..a sequel, .Diddy and a 105˚ highness, howz that!

Call me a prophet of doom but, I tend to smell things as far as I can see them! – Whatever that means.
I was pretty positive that I would return with updates about the 2007 THISDAY music festival in Nigeria. This time guess whoz sick this time. Uncle P. Diddy! Dig that! This bruda got sick! Of what? FEVER! Ignore the exclamations. Im just almost bewildered that my predictions are almost becoming sleek. Graciously, this one got hit with a 105˚ ‘they’ say back in the states but, fortunately, Nigerians again are basking in the glory for getting Diddy that ‘high’! Itz kindda ironic that with that level of 'highness' we are not hearing about a lawsuit for arson...hmmm.

Rounds of ‘beefs’ has it that, it is an aftermath of the terrible hangover after consuming our iconic Local Palmwine in gracious quantities….that shit is a bummer! Its sweetness and high vitamins contents, trick you into 'bingeing' like a bitch till you are sweetly high. Other sources say that they must have took warnings about dangers of drinking local water on National Geographic so seriously that they ended up dehydrated like camels in Saudi Arabia. The overall success of the whole event which I was looking forward to learn has been albeit temporarily hazed by news of ‘getting high and fainting’. How did Legend do? Shakira - yu supposed to be the one doing the shakin! UB40! Missy, hope she aint gonna mess up too, argh!
...hope this distractors go off air for a while so we can hear story.

We had ‘hard’ men in the likes of Snoop, Jay Z, ‘to the left, to the left…’, among other stunts render a almost hitch free concert in the maiden edition last year. What happened to this breed that was much more promising? Was the vaccination and quarantine sections of the US and Nigerian Immigration too busy involved in organising the festival?
I must confess that I was taken aback! The news of mischief that I was kindda rooting for was along the line of poor management, logistics, audience control and maybe, NEPA! …but, WHOA! We are rising over trademark setbacks and renting the stage in exchange for foreign income…talk about entrepreneurial psychics and celeb-drama in Nollywood!
