Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria. In a widely circulated voice recording, the deceased recounted how what was meant to be a simple homage turned violent. Although the Baba Ọba had reportedly battled ill health in the past year, growing insinuations suggest that the alleged physical assault may have aggravated his condition, ultimately leading to his untimely death. The palace in Oyo recently denied that s...
Haters almost killed my dreams. I was threatened, friends rejected me, attacked physically, attacks on FB with fake profiles saying, my blog will not last a year. Thank God Esabod is GROWING. Though, the threats on me continue. Who cares! Once you believe in yourself, ignore distractors...
Remember! NO FAME OR SUCCESS NO HATERS. That is the price you pay for being a public star. Also being in the public eye cannot be easy.
WHY YOU NEED HATERS IN YOUR LIFE says Esther Tokunbo Aboderin JP
The more successful you are the more haters and competition you will have? Even the most lovable person on Earth must have haters because some people are just plain evil and jealous. And if you don't have any haters it probably means you have nothing to be jealous of. Haters are actually leading indicators of success. The more vociferous your haters, the more likely that you're doing something right, and it's driving them insane.It’s pretty safe to say that at least 75% of the people on the planet are haters. That’s sad for them but good for you.Why?
Because haters will never get anywhere or make anything of their lives. If you’re consumed by hate it’s impossible to do good things. You can’t achieve your dreams or help others when you’re wallowing in hate all day.
If you are trying to do something better in your life, having a better lifestyle or for example travel, in other words, you have big dreams (and you should have big dreams) probably you met with the opinions and advice of you friends, family members and other people. And I bet that they told you that you are crazy, that you are only a dreamer and that you should come back to the earth or something like that. And I want to give you a great advice: do not listen to them. Do not listen to opinions of people who will distract you on your way to your dreams and goals. Keep your dreams to yourself only telling those that are pursuing the same dream as you. Never allow someone to kill your dreams. Some people are very insecure about their own dreams. They feel like they hate their job and if they quit and pursue their dreams, they won't make it. They feel since they won't make it you won't either, and they want to see you get hurt.
Haters? It’s not as easy to ignore them as it is to ignore the haters shit-talking other people. Firstly, congratulate yourself. You can judge your success by the number of haters you have.If you have an opinion, are original, real, fearless, take risks and put yourself out there you will have haters. They only chase the one carrying the ball.The key is how you respond to them and how you let them affect you.We’re all human so at some point the haters will get you down when they push the right buttons.I do not care how realistically they talk, just do not listen them. Why? Because you should listen advices and opinions from successful people and they will tell you the exact opposite. They will tell you that you can do it, that you will achieve your dreams and goals, that you have the potential to do it, just like anybody else. They will also tell you that you should dream big and have a big goals. The truth is that they had also big dreams otherwise they will not be successful. That is why they are where they are. At the top. I want to tell you through this article the same. Do not listen to advices from your broke friends, family members and people. They are not qualified to do so anyway. I know the feeling that is inside of you, the feeling and voice which is saying to you that you can do it, you will achieve your dreams, you want something more in life. Just start to listen this voice, because after a while you will recognize that this voice is your own intuition. The truth is when you are listening your intuition you will always doing right. This is the different between ordinary people and goal achievers. Develop different kind of thinking - thinking in the certain way. You will get rich not by doing certain things, but by doing things in a certain way. Remember that. Never ever give up on your dreams, because life without dreams is just like a piece of paper. Dream big that you ever have been before. Take action and you can have whatever you want.
