^^i do check out your profile pictures once in a while and i wanted to let you know i offer invisible and inaudible prayers for you sometimes.

do you watch mount zion movies?

it shall be well with your soul.

Do you have hanging gardens as landscape design, or whale skin leather chairs?

huh?

are people depleting the whales btw.

seems like the flavor flav show.

Why do a lot of nigerian men run after women with the whole shebang ie perm, weave, nails, etc then as soon as she's firmly in their grasp, they start demanding she stop all those and go natural.

I mean, isnt that what you saw before getting attracted to her in the first place? I mean the makeup, hair extensions, etc.

Eni bimo won ri nkan fun.

Oooh, i'm so scared and jealous. Why do nigerian men always pass me by for beta people.

Una don turn seun into something else.

Finally.

And just after he'd gotten nicer to people.

Smh.

What happened btw. Has he joined the dark side? Or is it the effect of girlfriend/wife.

Who dey stress am?

manners are important when you're talking of first impressions.

The lady didnt meet them in a night club or brothel did she?

Basic courtesy is a staple of yoruba culture. These agbero tout attitudes does nobody any good.

In the west that constitutes harassment.

Stop encouraging your brothers to do things that will make them unable to cope with the real world.

Gosh you people are aggravating seun and wearing him out.

He doesnt usually use such strong language.

What's funny? ??

Do you think i havent noticed your extremely limited knowledge about anything pertaining to yoruba.

Better join your buddy walestar in sexuality since no IQ is needed there.

Yeah, i saw through your disguise and fake attempts to seem learned.

Hmph.

I doubt you'd even recognise a yoruba person if they stood on your ear.

Are you trying to make yourself feel good about being so ignorant?

Look, there's a way out.

Just live in sexuality section- no brains needed over there.

this might have something to do with osamas death,though

quite possibly.

We should probably make sure people understand the difference between WEAVE (braiding) with natural hair, which is what we used to do to our hair on weekends to get ready for school. And WEAVE-IN fake hair.

Words mean different things now. lol. Language is ever evolving.

true.

weaving these days refers to weave-in, or fake weave.

For them to understand just say braiding/cornrows and weave(sew in) to differentiate. It simpler for them that way

in nigeria, braiding means hair extensions [or hair attachments].

not sure corn rows is used at all down there- that's an american thing.

many people are misinterpreting what those men are saying. The men said, "mo fe fe oo." That could mean either I want to date you, I want to phuck you, or I want to marry you. It most likely that first two.

^^still not an expected response to "good morning".

[quote author=Busy_body link=topic=659422.msg8326145#msg8326145 date=1305480593]I was shocked[/quote]huh?

something can shock you?

what next- you're a virgin?

That's beautiful.  I like that.  A version of the "Shuku" style we used to wear to school, before we grew up and started frying our hair.  Every Saturday or Sunday before the new school week, we'd get our hair either PLAITED in the flat Yoruba hair-braiding style (kolese, shuku, etc), WEAVED, the raised braid style, or KO, with the thread, like a couple of the pictures in the Satin Sheen adv.

most kids back then alternated threading and weaving, different weeks.

the threading straightened out the hair and made it soft, permeable and shiny- just right for the beautiful weaving.

later on most schools started allowing kids to perm their hair and from then on, it was perming all the way, with the attendant breakages and loose ends.

probably coupled with a lack of seriousness in studying too, i wouldnt be surprised to hear. I could be wrong however.


fake weaves are an inevitable companion to perming.

however, not all weaves look bad, regardless what some grouches are saying here.

The fact that she speaks yoruba does not change her mindset towards africans

true that.

though I don't like Abike, she is not friendly, sometimes when you try to talk to her, she would not answer you

she probably got tired of all the instant marriage and sex proposals.

imagine:

girl: hi! how are you. my name is abike or abigael. Nice to meet you for the first time.

our men: i love you. will you marry me. lets make some babies.





i mean, it gets old pretty fast.

Especially when the same scene gets replayed over and over and over and over and over again ad infinitum.

then later the men start yapping [after receiving visa and hooking up with some easy lays elsewhere] about how nigerian girls wouldnt give them the time of day in nigeria therefore they are bad people.

a young white girl in america who could choose to learn any language in the world decides that of all the languages she should learn it will be yoruba

earlier quote from me:

and can someone tell me why i didnt find any videos of whites speaking igbo, edo or any rivers/south south languages

i know they exist- make una unhide   post them oh!!!!

yoruba isnt the only language in nigeria.

some nigerians do have natural hair as long as oprah's, haba.

I personally know people like that in nigeria, and even my grandma has that kind of hair and she's not mixed in any way.

In some instances, very long hair is linked to some kind of deity, if the girl's family is a traditional one. You know how superstitious people are.

However, most do not have super long hair, i agree.

@ topic

no idea. I dont really dwell on these things.

I know nigerian men dont like the thought however and many nigerian families would prefer their daughters not marry white, or any non-nigerian. Its hard enough for yoruba women especially to marry another tribe. The support simply isnt there most times. So how much more being with someone of a different skin color.

However, things may be changing though i doubt it.

Doesnt mean absolutely no nigerian women marry other races anyway. There are plenty who do.

^That's oprah natural hair though it might be showing some effects of past perming. It takes a while to restore hair to its natural state after a perm. I believe its her normal hair length because i've seen people with hair that long. Usually, it takes hairdressers a very long time to weave or thread it.

@ queensmith

a lot of the photos are showing some form of chemical treatment, true, but the weaving ones are just to demonstrate what a weaving looks like. Its very hard getting a picture of a weaving with natural hair online. Most girls have permed hair even in nigerian towns and cities.

The beautiful girl in the black and white photo however, has 100% natural hair.

very elegant:

no, sixties in nigeria.

americans dont thread their hair.



https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/--J17z5dpm5w/TX-G_VNZI3I/AAAAAAAAAV4/zil432iRXhY/s1600/scn_0001.jpg

people from the sixties had some amazing hair threading, and strangely the hair did seem longer- maybe because it wasnt permed or something.

what is the difference between an immigrant and a first-generation immigrant then? Please don't avoid this question again, for you have a pattern of dodging intellectually-challenging questions.

first, second and third generation immigrants are all considered "immigrants" in the wider sense of the word, and sometimes depending on context, until they assimilate into the wider culture of their countries of residence.

for africans, that would be the AA culture.

as long as they identify with their original countries, they're considered to have an immigrant mindset. When they forget or no longer refer to their countries of origin, they become majorly identified with their countries of naturalization only, with some opting for [or having] a prefix depicting their ethnicity.

just an unwritten rule.

Is this what you mean?

yes, that one.

it straightens out the hair wonderfully but most modern women wouldnt be caught dead wearing it in public and especially not overseas.


besides, it was used to portray the borg queen in star trek.

does anyone know how to google "threading" ie those twists you make with chinese thread.

hairdressers used to work wonders with those things but unfortunately the styles arent considered pc.

Ancient Africans hair used to be long but all these chemicals and recent developments for black hair just stagnates the growth

seriously doubt the bolded since even the ancient greeks and ancient egyptians still spoke of and depicted blacks with cloud-like hair.


black melanasians, however can have straight, caucasian hair.


but i agree chemicals and other treatments do damage hair, and this cuts across races in general.

love these styles:
