The first lady of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan has made headlines for different
reasons in the past especially on account of the meeting she convened with
supposed relatives of the kidnapped Chibok girls.
However, the latest incident
of mistaken identity allegedly commiited by Mrs Jonathan pitches the
President’s wife against no less a personality than America’s award-winning
music star, Alicia Keys A tweet by Alicia Quarles, the University of Southern
California graduate and TV personality who currently works with E!, indicates
the first lady has made a request to the lady to come and perform for her in
Nigeria, obviously mistaking her for Alicia Keys.
Although Quarles did not
provide further details on whether the approach was personally made by Dame
Patience Jonathan or somebody from her camp, it is believed the request must
have been made in the excitement of being introduced to Alicia Quarles whose
name doesn’t come out so different from Alicia Keys’ name when properly
pronounced.
‘The First Lady of Nigeria just invited me to sing in her country.
I had to break it to her that I’m Alicia Quarles, not @aliciakeys comedy,’ she
wrote.
It is however, not confirmed if the First Lady actually invited her to
sing in the country but it looks like Alicia Quarles deleted the tweet soon
after.
