How will she 'loose direction', because she is named as 'one of the most influential blacks in America?

.

Puzzled. . .

Influential ummm . . .

Seen her a couple of times on tv

I've seen her on CNN a couple of times during the elections she's really not all that I'm sorry, and influential she is so not.

she needs a nose job

When she finds out that people think she's influential, she will want to act like one. In the process she can run down her carreer.

So because someone works for CNN and collects weekly salary abi is it monthly,the person is influencial abi?

Even Kristina Amanpour who's very prominent cannot be said to be influential.

what for? her nose is in proportion to her face, plus she's African, she is not claiming jews link like some people
omo ina sha!

influential where?

Someone that cant even pronounce her own surname.

Abeg make I hear word

such a babe - looks n brains. Knowing u'r influential should never get to ur head - she looks down to earth to me, so i dont think she'll have any problems with her status. When they say influential, I guess in her field, she has some clout. U cant get that far without making some powerful friends, people.

That is a very dirty habit and that's why there are  deodorants. A lady should only be caught dead with a wet armpit in this modern world.  If she is a hot celebrity in America, TMZ and co would have disgraced her with that picture. They are just nasty and dirty especially when they were shot in America. I can understand some people battling with that problem in Nigeria because of the humidity but you can perfectly control it here in America. Very embarrassing if I must say the least.

ireport u claim to be so knowledgeable
yet u dont even realise that deodorants simply prevent odours
anti-pespirants are the ones that stop sweating

that said its natural but not becoming of a woman

Can you sell your stupidity somewhere please. Antiperspirants are  deodorants.

if you dont sweat then better drag yourself to a doctor.

what a buffoon.

Another evidence that some people here are pigs. We all 'shit' but the 'shit' shouldn't be seen as skid marks on our pants. Stop excusing bad behavious with natural bodily functions. No wonder you are yet to nail a man. The woman in the photo was a bit careless and I'm sure she'll erase that picture from this world if it's possible. Ezi ofia.

she needs a nose job

She doesn't need any nose job. She is just an ugly woman period and I recommend an extreme makeover from head to toe.
