Some of the pictures almost look like photoshop.

Phonetikkks:
CHANGE?

We were born in the system quite alright; we were born into corruption.

But must we continue? Must we persist in this path of mediocrity?

Nigerians!

What if we don't know anything else?

Why not post all the pictures here.

Obviously there was quite a lot of interaction between northern nigeria and northern africa.

As we enter 2016 with trepidation we place it in God's hands in Jesus Name.

No we should not.

However, we should still be grateful to God because its not by power nor might.

Many artworks from different places were featured in night at the museum.

No particular reason except that it is just impossible to quantify God's great wonders and the fact of being God.


Imagine if it were possible to count God's mercies, there is a reason why it is impossible, the earth itself could not contain the account.

Baba God, You are just too much.

Oh Lord I am very very grateful

For all You have done for me

And I say


Thank You Jesus.

It's not by power, its not by might, but by thy Spirit o Lord.

Why cant you folks take the thread seriously nah.

as for me, oh Lord I am very very grateful

for all You have done for me

And I say Thank You Jesus.

My gratitude shall be ever present in Jesus Name.

Amen.

3. Idolizing body types as they are presented by the media.

According to The Renfrew Center Foundation for Eating Disorders, it's estimated that only 5% of North Americans have body types similar to those portrayed in the media.

While it may seem cliché, stopping body-shaming starts with the realization that bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and that few particular body types are overwhelmingly overrepresented in the media.



9. Defining beauty as a look rather than a state of mind

When we realize that we're more than just our bodies, we can begin to let go of some of the pressures we place on them. The body is a strong vehicle, but it is not the sole medium through which we experience life. Beauty also comes from attributes such as humor, compassion, selflessness, intelligence.

The human body is one of the most precious tools we have. It's an intricate, complex and reliable organism; it relentlessly serves us day and night, yet expects very little in return.

For many reasons, we're often more willing to listen to our minds than to trust in our bodies. We follow our mind with little hesitation, spending time listening to its assumptions, its lies, and its criticisms. When it comes to thinking about our bodies, however, we easily let our minds dictate our perceptions. Our default settings make it easy for us to forget that our thoughts themselves are molded by our social structures and landscapes. The mind gobbles up unrealistic ideals and projects them onto the body.

By contrast, we see our bodies as candid: our body is just what we perceive it to be (though this perception is so often shaped by social attitudes and structures). Through the mind, we see the body as something that exists only to serve our needs and refuse to see it outside of the projections our mind places onto it. The problem is, when we think we are seeing our body, we are often seeing projections instead.

Yoga, like many other activities, trains us to move out of the mind and into the body. By doing this, we rid ourselves of some of the feelings associated with the body, one of which is shame. The association between shame and the body is so deeply rooted that we have developed habits of judging the body. We do this when looking at others, but also when looking at our own bodies. Body-shaming takes on different forms, all of which have extensive effects.

Knowing what we know about the difficulties we face in becoming comfortable in our bodies, why do we continue to be so harsh? Why are we adding to the pressure?

Sometimes, it is simply because shaming has grown to be so automatic that it becomes difficult to identify the instances in which we are engaging in body-shaming. Here are nine ways in which we inadvertently body-shame. Once these become easily identifiable, we can work toward stopping, questioning, and correcting those thoughts.

let's say no to body shaming.

neither basketmouth nor his wife are the shape described in the photo, so who exactly is the poster trying to malign?

Rivertemz:
Yes indeed, ethiopian women have beautiful eyes.

Aha! I don't know but I believe the guy is the least handsome in the pics I've posted, no offence to him

i wouldnt say the eyes are unusual (without makeup), but maybe the facial structure is non-negroid, which would be considered beauty.

The guy in question is actually the most handsome of all of them.
