Gospel Music just found a new Promise

“After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” words from ― Aldous Huxley. Music is the cure to so many forms of illnesses and no one ever suffers from an overdose of it. The basic challenge though lies in content and dexterity.

Of all the genres of music though, Gospel music is the least celebrated as very few gospel artists really put their back into the trade. Many see it as a work of God so they tend to handle the music unprofessionally.. how sad. Few artists have been able to carve out a niche for themselves in quite short a space of time and such artists must be encouraged. I rarely do artists reviews but when I do, its important the world makes a mental note of these artists cos they will shake things up.

                                                           

            Born in Imo State, Nigeria Promise, Uche Benson is one name gearing up to take over the Gospel music industry in Nigeria. With a vocal dexterity sound and varied enough to make Israel Houghton wince, this graduate of Sociology from the University of Abuja in Nigeria, has been around for a while. His first album Time and Chance, spent no time on album shelves and indeed enjoyed success on airwaves. Already working on a second album titled Superman, Promse Benson is indeed a super man as he has pulled off works and penned down hit tracks with Asu Ekiye, Samsong, Chris Morgan, Buchi and myself (hopefully when I finish working on my voice enough to sing). 

                                          

With two singles already out Reality and Big one, its only a matter of time before this chap sits comfortably amongst the 'A list' gospel acts in this part of the world and invariably the globe at large.

5 Year old Boy, brings heroin to school--- Step Father gets arrested

POLICE have arrested a man after his five-year-old stepson brought 50 packets of heroin to school for show and tell.

The US boy went to kindergarten in Bridgewater, Connecticut, on Monday with his stepfather's jacket and pulled out the drugs in 10 small plastic bags when it came time for his presentation to the class, police told the Connecticut Post.

 

The teacher grabbed the bags away from the boy, and the principal called police.

The boy's stepfather, Santos Roman, 35, was arrested after arriving at the school.

Roman was searching the school for his stepson when he saw the jacket in an empty classroom, grabbed it and ran out of the school, police spokesman Keith Bryant told the newspaper. He said police, who had already seized the drugs, then took Roman into custody.

Roman was detained on $US100,000 ($97,309) bail on risk of injury to a minor and drug charges. It's not clear if Roman has a lawyer.

The boy was put into state custody until other relatives could be located.

9 YEAR OLD GIRL GIVES BIRTH

A NINE-YEAR-OLD girl has given birth to a healthy child in northeast China, MX reported today (AEDT).

The baby, reportedly a boy, was delivered via cesarean  and weighed in at 2.75kg, MX reported.

Circumstances surrounding the girl's pregnancy were unknown, but her parents have sought legal help, the City Evening News reported, as sex with a child under the age of fourteen brings with it an automatic rape conviction.

Despite the young age of the mother, from Songyuan, and the potential for severe complications, it has been reported the mother and her new baby are doing fine.

The baby was delivered at Changchun hospital, in the Jilin province, with nursing staff refusing to comment.

Young pregnancies are reportedly on the rise in China..

A Shanghai hospital said about 30 per cent of abortions were on school-aged girls.

Stab victim proposes to attacker at UK trial

A CHEF in the UK who nearly died after his girlfriend stabbed him with a kitchen knife went to her trial - to propose marriage.

The UK Sun reports that Gregory Todd, 48, took a gold and diamond engagement ring with him and got Tiffany Baillie's attorney to pop the question in the court.

But she was returned to prison Thursday without answering. Todd now faces an agonizing wait until Wednesday, when she is sentenced.

                                                              

He spent three months in the hospital after fellow chef Baillie, 32, plunged the knife in his back as he slept.

She was distraught at losing their baby in a miscarriage and they had a drunken argument.

The attack in Hessle, northeastern England, also happened near the anniversary of the death of Baillie's son.

She said to cops, "What have I done?" Baillie admitted wounding with intent. Now Todd is praying for a suspended sentence.

Lawyer Paul Genney said at Hull Crown Court, "Mr. Todd has brought a ring to propose. They want to get married."

Judge Michael Mettyear said, "I want time to think about it. This is a difficult case."

Speaking outside court, Mr Todd said: 'I love her I want to marry her. She didn't know I was going to propose today but I was.

    

"I wanted to give her the ring but they won't allow it in prison. I hoped she would get a suspended sentence, so I could propose today.

"She had a miscarriage and lost our baby two weeks before this happened and it was the anniversary of the day she lost her son Lucas who was 10 weeks old. We were both upset. Now I just want her home.
