I came across so many threads on this site [ NAIRALAND], about our Nigerian celebrities and our African American celebrities, am more convince now than ever, that so many black people has problem with inferiority complex, I don't mean this in a negative way, if you browse through other forums, the only time they talk about black people is when they talk of something negative, don't you think is time we support our own brothers and sisters?, stop all the negativity please, Can somebody please tell me what's the problem with our people.

are u trying to say that we need to love all black celebrities cause they are black!!I beg stop it cause it makes no sense when u where the same person hating on Michael Jackson!!

it is said that when u critize people, you make them better. we promote them, we love them, we just want them to be the best thats why some critize.

secondly we mustnt love all of them cuzz i for one dont like R.kelly.

Im sure that there's no human on the surface of this earth, be him/her white or black. That person must have critics/haters.

So if you check this threads well, u'll see that, there are people who appreciate them. Others that criticize them only do it so that they'll be better.

@nine

Fa once can u stop talking about color, first it was MOST CRIMES ARE COMMITED BY WHITE now its WE SHOULD LOVE ALL BLACK  CELEBRITIES!!Can u please go color blinb, i beg

@ diddy
each time i listen to R. Kelly music i always fall in love wit him eventhough i want to hate him, the guiy is amazing!!He is a music Genius!!

and a damn pervert.

i am sorry, i disagrre with all of you .   I am not a  perv bu i think R.kkelly's case is just blown out of proportion , afterall in Africa some girls get married by the age of 12 , so please do talk my boy like that.

if im right, u said marriage and not making a sex tape.

wat do married people do ? sex right and some coouples tape theirs.

well, they are married arent they?

what is the point of him making a video about it, and the girl was 15 and he is like in his late 30 and he got a baby mama at home, why cant he go sleep wit her instead of giving himself a bad name!!People really respected him!!

You don't understand why I dislike Michael Jackson, I dislike Michael Jackson because he hated being black, he even said and I quote that his greatest regret is that he was born black, you are not more of Michael Jackson fan than I was, I can sing all Michael Jackson songs from A-Z exactly the way he sang it even better, there is a thin line between love and hate, may be you should try and understand me, and to me now he is not my brother, he is not black.

he didnt force her, it was with her consent yeah i understand he is 30 but the girl consented to it. afterall 10 yr olds fck around these days

a 30 years old man cant judge better abi? with all the older girls around, 15 was the one he wanted.

and i5 yr old wanted him

everybody wants him but he should be able to use his head not his joystick.

well not everyone digs the best looking guy in the world , both of them just wwanted to fck , they did it.

and he is taking the fall for it.

To diddy4

This is only what I was trying to explain

rkelly is like the new king of r&b he makes good music n hes from chicago comon whats better than that?

anyways this topic, what do u expect? everyone is not gonna like every celeb out there n there's always gonna be criticism.

who's bring them dowm?, if u gat d talent gud 4 u, if u don't well 2 bad!
but no one is bringing ny one down. besides there r quite more african American celebrity,
in some business than white (e.g, In music!)

Has anyone here ever heard about the term "constructive criticism"? Well from the many negative posts I have read with regards to Nigerian celebrities have definitely put a sour taste in my mouth. I strongly believe in growth in all aspect of life and am very much elated with I see my people progress in all manner of life. However, I think there needs to be a limit. Jesus said, and I am paraphasing, that a prophet has no honour in its own land. Sad to say this holds to be very true. This Napolean complexity that we black people seem to can't rid ourselves of need to stop.
Don't get me wrong, criticism once utilized in its correct form is great, however, one must be cautious. Remember Rome wasn't built in a day.
For the enquiring minds, No am NOT Nigerian, but I am hurt constantly by the pessimistic remarks that I read here daily. Honestly, I am beginning to seriously consider whether or not I should remain a part of this forum. Since my introduction here, I have begin view my people,( yes my people, I was taught in school that my fore parents came from Africa) in a whole different light.
Hollywood was like Nollywood once upon a time. Be patient in time Nollywood would reap its harvest. So instead of using our tongues to stiffle their creativity, why not be constructive so as to enable its speedy sucess.

White Men are just deceivers, cuz they mislead Micheal Jackson to death, i believe in blacks more than so called whites.

nigerians are so sentimental and emotional about their celebrities [mostly on a tribal basis], but do the celebrities feel the same way towards them.

and @ topic

we've all seen the "benefits" or is it results of your unwavering support for your celebs.

kudos.

nollywood is now known far and wide and nigeria is more famous as well.

as for nigerian leaders, no need to support them, they are certainly no angels especially if from other tribes.

no pity for the suffering masses at all.
