There is an Epidemic of Stupidity in Nigeria

In the House of Stupidity

Stupidity is: instead of addressing the national emergency of medical doctors going on strike nationwide, the President, Vice President, President-Elect,  Governors, opposing presidential candidates Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi among the legions of other Nigerians were celebrating and salivating over the ego trip of a young female celebrity chef breaking the Guinness Records for cooking for 100 hours and then gloating over her sexuality; when Americans were celebrating the unprecedented historic academic achievement of LMU valedictorian, Obioma Somtochi Ugorji, the young Nigerian student  who emerged as the 2023 best-graduating student of Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, California, USA. It is good Peter Obi has congratulated him.

Every achievement deserves celebration, but it is stupid to be dancing when your house is on fire. 
Will a mother abandon her child having seizure in ER to go and cook for a birthday party?

There is an epidemic of stupidity in Nigeria from the street to the Office of the President.
After "In the House of Dogs", the title of one of my new books should be "In the House of Stupidity".

There is widespread of cases I call Illogical, Irrational and Unreasonable Mentality (IIUM) among the majority of Nigerians, because as you can see from the abnormalities of the last general elections and banalities of the people, they have issues with being logical, rational and reasonable in their behaviours. 
Common sense is not common in Nigeria.

Majority of the artistes who were jumping on the bandwagon of the "Obidients" political movement of Peter Obi before the presidential election on February 23, were in Abuja on Thursday May 25 celebrating and performing at the Renewed Hope live concert for the President-Elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu after collecting millions of naira.

Split Personality Disorder and Celebrity Depression in Nollywood

Split Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder is defined as a disorder in which two or more distinct and separate personalities (known as alters) exist within an individual. Some people with DID refer to their personalities as parts, alters, others, or head mates. It depends on the individual's preferences with regard to identity.

###

Symptoms include abnormal and irrational behaviours; on and off mood swings and disorderliness in the house.

Disorderliness is actually a sign of mental illness.

Most of those affected in #Nollywood  are the female actors whose past experiences in dysfunctional families, dysfunctional abusive relationships or marriages and emotional immaturity and professional insecurity have affected their personalities which they often cover up with makeup and cheesy celebrity stupidity.

Many of their roles in movies and TV series are actually enactment of their own lives in past or present circumstances of abusive relationships, infidelities, rape and other traumatic experiences.

Nollywood has become a good camouflage and masquerade for many of them who should see psychotherapists.   But where are the psychotherapists in Nigeria?

A Nigerian TV presenter could not come on air, because she was nursing a black eye from physical assault by her husband over her refusal to have sex, because she was tired.  She has been in abusive marriage for years. But she has to  contunue to pretend that she is a happily married relationship expert. And she is not the only one.

Some of the female actors in Nollywood need a #MeToo Wake Up Call. 

Many of the churches cannot address their cases, because the pastors, ministers and counsellors are not trained in psychology 

The widespread cases of broken relationships and marriages in Nollywood are also similar to the numerous cases in other professions in Corporate Nigeria.

Popular Nigerian Celebrity Blogger and Publisher Escapes From Armed Robbers in Lagos

Linda Ikeji, the popular Nigerian celebrity blogger and publisher escaped from being robbed Friday afternoon at the Finicky restaurant and bar at the Kilo Bus stop in Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria.

She was having her meal with a close friend from Bonny Island when four armed robbers on motorbikes attacked customers at the fancy restaurant and bar and robbed them of their valuable possessions. She and her friend had to hide upstairs whilst the armed robbers robbed customers on the ground floor. The robbers later came upstairs and left when they did not see any customer or staff there. She and her friend thanked God for their narrow escape and vowed never to patronize the Finicky at the Kilo Bus stop again.

"It's an embarrassment to hide in the toilet," said one of the lucky customers who said he was among the customers who had to hide in the toilets upstairs.
