COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT SCANDAL: NIGERIAN WRITER/PUBLICIST VOWS TO DRAG BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATE TO COURT
Makosi Musambasi (Big Brother UK housemate) lives in Nigeria and is dying to be a "star". So I came on board- we were introduced by a mutual acquaintance. First she wanted PR for her TV show that was to debut on DSTV, but then she got entangled in other activities. Four months later and Makosi is back with that itch- to become a superstar! She is unhappy that she is not on billboards, endorsing brands, gracing the red carpet, surrounded by swarm of fans falling all over her; she can't understand why I can't get her VVIP tickets, why she is not on the cover of Complete Fashion, why nobody knows her or waves to her when she visits the mall. So I try to explain to her that the Nigerian public would only find you worthy of attention and respect if you build a proper brand- away from reality TV sensationalism.I gave her a few suggestions. She chose one of them- to write her a book. I picked a title and theme. She loved it. Then I set out to work. But I was obviously running out of (her) time. Four weeks later and Makosi's itch gets worse- she wants the book out, and she wants it out NOW! But books take time; I needed more time- a few more weeks; but she would have none of that!So I put together, in 10 days, an inspirational coffee-table nugget book. We held a photo-shoot; at first Makosi said she hated the pictures, then she said she liked them. It was hard keeping up! When I presented the nugget manuscript, she said she liked it. A few days later, she hated it; screaming that I should give it to some other celebrity- shouting and fuming like a chimney for me to pay back her money. What money? I had invested two months of my life in a project she agreed on, if she suffers bipolar issues then that cannot possibly be my fault. I believed the best thing was to go back to the original script (the one she was too impatient to wait for) and get it done. We were back to square one! She goes out of circulation. I try to reach her…try to get her to explain her fluctuating disposition. But I couldn't reach her- for over one month!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLOLADE…….
I asked few friends, “Do you think I should give myself a birthday shout out on my blog?”. The Yeses overshadowed the Nos. Someone asked, did you have to ask that? Common, it’s your blog. Yea, but I could be “pen-shy”. So here I am.
First things first. I’m immensely grateful- to God, my family, friends, readers, fans (if I have any.lol) for Everything- the additions, substractions, multiplications and so forth. God bless you real good.
Wow! Two decades and a half on planet earth. I told myself, another birthday has arrived? But it really seems only yesterday that I was a whole year younger! I remember every single thing that happened last year. It’s feels so wonderful that I’m standing before another one – so soon.
A little about me- I’m 4 out of 5 (my position in the family). The only girl (this should answer numerous questions on my penchant for football), ‘quarter to tomboy’, single and being searched.lol, bubbly, energetic, ambitious, optimistic, restless and of course very pesky.
Pastimes- writing (mostly poems), playing scrabble and watching good movies/football. Dreams- being a celebrated writer, a quintessential PR Executive and outstanding success in all I do. Fears- getting married to a wrong partner and not making Heaven.
Lastly, I’m not yet fulfilled, I’m on the path and I’m going confidently in the direction of my dreams. Thank You for being part of my life. For making it amazing and worth living.
Happy Birthday to me and other beautiful souls born today. It’s been an amazing journey. God’s grace is unfathomable. Thank you for the birthday messages….they’ve kept me and are still keeping me overly-busy.
I adore you all.
