremacy & antquated cultural ignorances, we must all get along.

My post is not to offend anybody. That is the fact. Thank you. Merry Xmas & Happy New Year wishes.

See you on top.

British Nigeria Economic Summit ..’ – #In14Ways, #Aremuorin #BNES #MercyfulGrace

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Black History, Black men, Education, humanity, Racism, Review

I attended the British Nigerian Summit yesterday.

Listening to many of the speakers, some of the delegate’s presentations that got us all talking included the one with Hon Abike Dabiri, CEO Nigerian Diaspora Commission, among others, like Sam Bode-Odeyemi.

Sam Bode-Odeyemi gave a presentation on the future of Nigeria as a frontier in view of Technology frame-works by 2050. Thought provoking stats.

Sam was so kind enough to share his slides here 🥰.

The Irony of Forgiveness

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Education, faith, humanity, Life Quotes, Politics, Racism

My trophies are not made of earth. They are made of love. Safe away from thieves, swindlers
& moths ..’ – Aremuorin

I have learned through many encounters how God uses our enemies to lift us up, for if they knew what they were doing when they nailed Christ to the cross, they won’t have.

I understand forgiveness. We all might need it one day. That’s why I wish no evil on any one and I suffer no fools.

With love and hope in our hearts, we can move mountains, and we will do it again. God is the reason why. If he be for us who can be against us.

But when people are doing evil to others around you, and you continue to protect them, that’s when I’m not fcuking with you anymore.

My trophies are not made of earth. They are made of love. Safe away from thieves, swindlers & moths. Knowing that – “My love is not a door mat”.

That’s when I say, “Go fcuk yourself #then” ..’ – #In14Ways

The #Love Litmus Test: #In14Ways #MercyfulGrace

Written by Aremuorin

#Religion is a double edged sword. The other side is #politics. Did you know Africans were taken as slaves out of Africa, by westerners, on the Good Ship Jesus?

Whoever #manipulates you for #selfish agendas does not love you. I #believe in love. I believe God is love, too.

#People who love you won’t #enslave you, or your mind, to a self serving dogma. Love is #freewill ..’ – #In14Ways

The #Narcissism of #Bullies ..’ – #In14Ways #Aremuorin

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Black History, Black men, Education, faith, humanity, Life Quotes, Politics, Racism

Written by Aremuorin

Wish I knew this at ten when I was bullied and beat senslessly, for being unique, at home, and at school ..’

Ever been bullied as a child or at school? Even as an adult? Well here is an insight.

Malignant narcissistic sociopaths will demand apology, or forgiveness, from it’s victim(s) when it’s lost the power to manipulate, abuse, control, harrass, bully or inflict pain; any further.

It’s a last resort, to absolve from any responsibility and guilt, to project blame: to feel better. Very mature indeed ..’

Unfortunately, for them, forgiveness is a gift. Not theirs to demand, or withhold; arbitrarily, like they once did before. It belong’s to the victim.

Wish I knew this at ten when I was bullied, and beat senslessly for being unique, at home, and at school. So go heal yourself and let go in your own time. No pressure from any bully allowed. Love, light and power to you.

Here is a story of a black young girl bullied for her hair and how she dealt with it. This was profiled on the Kelly Clarkson Show.

Do The Work #First ..’ – #In14Ways #Aremuorin

by MercyfulGrace, posted in Àrèmúorin, Black History, Black men, celebrity, Education, Hollywood, Nollywood, Religion

As a young performer my modality for greatness were the greats like Aretha, Whitney, Andrea Bocelli & Pavarrotti. I always want to improve, no matter what.

I have also learned to not underestimate any performance moment. Even at Karaokee, or with friends. Magic could happen anywhere.

I can’t stand mediocrity. Despite my health challenges; I will try my best. Despite bad sound, poor engineering, poor sound check and levels. Despite the ignorance of humans, I will still push beyond my pain.

So, if you are an artiste, quit day dreaming and do the hard work. Bad managers blowing smoke up your behind when you have no substance will get you no where creatively.

An old friend of mine, a very seasoned sensational, award winning, westend musical theatre vocalist, who reprised the roles of Ella Fitzgerald and sorts; told me a long time ago: that her singing teacher always said to her –

“Do the work first and take the bow’s later”.

Those are my pennies I have to lend you ..’

Self #hate ..’ – #In14Ways #SpreadLove #Aremuorin

Don’t dignify yourself with trash. Below the barrel, common low IQ thugs. Nonentities slinging mud with #selfhate ..’ – #In14Ways

It’s clearer to me now that when niggers say they don’t know me they are projecting their ignorance with self hate. How pitiful and sad.

To represent my authentic self; how so glad. I’m sure there will be no street-cred, suicide, committed tonight.

It’s another day at the office of make believe; headquarters at – status-quo. I can see now. You are the man.

God bless you. I can’t help but laugh. But kindness is a gift. It rewards like Karma.
