It's very difficult for me to recollect the first post I saw or where I read about her. All I know is that her name, stage name rather, got stuck into my head after coming across 3 blog-posts at different times all referring to the same subject, NUDITY.
Like one of my followers tweeted, "Sex sells". This is not about sex this time, it is about nudity that might not lead to sex. Figure this out.
Everyone is attempting to create a niche for himself/herself in Nigeria's vibrant entertainment industry and the truth is not all brands will sell. Her brand is selling, maybe not, but she now has the attention she needs to sell her brand. Without a cheering or jeering audience, her name will remain in oblivion. Whichever side you belong to, you should know her by now.
Beating the likes of Cossy and Old Mama Youngy "Afro Candy" in a section of the entertainment industry where they reigned supreme is no small task at all.
How exactly did she become popular? Basic choice of words so I am sure the last sentence is in order. Where did you read about her story? That story about being born again after living as a sex slave. What about those nude pictures you opened secretly and later pretended like u dislike whenever you tweet or comment on such post.
What moral lessons are you communicating to this young generation? What life-saving bits which will aid in actualizing their dreams are you passing to them? Is it all about fame, popularity and money? Do you have a policy at all?
The social media is a tool which has become very hard to ignore in this generation. Evidences abound to support this. This implies that the contents of your post as a blogger or columnist will reach different sets of audience who will interpret same based on their beliefs and orientation. Hence, the content of your post matters.
We need to check ourselves and speak sense into our brains. We must stop promoting contents that adds no moral value to the audience. We must quit praising people who cannot boldly wish that their daughters step into their shoes. Radio and TV interviews have since followed. To what end?
She will make money, but definitely not from sponsorship deals from known brands. Those coded night clubs in Ikeja will embrace her, but in the end, she will fade away. One thing that will remain however is her legacy and the number of lives she must have influenced.
Lest I forget, she already has a disciple.... I might tell you her handle.
Cheers.
