Stand attention!

I remember during my basic school days, when we went for morning parade we were taken through some morning parade routine which saw us doing a lot of activities. One such activity was 'standing attention'. This meant that every one had to stand with his or her legs closed together.

I remember on one occasion, a teacher after giving the instruction for all to stand 'attention', realized one girl had her legs apart. He shouted again "attention" but the girl maintained her position, then commanded "Josephine, stand well". The girl answered "I've stood well". Then the teacher said "how about your legs"?. The girl answered "that's how they are".  The girl left the school a few weeks later out of embarrassment.  Do you think the teacher erred?



Shalom!

Queen of Tatoos

Dear blogville, If you've read my article on 'Why I admire Nigerian Movies' you will understand why Nollywood has a place in my heart. Some actors and actresses I never miss their shows are; Patience Ozorkor, Olu Jacobs, Bruno Ihuoha, Pete Eneh, Pete Edochie, Florence Onoma, Christie Okonkwo, Maureen Solomon, etc.  One young actress I also admire so much is Tonto Dikeh. She performs her role with so much passion from being a President's daughter to a common house help. However,  I couldn't believe it till I saw it with my own eyes that Tonto has a controversial tatoo on her back in addition to 57 others on her body. Whatever calls for this 'fashion' is left to her to say. I feel its not necessary cos, she is only poisoning her blood. Does she want to enter into the Guinness Book of World Records?  God have mercy. Shalom! picture credit: Nigeriafilms.com
