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

Venting Tuesday : Convo With A Scammer

When will these scammers learn? Yes, scammers!!! Ever got a text message from a weird number telling you you have just won a large sum of money courtesy a popular brand? Or, perhaps, a strange phone-call from 'a long lost relative, friend, old school mate' and everything in between telling you how much he/she has missed you and would love to see you again after so many years ...blah-blah-blah Apparently, those examples I gave fall under the electronic type of duping (scam), other types of the electronic duping include email advanced fees, plishing . The face to face duping is another type of scam. Here, the fraudsters come to their victim in person, inviting them to participate in a too good to be true deal. They tell the victim he need not worry about money anymore because the deal they are offering will save him from being financially handicap for life. They even engage their victim in a discussion depending on the type of deal involved. The term 'scammer' is a

Random Musings: Clearly I Am Not Just A Fat Ass

Lately I find myself listening to different genres of music. From rock, pop, country, jazz and and and. So I have just being a music whore trying to find the one I'm most comfortable with.  Of all the genres of music I have been experimenting lately, Soul tops my list. Now Soul is believed to be music for only mature minds, whatever that means! I have even been told that you need to be of a certain age group to understand the message that lies in soul music. Honestly, I couldn't disagree more.

So What If I've Had 20 Exes?

This might be another very controversial article that I get to post on my blog weekly. This is because every now and then I get to meet very interesting people and I am constantly reminded that we view life differently. Before I continue, I'll advise only 25s and above to read this. I believe this age range can relate with this topic appropriately. However,  I'm open to contrary views.
