Youre right but those are extreme examples of cultural sensitivity. Your own comment was talking of putting any black woman at the centre of any photo with lots of Caucasians, for diversity's sake

It should be at the discretion of the designer how best to display his art.

If there were a photoshoot involving black africans with one white person and we kept putting her at the front, at the centre, and all that, would you still name it "diversity"?

I suspect you would still complain

This argument is so unnecessary. If you see my point fine, if you don't finer. How many magazines have you seen uses a black constantly for a monthly issue. Please if any let me know and make sure it's not a bellanaija or it's kind.

safarigirl:
I see no reason for your insult, as I was buttressing your point.

I write very good English sir, so good that I make money off of writing.

Perhaps some of my grammar is above your head, hence, your rather harsh criticism


I was supporting your stance, too bad you couldn't deduce that.

I honestly had no shade in mind. I was being honest and wanted to know what your point is. I'm happy you saw clarity in what I said and also sincerely apologize if my reply was offensive.

Lordofthewest:
Too many deaths in this country these days its no longer news..sad

God help us. Most populated black nation where "Blacklives don't matter".

collinsuchendu:
Like if you think it's APC, Share otherwise

Most shallow act ever. So childish and very unnecessary. Grow UP. if you've nothing to contribute, STFU.

safarigirl:
Most Nigerians are ignorant to what racism is, so, they can come here and downplay it.

What do they know im the racism discussion? What do they know about it? Nothing. That is why they can spew such ignorance as "she's African, so, next to a caucasian, she will look immensely darker"....the sheee ignorance in that statement is befuddling. Is Adesua the first African to take a picture next to a Caucasian? Have we not seen others? Did they look unusualky darker than their natural complexion? Did this same Adesua not feature on The Wedding Party with a Caucasian? Did she look this dark next to her?


They are ignorant of racism and that is why they will continually be mocked and spat on by the self-proclaimed 'superior race'.

I honestly don't get your point. Try to be more expressive in your English else speak Pidgin.

I was in the middle of typing to argue with you but after staring at the picture yet again, i finally realised what everybody is complaining about All the other girls were given space to shine but they used one chick's head to cover her own. She was relegated

Still, this could be a status issue. Rihanna is much more famous. Plus her face is much more striking and confrontational. Adesua's is more passive

I still disagree with you though. A photographer cant ruin the idea and concept he is going for so as not to appear as "racist". Thats not good for people's creativity

But some subconscious racial bias is showing here, I cant really deny that

Say that to Gucci using " Blackface " for advert or H&M. racism goes way beyond asking a black man to stand for a white folk.

biosilicon:
My hobby is writing black history dude. And this inferiority complex you are so brazenly displaying here is part of the problem.

Find a hobby you obviously know nothing of black history. Time wasted can never be recovered.

cucumbae:
I beg to differ.What about the Hausa Fulani who are known to have 9 inches DK who are forcefully getting married to 10 years old teenage girls?Those gels don't complain of painful or shifted abdomen.

Hand your sister over to one and ask of experience later. Or you go watch "DRY".

biosilicon:
thats the physicist feeling sorry for your warped mentality. sorry.

I still don't know how people go about parading all forms of childishness in public. Dude Grow TF Up.

biosilicon:
you are the racist here dude. why are so insecure? who told you that she is at the back? what has the position got to do with racism? some people will argue she is in front, it depends on how you look at it. If she was not featured you will still shout racism. if they edit her skin colour to be a bit lighter, you will still scream racism. If she is placed in the position you want you will question why it has to be the black girl in that position. please you people should just give it a rest and admire the pic for what it is "A PICTURE".

Vogue has done millions of covers without any person of color in it. So do your research before coming here to act childish. If you can't see anything wrong with that picture I'm sorry but you're a sold out Black man. A renowned actress in Nigeria looking clumsy at the back of three brightened faced White girls and you see nothing wrong with it! White supremacy is really a Movement.

biosilicon:
what a load of crap.

Says someone with a crappy brain using the greatest physicist ever for a meme. LAME.

Dreew:
I want to ask...why are Africans typically insecure? What is racist about this picture as it relates to Adesua?

When you're old enough to understand, you'll know racism and insecurities are two different stigma. Let Bellanaija do a magazine cover with 3 black girls and a White girl, then see for yourself who'd be very obvious in it.

midnighter:
But you cant move a black person to the front just because she is black. That would be condescending, which is another form of racism

Believe me i am looking hard at the picture to see what slavery everyone is talking about

The other girls in the picture are Caucasians, putting a woman of colour in the middle shows DIVERSITY. if Rihanna happens to be on a cover with a million white girls, you'll always identify her as the Queen in it. Adesua might not be the biggest female in Nollywood but the girl's damn pretty and deserves better.

pat077:
Teni should learn from her

You should learn to make people know you by your talent not as a troll. That's if you have any.

BOOOMNAIJA:
SO THIS HIPPOPOTAMUS ONCE LOOKED LIKE A HUMAN BEING......INTERESTING!

Bodyshamer, pls upload a picture of your mum.

TechCapon:
It's true. Look at the picture very carefully, she looks out of place and like a house girl. First, she's the only one whose features was partially blocked from the view of the camera. It's almost as if they're hiding her. This is a really good shot like this below

Please help say it louder for the shallow brains.

Oyindidi:
Foolish gay

What he said was fact though. Colorism has become a stigma in this generation, why put a black girl at the back of three white girls. It's a racial slur. Get the point before rushing here to act homophobic.

tsinzu:
You're an idiot o, I gave an advice to niniola to help her sister with her fashion and you just jump in and start ranting like a scatterbrained lunatic. Please take your buffoonery to the madhouse, I am sure you will fit in well there. Bloody jackass!!

Useless troll, where did you see niniola here? You're such a miserable fool. Rot in stupidity.

tsinzu:
Who be this monkey? If you can't see that teni's dress sense is off then you must be high on cheap Oshogbo weed

And If you can't listen to a music without judging the artist's outward appearance, your foolishness and lowself esteem must be hereditary.

tsinzu:
Help her with her fashion sense, she is always looking like a misfit

Ya someone should help with your brain, it's so misfit.

Onyi22:
Also talk to her about hitting d Gym.....
She should also stop this tomboy of a thing.....
Don't forget to talk to her about getting a good bra for herself..........

That's all you Nigerians can do! 'Body shame' it's so dumb Cus you literally have nothing to be proud of. How sure are we you're not some misfit low self esteemed victim who feels better picking on people they'll never be able to have a conversation with. You're so dumb. God help you Asap.

Wizzyflexx:
Slitting ya wrist is a slow way to die..

I pray non of your family members slits their wrist. God grant you the peace never to attempt suicide.

kennygee:
To hell with your idea of beauty.

If Alek Wek is beautiful to you, to me, she isn't

Now bye boy.

Now you're being honest. The person you're calling 'not beautiful' is very comfortable in her skin and is married to a White man who loves and adores her. You're here on nairaland wallowing in self pity and low self esteem. Bitch you suck.

StOla:
Did he remember to mock Atiku who was rejected at his very own polling unit?

Did he remember to mock Saraki whose political structure was totally uprooted from Kwara state, such that he does not even have any influence over a mere state legislator and is now politically useless and hopeless?

Did he remember to also mock Kwankwaso who allied himself with PDP and ended up losing his senatorial election?


When is he going to mock Patience Jonathan who has had another N2.4b naira seized by the supreme court, in addition to the $8.4m earlier seized?

Fools everywhere, kwankwaso did not run for office. Stay pressed.

tartar9:
90% with the disease in the SS are igboes

You're really a fool.

ElsonMorali:
Well well, I guess Islam promotes modesty better than "Christianity". Just an observation...

Hypocrites everywhere. At least Christians who can't abstain uses condoms, what do you all do? Give birth to battalions of which 90% are products of unprotected sex. So who's multiplying HIV in the country? If you've nothing to say,say nothing. Victims of ill fate.

kennygee:
You have a problem.

I never said she's not worth millions of dollars, neither did I say she's ugly because she is black.

I am a black woman, I love black women and I love my man dark.

If Alek Wek is Agbani of Genevieve Nnaji standard of beautiful to you, settle that with yourself.

Modelling is an industry that works with bodies, not necessarily looks, that is what I was trying to say but you had to make if about colorism.

Oya, look for a white model who you feel is unattractive and replace her name with Alek Wek.

Bye.

You literally didn't read your previous comment before giving a reply. Hypocrites everywhere, all of a sudden alek wek is beautiful. You're low self esteem is scary to say the least. PS: saying you love dark men is because no white man knows you. Bye

Sikay19:

To be honest this Yemi Alade is more beautiful and decent than that paedophilia Tiwa savage who dey romance her pikin mate.

Happy birthday to a gorgeous lady

Please who's the pikin mate? Dummy.

kennygee:
If modelling is by fineness, Alek Wek no for be model.

Modelling, not beauty pageant.

Alek week is not beautiful Cus she's Black?! You're so dumb. Alek is worth millions of dollars with the face and skin you literally called "not beautiful". In a world where black women are being criticized for being black, seeing this criticism coming from a black human is so disgusting.

Iamsupaboi:
She's probably right... bb9ja wasn't fair with their selections at all. Anyways, try again dear.

In the other news...My first time to get the first comment .. Instgram: @iam_supaboi

In a time where Gun control is a major issue worldwide, putting a Gun on a music cover is so unnecessary and so uncalled for. Always use your brain when doing something especially an advert,things go viral this days. Trying to paint yourself a gangster is so old fashion ask Ed sheeran.
