Latest political prostitutes in town
Some say Afro Candy is a prostitute. Some say she's not or at least,
not yet. A few others say she's a porn star, which is not in the same
league as prostitution. Porn stars are taxed, prostitutes are not. So
Afrolicious baybay, you have to up your game to get into the league of
prostitutes, if it is what you really desire. My suggestion would be;
instruct your agent or booker to get you appearances in any of the
political campaign videos, so you can put to use that floppy behind
your mama gave you. And if you are lucky enough, you can get cameos
and wiggle that thing around the aspirants themselves. You have to get
your bum (sorry your hands) bloodied to earn the highly coveted
"Political prostitute" tag. Now my Candilicious Afrolistic baybay,
these are a few names of the latest political prostitutes in the
country: Olamide, Banky W, Don Jazzy, Flavour, Duncan Mighty, D banj,
Mercy Johnson, Ibinabo, Ini Edo, Mama Gee, Naeto C, Joseph Yobo, Daddy
Showkey, Kanu Nwankwo, and Sammie Okposo.
I have been asked several times if our celebs should get involved with
politics. But today, let me push the same question in different words
to everyone reading this article. Do politicians making affiliations
with celebs prompt you to vote for them? For me, it's a definite No.
Nigerians are not influenced by celebs to indulge in certain acts
because their favourite celeb says so. For instance, I like Kate
Henshaw but expecting me to vote for a candidate she supports in the
forthcoming elections is like asking me to start buying a particular
milk brand because Don Jazzy endorsed it. Puh-leez, things like that
don't cut it here in Naija. Naija is a different kettle of fish
compared to what is obtainable in places like the US.
The politicians using celebs for their campaigns should ask themselves
what on earth the average person has got in common with Dbanj. He has
millions and he may never have to lift a finger again in his life if
he so desires. And you think the boys in Okokomaiko who are not
smiling will listen to his unrealistic rants on TV and radio? Using a
celeb for election campaigns is as stupid as the political aspirants
themselves dancing in their campaign musical videos. Imagine Jimmy
Agbaje and Ambode dancing in their campaign videos? Ok, I am sorry, no
imagination is needed. I feel sorry for the politicians that Nigerians
are not fooled by all the media images of celebs pushed at them every
day on TV. It has become so much that we can't tell the difference
anymore between political campaign videos and the Nigerian musical
videos.
The only cocktail of politics and celebrity that the masses are bound
to endorse is that of creating useful awareness that will benefit the
larger society. People like Bono have political views which bring
attention to real, humanitarian issues that transcend the established
political doctrines and have nothing to do with producing those
plastic karaoke like political jingles our entertainers are paid to
produce. Those entertainers who see nothing wrong in frolicking with
politicians will say I am speaking from a misguided perspective. Go
ahead, defend your support for that politician. Tell me you are
campaigning for change. You can't fool anyone but yourselves.
Hey, my Afro Candilicious baybay, you go ahead with your trade okay?
Don't let the criticisms of your fellow entertainers bother you
anymore. Tell them your porn is definitely a kinder and gentler
version when placed side by side with their political prostitution.
Now, good day ladies and gentlemen. Please don't forget to tip the
waitress on your way out.
