Ogiame Atuwatse III
Did you listen to the speech he gave during his coronation?
Did you see how his wise articulating words drenched our minds with wisdom?
How they fell upon the hungry ears of his subjects
So aggressively like the rainfall after August break
And flowed ceaselessly and seamlessly like the Warri River
Oh! I can tell that the Warri River felt a different surge on that faithful day
It will forever testify of his ability, agility and capacity.
Ogiame Atuwase III, may your reign be smoothSmoother and more colourful than the boat ride on that day
.Did you follow up with the worship session he led?
I can tell you were blessed.
Even the enemies felt terrified and fled
See how he prayed for the healing of the land that once bled
Did you study his countenance?
Calm, cool and comely.
His regalia made us appreciate more the beauty of our culture
And the heritage birthed from our tradition.It was a display of vigor and strength
An exhibition of royalty in utmost simplicity and dignity.
How can we forget in a hurry the authority in his voice?
The charisma and character is desirable.Did you perceive the alluring fragrance of his boldness?
It blew across the land like the strong wind that made the palm tree to bow
And made the other trees to whistle and dance in excitement.
Ogiame Atuwase III,
may your reign be long May Your kingdom
promote His Kingdom
May you rule with wisdom
And may the people sing a new song.

Marcia Llyneth Griffiths, better known as Marcia Griffiths, is a Jamaican Reggae singer. Hailing from the land of Reggae and music i.e. Kingston, Jamaica, Griffiths’ success is due to her captivating voice and smooth love songs along with her wonderful live performances. Over the course of her career, she has produced most of her music in the Reggae genre and has also tried her bit in the Roots Reggae too. Being active from 1964, Griffiths has had associated acts with The Wailers, I Threes, and Bob and Marcia.
Griffiths started singing professionally at the tender age of 15 when she performed on stage with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. She was brought to the mainstream music industry by Philip James of The Blues Busters, who heard her singing in her neighborhood. Right after her performance, she was offered singing contracts by Clement Dodd and Ronnie Nasralla of which she chose the former and produced a series of duets for the Studio One label. Her popular duets are with Tony Gregory, Bob Andy, Bob Marley, and Jeff Dixon. Her career from then onwards sky-rocketed and she has collected accolades from all around the world. In 2014, she received the Jamaican Order of Distinction for her work in the reggae music industry.
I am a Jamaican marketer and brand strategist whose career started as an artist manager and event producer. With an uncanny balance of left and right brain, I leverage my ability to conceptualize, create and communicate, with the ability to organize, coordinate and execute to guarantee great results every time.
I have worked as a brand consultant at different levels across all sectors of the Jamaican Creative Industries – music, theatre, advertising, events, media. From crafting communications plans for the Queen of Reggae, Marcia Griffiths and Jamaica’s Songwriting Icon, Bob Andy to producing radio programmes at the RJRGleaner Group, I have gathered a wealth of experience along her career.
For the last 6 years I have focused most of my energies as an advertising creative director and strategist to transform brands like Grace, Digicel, PNP, JPS, and NCB. As a consultant, I have been instrumental to the strategic launch and growth of several businesses and startups including Muse 360, ICPI, Nanook Enterprises, Rose Cottage Farms and The LAB Ltd.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOTHER- MRS FERNANDEZ
Today we are grateful to share this chapter
Of new moments of praise feeding on the story of a new blessing
Our hopes are filled with new prayers
And many more songs to feed from
We are happy to be part of your global dance
and to drink from the joy of many new revelations
Today we are grateful to share this chapter
Of another new birthday and all its blessing
Lots of Love
Tony
As the pages of this new dawn unfold, my heart is filled with gratitude for all your birthday wishes, it means the world to me.
The story of Life continues and the spirit of gratitude creates more room for happiness.
I have pinched myself over and over again, I feel too young to be 52 .
I woke this morning feeling so excited to embrace the blessings of this moment.
And deep within me – The Spirit of gratitude creates room for more happiness
Deep within me – is a child, excited by the beauty of places, people, situations and adventures.
Deep within me are the imperfections that sometimes stain the footprints of humanity, for I am only human.
As the pages of this new dawn unfold , I want to remind each and everyone that I love you (no matter who you are ). The irony sometimes is that we do not need to like someone to love them. There is wisdom in accepting and embracing all shades of humanity so let us embrace all voices.
At 52, there are three great lessons I have learnt in recent years and I believe these three lessons have lived within me for a very long time.
The first lesson is that , A lot of the time we have nothing much to prove in life than do the right thing,be good to people , be the change we want to see in society, but most importantly – AIM TO BE THR VERY BEST VERSIONS OF OURSLEVES.
In todays world, you will be amazed to know that a lot of people really struggle to be themselves.
Take time to know yourself, love yourself and embrace the energy that makes you happy.
There is only one you and there is so much you can give to life once you discover who you are and your purpose . So what are you waiting for? The world is waiting to hear your song.
Do not be a follower, Be the Leader who is able to look within and embrace the beauty that the world needs, In simple terms – BE YOURSELF – YOUR SONG IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS.
The 2ndlesson is that the spirit of happiness starts from within you.
It starts from your thoughts and then your feelings and then your actions.
What makes you happy? What feeds your special spirit with a sense of fulfilment ? What makes you so excited to wake up in the morning ?
Now is the time to discover more about your inner self and the things that make you happy. Now is the time to start to feed your mind with the blessings of happy thought. The truth is that the more we begin to live though the journey of happy thoughts, the more we become motivated to embrace the beauty of life challenges and uncertainties.
The third lesson is a very important one – THE SPIRIT OF GRATITUDE IN LIFE CREATES ROOM FOR MORE BLESSINGS.
Be grateful for life , Be grateful for little things and cultivate a mindset within you with gratitude. The truth is that the spirit of gratitude also enables us to be more happier people.
Our gratitude in life must also be extended to our prayers. I personally believe that one of the most important prayers is a prayer of gratitude.
Start your prayer with a “thank you ” and end your day with a “thank you “
Take time to appreciate the simple things of life and be thankful – FOR GRATITUDE CREATES ROOM FOR MORE BLESSINGS .
WE ONLY LIVE ONCE -LETS CONTINUE TO WORK HARD, PLAY HARD AND CELEBRATE LIFE
