YOU CAN BUY A BABY LEGALLY, NOW?













Babies with 3 Biological Parents!
Who exactly is a parent? What is the world turning into? So, it is not just about been a surrogate mother anymore? Getting a child is considered luxury by FDA just as having plastic surgery is.

Woah! What a comparison!
  
Well, the deal is, if you have the "available income at your disposal", you can have a baby. I wonder what that means. Anyway, this designer baby talk on CNN sure got my attention. If you have more information, let's hear about it.

I'm dating so many yet I haven't been on a date before...

What does dating mean or entail? Is it when you take girl to watch a movie? What is dating? Is it buying the girl flowers, in fact 12 red roses?
Is it kissing her in your car when you drop her off after a nice dinner at a cheap Chinese buffet?
Is it when your feet rises like Cinderella's when you get kissed under the moonlight at the front porch? A confused young lady asked, "A guy i like kissed me at the dance last night, does that mean we are dating now?"

So people, what exactly is dating?
Is there possibly one unique universal definition or meaning of dating?

Now, let me explain something. I have heard so many stories from different cultures and nationalities. Someone said that when you and girl are "talking", in America it means that you are officially dating, i.e, you are testing waters to see if the relationship would work. Another gentleman I spoke with said, "In my country, the fact that you took the lady for lunch does not necessarily mean that you are dating. You are considered an item only when the girl's parents approve." Huh? Isn't that a bit old fashioned and very traditional? Or am I missing something? I wondered. Also, I have heard this young lady say with such vehemence and passion, "The guy becomes mine only if he qualifies by supplying my needs". Taken aback, I asked her what exactly she means. Confident of her stance, she explains further, "He needs to prove his pocket capability. Once he buys me flowers, buys me the latest gadget, and so on, then I automatically call him my boo." Grinning, she finished.

Woah! I breathed. Some explanation that is. Anyway, not to get things mixed up after hearing these diverse explanations for dating in different places, I decided to seek your opinion. Please share your understanding of dating?

"I am not a stand-up comedian but a master of ceremony and a true compere" - Emmy Icon.



Let’s Chat with Emmy Icon...?
The first time I met him, I was not blown away until I heard him express his gift. He seemed ordinary but one thing I learnt quickly from everyone who was a part of the Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship was that there were no ordinary corps present in the group, they were all great men and women of caliber and extraordinary gifting. Think I'm joking, see their testimonies all over the world. LOL.

Anyways, back to my extraordinary individual, his name is Udosen Emmanuel. He says he is single and searching seriously for a lady 'extraordinaire', I hope.  He is a graduate of Marketing, a chartered risk manager certified by chartered institute of loan and risk management of Nigeria, a senior credit officer in one of the  foreign owned Micro Finance Banks in Nigeria and he is the proud CEO of the Mc Emmy Icon brand. In his words, he says, "I tell people I am not a stand-up comedian but a master of ceremony and a true Compere. I crack ribs for humor relief but I am not a stand-up comedian". Intriguing, right?

Well, his gift found expression in his final year in the university as an undergraduate, and with the support of his friend Segun or 'Juxtapose' as he is fondly called. But his full brand came alive in 2010 during the Nigerian mandatory one year National Youth Service Corp while he was a member of the Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship where he was the publicity Secretary.

Thankful for the offshoot of his gift into the limelight, he says, "special thanks to God that I came to NCCF because I truly know that,  despite gift, practice makes perfect. This platform shot me to a world of unlimited possibilities."

Speaking further,  he enthuses, "I am looking forward  to a time in Nigeria where an MC will be distinguished from a comedian. Many hustle to be a comedian despite the fact that they could have done well as a Master of Ceremony or Compere". When asked about his plans for the future, he has this to say, "God inspires me and every satisfactory delivery gives me hope of a great future"

 He has hosted a couple of events, which includes; over 150 wedding ceremonies and countless birthday parties and concerts,  Akwa Cross Vibrant Fiesta in Ibadan, Nccf 'contemporary without compromise' (a Christian gospel praise concert with over 3000 people in attendance, alongside some of Nigerian finest gospel artistes like Tope Alabi, frank Edward, Keffee, Benita ece tra).

His top clients include MTN Nigeria, American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS), Newstar, Royalty Assembly and many more.
