When yoruba women were beauty personified and well-groomed. Now all they do is bleach to compete with Igbo ladies, stab nd cheat on their partners.

Traditional values gone pftt!


Na wa o! We re all Nigerians and yet we compare and critize each oda like dis, dats y d whites call us babboons.. We av lots of fair, infact very fair yoruba ladies, not only igbos are fair, go to Ondo akoko part Ʊ wuld see lots of dem, am proud to be one.. We av fair, chocolate, dark, black and shine all over, among the igbos, yorubas,calabar, delta and co, pretty women And handsome guys. So pls, learn to appreciate ur fellow Nigerians instead of praising the whites that doesn't even know Ʊ exist and dislike ur culture and country like shit.. God bless us all

Last time I checked, best things in life are free take the air we breath for example. This is why some tribes in Nigeria don't sell their daughters because they are priceless!

Interesting....so how did all that natural and unique beauty just disappear that these days ladies can't do without makeup.


Lots of the women of nowadays lack self confidence...they want to be like somebody else. Some of them say they do it for men yet men complain of the "masquerades"they have become.

LOL. I don't do call girls. Just letting you know who the most exotic girls are. They've got an asset which theyshamelessly flaunt for the highest bidder. I hope you will refrain yourself from calling Ibo girls exotic. Because exotic girls are prostitutes and those the likes you see on music videos.

my dear your putting words in my mouth..i never said they aint or are beautiful. I am just a keen observer...but why do we have less MBGN from there?
so much for being a keen observer.



So you really think the girl chosen as the most beautiful girl in Nigeria is actually the most beautiful girl in Nigeria?



And if you have a model friend or beauty contestant as a buddy, they will tell you the award is political

I doubt some of the pictures are of Yoruba people esp The female graduates of Ibadan and the two women tying two george wrappers with a simple blouse. It's always good to verify and vet pictures before posting, unless the photographer said otherwise,those pictures i pointed out are not Yoruba.
On beauty,African magic Yoruba can be used as a standard for measuring beauty of Yoruba women. The fact is that most of the pretty looking women are mixed down the line or are from a different ethnic group,e.g :
Doris simeon - Edo
Helen Paul - Edo
Fathia Balogun - Delta
Iyabo Ojo - Yoruba/Igbo
Rachel Oniga - Delta
Mercy Aigbe - Edo
Toyin Aimakhu - Edo.
It is interesting how they come up to tell us they are not Yoruba or are mixed.
That leaves you with the rest and we know themsmiley.

and yorubas are not noted to tie george wrapper, they are lace tieng peeps. IT IS ONLY THE IGBOS AND NIGER DELTA have george wrapper as their culture, i noticed it but if i pointed it out they will call me TRIBALIST and KILL JOY

ibos and their pathetic lies.and who told u half of those women are pretty?bukky wright,sola osideko,temitope osoba,biodun okeowo are way finer than helen paul,rachel oniga and toyin.u packed all the non yorubas and claimed that they are fine when only few of them are.the pretty ones in ur list are mercy and Doris,the others are very ordinary looking.it is funny u ibos claim only mixed yorubas are fine when inter tribal marriage is very low in Nigeria and Yoruba land,so i don't know where u got ur mixed sh1t story from.it is not by force to comment especially if you have nothing resonable to say,cos u have not made any sense.btw iyabo ojo has no Ibo blood in her,don't know where u got that sh1t story from,both of her parents are yorubas.it is obvious u know nothing about the Yoruba movie industry,so don't embarass itself any further.

Why must you fill your post with sexual innuendos? Nobody said you shouldn't like your women. The Northern and South Eastern parts are way up there in terms of beauty.

I only explained what beauty means to me, no offence meant. I'm delighted your "beauty" sphere is gradually shifting away from the South East to now include Northern part of the country. Keep up the shift, the more the opportunity you have to travel out of your Aba base, the better informed you are.
