This is what fashion designer and critic
Emmy Collins wrote about Mercy
Johnson's look above..
Read below
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, s*xy
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.
