Etcetera’s
today’s note is focusing on Omoni Oboli and her blue dress to Aso Rock during her movie premiere. Etcetera titled this new article the
Celebitchy, . I thought she already explained
she didn't know it was that revealing'. Read here:
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?Continue..
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 complaints 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 pubic
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
