MUDI: KINDLY TAKE HEART
You see, this is why it is not very good to be jumping into conclusions. You see, Mudi the super brilliant fashion designer who has redefined fashion continent wide, is owing me N20,000. He has been owing me this money for a bit now and has been dodging. Anytime I call him, he will say – I dey come, I dey Abidjan, when I come back. When I call three days later, he would say I don come back but I don rush go Abraka. So, I started thinking of getting this online debt collecting people to help me start sending him those their vile text messages – those ones they used to send to their debtors and be saying- you are a bastard and we will strip your mother naked if you don’t pay us. Then he totally disappeared throughout the December period. He was missing in action during the Alibaba show, didn’t attend any of my plays, was not there during all the afang summits I held and all that. This N20,000 must really be a problem for him, I thought o. So I decided to give him debt relief and called him during the week. He didn’t pick but sent me a terse message, “my mama die.” Ohhhhhh, Mudi mama die o. I have met her before o when we went to unveil the roundabout he built in Ughelli. She was such a sweet soul and gentle with Mudi bearing such a remarkable resemblance to her. She was 92 and would be missed. My brother, abeg use that my N20,000 add to the expenses because I know how costly it will be for you, especially giving a mother who lived such a gracious life touching the community in the way she did. Please, accept my condolences my brother.
FEMI FANI-KAYODE: TWO TIMES A LION
During the week, I saw pictures of my egbon, the erudite Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and his family. The last Xmas and new year season must have been quite wonderful as the pictures showed him and his very beautiful wife - Precious Chikwendu, actress, model, businesswoman and mother of his four sons, host friends and family to very sumptuous meals. Chief who seems to have been very distracted with the Israeli war taking very strong sides and seemingly ignoring the wahala in Nigeria looked very relaxed and handsome in the clips that I have seen. It seems like the love between these two have been rekindled following some years of the locust where all sorts including chairs and tables were publicly thrown at each other. Oga has been relatively quiet on the scene and apart from some long epistle in the Israeli-Palestinian war, he has not really been out there on the local scene making us his fans to quibble and wonder what was going on. All the wahala in Port Harcourt with Wike running wild amongst other such issues have mostly escaped his attention and me for one would have really enjoyed his take on these issues especially as they used to come with very sexy language and fine accent. I guess with the return of the ever so beautiful madam, Chief has found better use of his time as can be gleaned from the pictures and clips that I have seen. Anybody interested in seeing them, should reach out so that I can attempt to defeat Funke Akindele’s box office record with the clips - you should see Chief do the Buga, you will. Laugh and fall down.
