Mbgn , The Wrong Message It Sends!!! by K9blunt(f): 9:58am On Oct 14, 2015 |
Well I was quite young when I was fascinated with most beautiful girl in Nigeria until I became an adult: I started wondering; what is the big deal about MBGN anyway? What impact does it have for the common woman (man) Why do the women look more like African/American, African/European than Nigerians The 3rd question got me more pissed than the rest because left to me if I was president (wishful thinking, lol) I would've scrap MBGN altogether because it’s baseless, degrading (since Africans are supposed to cover their unclothedness) and misleading. Let me state the issues I find disturbing 1 - WEIGHT * now naturally our African (in this case Nigerian) woman is supposed to be plumy to express the healthy woman, with curves in the right places, but what I see on the MBGN program is skinny girls (am not hating o, In fact am skinny thanks to owu, lol) just the way the Europeans /westerners portray their women as skinny and sexy. WHY can't we define our own beauty without the western portrayal of beauty? It doesn't make sense and with these (forget Agbani Darego) we don't have our identity as a nation. 2 - COMPLEXION * you know that I know that we all know, when you say 'AFRICAN PERSON' the first thing that comes to mind is a black person, not yellow (like miss universe from Calabar. By the way congrats to her) or mixed race. We are black! Save for the people (who are few) that are light skinned and then we have the albinos but they are everywhere. We need to identify our natural color with pride. 3 – HAIR * now I have never in my entire life come across any black lady, both here in Nigeria or television with real Brazilian, Chinese, or Caucasian hair. For goodness sake how low in esteem can we get. Ok I get it’s a personal choice, but you can’t bring your personal choice of fakeness (no offence, but biatch it aint your hair, duh!) to a programme that has to do with your heritage. What happened to nappy afro looks? What happened to Shuku, Didi, even Thread? Are we saying we cannot be creative with our local styles we can’t sell to the world at large? Maybe am speaking gibberish to those who have accepted defeat….. Sorry the norm of artificiality, of dancing in traditional clothes with Peruvian hair, speaking foney when other countries like france will manage to speak english without faking the knowledge Its not her primary language (biko speak lay English you learnt from your public school let’s know against all odds (like me, lol) can come out to say we can express ourselves, you are portraying a lady that hasn’t left the country. I won’t put all the blame on our contestants, NO NO NAH! I would blame the sponsors and the host for encouraging and even enforcing the idea of artificiality. We can’t be screaming “AM BLACK AND PROUD!!!” and expect races/countries to take us serious because we are not serious about ourselves Just a thought though. Later. 3 Likes |

You have a point. All these you talked about are as a result of the influence of the west and our newfound 'copy copy' nature. I wouldn't mind a slim and dark bae with good hair tho. |

*claps* I totally appreciate your line of thought, however its the system that we need to change entirely and MBGN is just a segment of it. Africans have been made for centuries to see themselves as inferior. We copied the foriegn form of government, form of communication and language, form of dressing, definition of beauty and even their God, yet we wonder why we are so backwards, in / out of crises and derided by the commitee of nations Africans need to go back to being Africans or at least redefine themselves. All of these are summed up in one word "NEGRITUDE". Its so painful when they teach us Mungo Park discovered the Niger when our ancestors have been fishing there for centuries, or how many pple know of "Nsibidi" (permit my spelling) the indigineous writting system of the Igbos, complete with unique letters or characters. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Baseless post. The number one is the worst of it all. Fat is unhealthy be it African or American. As for complexion, I don't give a damn about it. Black or white, beauty is beauty. The only problem I have with MBGN is that they are too corrupt. They give the crown to the most connected contestant and that's why the likes of Isabella Ayuk, Silvia Nduka, Anna Banner, etc were able to beat other better contestants. |
Re: Mbgn , The Wrong Message It Sends!!! by K9blunt(f): 2:52pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
RedCard1: fat is not unhealthy, rather too much fat results in one being over weight hence, unhealthy. I merely said curvy shaped women, not skinny ladies that looks like they hadn't had proper food for a whole month my dear beauty yes is beauty, if not MBG would not be in vogue in the world. at the last you're right. in conclusion....................... my baseless points is your opinion anyway. |
