[/left][/left]Nowadays, many celebrities and notable people in the society are surprising us by their innovation which has helped to distinguish them from their peers. By deviating a bit or much into fashion or clothing, television shows, establishment of foundations, community development projects, etc, they exhibit a reasonable level of social responsibility. Kokomansion, a reality TV show, an initiative of Afro beat singer, Oyebanjo Daniel Dapo aka D’banj, is the latest development in this scene so far. The show aims at finding the ideal African woman amongst a number of young women lodged in a large house (Kokomansion) for a stipulated period of time.
Now, there is a big controversy about the show; the search for the ideal African woman. I strongly disagree with this because there are several faults about it that must be corrected.
First, we must not mingle the definition of an ideal (let’s leave African aside for now) woman with the kokolet in as much as D’banj, the kokomaster is involved. They are two separate entities. The virtues or features of an ideal woman cannot be overemphasised. It can never be in any way compared to that of the ideal kokolet being hunted in the real sense. It is like word and opposite. No ideal woman of real value or good moral standards will allow herself to be debased by such a travesty of a show. The ideal woman is immaterial. She is a scarce commodity in this present age, she is hard to find. She loves to keep a low profile (doesn’t mean she is a shyster anyway). Once again, her virtues cannot be overemphasised. Most probably, we would be having the unideal women on the show because no ideal woman will allow herself to be bought so cheaply with a diamond ring, a cash prize of N5m and so on.
Evidently, the ulterior intent of the show is for self-aggrandisement; the public sales of D’banj’s ID, ‘kokomaster’ and other labels as koko, kokolet, etc, making this whole ideal woman idea a perfect adaptive camouflage.
Also, the show proves to be an effective method of multiplying his harem of kokolets.
Again, for a show of high sensitivity as this kind that calls for decency and sanity, D’banj is very much inappropriate to host it as we are aware of his status as a single and more importantly, his excessive inclination towards women.
I suppose his efforts will be more appreciated if he engages in projects that will add value and improve the quality of life in more meaningful ways, especially with the current state of general decline in the country and in the world as a whole. If you ask me, I may suggest water projects, scholarship programmes for students, skill acquisition programmes, and rehabilitation for orphans, destitutes and the have-nots in the society.

where did they pick up the contestants from? i am sure i will make a better and fun show with just myself in it. i may go on the show when i am on holiday in nigeria just to prove these, if anyone knows the producer hola at me, the show is pissing me off big time.broadcast time on the show could be used to play some good naija music.

The concept of the show may be right. One thing i know for sure is that the girls are not intelligent at all. Even when the panel of interviewers gave them clues of what to say when speaking on rebranding Nigeria, they could not think of anything meaningingful to say. It is a big shame
