Saturday

Gosh i love saturdays! Even though i never seem to see it nowadays. I graduate this summer which means i am currently engaged in the notoriously awful bit of the process..i.e. studying incredibly hard. Incredibly hard meaning writing three lines and taking a thirty minute break to catch up to the latest happenings on Youtube and of course, nibbling kit-kats with fervour! I wonder, can several bars of kit-kat be referred to as kit-kats?
Its been an eventful time (for everyone it seems), these last couple of weeks not least of all for Heather Mills and Sir Paul. By now everyone knows the sordid affair that has been the heather-macca divorce/heather demands loads of dosh off macca/macca says no and goes to court/Heather fires her lawyers and gets a pittance/Heather gets slightly over 24million pounds/Heather tips a jug of water over macca's lawyer-Fiona Shackleton/Heather stands on the steps of the court and rants to the media/end of/!/ Phew!! I'm shocked i could get it out in one breath. Interesting thing is the perspective of the public to the whole affair. Don't get me wrong, i am not partial to money grabbing ex-spouses, least of all the ex Lady Mcartney but cmon, surely Sir Paul saw it comin and went for it anyway? Apparently not! My views being too long to cram into one post i have decided to post a link to Marina Hyde's take on the issue which echoes my sentiments to the letter....

There appears to be a sudden awakening to the issue of rights within the Nigerian context. Gistmongers Niyi Tabiti and the devine Stella Dimoko K appear to only just have realised that their work has/is being plagiarised and i am sorry to "report" that it has lead to drastic consequences. Whilst Niyi has carried on with his work, Stella the firebrand insists that her blog will close down; much to the dismay of many. Still, Niyi's acceptance of the status quo regarding plagiarism appears to counter this great loss to the literary world of gossip...hurrah anyone?

I had the grave misfortune of seeing the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2008 live courtesy AIT/Sky last night and hopefully, i will never see it again!It was atrocious. Most of it anyway. Whilst i didn't like the song Dbanj performed, i will give it to him that he is a show man. Otherwise, it was a disaster...end of! Bella Naija appeared to like it though, so if you want a full run down of the event....

On the subject of glamour, or a lack of as the case may be; Carla Bruni didn't do Sarah Brown any favours. The press, the paparazzi, the nation and even the queen are totally enamoured by the french "beauty" and for good reason too. There was the notorious picture first and then it went downhill from there. The telegraph have a thorough account of how this has functioned here.

British summer time officially begins tomorrow and i cannot wait. The promise this summer holds is more special than the previous ones. I am stocking up on plans already. Went to Borders yesterday to pick up some books which included the N1LDA which i plan to read this summer. Also, i will also be readingin imagine this by sade adeniran...details of the book could be found here
