NOW THAT WE ARE INSIDE ….. 2013!??

Dear Friends,

Third World in one of their popular songs asked this question….”Now that we have found love, what are we going to do with it?”

To rephrase and re-frame that question, now that we have made it into 2013, what are we going to do with and in it? Sure the parties are over. We are through with the fireworks. … some, regrettably with fatalities. The midnight, candle light services have long ended. Some New Year resolutions have been made and are still being made….

We are finally down to living…. the year, 2013!! It is like intending couples planning their marriage ceremony, wedding, if you like. They go into frenzy, drawing up a long to-do list, make various preparations, some necessary, some not quite so. Then comes the wedding day, and before you know it, it’s all over… and they are left wondering what all that fuss was about? I counsel them, that wedding though important, is for one day; the real deal is marriage which goes on, ideally, until death do them part. (While we are on the subject of marriage, I’d like to recommend a classic book by Dr. D.K. Olukoya, “40 Marriages That Must Not Hold”. It is not just for those aspiring to marry, but even those decades into it! I have been it for 15 years, and we are learning everyday…)

Back to 2013. For us on KingdomStreet, we have put our hands on the plough of 2013, and there is no looking back. We will continue to bring you thoughts, stories and events with wholesome entertainment value. We invite you to share your own stories, pictures and events with us, and as lies within you, do reciprocate our gesture. In these early days of 2013, we will also rerun some our blogs of 2012 to refresh you and enable some of you to get a grip of what we are about. We are dreaming big, working towards their achievement and believing God for His assistance. We pray you do so too, in your personal circumstances!

God is the author of every good dream.

ALIVE IN ..... 2013!

Dear Friends,


It’s good to be alive in 2013....and you are welcome!

No matter where you are on planet earth, or your time zone, it’s time to wake up and say “Good morning, 2013”

My prayer for you is that you live a fuller, more fulfilled life this year. And as the Bible captures it; “Dear Friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well” – 3 John 1:2 (NIV).

My local church, prophetically declares it; “My year of Divine assistance and breakthrough”. I agree with that, and for me, it’s “Move Ahead….. Straight!! (As the local bus conductors will scream. Lol!)

We all sure need a divine help along the journey, though.

2012... THERE IS AN END!

Dear Friends,

Assuredly, the year 2012 is on a countdown to become history. But, not your expectations and hope. "For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off" - Proverbs 23:18.

Be thankful, because whatever dreams, and desires or prayers that were not fulfilled in 2012, can still be met in 2013 and beyond. The important thing is to remain focused and connected to God - our source. Dreams and expectations are birthed and realized in His presence, and so I urge you to be in His presence on the midnight watch today.

Find a good church near you and fellowship with the brethren and let God hear your prayers. You are equally welcome to our candle light service today; 9 p.m. prompt @ CHAPEL OF DESTINY RESTORATION CHURCH, 2 Akinlabi Lane, off Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, by Round About Bus Stop, Ikeja. Lagos.

See you in 2013!

P SQUARE & DJ JIMMY JATT DAZZLE @ HIGH IMPACT RELOADED!

Dear Friends,


Find a brief report on High Impact Reloaded, Solution Media and Infotech’s year- end concert on 28/12/12. It’s part of our mandate to feature best practices in entertainment and show business….

Held at Landmark Park, Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos; the show was a visual and aural experience. Of note was DJ Jimmy Jatt, who, once again proved the master he is.
P Square, undoubtedly the stars of the night, thrilled with good lyrics, superlative dance routines and movements; and yes, they played the guitar! The lyrics in particular were realistic and meaningful. Covering almost all sphere of life, the inspiring lyrics took the audience through their rags to riches journey based on the principles of hard work, consistency and focus.

With a number of other acts thrown in, High Impact Reloaded was a great show…. even if I say so! Kudos to Solution Media. Being privileged to watch their maiden show @ the grounds of King’s College, Victoria Island, Lagos Nigeria, it’s obvious they have upped the ante in the conception and execution of world class musical concerts. We hope to see more of such shows in 2013!

BASIL CHINATU CHUKWUEZ I – A PROFILE

Dear Friends,

One of the things I promised on my blog before the year ends, is a profile of myself. I am keeping that promise, hoping that it will bring us closer to a working relationship towards achieving the objectives of kingdom entertainment! May we meet in the new year, 2013…

Basil graduated best of class in his set at Department of Theatre Arts, University of Calabar, Nigeria, and did youth service at the National Arts Theatre, Lagos. After a brief stint in insurance and journalism, he cut his management teeth through the competitive eighteen-month management trainee programme in Unilever Nigeria Plc (then Lever Brothers Nigeria Limited). He stayed on for another two years as District Sales Manager, Lagos, before joining the banking industry.

For over a decade, within which he acquired an MBA, Management, from ESUT Business School, Lagos; he worked in a number of front line Nigerian banks including Fidelity Bank Plc, First Bank of Nigeria Plc and United Bank for Africa Plc. Always in the customer facing function, his banking experience spanned consumer, corporate and commercial concerns; with key competences in multinationals, shipping and maritime. A thorough bred relationship management, credit, sales and marketing professional, he left banking in 2009, to pursue his private business, focused on oil and gas, real estate, logistics and entertainment.

Basil Chukwuezi is an ordained Pastor, and most importantly has dedicated the rest of his life to the services of God and humanity through Christian Pentecostal ministry and promotion of kingdom entertainment. He has a calling to revolutionize and position entertainment as a medium of enjoyment for Christians and relationship with their Creator. His belief is that Christians should enjoy an all round prosperity(3 John 1:2).

GOODBYE 2012, WELCOME 2013…. WELL, ALMOST!

Dear Friends,

No doubt, you had such a great time on Christmas day, with family, friends and loved ones. You are also looking forward to a prosperous new year, 2013. I, too.

But there’s a basic exercise I would equally want us to indulge this season. That is taking stock of the year 2012, on one hand, and on the other planning and projecting into 2013. The year 2012 is almost gone, and there’s not much we can do about it, but to analyze and see how we fared in it. We can then be in a better position to anticipate and attack the New Year with focus and vigor. I am not a great fan of football, but as with it and other games, I know that the best form of defense is attack. The attack is not as with one who boxes the air, but one that is from a standpoint of knowledge; that of your strengths, weaknesses as well as your opponent’s….

The best source of this knowledge is God, and the means to receive it, I recommend, is in His presence. Is it possible that we can shut down all the noise - well almost all – the mobile phone, earphone, movies, television, cars, airplanes and private jets etc; and plug into God? I mean spend some quiet time and ask Him real good questions (Matt. 7:7): why some of your prayers in 2012 were answered and some not, some answered in a different way from what you wanted, what He has in stock for your in 2013 in the areas of family, work, business, ministry and so on. What is the time frame, you ask? At least 24 hours. Not so difficult to totally devote one day out of three hundred and sixty-five to Him – for your own good!

Well, by His grace I just did that. On the morning of 26th December, after the merriment of Christmas day, I checked into the conference centre of Foursquare Gospel Church in a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria. It is a prayer camp of sorts with good accommodation facilities. I had, as fiction writers will say “cased the joint” a week before. I mean, located the place and actually looked at what they had on the ground. This meant of course that I was resolute to make the trip on due date. And it was a fruitful and rewarding date with God. No food, no water until I got home the next day, in prayer and meditation, I opened up to Him the various areas of my life and sought directions as well as answers. I came out with clear directions (And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left - Isaiah 30:21). Armed with His blueprint, I am in a better position to attack the year 2013…

Friends, you may not check into any fancy conference facility or prayer ground, your bed room will do! New Year resolutions and wishes are popular, cross over services are good, but a one on one meeting in quiet with God is perhaps all you need to learn from the experiences of 2012, and make a great success out of 2013. You still have some hours between now and 31st December. Why not use it, wherever you are?
