carpdiemz: That’s the standard when the whites stayed in a black man county for sometimes , awolowo and azkiwe did is Evil , we were not matured for the independent they did for there own selfish interest and for there family future
XhosaNostra: Hihihi. That's what you're missing about them? Hats are to some guys what wigs & makeup are to girls. They hide a lot of shame & make someone cute in an instant
Not really,but it surely was one of the perks of rocking a Kangol .hmm like guys with receding hairlines?
XhosaNostra: Funny enough I used to wear those Kangol hats because my mom was worrywart & liked to fuss about sunburn. I never went out without a hat in childhood Mine was tan/beige. I watch my sister & she's exactly the same with her kids. Raising hypochondriacs because she's always fussing lol.
My favourite style though was the dungarees/delela & imbadada
LOL the legacy lives on.There was something about Kangol hats that made girls throw themselves at guys who owned them
The delelas are back but I don't even dream of buying one today.
They are racist & there's an overrepresentation of old white colonial & apartheid figures (in prominent locations) in a majority black country. That's offensive.
U might have noticed I didn't post many of those colonial statues even though they are everywhere in SA.
Valid points made.I can't add or take anything from what you just said.
XhosaNostra: Ofcourse I still remember them, but the one that stands out the most for me are corduroy pants! I had them in different colours. LMAO. Have a childhood photo wearing bottle green corduroys, they were considered highly fashionable in green
Corduroys were the worst but you'd appreciate them during winter because they were warm.I only had one that came in brown colour.
What's your favourite 90's style? for me it's those Kangol hats and denim jackets.I would rock them today if they returned.
XhosaNostra: The 80s, they had terrible fashion sense. Thank God I was too young to remember the horror of mothers with shoulder pads, looking like quarterbacks
Yooh not to mention the high waist pants that reach up to the breastbone.lol @ quarterbacks.The 90's too had some horrible designs tho,do you still remember those oversized FUBU t-shirts?
MRcocaFanta: No offense to south Africans, if not for the rampant HIV virus, i would have loved to really party hard in South Africa for like one month but the thing is that I'm scared.
Perhaps I've got nothing to worry about and I'm just over reacting but really, i want to always go to south AFRICA just to relax for about a week every two or three months.
With Nigeria having more babies born with HIV than anywhere else in the world we think by now you'd figured out how HIV is contracted.But it's okay cos you are obviously trolling.
XhosaNostra: Lol, you just aged the man. What if he was young throughout the 80s? Thina bantu be 80s, s'phaphame nge 90s. The best decade. Kungfu era etc. He probably had Cynthia Rothrock or the Spice girls on his wall
I know lol.I have a brother who was born in 87 (probably your mate ) and he doesn't have even a single memory of the 80's .Spice Girls is the one that had Mel B? damn she was hot
TMKsouth: LOL... I did figure u were pretty young. Let me just hate the damn song in peace please.
If you are one of the the ama2000 that listens to "skrrr skrrr" music that annoys adults like us then your right of hating on such a classic has been revoked ...NEVER!!
TMKsouth: Geez dude, like how old are u? ... Sorry but I hate Weekend Special with a passion. It's like the go-to Brenda song for the over50s & seriously overrated.
Please try convincing me.
I'm a product of the 90's .Man you lie,the production on that song is so clean you'd think it was made in 2002 .Actually I think Vulindlela is the one that's overrated.
IronGalaxy: well, if you had white people as neighbours, colleagues, classmates or even friends, you wouldn't put them on the pedestal like you Nigerians usually do. You would see the I'm as fellow human beings not as gods
He wouldn't understand.The white man is still a spectacle to behold and take photographs in Nigeria.These people live in the 1600s lol.
XhosaNostra: Meh. You should teach the dummies to spell too, at least. Nothing makes a woman who's passed grade 4, dry up more than a dyslexic playa wannabe.
