I watched with sheer agony and horror at the video of a young beautiful "yellow sisi" making mockery of herself at the just concluded Miss Rivers Golden Jubilee beauty pagentry.
You see a contestant was asked a really basic question; "would you prefer an arranged marriage or marrying for love and why?", all hell broke loose right then, our beautifully clad sister couldn't construct proper sentences, she finally manage to utter something about how it's important to "arrange" your marriage before going into it and not marry out of love.
At that point I was seriously vexed like "really", I couldn't even bring myself to laugh at her sef for making such utterances. You see; I believe it all traces back to our value systems; I was born and grew up in Port Harcourt, it's a city where every skinny girl wants to be a model and win a beauty pageant.
why is this? it's because of the value the Rivers state has placed on such activity; there's always a pageantry going on in this state with mouth watering prizes to be won.
I strongly believe she pulled all stops to get to that stage but didn't realize they would even ask any questions. we have placed little a value on education and so much on beauty.
we fail to realize that beauty without WISDOM is nothing!
