It’s because we love Don Jazzy too much that we were so
disappointed by this apparently. Because, you know, it wasn’t really
such a bad album, but we have come to expect nothing but excellence from
the producer, even if talent is mediocre. This album made us depressed
for weeks – that’s how bad it was.
BBA
And
THIS was the one they called the Star Games edition? It was so boring
we don’t even remember who the winner of this year’s Big Brother Africa
is! The characters were so predictable when they were not annoying,the
twists and turns simply twister and (we are on a roll here)
stomach-turning. Conclusively, this was a forgettable season- and
totally not worth the hype.
Goldie
We
all thought Goldie was a strong, Nigerian woman whose heart was in the
right place, and who could take care of business herself. Well, that
facade fell apart faster than bitumen on a Nigerian road, once the
reality show cameras were on. It was like watching a train-wreck.
European Union
We
can’t believe how long it takes these people to work out a debt deal
everyone expects them to. Throw into all of that, they can’t seem to
make up their minds whether they want out or to stay together. If the EU
can’t come together to make decisions that will drive the progress of
its constituent member-countries, then what’s the point? Nigerians,
better be concerned, this will affect your Schenghen visa.
Rihanna
You
tweet so many unclad-ish pictures of yourself, that when finally the
paparazzi got the entire package, no one really cared anymore. Then you,
an international superstar and hugely talented musician, find yourself
fighting over a rough little boy who gets beaten up in clubs with a
woman who has no real career and shouldn’t even be talking to you if you
had a little more restraint? Yeah, that would count in our books as a
disappointment.
Dana Air
This
was everyone’s favorite airline – always on time, staff that were
always professional and enough aircraft to save the industry – until
that aircraft of its came crashing down from the skies. It was truly a
sad, sad day.
Mitt Romney
We
thought he was going to out-raise Obama, and then he did not. We
thought would out-spend Obama, and then he did not. We thought he would
out-organize Obama, well let’s have a laugh over that one. Then he
delivers so many bloopers he nights well be in a Mr. Beans movie. Added
to this, he gets an even worse campaign. The American Republican
presidential candidate turned out to be a giant with feet of clay.
Arise Magazine Fashion Week
Day
1 cancelled? Check. Designers confused and left in disarray? Check.
Models stranded and owed their payments? Check. Yeah, #AMFW2012 was the
lion that didn’t roar.
OK! Nigeria
Immediately
it began to speak of itself, the comparisons to thatcher a,bilious
project called NEXT began. And oh what a cliche. Only difference is – co
pared to this, NEXT was a class act. With a launch event that was a
rousing disappointment with magazines that didn’t arrive, and editor
search competition we are still waiting for, credibility shot down by no
less a person than Wizkid, and editions no one really cares about, we
can all agree that all is not OK with this white elephant.
Jimoh Ibrahim
He
takes Newswatch and destroys it, then thanks Virgin Nigeria and
destroys it, and for good measure, tells us he is bigger than Richard
Branson. Er well, news for you Mister Hotshot Owner of A Collection of
Dead and Dying Companies, Branson makes things great. You, however, only
find a way to disappoint everyone who once (incredulously) ever thought
you were a smart investor.
We hope for a better 2013 on all counts.
