My Love, My Race, My Escape!

Some people say nothing to those they love when time is still on their side. But when they are gone, they start to miss one another.   Perhaps we all assume we have all the time to breakup and then makeup. Or we assume there are special times to say what we really mean – still searching for the best time. There is nothing like the best time, just say it while you can because it could be too late by the next tick of the clock. We are really the same, male or female. We have the same needs– love, food and shelter. We all have fears, secrets; flaws, but we still hold on to hope and belief. We tend to cling to those that come to our rescue when it feels like the world has come to its end. If you ask me what my escapes are, I would say they are pretty much like yours. Drugs, alcohol, food; sex, books, movies, music, dance, perhaps work and good conversation, we pretty much pick from the same basket of choices. We run to utopia giving total submission to a force much greate

BBNaija: Sex sells, ask Miracle

Miracle was the sex symbol in the BBN house. Is that why he won? Well let’s analyze that a bit. If you observe closely, most luxury items have “sensual” appendages. The appendage could be image(s) of almost or completely naked lady. Sometimes a "Well-built" semi-naked guy. Car races, tobacco adverts, music videos, and fashion adverts are major “brands” with such symbolisms. In fact, I once saw a razor blade advert with a half-naked lady – that was the most ridiculous of them all.   So when Miracle, hooked up with Nina and became adventurous with her body, we knew he was playing the sex card. Then he did what most African ladies admire – he remained faithful to her. Being a fine young pilot, with special interest in Mr Flavour and Teckno’s songs and dance style, it was only a matter of time before he became the darling of most female viewers. The symbolism of sex is a strong marketing tool. There is nothing new about this discovery as it has been around since the days

BBNaija – Passing Judgement on Cee-C

Someone asked me if Cee-C’s behaviour in the Big Brother House was right. My response to the fellow was that from where I stand I see no “Right” or “Wrong”. What I know is that behaviours could be functional or dysfunctional depending on the context. For Cee-C, to the extent that some of her actions in the house brought her personal pains and even led to isolation by other housemates’ was a sign of dysfunctional behaviour. Let’s not forget that the natural order of society is that folks tend to live in groups. It is this natural order that stimulates our wants for friendship, relationships, family and social networks. Therefore a dysfunctional behaviour normally deviates from the natural order. Behaviour is neither right nor wrong. I doubt if anybody has the prerogative to judge human behaviour except of course you are conferred such rights by law. Outside the Big brother house, CeeC is arguably the most talked about housemate. Her share of mind in the media is outstanding
