No one is criticizing Ghana because they picked a half-white chick to represent them. What we are saying is that the sole purpose for picking her is because she is half-white, not because she happened to be a half-white chick who met the other requisites.

Look at the following:

She has no real ties with Ghana

She contested in the Miss USA pageant with an intent to represent the USA; when she lost, she now competed in the Miss Ghana pageant in an attempt to keep her Miss Universe hopes alive. It worked, thanks to inferiority complex Ghanaians.

She was not born in Ghana nor had she lived there. She just went to Ghana to compete. It is pure lunacy for her to have been picked.

you're getting yourself worked up over nothing. my original post was not directed at you. i did not quote anything you said. infact i don't know what your exact comment was. it was directed at "you people" who were turning the thread into a ghana bashing thread. OP included.  if the cap doesn't fit you, that's okay. sit on the sidelines and enjoy the show. no need to jump in if you say it's not your fight. why are you getting worked up

shesi:
^^^ I did read the whole thread before commenting. maybe you should go back and read. the OP was the first to pick on the ghana contestant. WHY? Miss mauritius is whiter than the ghana girl.

and why didn't you apply the same due diligence to investigating the backgrounds of the other contestants? why did you feel the need to check into her background specifically? she is not the lightest looking girl there is she? is she the only one who looks mixed? she is not even that beautiful so why focus on her?

So what if was not raised in Ghana? does her representing Ghana means we have inferiority complex? Osaze Odemwingie plays for the Nigerian football team. He was born and raised in Russia and never lived in Nigeria before he started playing for Nigeria. Is that a case of inferiority complex then? I could give you more examples.

My point is, when discussing Ghana, the tone is often one of bitterness, resentfulness and hints of jealousy. How did a thread on African contestants at miss universe turn to a ghana bashing thread?

shesi:
when will you people jump off ghana's dyyck. haven't you had enough?

every week there is one thread here obsessing about ghanaians. they are this, they are that. ANY topic with "ghana" in the title makes the homepage.
the other day, one topic (about ghana fans coming to the cancelled ghana nigeria game) repeated 3 times on the homepage.

obsessed much?

you post a topic with similar looking girls and single out the ghana girl for criticism.

they say we have inferiority complex? and then they go on to pick miss egypt and miss botswana as their favorite? look at your own miss naija, is she dark skinned? ask the average nigeria guy to list his preferred features in a woman and 70% will have light skinned in their list.

and yet, you overlook all these and scream ghanaians have inferiority complex at every opportunity? how? show me a list of how we have inferiority complex and i will pick 3 more examples in nigerian culture for you.

this is expected though. as the saying goes, the higher you climb, the more you expose yourself to scrutiny. BUT THAT'S NO REASON TO STOP CLIMBING. So keep hating. we'll keep it moving. UP!

ms nigeria looks like a pig

Toaskarity:
i dont see any hatred in his/her post, he is exposing africa inferiority towards itself,
you say nigerians talk about GHana Ghana everytime but thats big lie, since there is this case of homo in ghana, i havent seen it here but go to ghanaweb they are the first to post this same topic (about sexiest accent) and start commenting negatively about it! making mockery of how we are proud to be 5th, is there any week that there wont be any thread  about bashing naija in your site even things wey no concern nigeria there must be a way to connect it,  and you talking about hatred? who hates who? even nigeria win big brother your thread start complaining about patiality! who hates who? you call chinua achebe and soyinka scammers, now who hates who?
abeg talk about the issue at hand and stop draging nigeria backward to make issue with una just like your singers who talk rubbish about naija as if ghana is is heaven!

Let thunder strike you immediately wherever you are! you . what is wrong with being black like charcoal? If you see 100 Ghanaians, at least 80 will be very black. So what? Being black like charcoal is beautiful. How many light-skinned Kofis and Mensahs do you have? That is why your countryfolks picked a half-white girl to who tried to represent the USA to represent your country.

Instead of you to weep, you are directing your angst at me. I hope you get violated by a HIV patient. God punish you.

If you are not suffering from reading comprehension, you will understand that my issue is that the people who selected her to represent Ghana did so just because she is half-white, as she had not no strong ties w Ghana and had tried to represent the USA-- because she lost out on the USA spot, she used Ghana as her rebound country.

^^^ your papa, your moda and your papa again for tht comment, all u people know is GHANA GHANA GHANA, why don't y'all talk abt the other African reps
this shows how y'all hate Ghanaians, inferiority complex my nyansh.

10 over 10 shikena   

this comment shows how dumb u are

charcoal! and what are u? as white as snow huh!

Princek12:
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.

You guys are saying these because u are just looking at it from only a personal decision and concern. But have u ask what damages it causes in the society? Pls dont mix western civilization with Nigeria cultures. Indecent dressing is one of the reason for rap.e. Dont think it is only those that are too religious can talk about what is morally wrong. When u see a prostitut.e on the road what gave u the impression she is a prostitut.e? Her dressing of course. Trousers is never indecent if it doesnt bring out your real skin our or probably allows your butt to shake like bubbles. My sisters wear trousers but not the one that can make them look like prostitut.es. Pls I am not claiming holy man but I am saying what is morally wrong. Besides many schools in Nigeria are against indecent dressing.

Yield:
Why're they upset? Because she's mixed and not 100% Ghanaian, and light-skinned too?

deadie:
Law against indecent dressing? This is the kind of topic raised and supported either by religious nut jobs or borderline i.diots. Here is why. What will you define as 'indecent' dressing and where will you blur the line? I read that the governor of Plateau state banned wearing trousers in government institutions, do you consider trousers to be indecent? What you consider 'decent' in Lagos will probably get you flogged in Sokoto. An adult woman is old enough to decide what to wear and does not need someone else to make that decision for her, it is HER body. A Nigerian public official went to the UN to promote this idea and was humbled by a speaker from Jamaica. This is the kind of thing that occupy people who does not have better things to invest their time in.

Yield:
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.

Inked na me u dey rap for? . Cmon lady your are getting it all wrong I thought you are in support of those that go with indecent dressing as a go ahead thing. I dont have a personal issue with u or anyone on this, but trying to call the bottom of a pot black when it is black. You better smile off your sad face.

xynerise:
@inked. That is the voice of a pagan. I believe neither of the two major religion support indecent dressing. What you wear shows who you are. A true christian or muslim cannot wear what will expose his/her butt or bosom in public. Use your head woman. Dont support what doesnt worth supporting. You cant tell me you will allow your mature children to walk the street in such dressing. Dont act like a civilized woman cos you are not 1% near it. Lets be rational about this pls.

What i find appalling, like i said in my post is the wrong mind set some people have against those, especially male stylists.

uzoo:
a long time ago  i had my weave  on extensions removed by this girl in the salon, and as soon as she took out the last row she used the razor blade and cut the the end of the braids of the corn rows ,i screamed ( that's my hair !!)  and she said no  it wasn't , that it was the attachment added to my real hair in weaving my hair to place the weave on. i almost slapped her.

my hair is very long with lots of volume ( very full) that i don't bother using attachments when weaving corn rows for weave on . and this was what i was trying to tell hair and she kept arguing with me , i had to cut my hair to allow the chopped off area to grow equally with the rest.
