The search for the right wrong

We are all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you have been through enough relationship, you begin to suspect there's no right person, just different flavours of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some ways, and you are seeking out partners who are wrong in some complimentary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. It isn't until you finally run up against your deepest demon, your unsolvable problems - the ones that make you who you truly are - that you are ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you are looking for. You are looking for the wrong person But not just any wrong person; the "right" wrong person - someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, "This is the problem i want to have." I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.

"Dreams"

Dreams, as we’re using the term here, are defined as ambitions or aspirations. They are a part of everyone’s life. Some people have vivid and absolute pictures of what they want their lives to be. Others tend to see little of their future and just let life happen to them. Still others believe, sadly, that their dreams are impossible and meaningless. Dreams are, of course, a product of your mind. You alone can decide how badly you want a dream. But you have to know what you want before the universe can begin to help you see it as yours and produce it for you. That knowing is a decision on your part. No ambivalent feelings allowed here. When you know what your dream is, you can begin to form a picture. By seeing this picture often, with as much detail as possible, and by adding the emotions you believe you would feel working for and receiving your dream, you can make it happen. Of course, there is another necessary element, that of action. If you truly want this dream to appear for you, you will follow through with the appropriate action. That action proves to the universe that this is what you desire. If your actions are only half-hearted, your dream was only half-hearted. There is a last major ingredient to add to this picture. Gratitude! Picture the accomplishment of your dream as a gift and add the feeling of gratitude. Gratitude for something you haven’t even seen yet can make it much more real. Think on these things and realize that your positive thoughts are what bring wonderful things, material and otherwise, to your life. The life you probably want to create, one of beauty and fulfillment, depends on what your dreams hold. This is all not to say that you should live in the future. It is, rather, a suggestion that your dreams mean something. They are your mind’s way of telling you there is something good for you out there. To ignore them is to ignore an important part of yourself. Make your dreams work for you. This is your life, and nobody can make it something you don’t want, except you. You are in control. Theory The soul contains the event that shall befall it, for the event is only the actualization of its thoughts, and what we pray to ourselves for is always granted.

D'banj (Igwe d Koko)

D'banj was born to an artillery officer father and a church dignitary mother, who hailed from Shagamu in Ogun State. Due to his father's profession, he moved several times within Nigeria and also moved to India. D'banj was expected to follow his father's military career and was enrolled to the Nigerian Military School, Zaria at age eleven. Musical beginning D'banj grew up listening to Fela Kuti, who he cites as his "great mentor". He was introduced to the harmonica by his late older brother, Femi Oyebanjo, who died in a plane crash at age seventeen. With D'banj's love of music being greater than his parents' military aspirations, he struggled with his parents' approval, this can be best heard through an album track, All Da Way from his debut album. He derived his stage name from the combination of the first name and his surname. As a tribute to his mentor, Fela, D'banj brings Afrobeat to life and into the 21st century with breathless enthusiasm as well as a good dose of humor. His songs are based on his life, often hilarious but with a deeper meaning which documents the struggle of a young African trying to achieve his dreams. He performs in Yoruba, English and Pidgin English. All his albums are solely produced by Don Jazzy and himself. 2005, 2006: No Long Thing D'banj's debut album, No Long Thing, was released in 2005, yielding several singles, with Tongolo as the lead single. This proved to be his breakthrough single and a hit. It also provided his Koko Master persona, with the term, koko, taking on a variety of meanings. D'banj's debut success led to collaborations with other artists, this includes Dare Art-Alade's album track, Escalade Part 2 and Ikechukwu's album track,Doo.

2007: Rundown Funk U Up D'banj's sophomore album, Rundown Funk U Up, which was released in 2006, yielded several singles including the club single, Tongolo (Remix) and the lead single, Why Me. This proved to be another hit. 2007-2008: Curriculum Vitae
