so you're losing sleep because your steroid influenced vision keeps seeing red eyed Africans?

The Africans you're seeing who ALL have red eyes, must be on the same drugs as you. Undecided

if all Africans have red eyes, then where does the sambo stereotype come from?

Must either be  the weed or poor nutrition. lol

All the people I see with red eyes are either on weed, or don't eat or sleep well. But generalising about Africans? Watch it you don't make this sound like a racist thread.

What do you want to hear? That it's because of the environment, the dust, the struggle, the hustle . . . all of those play a role in it; life no easy for God pikin.  Skin color also exaggerates the effect.  Not all africans experience this. Sometimes it could be related to health issues.

and no it is not the weed.



why would anyone in their right mind see "some" Africans with "cloudy" eyes and make it a general thing?

Look around you- you'll see people from every race who have cloudy eyes. Now, unless you're trying to prove red eyes are peculiar to people of continental African descent, you have no point here.

Just because of this thread alone I went and checked out posts with pictures of Nigerians, here on Nairaland, and I didnt see anyone with these "cloudy eyes" that you're trying to say is an African trait.

if you're too lazy to do some proper research, but would rather generalize based on some weed smoking or maybe overworked associates of yours, then too bad.



Browse Nigerian sites,flikr ,my space and facebook and take note how many Africans you're seeing with red eyes there.

Nonsense. Why not ship some visine over.

Explain this:

http://www.pictures-of-nigeria.com/images/CW65-r9-29.jpg

People in Amerikka DO NOT have eye color like this UNLESS something is WRONG with their liver.

In Amerikka it is called Jaundice - usually from medications or some form of medications.


Usually people with eye color like this are very ill.


Afrikans on the other hand walk around appearing PERFECTLY HEALTHY with eye discoloration.


and it it BULLSH!t to state it is SKIN COLOR.

I've seen very Dark Africans with perfectly white teeth and eyewhites - they are a sight to behold.

Here I'll anwser myself.

It could be a cadre of things

Malaria
Yellow Fever
Water-Pollution
etc.

take a pick - also babies are born with this syndrome - which is particularly unfortunate.

this is ONE picture!!!!!!!!!!


ONE guy with cloudy eyes and you're here stating its a general African thing!!!!!!!!

get a life!!!!!!


From your personal picture alone, would people be justified in drawing conclusions about all AAs? Put your photo back up and let folks see you. Undecided Undecided Undecided Undecided




Use your common sense abeg!



The man in the picture could either be ill or just showing the effects of a long day- he's in some kind of festival for crying out loud! Didnt you notice the background and his bright clothes? Or maybe you think thats normal everyday dressing in Africa!

geez- your ignorance is mindblowing!!!!!!!!!!! Shocked Shocked

how old are you anyway? Try to finish high school abeg. Your own brand of ignorance is something else.

you're just contradicting yourself in every sentence.

If Africans are walking around with this kind of eye color and yet still appear perfectly healthy, then what exactly is your point and what is your problem? Huh Huh

Now you say you've seen dark skinned people with white teeth and white eyes.

you are not well. Angry

@ All y'all saying 'Nigerians should stop taking stuff seriously', we get ur drift aiight? I don't visit this section frequently but I know this poster is fond of bashing Nigeria/Nigerians in most of his posts. That's the reason he's getting these sarcastic comments. Look at his other topics and posts and you'll understand why these 'Nigerians are taking stuff too seriously'.

Anywayz @ topic, ur query still makes no sense to me. I personally do not have red eyes or 'cloudy' eyes. What prevented u from asking those 'red/cloudy' eyed Nigerians why they have them?. One can only speak for him/her self. So, get it right, you're beginning to bore me with ur topics.

its not about whether we take things too seriuos or not but its the fact that the same fool keeps posting stupid stuff about nigerians and he likes to insult us. the way he ask them make it seem like his attacking. if he ask the question in a different way that sounds more polite, than we won't be angry.
