Still in the UK
I'm still in the UK, no confirmed dates for my return yet.
I've spent my time working on a new CMS enabled corporate website for my employer, and in my spare time a new template for this blog, hopefully to include the new blogger features.
Apart from the dreadful Christmas Oil Pipeline Explosion that killed 260 people and the complaints about the ongoing fuel shortages, I haven't heard much from Nigeria. Shamefully I admit I haven't been reading much of the Nigerian press websites
It seems every other blog has jumped in on the "Celebrity" Big Brother Racism row. In my opinion Programmes like Big Brother are good reasons to throw away our televisions, but it seems some people do watch avidly including many Nigerian friends here in the UK. I'm not going to add anything to it myself, except suggest you read Nkem's posts (Bigot Brother, Bigot Brother coverage)

i agree, programs like big brother are an lazy way for broadcasters to avoid making good quality programs. the vast majority of these reality shows are stifling proper innovation and creativity in entertainment in my opinion, but they sell, and so they won't go away....
Quite on the contrary. I don't watch big brother purely because i am too busy with uni and work but in light of recent events, it has presented opportunity for discourse on social ills...i.e. racism!
