how i do love thee

Ok, ok, I never caught the Big Brother Nigeria (BBN) thing cuz quite frankly it was wack. West African Idols didn't take my fancy either as it equally was wack, topped up by the beefy, sweaty, no camera presence personality of Mike Magic (or whatever). Don't even get me started on Deal or No Deal Nigeria as watching John Fasanu actually makes my ear bleed and induces suicidal tendencies. But yesterday, yesterday, I broke down and finally watched Big Brother Africa (BBA) more because I had actually applied for the sucker and didn't get picked so was wondering who in the world would make better tv (that babe is too boring jo!). Yes, you can actually read that again, I applied, ehn ehn so what? lol. There's a part of me that gets irresistably drawn to these crazy stunts, I mean how many people in the world can say they were a BB housemate?

Anyway, I'm loving the thing sha. The people (see Bella's post) are just plain ridiculous. There's something fascinating about watching all kinds of personalities interact, especially from different countries too! I think my fav's are Kwaku from Ghana and Max (from wherever!) since they're the sexiest, lol. It was funny to me how from the get, the Tatiana girl from Angola just fashied her so-called boyfriend. Kai! And i'm sure she's trying to make the short man her bitch, mark my words! One thing that shocked me though since i never watched any of the BBs was the shower scene!!!!! as in, seriously oh, they were showing tatas everywhere, i couldn't believe that they do this. I don't think the one in America does that oh! I was shocked, just absolutely shocked ke?!? as in cameras in the shower showing everything oh, no be like say dem get blind screens oh? hmmm...when everyone was shouting shower hour, shower hour, that's how i was thinking that wetin dey there sef? until i saw with my korokoro eyes....

Anyhoo....keep shining sha...in other news...

Do You Think We Have Slaves?
Something's been bothering me lately and I wondered what other's take on it would be. Let me give you a scenario:

1. Someone strolls into the office in the morning carrying his newspaper under his arm, his minion walks behind him, carrying the man's laptop bag.

2. One small boy comes to meet his oga in the office but sits around for hours outside before the oga comes in and then when he calls the small boy from across the compound, he sends him to go wash his cup, or walk to the next building to fetch a paper or something.

Now my thing is, for number 1, why can't you carry your own damn laptop bag from your car to your desk? all of 5min walk?

are these people slaves? seriously...

You call them slaves, I call them underpaid personal assistants.

On a serious note, some people take the piss and take it too far.

In Ontario, a female politician ( can't remember her name) always gave her female LV bag to her PA to carry...he resigned and the next one was later see with a less feminine bag. Go figure.

Afrobabe said...

I have always wondered at that myself,In naija you have to call ur boss by certain titles while in the western world you all go on first name basis...though come to think of it,while in nigeria my company employed a first name policy,dont think the nigerians there liked it sha!

the presenter of the non-nigerian version of "deal or no deal" is very good. I think Fashanu might just be getting used to the nigerian programme.

@ afrobabe- yeah, the undoing of Nigeria is the issue of "I'm older than my boss. If it weren't for t'ings, would I be working under this one?"

@anonymous - in my office i think it's more of the too far thing. they treat these people like they're subhuman. it's sad too watch. i hope the female politician wasn't the blond babe that ran for leadership of the conservative party....i liked her! lol

@chude - abeg that show was boring jo. but it's okay cuz i'm convinced nigerians like to see themselves on-screen as boring and lifeless, that way they can continue pretending while going about their underground moves. don't rock the boat sort of thing.

@afrobabe - in my company we use initials. i blogged a while back about how the receptionist at my office said i should call her Miss (name) so i told her only if she called me Miss Lola.........lol, i kinda like that name....but seriously, i try to change attitudes wherever I go, they'll just have to deal with it.

@laspipi - sorry, but i just have to call you that name, i like it!!!!! lol. you're right the kenyan dude is great and such a natural at what he does. my thing is if fashanu needs to get used to it that much then he should just not be doing the show. we have many seasoned presenters in the country that are actually doing this as a profession you know, they deserve a chance too. I would have preferred someone IK (Wildchild) he's really good at what he does.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
