Check well, I think the op is a humour blogger so the writeup is fictional to some extent.

OMG. This was a write-up base on fiction. And I dedicate my time to come to this job/vacancies section daily to learn and be informed.
So not fair, tell me which story or experience do I term a joke or real now. Fictional works should not be allowed in dis section. Cuz they term to mislead ppl. Thanks

Sense of humour and choice of words. #Thumbs up

Funny girl

I know I am too old for this but FT... lol

Yet almost everyone loves chiddima's hair, you must really be ugly for artificial hair to make you pretty...

Horlawoomey:


That girl can make person forget em sorrow. Quite a while Dania.

She always has a way of leaving a stupid grin on my face whilst reading.
Been ages o! Happy new year!

You are a fool

Bloody bastard


It is her fvking hair. She was born with it. She has no control over it. Her hair isn't created to look straightened or covered up in dirty smelly weaves/attachments.

If you are comfortable being told that you are ugly and odd because of your kinky hair, wide nose, full lips and black skin, not everyone is. There are some of us who do not suffer from inferiority complex like your likes.

Our natural hair is designed to be plaited, twisted, dreaded etc not covered up with another person'shair

Loser!

Blood of jesus save your soul. Kindly return home and redirect your insults to your. Family. Cuz they gave you d home training you have. I don't know you and am not part of the the problems in your life. How can you just come out with insults. Words re not enough to address ur stupidity.

nice write up,,far frm real life,,so much lies embedded in it

My dear it might be fictional though,but it isn't far from real life...My hair is natural too and I know what I go through at work,on the road e.t.c. A male friend once told me I should just say I am broke and need money to make my hair instead of forming African lady. The truth still remains that Africans can't be liberated from mental slavery. My hair has never been healthier until I decided to stop applying chemicals(relaxer)to get it straightend like that of the whites.

You deserve more vitriol than that

I never gt my twist out right to. When I unravel the twist... no words to describe it

Never fret, it will miraculously sort itself out one day. Mine used to get me comments like "when will you comb your hair", "are. you doing dreadlocks" and this December, I took my time and twisted it and the miracle happened.

They haven't started asking you "is it because you're single that you want to join MFM for husband prayers? " I was happy I got married and rocked my natural hair on my wedding day.

Naijasinglegirl:
Lmao. BUT i am the landlady here na,

Den I am the landlord

Naijasinglegirl:
She grew up Sir. ''Who funny help?"

Lol .. but e help u win award na..


I admire ur work..just saying recently u are working beneath your great potentials..

u have the capacity to do better( its in you ,peak)..

NB : from someone who followed u right from the start..

Hilarious...u made my noon

I guess the natural hair movement has not swept the nation like here in the U.S.

But seriously even here you get odd comments from older family members about why your hair isn't "done", you get awkward looks and sometimes comments from coworkers. My besties see the growth I gained from not relaxing and tell me how long my hair would look now if I relaxed again (huh?)

Going natural is revolutionary. Even for ppl who share the same type of hair & history to you. We are conditioned to believe that hair is meant to be straight, meant to be as Euro looking as possible. When u don't conform to that norm, it's gonna bring out those who aren't "woke", just be patient w/ them.

I uploaded my first twist out to Twitter and a guy, now blocked, said in attempt to insult me that my hair resembled a sheep dog. LoL. So ignorance is everywhere. But here in the U.S. almost every commercial I'm seeing w/ Blk women have them w/ naturally curly/kinky hair. It's amazing. If naija isn't there yet, it will be soon... I hope.

ikombe:
is dat ur natural hair via dp

Yes.

daretodiffer:


The idiots (if they are Africans) that liked your post do not deserve to be alive.

You prefer your white master's hair to your mother's hair. I hope you are planning to marry a white woman. Any black woman that is willing to subscribe to your BS must be mentally deranged.

Omg. U must think you smart. Learn to speak like a literate and not a tout with vulgar languages. If u can let me educate you a bit. You have showed us good African hairstyles. God knows am more inlove with women on their natural hair. But it has to be kept clean and neat. Then to d point of educating you. In nigeria and overseas. In d cooperate world their are dress code. Dress codes don't rely on clothes on your body, but a full up and down having a cooperate look. For the men, good well shaved and clean beard and haircut, for the ladies cooperate wears and good looking hair. Even a proper combed hair is far better than d pix u displaying aside from d last photo. Hope have been able to convince you and not confuse you further abt d African hair heritage. Thank you #applaudise

Don't confuse being a feminist and proud African with being stupid. Pass ur message like an adult. I only hope am speaking to o

Yes.

Naijasinglegirl:
A friend spoke to her mum concerning my unemployed status and the mum promised to look into my matter.
Recently, she called one evening to inform me her mum asked that I come to her office the following day with my résumé and two passport photographs. My friend also said, “Please dress very well. You know my mum can worry,”
After ransacking my wardrobe in search of the perfect office wear, I sighed in exasperation when I stood in front of a mirror.
You see, I have been indoors for a while and at ease, rocking ‘didi’ in my natural hair since I’ve had nowhere important to go. My didi makes me look like a 15 year old and there is no way I want to look like a 15 year old when I’m out to look for my Chevron job. I quickly loosened my hair and all I was left with was a confused looking afro.
I had discarded the last of my worn-out wigs some weeks back and I was completely disoriented on what to with my hair as I had only a night to get ready. I proceeded to do what they call twistouts, my first twistouts as a naturalista before going to bed.

Next morning, after getting dressed, my heart was pounding wildly as I unravelled my twists. I don’t have the right words to describe how my hair looked when I was done. I was tempted to compare it with twistouts photos on Instagram but I held on to the conviction that what you don’t know won’t kill you and the only way I could get away with the thing on my head was to rock it with an arrogant confidence.

As I walked out of my estate, a white infinity with slightly tinted windows pulled up at a sharp bend beside me and a male voice said,”Hello, excuse me.”
Thinking Mr Right has finally found me, I stopped only for the guy to say a woman hawking bread is coming that I should please wait and help her offload her bread when she comes. Truly, there was a woman hurrying towards his car with agege bread on her head but when I peeped into the vehicle, there was a lady wearing a long Brazilian hair, his girlfriend maybe, fiddling with a Samsung phone.
She didn’t even raise her head to say good morning to a single girl. I was so infuriated!

“You think you people are the only ones that feel like eating agege bread? Is it because I am not wearing human hair that’s why you can’t tell her to get down to help the bread lady or both of you don’t have two hands. Rubbish!” I said.
The guy stared dumbfounded as I walked away.

In the bus to Obalende, I sat on the middle of the second row and eyed everybody behind who stared at my hair from the mirrors. The conductor with his unhealthy mohawk dreads said “Fine girl, this your hairstyle resemble my own.”
“God forbid bad thing.” I cursed.

As I pulled out my wallet to pay my fare, it dawned on me I had no passport. Luckily, I located a small photograph studio by the bus stop at Obalende. The operator, after promising me he was the next best thing after Kelechi Amadi Obi took me the most ugly set of photographs. I know passports are naturally ugly but the ugliness of my photo on the computer screen was beyond comprehension. When I complained as he was about printing them, he said, “But na your hair make it dey so. I snap wetin I see.”
I just pretended to answer a fake phone call and sneaked out of the building so I wouldn’t pay.

On arriving the office, my friend’s mum handed me an address of a recruitment agency in Broad Street and said the manager was her friend, that I drop my CV with her. Then she said “My dear, this your hair sef. I hope she judges your appearance based on what she sees on your passport.”
That was when I told her I forgot my passport. She said I am an unserious person. Then she took out a turban from her bag and I thought she wanted to give it to me but she shocked me by taking off the horrible looking foul nyash wig from her head and replacing it with a turban.
“Wear this wig to take a passport and make sure you bring it back to me on your way from Broad street.” she said. I put the wig in my bag with the promise to wear it once I get to the studio.

My high point of the day came when I was about crossing a road to take a keke. An afro-naturalista at the backseat of a passing vehicle screamed, “I LOVE YOUR HAIR, GIRL.”
When I heard that, my confidence was restored and I resolved not to wear the wig.

I found a 2-min photography booth at Broad Street. This one was run by a lady. I got seated and was reapplying my powder peacefully when the lady came close to me with her cheap camera and a small tooth comb. She told me to bend my head.
“Meaning what? Who sent you to comb my twistouts?” I shouted. “Don’t you know this is the style? Do you know how many people have told me I LOVE YOUR HAIR?”
“Ejo e ma binu. It’s for your own good.” she said as she withdrew.
“Thank you but it’s not your head! Just do the work I’m paying you for please.” I said.
I got my very ugly passports and went to the recruitment office.

The recruitment agent, a soft spoken lady, refused to take her eyes off my hair as she asked me series of questions, based on the information on my CV. When the interview was finally over, she said, ”You are smart but my major concern in recommending you to a potential employer is this your hair. I’m going to call you back in a few weeks for another assessment. Please try to make your hair then. I know money is hard to come by when you have no job but if you can’t afford that, you can even go natural. I heard that’s what is in vogue.”

But I thought my hair is natural?

Nice one, I can't help but to laugh.

a sheep dog? The guy was probably right, but anyways, never mind......

The truth is that ur twist out night hv looked funny, u probably have a 4b-c hair type. Do what suits ur hair type, not what other natural hair ladies do. Their twist out may look like a nice weave, urs may look like u woke on the wrong side of the bed. So pls customize ur natural hair styles to suit u

Bla bla bla so I skipped to d end and I was disappointed











HOW DOES THIS ERADICATE CORRUPTION?

OMG can't stop laughing

frakdon:

^^ see, ignorant ppl come with the territory. My hair looks like a Black woman's hair is supposed to look. Comparing my natural features to that of an animal is dehumanizing but I guess your parents didn't teach you that.

Moving right along.

Chai! Epic.

You just made my day.

I agree with the ultimate crux advice: What works for one head of hair won't necessarily work for yours. Though curls in the "4" category are actually the best for twist out/braid out styles. Hair typing is kind of dumb anyway, strand thickness, hair density, & porosity play larger factors in how you should approach your hair than curl type.
