Calling A Spade What It Is
So, the other day,in the midst of a conversation with someone I will call "the bleacher" for the purposes of this blog. We were having a random talk as girls are wont to do and without warning it got to be about Maheeda(the gospel singer turned soft porn artist/nudist),i had stated my displeasure with her lifestyle esp since she has a teenage daughter and all, and my friend, the bleacher had said, " I like Maheeda, she's a role model,she does whatever she likes and moreover,don't judge her".
This is exactly what brought America to where it is today, first it started with don't call fat people fat,it's body shaming, so the fat people became obesed and died from heart attack at the age of 30 but hey!! We didn't body shame them now did we? Then blacks became African Americans but even with the new name racist continued unchecked and the new one is don't call someone a slut or thot it's their choice.(oh hell no)
And guess what, that trend is now in Nigeria, I don't know when it got here but I woke up one morning and there it was;girls will twerk and go naked on instagram for likes and followers but if you see anything wrong with it then you're a hater, sugar daddies paying the house rent, trips abroad on business class tickets,houses and cars they can't afford, if you say nne but this is wrong,then you're an enemy of progress or just jealous.
And we are gently buying into this idea, of calling a spade a soup spoon but hey just shut up, you don't want to judge now do you(remember what master J told us now).
We should know that if it bleats like a goat,eat grass,has little horns and live in shed then, it is a goat(it can't be a chicken). Did you hear the story? Of the girl who posed in front of her father's mansion, took a picture, uploaded on instagram, then the real owner of the house saw the picture and exposed her???(and people said beti why did she do that),because we live in country now when appearances and social media is all that matters.
So before they catch your friend out on instagram, tell them that's a spade! Calling it a spoon won't change what it is......
Tell a friend, to tell a friend,to tell their mutual friend Missundahstood said so....
