  • Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel flown abroad for throat surgery

    There are speculations that Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel, was flown out of Ghana on a medical trip abroad.

    According to reports,Majid had revealed to his fans that he was jetting out of his country to undergo throat surgery in an unidentified country.

    Recall that in 2018, the actor who also doubles as a preacher reportedly complained about losing his voice, in an interview granted a news medium.

    Despite undergoing medical check-ups at different hospitals within the past two years, Majid said, the doctors had told him there was nothing wrong with his voice.

    “I don’t know what is wrong with my voice. I have checked at Korle-bu and 37 Military hospitals and they all said there is nothing wrong with my voice. They have checked my throat and everything is perfect,” he was quoted as saying.

    Majid who is known to play romantic roles had said that he has stopped playing such roles after he gave his life to Christ.

    According to him:” In his words, “You will not see my buttocks, you will not see sexually explicit scenes, you won’t hear bad language but you will identify things that will propel your spirit to somewhere great. Basically we will reduce all the explicit scenes you used to see. I’m going to regulate whatever provokes the emotions of man, be it sexually or any negative way. I won’t stop being bad in movies but I will regulate the kind of bad scenes you will see”.

    RELATIONSHIP – ONE NAIJA

    We will all find love someday

    We never know which way

    Our heart will want what it wants much to our surprise

    It will become Captivated, infatuated, seeing only love in each other’s eyes

    We will thank the day we found this love

    A perfect gift from above

    Packaged in imperfect perfection

    …it will seem

    Our hearts racing

    …for each day would be a dream

    Sometimes we would wonder If it is too good to be true

    Too scared to be heart broken, scared of facing the truth

    So we tell each other, I never want to lose you

    I choose you above all,

    I cannot spend a day without you

    Hand in hand we would run to tell the world

    The day has finally come

    We have found the perfect love

    Until those who love us, tell us that we cannot be one

    For though we may be perfect,

    He is igbo and I must go

    Who is to tell us when we are one?

    Is it you? Is it us? Or our ancestors dead and gone?

    Why should I be punished for a crime I never committed?

    Continuing this tribal war which says our love is not permitted

    This love is no weapon of war

    The battle you fight can never be won

    So tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine too

    Show me your history one page at a time

    Tell me, please tell me

    When are we one Nigeria?

     

    FOOTBALL – ONE NAIJA

    Nothing binds us more than

    …Football

    Such beautiful game,

    Bringing us together

    Like a melting pot of flavours

    It whets our passion

    Sends our hearts racing

    Roaring at the top of our voices

    Each goal a celebration

    We pledge to our nation

    A win is for our people

    Defending her unity

    A peaceful community

    Upholding her honour

    We are one Nigeria

    Nothing divides us more than

    …Football

    Such competitive game

    Ripping us apart

    Like families in time of war

    It ignites our anger

    Sends our hearts racing

    Defending our people

    Each miss becomes a chance

    To shoot down our neighbors

    Our tongues, a weapon

    Our tribes, an armor

    We’ve become a nation pretending in unison

    Switching identities

    From Igbo to Yoruba

    Hausa to Igala

    Ijaw to Efik

    Fulani to Urhobo

    We are 300 different people,

    Trapped in boxes of ethnicity

    Forgetting what unites us

    The blood which flows through us

    Because one of them has failed us

    Nothing reunites us more than

    …Football

    He who was cast down

    Has now made us proud

    So we come together again

    Chanting songs of victory

    He is one of us

    We are proud to be Nigerian

    No matter the regalia

    Until another fails us.

    When are we one Nigeria?
