OlBoy, there you are! Its been a long time I saw you in this joint. Whats been happening
Ah, My Friend! Like the Holy Book says in the Book of Lot, I have been moving up and down the earth but not with any intention to cause harm or mischief but to see beyond the veils
Well , sit down and have a drink. You look harassed like Rotimi Amaechi before a hostile screening committee
I can safely tell you that I am not like him. Hes a power monger, a dreg of a political dysfunction who must be in power to live; at least thats the way I see him. In a way, his political visibility reminds me much of how our local music and Nollywood acts obnoxiously fall over themselves to be seen as relevant. We have discussed this before, havent we The below par hype, the sometimes stomach- churning instagram pictures of aging pancaked faces or the unintelligible heiroglyphics these celebrities write with; showcasing their stunted grasp of spellings and grammar while hiding under the excuses of such spellings being acceptable as social media language
You have started again with these your Professorial postulations. But I feel you though on the social media hype of the artists, especially the latest one I just read about a few minutes ago about Cynthia Morgans stunt with a baby and Caroline Danjumas upbraid about its vulgarity
Dude, leave the grammar to me please. Dont spoil my market. As for that which you just mentioned, nothing really amazes me about how shallow we all have become in allowing ourselves to be sucked into the swirling waters of sordidness in which these two bit acts sometimes swim. Its just like that Skibii fellow, who I am still convinced faked his own death just to trend and ended up popping unpaid champagnes in Harrysongs hit song. Thats how this Cynthia Morgan stunt with the baby is to me; very distasteful and lacking in decorum. Caroline did have a point though when she reacted that a vibrant child welfare agency in Nigeria should sanction Cynthia over that posture. And Caroline reacted as a mother should; any sane mother who has given birth to kids and who love kids would react that way. It is a milk of natural pain which flows in that reaction; not the milk of a suspicious doped-up riposte which Cynthia gave. You see what I mean when I say these artistes sometimes suck us into their nefarious whims Because Ccaroline reacted, an uncouth Cynthia immediately found what she was looking for; an avenue to trend and a leeway to lamely explain the obtuse concept behind her smoking a photoshopped cigar whilst holding a cigar. Of all the stupid excuses I have heard in this industry over stunts, this one comes second; after Skiibiis
But couldnt one argue that its Art I mean, she might have a point about drawing attention to the plight of the child with that picture
Rubbish! She actually has drawn more attention to puerility of her intellect and art than to any child. Pictures speak a thousand words or more and that picture was horrible, distasteful , improper, rascally, insensitive and the height of a womans apathy for the future of a child. That child will grow up in future seeing that cigar as a symbol of his or her existence. It is psychological. That picture alone could make that kid a chain smoker in future; could make many lost youths who call themselves fans of Cynthia delve deeper into the negatives of smoking habits. Cynthia says she does not smoke nor drink alcohol If she doesnt smoke, why even hold a cigar to give that impression that you do And with a child too! Thats not arty; thats a bit over the bend. That young lady should not be ascribed as anyones role model by this act. Oh, I am angry just thinking of that picture and that kid
OlBoy, take it easy na! You dey vokeo. Haba! Let me pour you some juice to cool you down
I hope its not German Juice!
Hahahaha! You are funny. That was a joke, right
Im as straight faced as the soon-to-be employed guards at Linda Ikejis new mansion at Banana Island
Jeez! Did you see the pictures Man, that babe has gone far! She makes me proud. Now, thats a woman!
Shes got the right juice to inspire the other ladies. Now, dont start getting ideas about what I infer by the word juice, when it comes to Linda. By using the word juice here in her case, I mean the American street slang from the nineties which means courage or guts. So, in this case, I would say Linda has got the juice. And its not German by any standard, just pure Naija Igbo juice.
Why do I think you are being funny here Anyway, Linda has proved that there are no limits to her skies.
Yeah, shes resourceful too. I have been chuckling at those who suddenly seem to remember that shes single whenever she displays a new acquisition. Forgive the pun but if she needed a big Banana, she sure went to the island to get one! Way to go
Im lost here. What does that mean
Nothing. But I have my reservations though, whilst congratulating her. The Tax Authorities will not spare her next year. By allowing her sister announce the house on Banana Island, the tax people will literally go Bananas and her valued assets will make the government richer next year. Not to talk of the crazy Property Tax on Banana Island properties. I used to live there you know, so I know what the koko is; and I am not talking about that limp koko; if you feel me , Nigga
Hmm. One can never tell with you. Should I order your usual drink
Yes. A cold bottle of water
