I generally like Oge Okoye. I can’t say she’s the best or worst of anything, but she’s okay to look at. I like her more when she does a realistic role – whatever that may be – than when she does the runs girl/bad girl type of roles. I find those more annoying than entertaining.
Here she is on a magazine cover in a blanket. I loathe these blankets. We never had one of these blankets in Nigeria because my parents came back with blankets from Russia that were three inches thick and weighed fifteen pounds. Russia was cold. Nigeria, not so much. Luckily for us, however, we lived in Jos, so it wasn’t half as bad.
But back to Oge, I don’t understand if this is supposed to be sexy. And maybe it’s sexy, and I’m the one with the problem. I think the photographers were going for the naked-wrapped-in-a-sheet-and-too-lazy-to-get-dressed look which often translates to take-me-now or maybe unwrap-me-now. Or maybe that’s just in my own world.
But this blanket that looks like it’s cut from fabric that is used for a curtain and a chair over, it’s rubbing me the wrong way. I mean, I really, really, really don’t like this blanket. Clearly, I have a personal issue that may not apply to anyone else. But I thought I should complain anyway.
Please, Oge Okoye, don’t get wrapped in a blanket again. And I don’t mean to be a wet blanket on your photo shoot. Pun intended.

I don’t like this babe. She just doesn’t ever fall on my good side, maybe bcus I haven’t actually ever seen her do anything apart from those her yeye runs girl movies.
You def don’t have a problem…this is not sexy to me in anyway…the blanket (or whatever) reminds me of Apoche.
Vera Ezimora says
Loool. You sound like my friend, Solachi. She doesn’t like Oge either. Well, I’m glad that I’m not the only one who finds this blanket pose weird.
Nikkisho says
This is actually a magazine cover?!? ugh
Vera Ezimora says
I take that back. I don’t know if it was the cover, but it was definitely in the magazine. Either way, I still feel ugh sha.
Manny says
that photo is all kinds of wrong. with the crooked foot and toes too .. ugh
Vera Ezimora says
I wasn’t even gonna comment on the foot. Lol. Plus, the blanket was too much of an issue for me.
Chichi says
Vera you lived in Jos too? ( I thought you lived in Enugu. Yes I’ve been stalking your blog, lol). That’s where I grew up. Loved it. Some people call it the city with “oyinbo weather”. It used to be one of the best cities to live in back home – until Gboko Haram messed everything up of course. Anyway, I like Oge Okoye some. I’ve seen her in some movies that I actually liked. Don’t ask me cos I don’t remember. But I think she’s just okay too. Nice blog you have here BTW.
Vera Ezimora says
Enugu, no ooo! Lol. I think I’ve been to Enugu only once in my life. I lived in Jos the entire time I was in Nigeria, and my only recollection of being in Lagos is when I went there to catch the plane to America (in 2000). Jos was definitely the oyibo weather City because whenever I went to the East (and the one time I went to Lagos), I thought it was crazy how hot and crowded it was. I went to Alama Private School and St. Louis College. Fun times! While I have not been back even since Boko Haram started, I have heard of the destruction. So, so, sad. Jos/Plateau State was so beautiful.
Meanwhile, thank you for stalking my blog. I like it. Tehehehe. Makes me feel all kinds of awesome 🙂

The Saint says
Ha see me in public disgrace o! And to think I’m meant to pay attention to detail in my work place. I shall leave now to hide my face in shame whilst donning a sack cloth and ashes.
Vera Ezimora says
The Saint,
Hahaha. Wait, they pay you to pay attention to details?? Ehm, can I have the number to your Oga at the top? I think I need to apply for a job. Looool. Luckily for you sha, we forgive public disgrace here. But I’ll still need the number to your Oga at the top.
