If celebrities were valentine presents…

By Laju Arenyeka

Tiwa Savage would be chocolates, black on the outside, yummy on the inside. D’banj would be ice cream; his shades would prevent him from melting in the sun. M.I would be a teddy bear…just a bit taller. Dr. Sid would be designer mouth wash, it’s quite hard to give up being a dentist. Two face would be a coin; it’s not hard to imagine why.  For P-square, it would be hard to tell, they’d be wrapped in a square box.

This is NOT the news

A wild imagination can take you anywhere, including into a great deal of trouble. But who cares, it’s much more fun to imagine the scenarios below and not worry about the consequences. Abeg o! This is not the news.

Prince Harry marries a Nigerian girl

The most eligible bachelor in the world, and younger brother of Prince William last week married a Nigerian born farmer, Amina Ibrahim. Harry met Amina on a tour of Nigeria last year, as an ambassador of the Food and Agriculture Organization to improve farming practices in Nigeria.

The Queen of England described it as a ‘match made in heaven’ when she broke Kolanuts with her new in laws over a bottle of palm wine. Apart from the customary flogging of the groom at the traditional marriage, the queen was said to have enjoyed the ceremony and is very much pleased with the union. Her words: “I am most excited about having great grand children of African descent; the world we live in is now a global village and we cannot but move with the tide.”
