have a say on every matter and this time, it's about the
controversial Maheeda, who has been topic of discussion
on social media because she was always posting erotic
photos of herself online.
He has voiced out his thoughts on the self acclaimed gospel
singer's weird behavior.
He wrote this article titled: "Maheeda's maladjustment".
Read article below:
In the past few months, some prominent and other
bandwagon bloggers have been inundating the social
media space with inappropriate pictures of a confused
personality called Maheeda. From scanty information
available about the lady, she used to be a prostitute who
got 'converted' into Christianity and later released a
Gospel album or some singles. Somehow, she decided to
straddle the pop culture horse and brought out some nifty
singles and videos which found backwater acceptance on
Youtube.
Maheeda is also reported to be married to a white dude
and she is presumed to be presently living in a European
country with the man and her daughter (or divorced or
seperated from him as some reports say) I took little pains
to do this background research on her so as to be well-
informed about the next few points I would make about
her behaviour.
Somehow, Maheeda started posting suggestive pictures of
her body on her instagram page which caught the interest
of Nigerian bloggers. Since blogging is generally an
acceptable form of lazy journalism and tittle-tattling in
Nigeria, Maheeda's pictures got the desired attention she
wanted. Either by a covert or overt payment to leading
bloggers to keep her in the news (as it is wont in Nigerian
cyberspace) or a calculated ploy to garner more hits to
their sites, the bloggers went all the way out with more
indulging pictures of the young lady. And she was ever
willing to give more and cheerfully too with no intention
by me to denigrate her past profession by this phrase.
From suggestive pictures of her near unclad body parts,
the young lady went on a visual spree of debased pictures
of herself and with the lecherous or amused oogling of
social media commentators, she finally threw whatever
was left of her indiscreet womanhood and posted wanton
naked pictures of herself on instagram. Blogosphere went
crazy in Nigeria with repressed hypocrites heaping
accolades or abuses at her or ravished reprobates asking
her to carry on!
Instagram finally had enough a few days ago and deleted
her account for good for crossing boundaries of
(in)decency, perhaps.
It is instructive to psycho-analyse negative trenders such
as Maheeda who have decided to gain cheap or
compulsory notoriety by posting pictures of their
nakedness on social networks. Granted, there were others
before her based in Nigeria or somewhere in America ,
some older Nanny Goats who threw decorum to the wind
as well and posted pictures of drooping breasts and
disgusting backsides in a bid to gain unfathomable
attention. Did Maheeda learn from them? Or did she
decide to improve on their art ( or rather, their tart!)?.
Whatever the reasons are, we all should be worried about
this growing trend where shamelessness and wanton
exposure of Nigerian women is fast becoming the order of
the day. The children see all these things and I shudder to
think of what is going to happen in our social space in a
few years. A replication or cloning of millions of
Maheedas and her likes is probably inevitable. Oh yes,
there are some who would react angrily to the fears I have
expressed here and post comments under 'Anonymous'
name tags on some blogs where this article would find
amplification and vilify me and not my points. For such
missing links, you are entitled to your putrid opinions in
the closets of your anonimity where cowards and bullies
find voice. But the fact remains that you who support and
urge the Maheedas of this clime to carry on with the de-
mystification of all that is dear and sacrosanct
womanhood, are no better than she is. You are intertwined
in the pugnancy of her putrid purpose. You both are
destroyers of the last remnants of the African woman's
mystique and majesty. You support and encourage her to
destroy your children's moral future. That is just the plain
truth.
I may not know much about psychology or psychosis
but I am willing to bet that Mrs Maheeda is in the
early stages of bi-polarism. It is possible that she is
using the pictures to Jekyll and Hyde her mental health
issues. Mercifully, she lives in a Western society where it
is only a matter of time where her total sanity would be
called to question.
But if Maheeda is not ill, then what is her plan? Is she
possessed by a legion of seventy times seven demons after
her earlier conversion to Christianity? Or is she just being
plain silly? If she is being silly, then the blogs and
websites which amplified her silly whims have a moral
question to answer.
But Maheeda is not the only by-product of a jaundiced
country. We have her likes in the National affairs of this
country. Only, those types don't have to post their pictures
for us to see. They are already naked dancers in the
ruinous chambers of national leadership. They and the
mad ones before them inflicted the pain on the social fibre
of Nigeria which Maheeda was unfortunate to grow up in.
Their naked dances of greed and corruption turned
Maheeda and millions like her into Prostitutes to eke a
daily living. Maheeda could well be paying back the
society with her nakedness, spoiling the children of the
new Nigeria as a vengeance eats her. She just might be
saying, ' as una spoil my life, me sef go spoil una pikin
own'. And stupidly the children of her vengeful mission
oogle and applaud.
It is not also far-fetched too that Maheeda might be using
the naked pictures of herself as a new form of visual
prostitution. Selling her body , now revamped and
refurbished in a new clime, to her former clients as if to
call them out. She might be saying, 'You can't have this
now. I have gone to another level'.
Indeed, she has reached a new level. An all-time low of
self-destruction in a gradual process. But knowing the
society in which I live and where she comes from, her
destruction may be pyrhic: the sick social society would
soon invite her to red carpet functions and events. Soon,
she just might be signing autographs and strutting societal
streets of false adulation.
Then she would have have the last laugh. Or perhaps
maybe society and fate have one last wince to elicit from
her.
Time has a way of telling, though.
