Marry That Girl!



Candid Advice To A Younger Brother On The Brink Of Success


A few nights ago myself and a younger friend/budding film director found ourselves listening to a podcast from Joe Rogan as he and his guest discussed the comedy business and how many men and even women have been involved in sex scandals over the last few years: resulting in job loss. And I couldn’t help but thank God for all of the doors he's closed on me, how many opportunities I Myself declined and the fact that I’m finally in a committed relationship: looking to marriage. Because quite frankly the man I was 10 years ago would be absolutely DEVOURED by the industry. I simply didn’t have the maturity to withstand the temptation, fame, and money. I would probably have a million ex girlfriends, unexpected children; be lost, insecure, bankrupt by 30, God only knows what else. I imagine I would want to settle down with a woman around this time but would not have a clue who to trust.

So if I were able to make our conversation public It would go a little something like this: “RUN!!! DON’T DO IT" wait until you’re older and see if you still want it”

But of course you are a young man who is bent on going into the industry at such a young age and chasing fame. So instead I’ll say: "You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Hollywood stars are lonely. Fame and worship are not meant for human beings."

We all know what Hollywood’s like, we’ve heard all the child star stories (they don’t end well) and now people are losing their lives (their livelihoods) and quite literally their lives to women who are promiscuous, money hungry and honestly: some men are not holding themselves accountable and are finding themselves in positions where they are legitimately attacking or being accused of attacking girls, resulting in prison (and rightly so).

So again IF you have to follow your dreams to Hollywood: ‘Marry. That. Girl.’ or/& love the one you’re with. Don’t get to a place where you need real people around you but the only real person you had (Your Wife) is now gone!




Who’s “that Girl” you ask?
Whoever your parents hoped you’d marry, whoever your family and friends love.
Every man has that girl in their life. The one that has been recommended by family and all your friends are like “dude why are you guys not together?” 

She’s the good version of the model you’ve been stalking on Instagram, the opposite to the girl you’ve been pursuing with the “thick” body and bad attitude. The one that would be amazing for you; she’s patient and will challenge you, and the only reason you’re not with her is because you don’t recognise what love really is.
Because that’s the good girl, whoever she is in your life: marry her now! and stay faithful, it’s not worth the so called “fun“




Or maybe you just have this insatiable drive to have sex with as many women as you can before you settle down. You want to take advantage of your opportunities because that’s now going to make you whole and satisfied. In fact with your new found swag, looks, money and even status you’re now going to get payback for all the girls that didn’t want to sleep with you in high school?
It doesn’t work my dude, we’ve seen celebs talk about it and I’ve seen dudes try.
I’ve seen guys literally say “I’ve had my fair share of women, and now I’m ready to settle down” But now they STRUGGLE to settle down. I mean they got married because of loneliness so they do appreciate their wives; they may even have kids: but theyre not monogamous. Not mentally. They spend all day days stalking hot girls online and try to  relive moments vicariously through their single friends. Because whatever you do not manage now, will manifest later. "There are no shortcuts to success and success means peace." (Devon Franklin interview) They’re not satisfied dude because something that they should’ve put a cap on, they didn’t (and we can’t be satisfied until we master our lusts);
Take note of this quote:

“To love one woman is to have loved them all, to love many is to have never loved at all”

A real relationship is challenging dude, to love one woman is challenging, it’s a journey and it will make you the best human being you can ever be; patient, caring, understanding, hardworking, a scholar of your woman.
And That’s why Steve Harvey says you can be a successful man without a woman but you cannot be a GREAT MAN without a woman. And the successful man is the man who made all the money, had sex with all the girls and is now empty and struggling to stay in a monogamous relationship. And is now possibly losing all of his success because he couldn’t keep it in his pants or he couldn’t take responsibility; or he found himself able to be accused of something because of his promiscuous reputation.
I’m just telling the truth man some celebs, millionaires business men are such a target because they slept with everyone. Now who’s gonna not believe it when the accuser says X was with them the other night..? Not their wife. (Well hopefully their wife but it’s not a given)



“The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:22‬ ‭NLT

Here’s the truth. That song: ‘I’m every woman’... it’s real. 
One GOOD woman represents them all. In the words of the great Steve Harvey’s “it all feels the same” Honest men will tell you the defining factor is whether you love the woman or not, how beautiful and amazing the woman’s face and body is has no bearing on how good the sex is.
Listen young blud. Man to man: I just don’t think having money, fame, the public eye, influence & responsibility is the time to go on the ego trip: having sex with lots of Women. (that’s when you have EVERYTHING to lose)


As Joyce Meyer said:
Your Gift Will Take You where Your Character Can't Hold You

Let’s do the work, let’s become the men we dreamed of, the men with flaws and insecurities we own up to and pursue to correct, and let’s enjoy that building process. Let’s not give in to the vein lusts paraded on TV (and social media of course)

Why LeBron James Shouldn’t Have apologised For 'Jewish Money' Instagram Post

Why LeBron James Shouldn’t Have apologised For 'Jewish Money' Instagram Post

Why Be Offended When You Can Rectify It?



In 2019 in seems like everybody’s getting offended on a new level

But my question is: why be offended and seek out an apology instead of using it as an educational stand point.

Lebron James had to apologise to the Jewish community for reciting the lyrics to a rappers song saying “We been getting Jewish money” on his Instagram. 

Now if you don’t already know: Lebron James is an extraordinary athlete, not only one of the basketball GOATS but he has THE most squeaky clean record of a child star. He’s a GREAT father, faithful loving husband, there’s no controversy around him outside of sports. And he’s now opened a school, for deprived children, teaching entrepreneurialism. 
So it would make sense that he would quote this lyric. 
Because FYI a common conversation around black communities all over the world is economic support and growth around each other, this is something that we very much value and admire about Jewish people, Muslims generally and Asians. The support network.
What black people need to take into account is that we are THE most united race, United by colour. 

Think of it. “White people” as a race don’t necessarily “stick together” as a community, we’ve all heard of rivalries and even historical hatred between England vs Ireland, Germany, Poland. I would never guess that India and China are part of the same continent. In England these communities don’t seem to mix socially...
And that’s neither good nor bad I’m just saying black people are united, more united than all continents, look at Brexit vs England.

But what is said that Jewish communities don’t like is not the fact that he implied that Jewish people have money per se, but that there is a stigma that Jewish people are greedy and stingy. Which is understandable that that would be a problem, I get it. 
And therefore he was forced to apologise.

My thing is The lyric quoted by LBJ was clearly a term of endearment and then rejected (understandably)
But it was clearly a misunderstanding, clearly him having a big platform to recite this lyric was an issue so therefore why not use this same platform as an educational tool to not shame him but to say “hey this is how your video came across, we’re sure you didn’t mean it like this so could you please make a public statement enlightening your followers and the world on this subject and clarify” 
That education would ultimately make the world and next generation more aware, better and could bring black and Jewish communities closer together, opening doors to more economic and social growth on both sides. 
But the truth is we don’t actually care about solutions and a better world we just like controversy. We like to name and shame, the world seems to want revenge on celebrities right now. 

One day my 70 year old, white next door neighbor called me coloured... after seeing my facial expressions as a response to that word he apologised and I was like. “No need” we both get it, you didn’t mean to offend, you know I don’t like it, BISH BASH BOOM! Let’s Move on better than before. Why should he now have to feel bad about what he said comment why should he now have to apologise. Then we sat down, held hands and sung ‘ebony and ivory’ a few times) 

But again we don’t wanna get to the route of the problem to find a solution we just want to feel self righteous right now. Whether it’s our attitudes with saving the planet, veganism or gender issues. It seems a lot of us just want to name and shame, with no care of growth. 

And that’s why we say things like...
“Oh no You can’t SAY that!” “You can’t SAY, Coloured, N!gger, F@gg0t, Transexual or Brainstorming!” 
We never deal with the real issues behind the insults, we don’t use these moments to educate people on why they cannot use these derogative terms against us.
We just say “you can’t say that”
Which really means we can think these things, but we better not say them.

Did Bob Myers’ drunken blunder single handedly put an end to the Warriors reign?

Thursday 4 April 2019

Did Bob Myers’ drunken blunder single handedly put an end to the Warriors reign?



Growing up in Brighton, England since my teens I’ve often met with intrigue and often concern when I refuse an alcoholic beverage on nights out. My response nearly always gets met with the assumption that I drove to the event. If at that point I reply back with “No I actually don’t drink alcohol” that’s when the intrigue from others sets in and I am forced to really question why I’ve never been drawn to alcohol. (Besides the obvious point that it’s not great for my body)
I remember before my parents ever attended church: myself and my older sister’s (BisaNation) Saturday night would consist of eating jolloff rice, watching Blind Date and Catchphrase followed by being taken to a fun party in london every Saturday night without fail. 
And once my parents became born again Christians we ended up worshipping at a predominantly Ghanaian Pentecostal church with; LOUD music, loud instruments, food, anointing and amazing energy. And within these two cultures there never seemed to be a need for alcohol. 
Especially as I gained more responsibility with the church youth and came across this statement in the bible:

“Alcohol is NOT for Kings” i.e. those with responsibilities



I remember coming across this interesting and clearly accurate bible scripture where Solomon (the richest and wisest man to Ever live) was being advised by his mother At a very young age saying:

“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine. Rulers should not crave alcohol.”
‭‭“For if they drink, they may forget the law and not give justice to the oppressed.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:4-5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

And That’s why WHEN Kevin Durant leaves; it will be because Golden State GM Bob Myers BLEW iT!

I’m not sure if he will leave in 2020, but if he does; it won’t be just because Draymond Green called him a B!t@h on international Television On 13 NOVEMBER, 2018 in a loss to the LA Clippers. Watch Here

Oh No No No on the contrary: What Draymond called him was just the icing on a slow oven cooked well risen cake. But the egg, milk and self raising flour was in the making way before November when Bob Myers decided to ‘stir the pot’, back in 11th June 2018, at the Golden State Warriors Championship Parade that Durant was very much a part of: when he highlighted the fact that Kevin Durant can NEVER fully be seen as an indigenous part of the GSW.

At the celebration Myers responded to the host on stage whilst talking about Durants upcoming salary negotiations saying “No that’s different” (speaking about Steph Curry) “he was here in the way before days, he’s earned it” therefore implying what EVERYONE else at the time was implying: That whatever good Kevin Durant does, whatever greatness he shows on the court: He essentially just jumped onto an already winning team.

Watch Here




Now just for the record this was never my thoughts on the matter. Durant can go where he wants. And frankly if I’m going to be completely honest: The league changed with Lebron’s move to Miami. When the Aspiring ‘G.O.A.T’ (and greatest player in the league at that time) went to play with:


Chris Bosh (Already an All Star player, Franchise Player)



Dwayne Wade (Already A CHAMPION, FINALS MVP, HOF, and rated as THE 3rd best SG in NBA history after Jordan and Kobe.



Ray Allen (Already an All Star player, CHAMPION, one of the TOP 2 Three point shooters in NBA history

   It opened a flood gate and changed the expectation of Top players. A league will ALWAYS follow the best player. Whereas Durant has never claimed to be the G.O.A.T, he’s even stated that he doesn’t want to be a leader. So in my eyes he is free from the GOAT debate and has less expected of him. He can follow, lead, or play anywhere he wants; and time will ultimately tell where Kevin Durant is on the all-time list.

But for this to come out of Bob Myers mouth at this time was probably the most humiliating and ostracising thing that he could’ve done. There was no turning back from that.

I know Kevin Durant was thinking... “I gave you everything guys, I trusted you and you humiliated me and turned your back on me in front of the whole nation.” That moment probably altered his whole perspective.
Watch Will Cain Talking about it:




Now after watching that if you still don’t think this is a big deal let’s get some perspective here: If you follow the NBA trades you have no doubt heard about the abuse Kevin Durant took once his decision to leave The Oklahoma Thunder became public: resulting in Durant locking himself in his house all summer. He said It was the first move that he had to make by his own decisions as a man and the first time that he’d been hated. So If you have any people pleasing issues (and most of us do) then you can only imagine what it feels like for anyone, to have to step into independence on the worldwide stage.

Now Bob listen; In Kevin Durant you have a mega superstar, potentially the best player in the game, who happens to be very humble and not domineering, who actually will be ‘The man’ if you want him to be in the 4th quarter. And you blew it because he wanted to get drunk and play with the other boys. Bob Myers made it very clear in this statement what he really thought (even in jest) I guess he thinks Durant is a sell out and a glory hunter.



Bob Myers May not have won “Donkey Of The day” BUT I think this is exactly why the good book says “Alcohol Is Not For Kings”
