[quote author=Mr--Why link=topic=802909.msg9612761#msg9612761 date=1322012323]I am not trying to judge anybody. They may come off as supposedly elegant in appearance but when they open their mouth and talk, you will be able to see through that.  Business happens to take me far and wide. And have come across different kinds of women including foreign ones.  Our girls can do much better instead of laying too much emphasis on those shallow things. Nevertheless, we still have few that can stand the game cool.[/quote]I get what you mean. I wish I could see more women in fields that were traditionally considered male dominated. With time, you'll see more of us--trust me! lol, and I know what you mean about people looking nice on the outside then you come to find out that there's nothing but air in their heads. I've had my fair share of meeting such individuals. grin

^^^^I know, but she would be a second generation French national, right? Is she not French? I also used to go to a site called 'Make Fetch Happen', which featured a lot of black models, but the site owner had a baby, so she stopped blogging. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the thread. I'll keep updating grin SO EXCITED!!!!!
She was born in France but her parents are from one of the Portugese speaking African countries. So technically speaking, she is French by nationality. I'll check out the site you mentioned. I love models. Some of the pics you've posted, I've seen some of those girls in person. They're all GORGEOUS!!

zolzlolz:
Personally, I'm not completely taken by Liya. She's very beautiful, yes she's definitely got beauty in the bag( and I want to know what she does to her skin, it's always glowing), but after looking at her many times she seems kinda plain. I'm bored with her now. And she's really skinny, like seriously skinny, I don't know why they put her on Victoria's Secret undecided But every time I see the following model, it's like I'm seeing her for the first time. She's gorgeous, fierce, from Somalia. Welcome YASMIN WARSAME!!!!!!!
OMG!!! You're my fashion sista!! Where have you been hiding this whole time?!?! cheesy
I like Liya and Yasmin. They're both beautiful. Did you know that Yasmin once did a major show while she was 5 months pregnant?!?! She wasn't even showing!

zolzlolz:
OMG, I love the shape of her eyes and I love her lips. I love her, because we have the same skin tone (but I'm not as beautiful) and I learnt how to buy the right shades of lipstick by looking at the lipstick she had on. Doesn't she bear a resemblance to Sophia Loren?
Yes, slightly cheesy

I did say "jokes" didn't I?  kiss tongue

I knew I was gonna get one of you riled up eventually.

But anyway, the stats are the facts, we have and have always had more tech capable males than females.
And it's because (by default) one was built better for one thing and another for another. In all things, there are always exceptions however.

But not every woman can be an exception, lest it becomes a rule. and that is sooo not the case today as we see it.  grin
So Accept nature's stats,be  honest-with-reality and you'll be a happier person.  tongue

And we're talking about [b]programming [/b]not politics or whatever. Totally different subject.
One is built better than the other eh? So you were built to program computers and women were bult to do what, make babies? tongue

Princek12:
Women's brains are not created to be logical; they are created to be emotional. That is why many women don't fare well in computer science and engineering. They fare well with being counselors and other careers that requires less of a logical mind.
Excuse me? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Who said women don't fare well in computer science?

[quote author=Mr--Why link=topic=802909.msg9606191#msg9606191 date=1321937919]Talk about mis-placed priorities my guy. I sit in my guy's shops in Wuse market, Abuja, and observe some of this "modern day" naija babes perambulate with all the latest different brands of you what, off hand. And I wonder, that if one/fourth of that brain is at least used for something more critical, it would radiate their inner beauty more instead of all that artificial stuff they worship to appear beautiful.[/quote]Hmmm, how do you know those girls your looking at aren't smart? You're just judging them by their outer appearance undecided

Personally, I like to look nice just as much as the next person but it doesn't mean I don't have a brain. Looking at me, no one would assume that I'm really into sports and graphic design. Appearances aren't all they're cracked up to be. I know looks often times dictate our first impressions of people but don't be so quick to judge.

[quote author=Mr--Why link=topic=802909.msg9606191#msg9606191 date=1321937919]@Inked_Nerd

You may be one in a billion. In fact I have been looking around for your type to hang out with to no avail. I am not trying to bash Naija girls. But this generation of our girls can be very shallow and superficial.  I admire challenging women including overtly technical ones. There is something appealing and romantic about them in the geek sense of the word.  Just that it is hard to come by. 

The first programmer was a woman named Ada. A very beautiful one indeed. I believe a woman can do anything.[/quote]lol, I'm not one in a million. Trust me, there are loads of us. There are lots of them at my school. Generally, I've noticed that there are more of them outside of Nigeria than in Nigeria. Here's something you might not have considered, did you ever think that a lot of the Nigerian born programmers have sought greener pastures elsewhere and that's why you may not be seeing to many of them in Nigeria? Just a thought wink

I remember when I was younger, there was some girl my mom kept trying to force me to get to know. At the time, I was just a kid but when I got older, I later realized that the girl was a computer engineer. She [my mom] was hoping that the girls' work ethic and drive would rub off on me grin

orobos dey vex but fact is you can't call a lady ugly because she is skinny. There are a lot of ladies out there who despite being pretty (facially) are still not appealing sexually but nobody says they are ugly.

Let's be fair and just.

It's like when dark-skin ladies get defensive when someone expresses a preference for a lighter-skinned counterpart. They are automatically implying dark is ugly with their choice.

I'm sorry but this inferiority complex must stop. Beauty is more than your body structure, your complexion or your big nose. grin
Don't be sorry, its true!

For me it has nothing to do with not liking Mo' Cheddah's "light skin". Chika Emmanual is a model. She won Elite's Model Search competition last year. I personally like her look. Generally, I like models anyway grin

Hi everyone.

Looking around the world, you find very few females wandering into a career in computer science( and computer programming). Bringing it home, I've looked in this (programming) forum and don't seem to find any females responding to threads and posts. This makes me ask:
 1. Do we have female programmers here at all?
 2. Where you live or work you, do know any hacker/geek chics around (that are atleast averagely good)?

Just something I thought about.

Cheers
Yes, there are female programers. I do programming but I can't really say I'm a fan of it. It's part of my course study so I have to learn how to do it. When I have to do it for a class assignment then it bores me a bit but if its on my own time then I don't have an issue with it. My sister is pretty good on the other hand! Due to certain perceptions of Nigerian women, the number of women in this field is less than that of our male counterparts. Sadly, a lot of people don't expect Nigerian women to actually have a brain so when a woman is in a field that is traditionally male dominated, people tend to be surprised. Another thing is that as a society, I personally think women are at times discouraged from participating in certain fields. Its like when I play rugby, people who are Nigerian tend to give me the side eye when I tell them undecided

So to answer your question, 1) yes there are female programmers and 2) I live in New York and yes I do know someone who is a hacker but none who are women.

2buff:
Woman get dat kind brain?  grin

You'll notice that, unless she's special, women tend to shy away from the overly technical.
It's nothing to be ashamed of or take offence over really. Women are just mentally wired differently than men and with programming, it's all about the mental wiring.
Excuse me? angry

[quote author=Mr--Why link=topic=802909.msg9605095#msg9605095 date=1321917529]Naija girls tend to shy away from technical stuff and even things that stimulate the brain; say in depth social and political discussions.

What they fail to grasp is that, there is something deeply romantic and sophisticated about a geek chick or a girl that is quite informed.[/quote]C'mon, who says Nigerian girls don't like these kind of things? I like politics and social discussions! Did it ever occur to some of you guys that because some of you all tend to assume we don't like things like politics, we don't talk to you guys about it? undecided

Don't forget the fact that she is wearing a weave. You know how weave dominates in Africa. You can see a woman wearing the rattiest weave in the world but because for whatever reason, we seem to cling onto notions of western beauty, they would say she looks good. I've seen women with beautiful natural/bald looks before and have overheard Nigerian men [and other Africans] saying the women don't look good because they don't have a weave on their heads tongue

CelebritiesRe: Nigerian Artistes Are Not Stylish And Charismatic? by InkedNerd(f): 4:55pm On Nov 21, 2011
ogugua88:
There's only one artist that has style (in my opinion). Tiwa Savage. She's very simple, yet sophisticated. She's not like the rest who are trying to look like Lady Gaga or Ke$ha. As for the guys, for some of them it's Russian winter 24/7 in Naija. They wear sweaters, puffer jackets, scarfs, a lot of excess, and it isn't needed. Sometimes less is more.
I totally agree. I like Tiwa as well. The way she carries herself compared to those other "celebrities" is great! Another person I like, is Oluchi Onweagba. I don'ty know if she can be considered a Nigerian celebrity. I don't really see her as one, because she's a lot more internationally known than others in Nigeria. Agbani Darego is another one too!

DaRapture:
Yeah, they all are a bunch of AA and or Jamo Mimics, and most don't even do that too well. I'd be embarrassed if I were Nigerian.
Don't worry, I've got enough embarrassment to go around for everyne tongue

Parisgoodman:
If you ask me i will say yes! They are not stylish neither charismatic. It is hard for a Nigerian to see an artist and ask for autograph or even take pix with 'em, even paparazzi is very far from them and i belive this is attributed 2 their(artiste) unstylish way of life, dressing, etc. This is not about Nigerians dont value what they have, they should impress us(not puffy i mean) and show us what they'v got! U are free to be against or for the motion.
You're very much correct in this belief. A lot of them have horrible and I mean HORRIBLE PR people and in some cases, some of them don't have any at all! They don't know how to carry themselves. They give off too much attitude, sound very full of themselves, and don't know how to be humble about themslves. I saw one interview with some Nigerian acctress over a year ago, and the way she was speaking and the hand gestures she was making just made her look like a complete fool! It was so obvious that she was trying to sound like she an American accress but the fact that she was trying so hard, the way she was speaking and moving her hands, I couldn't help but laugh at her. I didn't know if I should have felt sorry for her or sorry for us Nigerians. Pathetic! They spend so much time trying to show they world their fake lives in those those bootleg Nigerian tabloid websites and magazines, if they invested the same amount of money and time into ACTUAL acting classes and PR people, they would be looking as fooloish as they always are!
