Happy people, Etcetera has given his take on the famous blue dress nollywood actress/producer wore to the presidential villa for her movie premiere and I have decided to share the article here. I heard the actress apologized and said she didn't know the dress was revealing. Hmmm she probably doesn't have a mirror but what's my own. Anyway, read the article below. Have a great weekend and remain happy dearies. Xoxo...
The article:
Remember Monica Lewinsky? If you do, then you should also
remember the “Blue Dress” she wore to the white house that got President
Clinton, the most powerful man in the world and the then president of the
United States of America almost impeached. And 16 years on, just when everyone
thought the seductive blue dress has been locked away in a highly secured vault
somewhere at the pentagon; it reared its dangerous head at Nigeria’s
presidential villa, worn by a nollywood actress for her movie premiere. Only this
time, it was seductively patterned as a strip wear.
Is the second donning of the dreaded blue dress a decoy to
seduce another president? This time around, the president of the most powerful
black nation in the world. Well, your guess is as good as mine. I can still
remember being glued to my laptop trying to make sense out of the picture of
our president shaking hands with “The lady in blue”, with a larger part of her
cleavage exposed for the world to see. It got me wondering how anyone dressed
in such a manner could have been allowed anywhere near the presidential villa
for any reason. How did she get past security?
The habit of indecently dressed nollywood actresses tiptoeing
around the presidency should not be permitted. The presidential villa is no
place for a movie premiere, neither is it a place for a dress rehearsal of any
sort. And as far as I can remember, the federal ministry of tourism never
issued any statement declaring the presidential villa a tourist site. So please
take your sliced gowns and facial foundations elsewhere. After all there’s been
no complaint about the architectural foundation upon which the presidential
villa stands. Let us stop distracting the President from his constitutional
duties unnecessarily. Leave him alone to concentrate on more pressing matters
of state. His constitutional duties do not revolve around entertainers. I can’t
see how premiering your movie at the presidency serves this nation?
It is a no-brainer that the president needs time and space to
concentrate and fulfil his elective duties, but I find it baffling that some
entertainers don’t seem to understand what distractions are? And if you
reasoned, your movie will help pull the country’s head above the parapet, why
not have it screened at a public cinema to the benefit of all? Please for the
love of this country; keep the Vanity Fair and celebitchy attitude away from
the presidency. We always take things to the extreme in this country. Very soon
the musicians will start taking their album listening parties and their musical
video premieres to the presidential villa. Can you imagine Angelina Jolie
premiering her movies at the White House? The American government will never
approve of such.
Isn’t it shameful that the President seems to have become the
prerequisite for making movies or holding events in this country? The
president’s goodwill and open arms shouldn’t be given misguided
interpretations. Stop painting the presidency as a place for extra curricula
activities. We need the president’s full concentration at this material time
when the country is at war on so many fronts.
There are indeed more pressing matters calling for the
president’s attention. The chibok girls issue is still a lingering
embarrassment to the nation, while Grand scale corruption is another stigma
that is yet to be dealt with. With ebola and terrorism crying to the president
for attention, isn’t it extremely insensitive of any individual taking his or
her selfish interest to a president that already seems overwhelmed with too
many activities?
As a nation, we are at a delicate point. It is up to us if we
are to get out of this mess. What Mr. President needs most importantly is our
prayers not seduction or distraction.
