Poll - Like Kim Kardashian, Will You Accept Money For a Date With A Strange Man?

Kim Kardashian was in the news for annoying an 84year old billionaire who had allegedly paid half a million dollars for her company at the opera. She accepted with the clause her momager would be there. At the event though, the old man wanted one-on-one time and went ahead to grope and fondle her. She got annoyed and left, making me think that was not part of the contract. But the old man says, it was Kim who did not stick to the "program".

I'm all for marking how far we've come as a united country, but certainly no fan of the Nigeria Centenary Award Show which I think is just a big waste of money, and of course some will "come and chop". Most of the names on the list (here) are vomit-inducing to be clear, [Babangida and Sani Abacha as promoters of unity, patriotism and national development?] but Lugard as the chief player of the amalgamation cannot be faulted.
