Right from infancy, kids are indoctrinated to view 'svelte' as the ideal body type. Little wonder they grow up with a warped view of their own body image, and as such experience insecurities that can make them go to any length to conform to the society's view of what beauty should look like.

These dolls look like black, Ankara attired barbies: long limbs, long neck, large eyes and graceful poses. The chubby, naturally shortlegged child will grow up viewing herself as less than beautiful than the slim girl who looks a little like these barbie dolls.

Growing up, my dolls were those stiff, wooly haired plastic dolls that look like 'sigidi' (idols), so I never had that problem

hahahahhahah lool

Because you have been brainwashed to see it awkward and different.

One person that Okoya [the creator] really hopes the dolls will have a positive impact on is his daughter, who, he explains, once wished she was white.

Nigerian entrepreneur, Taofik Okoya, has created
Nigerian dolls that are outselling the Barbie doll, the
UK Daily Mail is reporting. The paper said according to
Reuters, 9,000 units of the £4.50 (N1,280) dolls are sold per month, taking up 15 percent of Nigeria’s toy market.

According to the Daily Mail, Mr. Okoya decided to make the dolls after he set out to buy a black doll for his niece but could not find any.

The dolls, which are also sold online, have found buyers not only in Nigeria but in America, Brazil and Europe.

In an interview with Elle Magazine, Mr Okoya said
“My mission is to make the Queens of Africa a symbol of hope, trust, and confidence by promoting African history, culture, and fashion.

However, Mr. Okoya, who has been trying to market his dolls in American stores, has been told he can sell them only in specialist stores and not larger department stores but he remains undeterred.

Lol!
The awkwardness is really in your brain and not in those african Things.
You know like you being mad and thinking the rest of humanity is mad and you're sane. That's the mindset of the mentally ill as you have here displayed. Do see a shrink if you can afford one.
The earlier the better.

Should you continue like this, then you'll sooner enter market with this your madness. And once you're in market no more cure.

Keep at it or get yourself treated at yaba left. There is no shame in mental illness its just a disease like any other. So pls get it cured for the sake of others in the society.

Have you started biting people yet? Oh that's a sign you're in your worst state

Nice one.

Very African and beautiful. Nice concept brother man.
