Most of the African countries that receive foreign stars as ambassadors of a noble cause use them to raise money worldwide. Politicians in United States sought celebrities to boost their campaign funds. Not in Nigeria, politicians use workers’ salaries and funds that can be better used to relieve the pain and suffering of their people to pay foreign celebrities, failed and former politicians to grace local occasions even for a few minutes.
It has never made sense that owner of ThisDay, Mr. Obaigbena, that could not pay the salaries of his workers, many times paid former presidents and celebrities just to peep at Beyonce’s boobs and grace various occasions in Lagos, Nigeria. Not to be outdone, Gov. Fashola also arranged for Ms. Kardashian to drop by and just say “Hey Naija”. Are these people star struck or suffering from some deep underlining complex?
