I have since decided not to write
about Maheeda anymore but when I came across this article that Charles Novia
wrote titled ‘Maheeda’s Maladjustment’ and was amazed at how the ace movie
director practically psychoanalysed this chick’s insane transition from the
secular to gospel music and finally to a self-absorbed internet risque artiste, and
finally use it to explain the depraving nature of morals in the Nigerian
society. The truth he speaks about is undeniable.
I just couldn't resist pulling out parts
of the article and commenting on them. Check out these excerpts:
Somehow, Maheeda started posting suggestive pictures of her body
on her instagram page which caught the interest of Nigerian bloggers. Since
blogging is generally an acceptable form of lazy journalism and tittle-tattling
in Nigeria, Maheeda’s pictures got the desired attention she wanted. Either by
a covert or overt payment to leading bloggers to keep her in the news (as it is
wont in Nigerian cyberspace) or a calculated ploy to garner more hits to their
sites, the bloggers went all the way out with more indulging pictures of the
young lady. And she was ever willing to give more and cheerfully too with no
intention by me to denigrate her past profession by this phrase.
Very
true that blogging has become an acceptable form of lazy journalism thanks to
those who carry false information about and just blog news without doing any
proper research. I’m not sure about her paying to be kept in the news since
most of the bloggers who feature her stuff just steal from other blogs in order
to draw traffic to theirs. I believe Maheeda was able to get attention because
she had managed to get known through her brief stint in the music industry and
the noise about her becoming born again. In today’s sick society, if you were
an artiste that stopped going secular and claimed to be born again and you
suddenly decided to start stripping online thus contradicting what you claimed
to be, you’ll definitely get attention – both good and bad.
It is instructive to psycho-analyse negative trenders such as
Maheeda who have decided to gain cheap or compulsory notoriety by posting
pictures of their nakedness on social networks. Granted, there were others
before her based in Nigeria or somewhere in America , some older Nanny Goats
who threw decorum to the wind as well and posted pictures of drooping breasts
and disgusting backsides in a bid to gain unfathomable attention. Did Maheeda
learn from them? Or did she decide to improve on their art ( or rather, their
tart!)?.

Maheeda is like a copycat of these three women. The first two being more prominent.Recognize them? |
Hahaha!
Was he referring to those 'popular' women who are totally dedicated to polluting the
morals of this generation with wanton smuttiness and soft-porn? But seriously,
Maheeda shares similarity traits which seemed to have been copied from these women.
Whatever the reasons are, we all should be worried about this
growing trend where shamelessness and wanton exposure of Nigerian women is fast
becoming the order of the day. The children see all these things and I shudder
to think of what is going to happen in our social space in a few years. A
replication or cloning of millions of Maheedas and her likes is probably
inevitable.
It
already looks like the cloning has actually begun. Maheeda is just a clone of
the older ‘nanny goats’ to quote Mr. Novia.
Oh yes, there are some who would react angrily to the fears I
have expressed here and post comments under ‘Anonymous’ name tags on some blogs
where this article would find amplification and vilify me and not my points.
For such missing links, you are entitled to your putrid opinions in the closets
of your anonimity where cowards and bullies find voice.
This
message no doubt is for those people who derive pleasure in checking out
Maheeda’s pictures and masturbating to them. And its evident that this was one
of Maheeda’s aims from a comment she made on her twitter account after her
Instagram account was deleted:
“There’s one thing 4sure , thanks to my old Instagram account, my picture is in the hard dicks of men and women’s head, delete that! Haha!‘
Back to Mr. Novia’s article:
But the fact remains that you who support and urge the Maheedas
of this clime to carry on with the de-mystification of all that is dear and sacrosanct
womanhood, are no better than she is. You are intertwined in the pugnancy of
her putrid purpose. You both are destroyers of the last remnants of the African
woman’s mystique and majesty. You support and encourage her to destroy your
children’s moral future. That is just the plain truth.
Gbam!
I could have said this better! Seriously, let’s think about it – if people were
ignoring Maheeda’s dirty pictures and wanton risqué behavior, would she be
encouraged to continue? If she wasn’t getting attention she’s enjoying, would she
have continued? So she’s not the only one to blame!
I may not know much about psychology or psychosis but I am
willing to bet that Mrs Maheeda is in the early stages of bi-polarism. It is
possible that she is using the pictures to Jekyll and Hyde her mental health issues.
Mercifully, she lives in a Western society where it is only a matter of time
where her total sanity would be called to question.
But if Maheeda is not ill, then what is her plan? Is she
possessed by a legion of seventy times seven demons after her earlier
conversion to Christianity? Or is she just being plain silly? If she is being
silly, then the blogs and websites which amplified her silly whims have a moral
question to answer.
Another
chilling truth! With the contrasting personalities that she has switched into
and out of, one is forced to wonder whether she’s mentally ill and has a case
of personality disorder. Then the second paragraph above explains a spiritual
truth which could be said to be what has happened to Maheeda – the repossession
of a back-slid Christian by amplified sin. Blogs and sites that love to feature galleries of her pics are encouraging the farce.
It is not also far-fetched too that Maheeda might be using the
naked pictures of herself as a new form of visual prostitution. Selling her body
now revamped and refurbished in a new clime, to her former clients as if to
call them out. She might be saying, ‘You can’t have this now. I have gone to
another level’.
Indeed, she has reached a new level. An all-time low of
self-destruction in a gradual process. But knowing the society in which I live
and where she comes from, her destruction may be pyrhic: the sick social
society would soon invite her to red carpet functions and events. Soon, she
just might be signing autographs and strutting societal streets of false
adulation.
I guess this
may be Maheeda’s aim – to become a popular socialite with a large fan base; just
like Kim Kardashian who kick-started her ‘career’ (if you call that a career!) via
an infamous sex tape. These are the worst kind of people to peddle as role models
to a younger generation.
And what was
Maheeda’s response to Mr. Novia’s article? As usual, she so loved the attention
that she had to drop four tweets in response.
I had to laugh when she called
Mr. Novia ‘an attention seeker’. As far as I know, Mr. Novia doesn’t need to
seek attention; he’s already a force in the industry what with his recent movie
‘Alan Poza’ which is gathering acclaim. Also, from all that Mr. Novia wrote,
the only thing that Maheeda could gather was that he was writing about her
p***y because he has none…this just goes to show her level of intelligence. And
that talk about making a movie about her just cracked me up. What can one get
from her lifestyle that constitutes anything but a material for a ‘waka pass' role?
Mr. Novia isn’t
the kind of person Maheeda should even confront; he’s a heavyweight in the
movie industry with experience that would make her exploit amount to the value
of used toilet paper in a restroom.
No need
masquerading. The truth is just too bitter for
this Chick to stomach.
