Writer Nnedi Okorafor Upset After Nigerians Made Rude Comments About Her Hair


Nnedi Okorafor, a Nigerian-American writer of fantasy, science fiction, and speculative fiction, three days ago showed off her very long dreadlocks which reach her knee on her Facebook page.

Unfortunately, she got upset when reactions poured in and she realized the negative ones were from her fellow Nigerians. Someone even asked her if they were her source of power. Continues below.

I am cool.

She's right, fela always knew what he was saying.

As much as I'll like to say 'more power to you' , ' you look good with it'


The truth is


It looks disgusting!

The first picture almost made me puke
The hair looks very dirty,no apology

She looks unkempt

And I believe her daughter is going the same way

All the way to her knees?


Her husband dey try

I love dread. when am 40 I will start growing mine.

That babe that called the writers hair "snakes" is nothing but a brainwashed waste of the century....... I can imagine the stink that emanates from the weave shes forgotten to change since 3months.




Oniranu ode!

She even looks like a drug dealer



And why is she upset with the lady for airing her opinion


Na you carry hair come and she said what she thinks about it


Even called her a waste

Its irritating

I will advice that sometimes we scroll pass some thread if we have nothing positive to say or contribute rather than castigating someone about their personal life style, to say the truth it makes us Nigerians look/sound uncivilized.

Nigerian women want her to get a weave, so she will have no edges just like them.

It is so funny how we make judgement about other based on their appearance. The most funny and ironic thing in Nigeria is that since the creation of Nigeria I am yet to find any of our politicians (who have stolen and ruined more lives than all thieves combined) that looks "irresponsible".

When will we learn to appreciate the gift nature has given us rather we are embracing what the western media and commerce said beauty is.

Hair that looks like that always have a distinctive smell, usually stinky lol.
