My Nigerian Idol 2013 Viewing Experience..

The other day I was wondering where to watch Nigerian Idol since HITV seemed to mess things up and packed up or went away or something.

First they were repeating all the programmes like seriously there was a particular Nigerian(Yoruba film) they showed like 200 times! no exaggeration here.. and then they went off like just like that.. seriously HITV ?? just like that.??

Anyways not to digress, I saw some episodes of Nigerian Idol season three online and I wanted to watch on the Telly(I mean I already spend too much time online) so I was so happy when I checked my sky programme guide and saw that Nigerian Idol was showing on "the African Channel 209" ( you people had better pay me my money for that advert lol)

Then I recorded it to watch later and and then I settled down with some Digestive and Vimto lol..( I love Vimto) 

I realised i had missed alot as they were already into the top 6 whew! was wondering how a recurring applicant like GODwin Onoja was no longer in the competition my research indicated he dint even advance to the top 10 really??

Well back to the episode,Darey was the guest judge and contestants were to sing two songs one from Luther Van dross and from Nigerian Hilife as well.

For starters, they actually sang most of the unpopular Luther songs I mean there are other ones na..

Well i have summarised key Points from my viewing experience below(Disclaimer these are just my views on 2 or 3 episodes)

• Yinka Davies can give Oshodi Agbero's a run for their money

Seriously Aunty Yinka can you stop shouting already!!! You are there to critic and judge these young un's,they want to hear advise on how to be better how to succeed not just "You did it!!!" or "Cmon on!!" tone it down ma'am..

The Legend That is, Chinua Achebe passes on..

One of the greatest Novelists,poet, Author,Professor,critic could go on and on Professor Chinua Achebe has gone to a new place.

 I remember Things fall apart always made reference to as one of his most popular works and reputed to be one of the most read literature in Africa and out of Africa

I once watched the movie adaptation and it was quite intriguing and reeked intelligence which you had to have yourself to fully understand the depth of the writer himself.

Achebe was an upright man who stood for what was right despite all circumstances an instance of even refusing a national Award to show his distaste and disapproval of some of the policies of the Nigerian Government.

Chinua Achebe was an Icon in all respects in Africa and Across the world with most of his books gaining recognition and world Acclaim and even teaching in some of the best schools in the world we can only say we have lost an Icon whom we should however celebrate  because he made a positive Impact in Nigeria,Africa and the world at large.

Other Notable work by Chinua Achebe include "Anthills of the Savannah","No Longer at Ease" and "Arrow of GOD" 

The Legendary Poet passed away march 21 he was 82 years old. May His soul rest in peace.

Nicole and Naeto C prepare for baby's Arrival with celebratory baby shower

Nigerian rapper Naeto C and wife recently had a bay shower in The US in readiness for their bundle of joy on the way..  Very soon now Nicole..

"There are some people that are naturally bitter and Linda Ikeji has given them an opportunity to express their bitterness" - Basketmouth(Bright Okpocha)

In a recent Interview, Popular top comedian Basketmouth bared his thoughts on lots of issues,work,life, controversies, marriage and hate comments that often emanate from blog comments towards celebrities these days,with emphasis on top Blogger Linda Ikeji's blog..

Excerpts below...

"Bright“Basketmouth” Okpocha is going to be the first Nigerian to host the prestigious comedy gig and TV show Comedy Central Presents… Live at Parker’s in South Africa this year. He has an impressive profile, both home and internationally, and has risen to become one of Nigeria’s biggest names in the comedy industry.

He started off his career in entertainment as a rapper while studying at the University of Benin, and stumbled upon comedy by accident when he and his rap group went to perform at a school. “I thought it was a normal thing for people to be funny because most of my friends around me then were funny,” he said. Although his first attempt wasn’t categorized as standup comedy; it was called “wording” in other words “yabbing”, it opened the doors to his comedy career. His big break came in 2001 when he met the renowed comedian, Ali Baba, who invited him down to Lagos.

Basketmouth is one of Nigeria’s most sought after event hosts. He has successfully staged several comedy shows including ‘Basketmouth Uncensored’, ‘Lord Of The Ribs’ and ‘African Kings of Comedy’.

Comedy Central

In a few weeks from now, you would be the first Nigerian comedian hosting Comedy Central Presents… in South Africa. How do you feel about it?

I’m excited, it’s like a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to do something that big. I never knew it was going to come this soon and I’m happy about it.

You’d be entertaining a large number of people, on a wider platform than the Nigerian audience. How are you going to pass across your jokes to people from other cultures?

When I perform outside Nigeria, my material is universal which is the why I was called to do this gig. They saw me perform somewhere and liked what I did which was purely universal. I don’t have any problem communicating with people of mixed race. The jokes are not only based on culture but also on the power of communication. As long as you’re funny and people understand you, you’re good to go.

Some comedians have been criticized for repeating their jokes too often. Do you repeat jokes?

It’s impossible for any comedian not to repeat a joke. Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, they all repeat jokes. I’ve seen them do it. Because Comedy Central is a new platform, I will try as much as possible to stay fresh. I’d just like to tell anybody reading that there is no comedian that does not repeat jokes. It’s impossible, never done.

Trending Stories about Basketmouth

There is a video currently going viral on a joke you cracked about President Goodluck Jonathan but some people seem not to like it. What was the motive behind that joke?

The motive behind the joke is a joke. I was paid to make people laugh. If yabbing Goodluck was the only way they would laugh, I’ll yab Goodluck. I’ve been paid, I’ve said the joke, keep crying!

After the DANA Airways crash, you were one of the celebrities that went on their re-launch flight. This implies to many Nigerians that you endorse the airline even though a lot of people are still grieving their loved ones and this has directed some negative comments towards you.

DANA Airline endorsed me three years ago as their brand face. This was close to two years before the plane crash. If after all they went through, they got back their license and asked me as the brand face of DANA to be part of the re-launch flight and I said I cannot do it, what is loyalty? If I’m going to support anything, it has to be from the beginning to the end. With all due respect to the people who lost their family and friends, a plane crash is inevitable. When Air France crashed, they didn’t sieze their license, Nigerians didn’t stop flying Air France. After DANA crashed, a plane also crashed in Russia. But people just show bitterness. Anybody can be in his or her home and say whatever he or she feels like. I’m not prophesying death but accidents are inevitable and we just have to thank God for the life we have. My deepest heartfelt condolences goes to the families of the departed.

Probably these people making such comments have lost their loved ones on that flight and are angry with you for taking sides with DANA.

It’s a lie, trust me. I understand Nigerians, I understand people in general; I read Psychology. There are some people that are naturally bitter and Linda Ikeji has given them an opportunity to express their bitterness. And trust me, there is nothing I would do that you would not see three or four bad comments on. If you hear that a plane wanted to crash and Basketmouth got out of his seat, went to the cockpit, pulled the pilot out and landed the plane like Denzel Washington, people would say why him do am, na only him dey the plane?. But I love the fact that they talk. It makes me know that I’m doing something right.

"Fat Girls Shouldn't Play Dress Up" By Wana Wana

I found this article about "Big Gurls" (wouldnt call them fat,fat sounds like ermmmm...) 

I am not in any way promoting or justifying obesity or encouraging people to be..In as much as we should keep striving to be healthy,and beautiful and gorgeous and sexy, we should be happy and enjoy the gift of life that we have.

Am starting to sound biased lol..

I'd let you read the article..Please kindly share you thoughts in the comment section.. Would appreciate them..

Excerpts below..

"The whole world makes it seem like playing dress up is a right only reserved for ‘normal’ sized people. I use normal in parenthesis because there has always been this notion that anything above a certain size is somewhat abnormal.

Think going to a store and when the sales girl is frantically walking around all smiles grinning from ear to ear. Then you ask the dreaded question which you know the answer to but you still ask anyway. She corks head to the side and her lips contort, her words slightly hesitant as though still constructing the sentence in her head whilst she attempts speaking. With a slight stutter to the response, she says ‘I’m so sorry, we don’t do that size but we have some nice bags and accessories you might want to look at’.

I once had a Nigerian designer tell me she couldn’t make me a dress because in her words ‘fitting and refitting would be a lot of stress’ which she didn’t have time for. I suppose she didn’t need my money anyway. After all what good is a fat person’s money?

Don’t get it wrong I’m not an advocate for people carrying around extra flesh which in the short to medium to term can cause severe health complications. As most people know I have publicly shared my weight and body image struggles. So the journey to better health, optimal fitness and attaining that realistic body size is an arduous path I still trod daily.

But I do think that whilst we are on that path depending on how long it takes to get there, everyone deserves the right to live, laugh, love, and of course play dress up if and when you want to.

So even though the world in general and the world of fashion aren’t particularly kind to chunky chicks like me, I have always found my own ways to manoeuvre around the system.

Trend Wisely

Fashion trends are equally as spastic as pop culture itself. I try to stay away from looking like the mannequin at the shop window. So I just take little bits and pieces from different trends and incorporate them into what I wear to add a contemporary feel.
