[quote author=k.o.n.y link=topic=670595.msg8350148#msg8350148 date=1305781611]Dont punk out now. Africans feel like they out do black americans. So africans, put your money where your mouth is Simply, black americans hold it down for people of african descent worldwide. Without us where would black people be. Riddle me this, riddle me that. Real talk Africans dont have a mlk,michael jackson,michael jordan,oprah.tiger woods etc Ya have no clout whatsoever to talk bad about black americans. What a joke And theres more black americans going to college than africans in africa or america. Feel me[/quote]Lmaaaaaooooooo, sweetie your a complete joke. Get over yourself. No one is punking out. I gave you a straight forward answer, so either follow that or disregard it. You weren't getting the conflict and drama you wanted to see so you decided to pipe up and create another thread huh? I called you out on your bull crap so why are you gettin' all bent out of shape? Oya, good for you. Keep at it. Since you've come to this site, all your post have been about the same thing. Look, if you want to start some pro-akata revolution, go start your own site or something. |
htajz:lol, follow MzDarkSkin's answer ![]() |
emofine:It wasn't obvious to me which is why I asked ![]() |
@OP: Lmaaaaaoooo, I can you that you enjoying trolling around Nairaland creating topics like this. You sound like you want us to bow down and kiss your aṡṡ.If you want an answer, go back to that yeye thread you created where everyone was arguing then you'll find and answer to you wor wor question. |
emofine:Smh, I go pity am well well and I go laugh well well. Nonsense!!! |
@OP: Preach my sista!!! |
Your post is by far one of the most ignorant post I've ever seen from a guy pertaining to women's hair. Do before weaves were created, were women not wearing their hair beautifully? Did it not occur to you that perhaps she doesn't keep her hair tidy underneath the weave? Is she a representation for all Nigerian women? Why is it that you feel the need to reference only Nigerian women? Are there not women of other nationalities who's hair is unkempt underneath their weave? Although you didn't mention "race" or ethnicity, I'm still gonna ask you, have you never seen women other ethnic groups with damaged or unkempt hair under their weave. I don't understand why some of you idiotic men on Nairaland feel the need to constantly bash your sisters. Instead of uplifting them, some you you seem to take pride and joy in trying to bring them down. There are sooooo many things that some men Nigerian men do yet you don't see us opening threads left and right to bash you all. Its not like anything you said was constructive criticisms, it was just comes across as a another way for some of you to bash. It's sad because some of you even have the gall to ask why some of your sisters have turned to other nationalities and ethnicities. |
pleep:LOL ![]() DaRapture:Lmao, I guess some people should have kept the receipt to their Hooked on Phonics material ![]() Rgp92:That's not gonna solve anything. Just as violence begets violence, racism begets racism. You'd only be contributing to the cycle of racial abuse by this that way. |
[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=665782.msg8335376#msg8335376 date=1305598101]Great post. But I have to disagree with the comment that Black men are not the ones championing a return to natural beauty for black women. I'm sure you know it takes all sorts of people to make the world go round. If you read this site often, you'll see a deluge of posts from some very vocal men complaining about the only types of women they meet being gold-diggers or what-not; conversely, there are lots of posts from some women trashing Nigerian men. While the sensible people of both gender know that you attract the company you keep. Even before the fake weave was a common sight, my Nigerian grandfather was warning his daughters about using straightening combs and the dangers of putting relaxer in our hair. He'd say, just imagine something that burns your scalp so much, after dozens and hundreds of times subjecting yourself to that, what it could be doing to the organ directly beneath your scalp. I've seen other articles written about the health risks of hair relaxers, but I'll leave it out since it's a little removed from the crux of this thread. Following on the older generation's warnings, most of the people that express incredulity at the fakeness of popular hairstyles and the prevailing beauty culture of black women, are black men. For every one black woman that expresses a desire to, or that does, maintain a natural look, you will find 10 black men that have said same - from siblings to friends to co-workers to in-laws. I really cannot blame the men for this trend. You must bear in mind that, because the "celebrities" maintain a certain look and men are salivating over them does not mean they prefer that for their mates. After all, they're really attracted to more than just the hair. P.S. Addressing other posters, I don't subscribe to the viewpoint that the style (always) shows low self-esteem or a desire to be white. Rather, it is just the way things are. And most girls don't question or challenge it until they are older and wiser.[/quote]Although I do agree that there are people of all sorts, I must admit based on my experience and what I've heard both from people I know and don't know [random natural hair women I meet], it seems like men of other ethnic groups seem to appreciate natural hair more than black men. Jiah011:It's true, especially up here in the North East. I noticed tons of girls doing the big chop and going natural. There's a natural hair blog I frequent and in one of the old posts, I remember there were African Americans and Africans talking about natural hair and a lot of the African Americans said they thought that African women were generally natural. |
Sweetnecta:Thanks for the info. Hmmmm, passed I wouldn't be surprised if I've run into them before. My former high school is along Atlantic so I used to talk to some of the merchants in the stored in the area ![]() |
chinedumo:I don't blame omega25red for answering as he did minus the last sentence ![]() There are a lot of homophobic [and hypocritical] comments here on Nairaland ![]() chinedumo:Ask am o!! ifele:Just as chinedumo said, we should kill the rest of all sinners abi? I'm quite sure you've sinned yourself so bring your head to the chopping block since you seem to like possessing a holier than though mentality. Last time I checked, sin was sin. No one sin is greater or lesser than another. No human is immune to sin, please keep that in mind. chinedumo:Just wondering, are you implying that when woman or man dresses a certain way, their bringing it upon themselves to be rȧped? ![]() |
Eh ya, OP which ethnic group are you from? |
@kanddikane: Thank you for responding to 10cirenoh as you've done. You pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. I would have responded earlier but I've been in school all day. More than half the things the things he said make absolutely no sense at all. |

Donlittle:lol, I suppose you've never heard of typos huh? ![]() It was a simple mistake but like I said before, I see that your enjoying it so if your comments make you feel good then more power to ya ![]() |
Donlittle:Smh, immaturity at the highest level. I can see that you're enjoying yourself with all your ramblings ![]() Please stop derailing the thread with monotonous commentary ![]() By the way, I noticed how you conveniently ignored the fact that I pointed out to you that others mentioned things no different than what I mentioned ![]() |
Donlittle:Sweetie, get over yourself--seriously. If you don't like what I have to say then ignore it and keep it movin'. I didn't see you complain when isale_gan2 mentioned hair care in the south east of the US so please take your nonsense elsewhere. I wasn't the only person that mentioned things that consisted of hair care outside of Nigeria. Do me a favor and get your eyes checked instead of having bitċh fits on Nairaland. Besides, just like other people, I was giving examples--anyone with half a brain can see that--unless you don't have half a brain? This is a public forum so I will reply however the hell I want to and whenever the hell I want to. If you like, ṡhit your pants because you don't like the fact that I responded. If that makes you feel better then good for you. |
[quote author=k.o.n.y link=topic=645423.msg8328579#msg8328579 date=1305521590]i wasnt trying to stir anything up or divide anything. Its a legitimate question. I've literally seen the worst racism ever from east africans about west africans, on the net. The racism was way more intense than the whitest skin head kkk member. It led me to believe that there was some kind of rift between east and west.Its so bad somalis have specific racist words and phrases for west africans And to abu, whats wrong with AA's[/quote]Well I think rabzy has given you the most logical answer. If that doesn't satisfy you, then I really don't know what to tell you. And for the record, yes Somali's may say some racist things [just as any other people of a particular nationality or ethnicity] but I doubt that the racism is worse than that of skin heard or KKK members. I've seen the things that go on in those KKK related forums and what some Somali's say is nothing compared to them. Besides, what ethnic group or nationality doesn't have some kind of name or phrase used to refer to someone else. |
kandiikane:Yes o!!! Preach my African sista!!! [quote author=!rejoice link=topic=665782.msg8326989#msg8326989 date=1305492149]2010Idowu (f) Just as soon as a woman goes natural, her man is Shocked at the woman with fake hair down her back. T[b]he better thing is to learn to love unconditionally, as we women do[/b], and save yourselves a heart attack of worrying about things that don't concern you. --------------------------------- - Laughter wan kill me o![/quote]lol ![]() kandiikane:Ok, gotcha ![]() [quote author=Natasha,, link=topic=665782.msg8327281#msg8327281 date=1305495109] this thread contains a lot of hypocrites me I just wonder why God gave us this kain strong stiff hair [/quote]Well, based on what I've learn about hair, our hair is the way it is so we could withstand the climate of Africa.10cirenoh:Learn?! Lean?! You mean the same way some of you supposed men need to learn to be so flashy flashy with fake designer clothes and bling?! Ummm newsflash, because some like to adorn their hair with weave doesn't mean that we all do. The same way you claim women "disappoint" men is the same way men disappoint women. Sometimes, there are certain things that just aren't about you. All this fakness that you keep saying women posses is no different from what men. Men just do it in a slightly different manner. For example, here in New York I noticed a HUGE increase in the number of young black men sportin' beards. Most of the guys I've seen wearing these beards are into the hips hop/semi-hipster scene. In the 70's when afros became popular, did men not jump on that band wagon? Here's another example, there been this new supposed trend natural among some young black women. I noticed it over a year ago ago and its been growing ever since. I went to my school's cafeteria to buy a drink one afternoon and when I went to the register to pay for my drink, the cashier asked me why a lot of black girls were cutting their hair all of a sudden and going natural. You can voice your opinions and views on what you don't like but that doesn't mean that she has to do what you say. Just because a person chooses to wear in a particular manner doesn't necessarily mean that they're following a particular trend. |
ThiefOfHearts:Yes indeed. I personally hate weaves but some of the comments here are just plain idiotic. [quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=665782.msg8325954#msg8325954 date=1305477930]In the SE USA, if you frequent professional hairstylists every 6 weeks, which is the recommended time for relaxing hair, and go for in-between treatments/wash and style/regular trims or cuts, the monthly cost would be a range of $80-150. I based it on my cost when I used to have a professional hairstylist perm or curl my hair. The relax/perm/cold wave treatment was approx $75, plus optional: trim/cut of $25, haircolor or tint $30, wash and set/style $40, eyebrow wax $15, conditioning treatment $15, etc. (Professional braids and weaves range $100-300+, but a typical style done by a mid-level private hairbraider working out of her home runs $75-150.) Yes, hairstylists can make a fortune. lol. For those wanting to go natural, the only way to do it is to NEVER go into a salon ever again. Many a time, after foregoing chemicals and letting my hair grow out, I'd go into a salon asking for a texturizer treatment and walk out with another FRIED hairstyle. And, if you ask for stylish braids, almost all of them will braid your hair with synthetic hair, plus you'll get a load of "it is sooooo much easier to braid hair that is permed; can we at least use a hot (straightening) comb on your hair." lol. Leading to more breakage, meaning, you're back where you started. No wonder you don't see many black women with long hair. The logical step in the journey of reclaiming the my state was to start with braiding (without synthetics) just the natural hair, watch it grow and treat it with conditioners and coconut oil, cutting the split ends often. Once it gets to the desired length, I hope to alternate between the braids and an afro. Hello! I've always wanted a dangerous afro like I see in 70s pictures. Dreadlocks was another look that I like a lot but I decided against.[/quote]Wow, you guys play a lot of money for braids in the south east. When I used to get my hair braided, it only cost me $99--for my sister who relaxers her hair, it costs only $45.You know, I don't necessarily agree with the idea of not going to a salon. You just need to find a salon that specializes in natural hair. There are tons of them here in New York. In fact, there are several that are within walking distance of my school. I've been natural most of my life. . . Just a few months ago, I cut my hair and started from scratch again just for the fun of it. The only time I go to a salon is to trim my hair. Aside from that, I can style and care for my hair. When it gets a bit longer, I'll go to a salon to get it braided since I can't really braid my own hair. I do agree though, some of these so called hair stylists always seem to have a bitċh fit when you walk into salon and ask them to style your natural hair. I remember a couple of years ago when I went to a Dominican salon not too far from my house and the idiȯts there fried my hair and constantly complained in Spanish about my hair being hard to style [which it wasn't]. There was an article on Clutch magazine about Dominican hair salons discriminating against natural hair >>> http://cocoandcreme.com/2011/05/do-dominican-salons-discriminate-against-natural-hair/ 10cirenoh:I am not a fan of weaves and no offense but who are you to tell her what she what she should or shouldn't do with her hair? ![]() kandiikane:Yes indeed, I used to have should length natural hair up until I cut it last November ![]() There's a Nigerian girl on Youtube who has long beautiful natural hair. Here's her Youtube channel >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEj5E3_swBY Another Nigerian with natural hair is a girl on Fotki that goes by the name of Hamira. Here'e the link to her fotki page >>> http://members.fotki.com/Delushious/about/ And there's another Nigerian girl with long natural hair down to her butt. Her name is Ayo [not the singer] but I can't remember the link to her Fotki page. Her hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! kandiikane:I totally agree. The only reason people think Africans can't grow their hair long is because they've allowed themselves to be stupidly brainwashed by all of the garbage that is used to portray Africans in a negative light. I go to natural hair meet up groups here in Brooklyn and I run into TONS of West African women who have really long and healthy hair natural hair. By the way, "Black"/ "African" hair isn't as weak as most people think it is |
