buzzedoffbeauty: I'm glad I came across this! I did an ancestry dna test and the results came back of two Nigerian tribes. I do feel more like one than the other but all the same they are both in me. I beleive If all Nigerians did this test they would find out the same thing as I did. If eveyone marries only inside their village then cousin would be sleeping together..I think. I belevie most take on the culture of there fathers but the DNA is still there. I know people would marry off their daughters outside to rich properous men for connectiions. Most think they are one tribe but I think it's not possible but then again I can not confirm this. My husband if what he beleives to be a full blooded igbo man, I'm going to buy him a admixture test so we can find out if that's all there is.

So you are married to a Nigerian, that is good you are going back to your roots even through marriage; your children will have a connection to Nigeria

ogugua88: Blacks are hardly ever nominated, talkless of winning. Halle Berry is the only Black woman to win Best Actress, and that was just in 2001. Either she's jealous or she's loony.

I think she is loony, that women has been known to have mental issues

[b]"[VOA] ABUJA, Nigeria – While some Nigerian politicians are talking about negotiating with Boko Haram, the military is preparing for battle with the militant group. Seventeen countries have signed on to help Nigeria increase security.

The Nigerian military is acquiring new boats and helicopters and is fixing up fighter jets. In a speech in Abuja, Minster of Defense Bello Haliru Mohammed said training and re-training military personnel is a top priority, considering the security threats in Nigeria.

The minister said Nigeria has signed military deals with 17 countries to help quell attacks blamed on the Islamist extremist group. The group is believed to have killed more than 1,000 people since it began violent operations in 2009, attacking churches, markets, schools, security forces, the local U.N. headquarters and newspaper offices.

Seeking new solutions

Wole Olaoye, a political analyst with Nigeria’s Leadership newspapers, said foreign assistance could allow Nigeria to benefit from lessons learned abroad. He said this kind of clandestine insurgency is new to Nigeria and while the government looks at security approaches and the possibility of negotiations, they also should be looking at new solutions and a greater reliance on technology.

Like many Nigerians, he makes a point of saying foreign assistance will not be welcomed if it threatens national sovereignty.

“I think that technology should be deployed there and it will help if those who were already on top of the situation in terms of technology offer advice, offer assistance. But if the cooperation is up to an extent where Nigeria will now play second fiddle to anybody – that I will not accept,” said Olaoye.

Sense of urgency

Other analysts also say the longer Boko Haram is able to carry out attacks, the more reason the world outside Nigeria has to be worried. Political columnist Idang Alibi said if the group continues to operate inside Nigeria, it could branch out like al-Qaida.

“If you allow a group like Boko Haram here it will become a base for the training of terrorists, they become more sophisticated and become a threat to other countries,” said Alibi.

Alibi said Nigeria also should be wary of military aid because he believes the Boko Haram threat is a result of social problems, like extreme poverty and unemployment in Nigeria’s mostly-Muslim north. He said foreign assistance should not bring more weapons into Nigeria, but help the country’s economy grow."[/b]

imjustsayin: OMG, I happened to read what someone said about black men being part of the reason black women resort to fake hair. Now I REALLY GOTTA to say something, and give away some rare male secrets, so ladies listen up closely while you can. Im a black man. In fact a very financially successful, handsome guy with an awsome personality and kind heart. Most women would say that I'm a "catch". (and I know that all sounds vain, but its to get a point accross, so read on). That being said,you should take the words from the horses mouth when I say we black men DO NOT like women with fake hair. Its disgusting, and shows a small minded, insecure mentality. The crazy part about it is that as gross and disgusting as it is, there are two types of men who actually do screw it up for all of the "fake hair wearing" women. The first guy is basically a loser. He is uneducated and not very smart, physically unattractive, not the best conversationist, and has low confidence as a man, but may actually have a good heart. The other is the complete opposite. He is the "dreamy" guy. He is very smart, educated, and can charm the pants off of most woman, but may or may not actually have a good heart. Both of them just want a pretty girl to have sex with, and neither wants a woman with fake hair. The difference is that the "dreamy" guy has options, so he doesnt want the girl for anything but sex, while the "loser" guy doesnt have options, so he has to take whatever he is given whenever he can, even if it comes with fake hair. They both see the same girl with fake hair and think the same thing... that its like taking candy from a baby. The fake hair is a dead giveaway. Its a huge sign that basically says "I'm completely insecure , and I am desperate for approval of a man, almost any man". When the guy sees this "flashing neon sign" on her head, he instantly knows just what to say to convince the girl to sleep with him because he now knows that she is looking for approval from others to validate herself. After he gets what he wants, you can bet that the "dreamy" guy will eventually find a way to get rid of her, while the "loser" guy wants to marry her and have kids, despite the fake hair, because he has limited options and thats the best that he can get. The problem with this scenario is that the "fake hair wearer" doesnt want the loser guy, and from this point on, thinks that the "dreamy" guys like women with fake hair. So, then you see her walking down the street, riding on the bus, or sitting in her car with what looks like a dead racoon strapped to her scalp, really thinking she is looking so so so good, and you can not convince her that men dont like that kind of thing because she has seen it first hand. Ladies, take it from me, fake hair is a complete deal breaker for the man that you really want.

Interesting, if that is the case then black men need to start appreciating black women with their hair more and maybe they will start seeing a change of attitude from black women but it is beyond that though, when it comes to the western world. However I don't think we should demonize women who wear weave though, it is part of the norm now particularly in the african american community, especially in the western world

[b]"The Think Like a Man and Jumping the Broom star exchanged vows with preacher and Columbia Pictures VP DeVon Franklin on Saturday evening at Triunfo Creek Winery in Malibu, Calif., PEOPLE has learned exclusively,” the magazine’s web site reports. “Among the 400 guests at the couple’s Spanish and bayou-themed wedding celebration: Tracey Edmonds, Derek Luke, Deion Sanders and Tasha Smith.”

Good also described her ceremony as a “dreamy,” romantic sunset wedding with an antique feel to People — an account that was reprinted in many outlets fascinated with the union of these gorgeous African-American luminaries.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that, “The actress wore a custom R-Mine gown with a purple-dipped train and sported jewels by Jason the Jeweler. She walked down the aisle to ‘These Arms.’ The ceremony was accented with purple roses, tulips and rustic gold and guests enjoyed a Southern Girl Desserts cake with flavors including sweet potato, banana cream pie and peach cobbler.”

“Actress Meagan Good, 30, star of Jumping the Broom and the blockbuster Think Like a Man, married over the weekend in Malibu. Good wed DeVon Franklin, 34, a film executive who she met on the set of Jumping the Broom in 2009, which he co-produced. The lovely black Hollywood power couple “jumped the broom” in real life after a two-year courtship.
And just a day after their nuptials Franklin, who started his career as an intern for Will Smith, appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul Sunday,” celebrity watching outlet Radar online relates.

From theGrio: Hollywood producer DeVon Franklin talks new book, strong faith

During their engagement both took a vow of celibacy until marriage. Good also stated in a recent interview that their first time together be on their marriage night. The couple is now enjoying a brief honeymoon in Big Sur, and is expected to take a longer break together after Good finishes filming her new NBC series, Infamous.

“DeVon makes me better, makes my life fuller, and completes my quality of life. He’s truly on my team and I am truly on his. God revealed my heart to him like nobody else,” Good has said about her new husband.

Franklin added, “I’ve never had more peace, fun, and joy than I’ve had with her.”[/b]

Women look beautiful with makeups, that's a fact. And there are some that are naturally beautiful too, although you can find that naturally beautiful girl in 1 out of 100,000,000 of them . Anyways What am here to discuss today is that there are some side effects from these products used to beautify the body as it is clearly shown on sexy pop diva,Susan Abimbola Filani-Harvey a.k.a Goldie face at the Big brother star reality game show(above)
Because of the marketing power from the advertising media, Women are seduced into using makeup as teens. It affects their body's ever changing chemistry and becomes a vicious, self destructive, self loathing cycle that ends up making some of them look old and ugly on the inside and out.
It can be compared to using synthetic oil in your car, once you start you can never stop or it will ruin your engine. Maybe am wrong, But there are pictures from the reality tv show that backs up my theory above.

Everything you said is sadly correct, make up messes up the skin and beauty if used excessively or extremely, especially starting a young age particularly in the teenage years. From scarring, pimples, damage skin and etc; and as a result it causes permanent damage that even after seeing a dermatologist, it at times doesn't help because the damage has been done. I know some friends that depended on make up so much every day that it later caused damage to their skin, that they had no choice to put make up on their face just to cover the damage they in directly put upon themselves. As for me I only put it on for special occasions like a wedding or party, besides that no make up, for work I just wear a nice lip gloss and take care of my face and I have no regrets. However At the same time there are some females out there that can do without make up due to their job so I feel those females are the ones who should take extra care like washing their face immediately after use. Some females don't know after use that they should wash, cleanse and moisturize the face and drink healthy drinks to detoxify.

any way that picture is sad, she is not as pretty as I thought.
