I totally understand the need to diversify and have other sources of income, what I can't seem to figure out is the total lack of finesse employed by our supposed Nollywood stars(and I say that with a raised eyebrow). At some very far off point in my life, I thought there were actually some of them, that gave the word star some credibility. These days I wonder if I made that up, or the recession hit most of them so hard it skewed the star in them. Somehow, I wished it was the later, but know it's the former.
I'm so strung, I can't even figure who to start with. . .
Stephanie Okereke gives me a headache. I know she sees herself as the epitome of class and all, and some people fall for it(that part still baffles me). Unfortunately, I can smell that fake accent from a mile away! And fake accents are made even worse, when there's a factor to deal with. However, she's the least of my worries.
Omotola Ekeinde, that's one woman I used to love and respect. Sadly, I no longer know what to make of this her 'Oversized-Beyonce' Campaign. Am I the only who sees that she can't sing, and she's closer to fat than sexy? Her clothes don't make it easier on our sights. Someone needs to break the news to that lady, it's either the gym, or her hubby had better revert to buying her clothes that don't make her look like she can't breathe.
There are a lot more I'm sure, however, luckily I'm not an 'Africa Magic' fan like my mum. She never believes when I tell her that channel is bound to reduce one's I.Q by the second. She goes 'ignore the mistakes, and learn the lessons'. I honestly try, but that's the problem. In the midst of the trying to ignore the mistakes, I lose track of the lessons. Now, back to the true reason for this post.
He used to be hot! A good enough example of tall, dark and handsome. He did a stint in the chubby zone, right around the time he got married, then must have figured it was not the way to go. He could act, at least relatively well, judging by nollywood standards. All in all, We loved him. Erm. . . I take it you noticed the loved, no errors.
Yes, we're probably thinking the same thing. "And d winner is (an action movie soundtrack playing in the background), Desmond Elliot!!! " Did anyone hear that Alaba soundin, gospel song he released a couple of months back? And with a video too! To say that I was flabbergasted at first viewing, would be an understatement. How can he? How dare he? Why? How much money could he have made off that 'show of shameful desperation'?
It still manages to render me Speechless, hence, I will have to take the Jim Iyke issue up some other day.
So, let's do this twitter style, #okbye.
