You all know Emmy Collins, the Nigerian designer who is known
for being so outspoken and constantly criticizing celebs and this time
he's taking a swipe at actress Mercy Johnson over her appearance in the
photo below.
This is what he said:
Okay,
so I got this from a reader this morning, “ehen small aproko …Emmy, I
saw pics of Mercy Johnson looking tacky on other blogs and they tagged
her sexy. I confuse o” My understanding of the mood of the author of
this comment was that of someone gob-smacked by either a blatant lie or
blatant ignorance.
Mercy Johnson looks so cheap here that if cheap
were to be animated today, it would most definitely not want to be
associated with Mercy Jonnson. Yes, she seemed so hideously dressed in
that hideous dress (haha, playing with words, na me biko). I don`t even
know where to start or end, the N3k tejusho dress, akpola shoes, the
“mgbekerish” pose, the walls behind her(background), foot mat, et al,
yet some blogger deemed it appropriate to tag this picture right here
“sexy”. Kai, sexy don suffer ni. Abasi mbo, Chineke no n’eluigwe, Oluwa!
What did we do to deserve this?
Okay, I know what we did. We
became too hypocritical. I can imagine cheap (I mean animated version)
blurting out words like – “abeg, abeg, I know say I cheap, but no be
like that nah,kai! No put me near that cheap looking woman, biko” – when
compared to Mercy Johnson in this ensembles of hers. On a very positive
note, we should all be thankful to the almighty God/Allah that she
didn`t venture putting on those sunnies in her hands, because if she
did, kai, egbe for gas, lol.
More often than not, I wonder if
these sort of classless half-baked celebrities that we are bedevilled
with aren`t God`s idea of punishment for all the iniquities we commit
against him daily. We have “afọ anu” celebrities that are ineffective in
all spheres of life, be it politics, fashion, etc. Tell me a Naija
celebrity that has influenced any fashion trend? Perhaps just about 2%
of them have pet projects, except when they surround themselves with
cameramen while visiting motherless babies homes. In another clime,
these are supposedly the innovative bunch, but it’s sad that the last
word a well meaning and well-informed individual would use to describe
any Nigerian actress or actor today is “innovative”. How did we get
here? It has become a nonsensical game of ‘please find out where
Genevieve or Omotola has visited, me too I wan go there nah and make
sure all the blogs will post the pictures’.”
Well, you guys know what I think about this image, what do you think?
Okay,
Mercy, here is the deal. If you gonna be showing your mansion in Ajah,
shouldn't you be spending some dosh on your style as well?
PS: I
concluded a long time ago that some bloggers must be on some cheap
crack if they are gonna be seeing white and calling it black. I will
only do my best to call them out when I can afford the time.
