cool!
but natural hair is hard n expensive to maintain

Its not trust me its just that we dont want to explore it, imagine the industry that could be built on indigenous promotion of beauty. It is no coincidence that most of the beaity products being pawned in Naija is product or controlled by Oyinbo, Chinese or Lebanese

sinizia:
Lame reply. I never expected anything coherent from you anyways. And for your info, I'm a guy but won't let you denigrate the females for no cogent reasons, or for the same reasons men are guilty of.

Bros, it's easy for you to judge. Try and keep your hair like an African woman, but don't relax or apply foreign creams on your hair to make it soft. Then come back here and testify how it's EASY for you to groom and COMB it.

The most misunderstood words in NLand; Coherent and illiterate. Once you say a person is not the former or is the latter does not make it true. But hey, you were implying that weave is favorable to the black woman or else what you said earlier wasn't coherent.

And I have kept and Afro in the past with out relaxer and it looked really good. My sisters and mother haven't touched relaxer in years since they realized how stupi.d it was all have lovely natural hair and look beautiful. The trick is coconut oil or Shea Butter something our ancestors knew in the past but was lost when white people came and told us that we look better with relaxer and weave.

Errrrr What are you implying here what are those things that favour women.. I don catch am

sinizia:
Stop being a hypocrite!! He who wants equity must come with clean hands. You can't choose the Western acts that favours you, and condemn the acts that favours the women.

sinizia:
Err, where did I say I viewed weaves as "favorable"? Are you suffering from poor eyesight? (No pun intended). I don't know about you or the mothers you are talking about, but my sister rocks both weaves and her natural hair when she wants. So I don't even get what you are trying to type. And you can't judge Europe with Naija. Over here, girls don't get abused for wearing their natural hair. Take your fight to your European counterparts.

sinizia:
Why did you use a clipper to barb your hair in order to look good? Why weren't you leaving your hair uncombed and unshaved since you want to practice what you preach? BTW, why are you using a phone? Go back to the Stone Age!!

Grooming is not faking and lying to yourself... Were we not combing and cutting our hair before oyinbo came, you are clutching at straws here girl you know the epidemic of black women wearing weave is out of hand and seeing themselves as less than other races is not good but yet you are adamant in teaching your daughter that.

sinizia:
Stop being a hypocrite!! He who wants equity must come with clean hands. You can't choose the Western acts that favours you, and condemn the acts that favours the women. Lead by example and discard the Western stuffs that you think is the bane of African beauty. If you can't do that, then you are not to be taken serious. Next time your hair grows, please don't barb it with a Western clipper. Don't shave your armpit too. Look trashy. Go back to wearing leaves or carrying elephant tusks before you can complain. Nonsense!!

And there in lies the Problem, You and Many millions of Black Women really view Weaves are "favorable" as against the unfavorable natural hair and if you have your Natural Hair you look Trashy. I don't blame you this is the message may mothers pass unto their children from day one. We have to relax your hair it look trashy we have to bleach your skin its to dark.

Like I said I live in Europe and have seen this stupi.d attitude first hand. In a group of black girls 99% will be wearing weave and if one has her natural hair see the abuse she gets from those girls. And the funny thing is white people just laugh at the ones that wear weave I have many white friends and we just shake our heads at the how fake and ugly it looks.

Ipledge:
Show us your pix,so We can appreciate your natural hair weave or forever remain silent

I am a guy with a low cut been told by many that I am handsome been told by many that I am ugly but I rock my shitz and won't be caught dead with a toupee

sinizia:
OP, if you want me to take you serious, do away with your phones, your cement-built house, the clothes you are wearing sewn with Western sewing machines. Stop entering or driving cars. In short, throw away anything that has the mark of Westernization in your life including your written English (education), then we can debate. Until then, you have no point.

On the defensive from the start....You are seriously comparing material objects to something that is inherently from your body.... Next you will be justifying bleaching.

It is time to end all this silly fakery black women. Having lived in Europe for the past decade I can tell you the single most embarrassing thing I see on a daily basis is a black woman walking down the road with a shiny plastic atrocity on her head. We should encourage our young women to turn away from this non-sense and go back to our Natural God given hair. In recent times the movement for natural hair is gathering pace with the likes of the Beautiful Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie wearing what her mamma gave her. It is the biggest sign of an inferiority complex to wearing what is not ours because of some false "beauty" arbitrary standard set by God knows who.

Clear-cut
Industrial forestry degrading public lands, Willamette National Forest in Oregon

‘What an irony it is that these living beings whose shade we sit in, whose fruit we eat, whose limbs we climb, whose roots we water, to whom most of us rarely give a second thought, are so poorly understood. We need to come, as soon as possible, to a profound understanding and appreciation for trees and forests and the vital role they play, for they are among our best allies in the uncertain future that is unfolding.’ Jim Robbins

Hill-side slum:
Slum-dwelling residents of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, face bleak living conditions in the western hemisphere’s poorest country

‘Squatters trade physical safety and public health for a few square meters of land and some security against eviction. They are the pioneer settlers of swamps, floodplains, volcano slopes, unstable hillsides, rubbish mountains, chemical dumps, railroad sidings, and desert fringes ... such sites are poverty’s niche in the ecology of the city, and very poor people have little choice but to live with disaster.’ Mike Davis

Dead bird
On Midway Atoll, far from the centres of world commerce, an albatross, dead from ingesting too much plastic, decays on the beach – it is a common sight on the remote island

‘Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals – the same fate awaits them both; as one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath.’ Ecclesiastes 3:19

Oil wells
Depleting oil fields are yet another symptom of ecological overshoot as seen at the Kern River Oil Field in California

‘I don’t understand why when we destroy something created by man we call it vandalism, but when we destroy something created by nature we call it progress.’ Ed Begley, Jr.

Cows and smoke
Ground zero in the war on nature – cattle graze among the burning Amazon jungle in Brazil

‘Throughout history human exploitation of the earth has produced this progression: colonise-destroy-move on.’ Garrett Hardin

Rectangular fields
No room for nature, the entire landscape is devoted to crop production in China

‘Globalisation, which attempts to amalgamate every local, regional, and national economy into a single world system, requires homogenising locally adapted forms of agriculture, replacing them with an industrial system – centrally managed, pesticide-intensive, one-crop production for export – designed to deliver a narrow range of transportable foods to the world market.’ Helena Norberg-Hodge

Trash wave
Indonesian surfer Dede Surinaya catches a wave in a remote but garbage-covered bay on Java, Indonesia, the world’s most populated island

‘Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.’ Jacques-Yves Cousteau

British Columbia clear-cut
Sometimes called the Brazil of the North, Canada has not been kind to its native forests as seen by clear-cut logging on Vancouver Island

‘Human domination over nature is quite simply an illusion, a passing dream by a naive species. It is an illusion that has cost us much, ensnared us in our own designs, given us a few boasts to make about our courage and genius, but all the same it is an illusion.’ Donald Worster

Greenhouses grow greenhouses
As far as the eye can see, greenhouses cover the landscape in Almeria, Spain

‘We are slaves in the sense that we depend for our daily survival upon an expand-or-expire agro-industrial empire – a crackpot machine – that the specialists cannot comprehend and the managers cannot manage. Which is, furthermore, devouring world resources at an exponential rate.’ Edward Abbey

South City Mall in Kolkata, India
Consumer culture spreads to the global south
‘In the developing world, the problem of population is seen less as a matter of human numbers than of western over-consumption. Yet within the development community, the only solution to the problems of the developing world is to export the same unsustainable economic model fuelling the overconsumption of the West.’ Kavita Ramdas

Feedlot
Industrial livestock production in Brazil

‘Despite the industry’s spin, concentrated animal feeding operations are not the only way to raise livestock and poultry. Thousands of farmers and ranchers integrate crop production, pastures, or forages with livestock and poultry to balance nutrients within their operations and minimise off-farm pollution through conservation practices and land management. Yet these sustainable producers, who must compete with factory farms for market share, receive comparatively little or no public funding for their sound management practices.’ Martha Noble

Oil spill fire
Aerial view of an oil fire following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico

‘We must realise that not only does every area have a limited carrying capacity, but also that this carrying capacity is shrinking and the demand growing. Until this understanding becomes an intrinsic part of our thinking and wields a powerful influence on our formation of national and international policies we are scarcely likely to see in what direction our destiny lies.’ William Vogt

Waves of humanity
Sprawling Mexico City rolls across the landscape, displacing every scrap of natural habitat

‘If our species had started with just two people at the time of the earliest agricultural practices some 10,000 years ago, and increased by one percent per year, today humanity would be a solid ball of flesh many thousand light years in diameter, and expanding with a radial velocity that, neglecting relativity, would be many times faster than the speed of light.’ -Gabor Zovanyi

How to you Expain the Middle Belt the Holdfast of The Majority of Minorities (like what I did there) voting for Buhari












Or Are you going to Lump us in with the "Northern Born To Rule" Ridiculous article

qbd2:
When u mention north, have u forgotten dat pple in south west also practice polygamy and yet they pass?
I agree to some extent, children from polygamous homes may have more probabiility of failing cos of the large no of chiuldren such dat there's no one to monitor anyone.
U shud have put it more to be children from home where there's little or no monbitoring are prone to failing, not trying to place the blame on polygamy.

U must be a 2nd wife

A 2013 study of Nigerian students, published in the International Journal of Psychology and Counselling, showed that "there is a significant difference in the overall academic achievement of students from monogamous families and those from polygamous families" and "that life in polygamous family can be traumatic and children brought up in such family structure often suffer some emotional problems such as lack of warmth, love despite availability of money and material resources, and disciplinary problems which may hinder their academic performance."



THat explains why our Northern Brothers and Sisters are failing WAEC like dem dey do shoki!!!!!

shitshappen:
Sorry, It's a man's world

Correction it is a white mans world

Chinom:
It is the executive arm that fixes their salaries. So Buhari could slash it easily once he has the backing of all Nigerians. They shouldn't even be paid salaries anymore. We should pay them just sitting allowances.
The first place to start the fight against corruption is to cut their salaries and allowances.

The executive only proposes a Budget it is up to the Legislator to approve and pass it thereby making it law. You see how Obama is at the mercy of the US Congress which is Republican controlled.

Sure Buhari can play to the galleries and make a show of trying to force the Lawmakers to cut their pay. More than likely this will only serve to turn the Lawmakers against him. If he is smart the strategic thing to do is to build his support base in his first term and get a 2nd term and then when he has nothing to lose make a real concerted effort to bring these lawmaker to heel. If the lawmakers bulk that where we the electorate come in and vote them out after extracting a promise from who ever we vote in to cut their pay.

That's how I would do it. The only problem I see with this plan is that the Nigerian Public has an extremely short memory, by rights this should have been a hot burner issue for us to be discussing for the just concluded 2015 elections but I didn't hear pimmm.

2 Front Pages in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am Officially Retiring

Bye Bye

Nairaland

ozoigbondu:
The first buhari should do is slash down those theives salaries and allowances by at least 60% since GEJ is too lazy to do it.

Its not that easy man....He would have to wait until his 2nd term to do it

This is a Nigerian Congressman defending and justifying his pay and allowances. And tries to imply he isn't payed enough . First 30 mins

the sooner we are rid of all these traditional frauds the better for Nigeria

raumdeuter:
Why are you so concerned about the economic output of Lagos? Go to your state and develop their economic output.

The Oba of Lagos say you should obey him while in his state, you carry am for head like Ojuju Calabar

Guy I am Chilaxing in White man land as I am typing this. If only every Nigerian could come to Europe for a week see how thing works, how people are orderly and how they view the black race many we when they got back to Nigeria they would strive to make the country better out of pure embarrassment.

I just want to see my continent prosper, instead idiotss like this Oba are doing everything to make it not prosper for the sake of cheap tribal points.


And Oh That Tradition Fraud has no iota of constitutional power so he can shove his obidience up where the sun don't shine non-sense. Every people of the world is moving forward but us black people.
