The wright write



Hey people, It’s been a while, I know.  But guess what, I’ve got good news for you…..wait for it…..    
…………wait a lil more…..
……….!!!!Tadaaaaa!!!!!!                                                                                                                                  I’m officially a broadcast journalism graduate of The Nigerian Institute of Journalism YAAAAYYYY!!!!!!.  I'm so excited about that, now I can stay committed to my blog and my readers.

         Now back to the business of the day. One of the most talked about issue all over various Nigerian social media platform that pricked me is the just concluded Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) beauty pageant organized by the Silverbird group. It was held in Bayelsa state on the 20th of July, 2013.                            This prestigious pageant is the first ever to produce an African Miss world from Nigeria, Agbani Darego. Certainly I expect nothing but topnotch production and professionalism in all they do but I’d like to vent a little about the turn out of the event.                                                                                                                     I got a tad bit suspicious about ‘their‘ winner of the most beautiful girl in Nigeria amongst the lot that contested. I'm allowed to, right? 



       First and foremost, it is not in doubt that the appointed MBGN 2013 winner, Anna Ebiere Banner is  stunningly beautiful  with an amazing smile but watching very closely you would agree with me that the 1st runner up, Miss Imo State,  Stephanie Okwu, has a very striking smile, represents the African woman  with her  dark skin tone, has the height of an international model and to top it up, she is articulate. At least I heard the both of them speak, so why didn’t she win instead?
2) Then also is the part where I need answers to my 5Ws' questions + How is it that a beauty pageant winner gets awarded the post of special adviser on tourism and culture to her state’s Governor at the same event? …a show of appreciation that she made her state proud?
3) It was held in Bayelsa state in collaboration with the Bayelsa state government…..and at the end of the pageant the crown was given to Miss Bayelsa  . Do we call it home advantage? You tell me.
Finally, what’s with the recent generation of beauty queens and English language issues? When the  MBGN2013 was asked who her role model is, she said ‘I look up to the president of Liberia…she is very fearful and fearless.’…………… at the same time??








Now to MY high points.
1) I liked the coordination of the hosts, Chioma Agwunobi and Chris Okenwa. They were obviously familiar with one another and they complemented each other.
2) Omotola Jalade Ekeinde’s speech was spot on. ‘give the Nigerian female child education not marriage’
3) The contestants’ swimwear,  colourful.
4) The children singing beautifully in the background, very creative.                                             
         A huge congratulations to all the winners though, make us proud.

The end

Do you agree with my opinion about the show, or do you have yours? Post your thoughts, views or opinions.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Peace, love and ice-cream

Mummy North!

Guys, I have come again o!. This time, its about a certain Mummy North. I will gist you all that happened since yesterday till now. Imagine how just a few photographs can stir up the world. Power of Social Media or perhaps InstaMedia (Instagram) So I was told Mummy North was on her own when Paper magazine walked up to her, requesting that she'd be the cover girl for their #breaktheinternet issue. As a sharp 34 year old nursing mother of Armenian blood, such an offer must not pass her by. Considering the amount she was going to get from it which by now we know would be no chicken fee.  My very reliable sources say it was actually Mama North that suggested the nude photos to The Paper Magazine.  Even its director told us that Mummy North said 'if we are gonna do it, let's really go there'.  According to him, it was Mummy North's idea to take off her clothes and show more butt. She was willing to take off her clothes.... Hmmmm, things we watch on TV. She must have...

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
