Having spent years as a victim of acute anger problems before finding the courage and strength to cure myself, I can tell you, anger is good. No, that’s not a typo. Anger is an instinct which Nature programmed into us so that we can save ourselves from danger, and it’s healthy. What’s unhealthy however, is what I was – a slave of my anger instead of being its master. No prizes for guessing how it was affecting my life and relationships.
If you’re struggling with anger management, I know how you feel.
You feel helpless.
You know you are the victim, not those whom your anger is directed against.
There are no words to describe the regret and guilt you feel to be unable to protect people you love the most from yourself.
The good news is you can find solutions if you want to. Here are some methods I followed which helped me overcome my anger issues completely.
There are three distinct stages of the journey to recovery:
A) Preparing the ground: How to prepare yourself mentally to even begin applying the methods for controlling your anger B) On the ground: What to do when you already feel the pangs of rising anger C) Aftermath: How to come back to your healthy self after an outburst
It’s going to be long, so grab a coffee if you like. I write with clinical or near-clinical anger issues in mind, but you can use the techniques outlined here to bring your anger under control anytime you feel it’s not.
A) Preparing the ground: You have to understand your anger issues before you tackle them successfully. The first step is all about getting to the roots of your anger.
1. Know your problem: Each one of us gets angry from time to time and it’s perfectly normal. However, if in the throes of your anger you say and do things that you otherwise wouldn’t believe you could possibly do, you could be suffering from anger sickness. That completely out of control feeling that you get in your guts when you’re having one of “those” moments is the surest sign of your anger having crossed the limits of healthy.
2. Take a decision to solve it: The next step is to really believe that you want to conquer your unhealthy anger. If you’re like me, this is most likely a challenge for you, because you feel most of the times your anger was “justified”. Yes, I know it was. If you’re an adult you’d know that the world may be a glorious, beautiful place, but one thing it isn’t is fair. Bad things which you don’t deserve will keep happening to you for the rest of your life, this one and the next.

Tu face's African Queen made history as one of the most successful hits in recent years. Apart from making Face 2 Face, the album in which it appears, sell widely, it also won a number of awards that shot its sleek-faced singer, Innocent Idibia, into further limelight. About four years after the Pan Africanist, pro-womanhood and highly exciting song hit the market, however, it has made another kind of history: it has become about the first piece whose copyright would be shared post-production marked by a controversy that surrounded its authorship.
In the deal, Tu Face and Blackface, his old friend and former partner especially when they existed together as Plantashun Boyz, alongside another reigning musician, Faze, have signed an agreement that they own African Queen's copyright 50-50.
This was arrived at at the instance of Murder Riddims/Kussu Productions, an international brand with which Blackface now has a production and publishing relationship. The agreement came after some underground discussion between Kussu, the musicians and Kennis Music, which released Tuface's African Queen.
In the controversy that heralded the signing, Blackface had raised the alarm that Tuface - vis-a-vis Kennis - had shortchanged him. His claim was (and is) that he is the original writer of the song. He argued that Tuface had denied him credit, just as Kennis had refused to grant him publishing right.
"The agreement was introduced by Murder Riddims Publishing, USA (BMI), which is a subsidiary of Kussu Productions," says the Managing Director of Germany-based Kussu Productions, Diddir Kussu.
"I wanted to be fair to all the parties involved. Therefore, I have convinced Blackface to share half of the ownership-rights with Tuface (50/50 ownership), because I believe that Tuface´s vocals have also contributed to the success of the song. However, it is not always the case with copyright issues. But I still think that it was fair to do that."
The agreement titled Original Song Acknowledgment Agreement, as obtained from Kussu by our correspondent, indicates, "The undersigned hereby acknowledges that the below mentioned original written created and composed in whole or in part, by writer(s) and acknowledge Riddims Publishing and register the composition worldwide under co-ownership basis of 50/50 (writers' share) between Mr. Augustine Ahmedu and Idibia Ujah Innocent."
While Blackface signed first, Tuface signed second, with the endorsement dating March 26, 2008. Indeed, many Nigerian musicians - vis-Ã -vis other players in the entertainment industry need to see the original copy of the agreement - or any other standard one, for that matter - to know how such are structured in standard practices.
Although there are indications that some other issues are still being worked out, none of the parties contacted by our correspondent denied knowledge of the new order. In a telephone interaction, the Chairman of Kennis Group, Mr. Kenny Ogungbe, he said the ownership had truly been shared.
"It is true that Innocent Idibia and Austine Mamadu share the rights as you said," Ogungbe said in a reply to a text message by our correspondent.
Tuface also told our correspondent in a chat that the implication of the agreement was that the two of them wrote the song.
When contacted for an interview at Parish Suites in Festac Town, Lagos, however, Blackface, who was amidst some fans, beamed an air of the euphoria of his new album, Me Music and I, as well as the excitement of having got a share of African Queen.
"When the album was released, I wasn't credited," he said. "And when I asked them the reason I wasn't credited, they said it was a typographical error. They said they were going to correct it. But I insisted that as a writer, I am supposed to get some publishing from that. They didn't have to leave me out.
"But they even later said it was it was Tuface Idibia that wrote the song, and Kenny Publishing that was publishing it."
Like Murder Riddims/Kussu management, Blackface admitted that it was the relative undeveloped culture and structure of the Nigerian music industry that put him on trial, a way of admitting that he too took much for granted.
"Because this is an environment where the music business has not grown that much, people write songs, but do not know they are entitled to the right," he said. Initially, he added, he did not have enough strength to fight the cause. "I just had to tell my company when the song was released, and they have so far pursued it. Right now, we have all the documentation and all evidence that I am a writer of that song."
But what was the initial understanding between him and Tuface? According to him, he wrote the song sometime around 1997/98, at the beckon of an outfit that wanted a song around the African female royalty. But by the time the chap needed the piece, he had not finished work on it. That was why he did not pass it across to the initial 'contractor' again.
"I put the song into my archive initially. But when Tuface wanted to do his album, I said - men, you can add this song to your album.. But my understanding with him was not that he was going to say I am not the writer, and my understanding with him wasn't that I was not going to get publishing money. You have to give the other person what belongs to him," Tu Face maintained.
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since African Queen was released. Huge sales have been made directly or otherwise, suggesting that some good cash that might have entered Blackface's pockets had not. Indeed, a layman may wonder what is in it for him again - why does he have to bother his head when African Queen is not that hot on the scene again. Yet, he thinks otherwise. Â Besides, he notes that his Kussu is still exploring every means to get every card onto the table.
"The music is still in the market. It is still being used. The music is being played. As long as it's going to be played for the rest of my life, and the rest of my kids' lives and the rest of my kids' kids' lives, there is a lot in it for me. So, the publishing of that music has got to still go to who the rightful owner is. It doesn't mean because it was put in an album in 2004, and this is 2008, I'm not going to get what is duly mine. It is never too late to do the right thing. It is never too late to get what belongs to you."
Our correspondent, yet, asked Blackface why he did not sing the song himself. "When I was writing that song, I wasn't writing it with the intention that I was going to sing it. There are songs I wrote that time that I was thinking either Two Face or Faze would sing. It is from 2004 that I decided that I must start writing songs that I would sing myself."
A marketing manager in the Kussu family, Michael Mittern, noted that the issue of songwriting should never be taken with levity as it is a major source of good money in other climes.
"Here is the reason why the story behind the copyright issue is important," he said. "Unlike in the Western countries where most of the artistes are making money from songwriting than from performing, in Africa most of the artistes are living from the gigs and show performances. It means African artistes must perform in the public, touring in different cities in order to make a living. But in the western world songwriters are very important in the music business, they may not be good singers or performers but the fact that without a good and well composed song, there can never be a "Hit Song". Songwriters are important in music industry, they live from royalties they receive from performance and mechanical right organisations.
"The performance royalty is paid to the songwriter and publisher when a song is performed live on the radio or film. The mechanical royalty is paid to the recording artist, songwriter, and publisher based on the number of recordings sold.
"In withney case, songwriter such as Kenneth "Baby Face" Edmond was the one who has made a large fortune out of her career. In short, it is very important that the public in Nigeria as well as people in the entertainment industry understand the value of the creators behind the big successes and realise that they deserve to get paid.
"The worse thing is that, until today, Blackface has not received any dime from one of the greatest songs in African music history of the new generation. The issue here is clear: songwriting is a gift from God and should not be taken for granted."
Breakfast at McDonald's This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!): I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.
The last class I had to take was Sociology.
The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with.
Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.'
The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.
I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.
Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning.
It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.
We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did.
I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.
As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.
As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling'
His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance.
He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching.
The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.
I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).
Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.
I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.
I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.
He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.'
I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope..'
We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.
We are not church goers, but we are believers.
That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.
I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.
I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.
Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?'
I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.
She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son,the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student..
I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.
Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to
LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

I thought i had arrived when i met a girl called favour but i never knew she was just going on a transit, it was a full blow when she practically told me at the peak of my love for her' that she is no longer intrested in the relationship that we could just be friends! when it all started i spent a lot of my hard earn money on calls every now and then!,we even at times talk all through the night, in the name of love! but i believe the problem started the day i tried making love to her she questioned my action but i then apologised for my over exaggerated emotion,although she accepted my apology but was calm all through till she left my house,she even called me to tell me she has gotten home but the next thing she was telling me when i called her at night was that we could just be friends,the painful aspect of it is that she is not even a virgin! according to her she has even done abortion before in the past and that at her early age, i think when she was eighteen years of age she was raped by three guys;that was how she was deflowered,so when i pondered upon her past record i then thought i was not necessary begging her! for reconciliation after all she is not a virgin or what do you think?
