Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by THEAMAKA(f): 6:11am On Aug 18, 2011 |
side note: I don't know what is up with Ghana, but soooo not feeling it. is the girl even Ghanaian? this girl also represented Miss Minnesota in the Miss USA pageant 2009. i guess this is the third year in a row Ghana has chosen a Ghanaian-American. and I'm glad Miss South Africa is finally a black girl, and not just a mixed black girl. Miss Angola is the best, followed by Miss Nigera |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 6:17am On Aug 18, 2011 |
Miss Angola - A winner " Bostwana - a keeper " Ghana - First 2 pix, hot. Dont know what happened with the last won. Finalist/ Just there. " Nigeria - A keeper. Just there. " S Africa - Not even. Wont make it " Namibia - Cute, but better off a local champ! |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by THEAMAKA(f): 6:20am On Aug 18, 2011 |
another side note: why do they all look so damn eurocentric? i guess. . . and still contemplating on whether or not to include Egypt, lol |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 6:25am On Aug 18, 2011 |
A better picture of Ms ghana - a winner or finalist! Look at beautiful soft shapes. MISS MAURITIUS - NOT EVEN! No shape whatsoever! Tanzania - A keeper/ Semi- Finalist |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 6:28am On Aug 18, 2011 |
Yeah, Amaka. I know what you mean about Miss Ghana lol. She did compete as Miss Minnesota, so I have absolutely no clue as to why she's Miss Ghana. As far as I'm concerned, she has no business there. It should be like football lol. You choose one nation, and that's the nation you represent till you die. She tried for Miss USA and lost. Now she's Miss Ghana. I just dey scratch head. Make I stop rambling before someone calls me bad belle/hater lol. Miss Angola and Miss SA are the prettiest in my opinion. I still don't see the hype with Miss Nigeria. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 6:31am On Aug 18, 2011 |
Ms Egypt. - Zing!! Winner! Offtopic. . . .respect to Haiti - Beautiful. Finalist. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 7:01am On Aug 18, 2011 |
The first girl all the way. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nellyon(f): 7:54am On Aug 18, 2011 |
Pick a team miss Ghana. Anyway arent Africans mostly black? why are most of these girls 'whitack'? |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nayah(f): 8:57am On Aug 18, 2011 |
I've always said people from Central/ Southern Africa are just flawless especially Angola, Tanzania and many more I'll go for Angola she's really beautiful |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by THEAMAKA(f): 3:33pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
bump Nellyon:I guess when you get "rejected" in oyinbo land, you go back to the land where people will start dying like flies over you. LOL, smh |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Pweety4me(f): 3:57pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
Ms SA got a lovely smile , Miss angola fine |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nellyon(f): 4:00pm On Aug 18, 2011 |

Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 7:24pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
THE AMAKA: You took the words right out of my mouth lol. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by emofine(f): 7:55pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
Miss Namibia looks like a fairy, she's so pretty Nayah: Well in actual fact Miss Angola is originally from West Africa (Cape Verde). . . and "flawless" people are not concentrated in one or two regions in Africa alone especially given the continent's diversity. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nayah(f): 8:03pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
Emofine, this is question of tastes, saying people from some region are flawless doesn't mean the others are ugly, Guinean women, Chadian or Djibouti have some stunning women too PS for Angola I also talk about Micaela Reis who were 1st runner up in Miss World 2008 |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by emofine(f): 8:06pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
Miss Tazania looks like she's been dragged from the wilderness Nayah: True but I actually agree with all the countries you listed anyway lol |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nayah(f): 8:09pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
lol Emofine, but you're right African women are really gorgeous, but I'll always have a preference for Tanzanian and Cameroonian lol |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 8:25pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
They look good. I love Miss Angola looks. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 8:35pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
I hope those are not the pics Nigeria turned in. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by THEAMAKA(f): 9:38pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
this has nothing to do with fashion. since when does beauty pageants EQUAL fashion? move my thread back! |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by InkedNerd(f): 11:17pm On Aug 18, 2011 |
Pageants as a whole suck. They objectify women. All these women are beautiful in their own way. By the way, I heard a lot of people saying that the only reason Ms. Ghana was chosen was because she's light skinned and that the Ghanaian's thought they'd have a better chance at winning with someone who doesn't look like the "typical" Ghanaian. I wish she would have kept her curly rather than straighten it. She looks like a different person with her curly hair.

Inked_Nerd: I agree. I am not a fan. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by pleep(m): 12:56am On Aug 19, 2011 |
^ your also not a man |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by InkedNerd(f): 8:30am On Aug 19, 2011 |
What does being a man have to do with not being fan? |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 10:42pm On Aug 19, 2011 |
Miss Angola, Ghana and Namibia are very pretty. Is Miss Ghana just light skinned or is she mixed? They’re all attractive women, each in their own way. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by InkedNerd(f): 12:31am On Aug 20, 2011 |
Yield: She's multiethnic. Her father is black and her mother is a mixture of caucasian and Persian. Here's the link >>> http://ghanagreat..com/2011/07/yayra-erica-nego-wins-miss-universe.html Apparently, some Ghanaian's are upset that she is even in the pageant. Doesn't surprise me though |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Nobody: 4:15am On Aug 20, 2011 |
Inked_Nerd: Why're they upset? Because she's mixed (aka. not 100% Ghanaian, light-skinned)? . . .Though not everyone who's mixed is light-skinned. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by InkedNerd(f): 5:06am On Aug 20, 2011 |
Yield: It's not because she's mixed, light skin, or not 100% Ghanaian. It's because she isn't a Ghanaian citizen nor was she ever been a resident of Ghana which is why some people believe that they picked her just because she was light skinned and mixed so it would give Ghana a better chance at winning since she doesn't have the features of a "typical Ghanaian". Basically, she was born and raised in the US. She tried out for Miss USA and didn't get the title so I guess she figured that her best shot at claiming the title of Miss Universe was to claim the title of Miss Ghana. I can totally understand why the Ghanaian citizens would be upset. It's almost like a slap in the face--as if there weren't any women in Ghana who qualified for the title. I could even understand if she was born in the country but raised in the US and just wants to represent her homeland but in reality, that just isn't the case. Although in interviews she says she lives in Ghana, apparently, its a lie. She [Miss Ghana] has even talked openly about how her father was absent from her life while growing up which leaves me to believe that she probably has no actual connection or ties to Ghana [besides her father]. |
Re: Miss Universe 2011: African Contestants by Princek12(m): 1:22pm On Aug 20, 2011 |
Ghanaian authorities and most likely its citizens have shown that they suffer from inferiority complex because they have picked their contestant because she is half-white and possesses no visible Ghanaian features. They probably think that in so doing it would give them a better shot at winning. Like Ghollywood movies, where actors who are half-white or lighter-skinned are preferred over non mixed or darker-skinned actors, and where they try to speak with fake American accents and make scenes that represent more of AA culture than Ghanaian culture, they have picked a contestant who is half-white and who has no strong ties with Ghana nor has lived in Ghana over other contestants who embody more of Ghanaian features and experience. Everyone and their mama knows that the average Ghanaian is black like charcoal and has striking features, and it would have done their country proud had they chosen a contestant who is an embodiment of Ghanaian physical attributes and culture. I am sure if Ghanaian authorities had their way, they would transform all their citizens to half-oyinbo. This selection also highlights how dumb and silly many people in positions of power in Africa are. How can you choose a girl to represent your country at a Miss Universe pageant when that same girl had attempted to represent another country but lost? Had she won the Miss USA pageant she would not have competed in the Miss Ghana pageant and would have cared less about representing Ghana. |
