THE REASON WHY SEX SELLS

A lot of Nigerian movie producers include sex scenes in their movies, music videos and bloggers are also making a fortune by selling nudity. In short society is saturated with sex. Sex is being sold at every corner and when we protest, they tell us sex sells.

The only people engaged in the business of selling sex are prostitutes and their brothel owners. I therefore suggest that movie and music producers, bloggers rethink what they are doing except the nude actresses, the vixens and the bloggers(who tell their own story through their blogs) are ready to be called prostitutes (not that they haven't been called anyway).

The reason their works are selling through the marketing of sex is because they capture depravity and make it interesting. They appeal to the psychology of the consumers by featuring and flashing images that appeal to the lust of the viewers and readers.

If they can successfully sell sex by packaging it the way they do, then they equally sell positive values by packaging it as interesting. How do you transform a society already bereft of values by selling them more sex? Now you see the true reflection of society.
How do you get people to be honest when they are buying sex as a commodity? When will bribery and corruption cease to exist in our midst? How do you fight rape, wife battery, Incest and the likes by making prostitutes our role models?

We keep importing western values forgetting that the west was built by the sweat and toil of Christians and the church, men who laboured tirelessly to get their nations to where they are today. Now they've gone secular but are still enjoying the labour of their founding fathers. And why does secularism have to mean sex? And loss of positive values in its entirety?

Take a cross section of society today and sample the values of the average youth; greed, hatred and lust. That's what you get. And why should our entertainment promote these things? Look at the things that give us pleasure. We should be ashamed. Why are we not more involved in nation building in our own little corners?
I  am scared for us all.

THE SILENCE OF OMISSION

Silence means consent, a certain school of thought holds. That means if you fail to speak up against anything wrong, you can be charged with supporting the wrong you failed to speak up about.

The End SARS Protests

I have been quiet since the end sars movement started. Not because I didn’t want to speak but because I was hoping for it to culminate into something tangible and bring about the positive change that a lot of Nigerians desired. I remember having a conversation about it with someone and I prayed that it would not spiral out of control. I wanted a positive change but I wasn’t prepared for the cost of laying down lives because I sensed that it was going to get to that should the protesters expand their agitation to good governance. The powers that be would not surrender without a fight and they have the resources of the government on their side. They would claim that the protesters wanted to topple a “democratically elected” president. And that would make it illegal. And what is democratic about a president who has refused to listen to the cries of the people?In their short memory however, they have forgotten that this same president came into power for the first time in 1985 after a coup...
