JLo struggles to walk in clingy dress, and her standby-assistant was waiting to help
Well, in Naija-speak we would say, “na by force to wear tight dress?”
But that moot point doesn’t resonate with Jennifer Lopez, the
45-year-old fashionista who looks like she hasn’t aged a day since 25.
Last week, she dressed up in ready-to-wear classy shorts to her weekly job as one of the American Idol judges. But yesterday she stepped down from her car in a very clingy bodice that was so unbearable to walk in that she even had a ready assistant waiting to zip up the dress. And then JLo made quick short strides into the American Idol studios, careful to avoid falling on her face.
Lol!
But, really, she looked like she had been sqaushed into the dress, like sardine, albeit beautifully, such that you barely even noticed the tedious job that excellent look had cost the wearer and the toll it mos def would take on her.

Chimamanda Adichie: On The Oba Of Lagos
By Chimamanda Adichie
A few days ago, the Oba of Lagos threatened Igbo leaders. If they did not vote for his governorship candidate in Lagos, he said, they would be thrown into the lagoon. His entire speech was a flagrant performance of disregard. His words said, in effect: I think so little of you that I don’t have to cajole you but will just threaten you and, by the way, your safety in Lagos is not assured, it is negotiable.

Quote of the day
If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. if, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. the origin of myths is explained in this way.
