Have you ever thot of what went wrong in sugabelly's life that she hates anybody that is remotely fairskinned or white? she complains if pple have weave or relaxed hair, but feels justified to use hair extensions to braid her hair, because she feel braiding is african, lol! how ridiculous - if she were so PROUD of her natural hair, she will let braid her natural hair, or better still put it in threads for 'protection'. she is a hypocrite and her hatred is apparent. She is suffering from the biggest inferiority complex i have ever come across, and that girl truly HATES herself. I have never come across anyone with so much Angst in my life, ever. you are automatically hated by sugabelly, if per chance you are fair skinned and successful.<br />and you my dear miss B unfortunately has been sucked in hook line and sinker. Hence the reason why you will lose ur readers. As for naija shawty, her role in life is to aimlessly support all the jargon on blogsville without having an opinion of her own - people like her suffer from the worst kind of self hate imaginable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086590995927916295.post-57605564381503102322009-05-27T02:16:17.381+01:002009-05-27T02:16:17.381+01:00Seems some people have a problem reading. Ok here ...Seems some people have a problem reading. Ok here is a simple break down, a magazine is celebrating young and successful Nigerians in Nigeria and out of the thirty, its a fair skinned, half Nigerian/half something else that can grace the cover? Come on now people. Think a little. Lets stop being politically correct. <br /><br />We all know for a fact that foreigners are treated better in Nigerian than Nigerians. It's a fact. Cos I do not know why you will pay a high school drop out more money than a college graduate, if it got nothing to do with his/her skin color. Like someone said, this is 2009, lets starts calling things the way they are. <br /><br />Talking about young and upwardly moving Nigerians in Nigeria and having a picture of someone that looks Indian is not right.Mineexclusivelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310665766303594898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086590995927916295.post-11356872399510792112009-05-26T15:01:28.055+01:002009-05-26T15:01:28.055+01:00Anonymous 9.13, CHILL OUT! you are missing the poi...Anonymous 9.13, CHILL OUT! you are missing the point of the whole post.

What you are saying does...Wow, this post is a joke. What you are saying doesn't even make sense! Is it because they are not Nigerian enough that they should not be on the cover? I can bet that if the people on the cover were some black South Africans or say, black Kenyans YOU would not be saying a damn thing! Let's call a spade a spade. You are not upset about the cover sporting non-Nigerians or unauthentic Nigerians because as I said earlier, if they dark skinned black South Africans would you be beefing? Problaby not. Well, its probably not your fault. You are just reacting in a manner that is the result of the ways Nigerians view other "unauthentic" Nigerians.<br /><br />If an American, or Canadian makes such comments I'm pretty sure you would be bitching. I grew up in Canada but have been living in Nigeria for the past 7 yrs now and I can tell you that I have seen many Canadian magazines with foreigners -Blacks, Indians, Asains on the cover. So please one cover is not going to kill any Nigerian person.LadyTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086590995927916295.post-46485711186167724962009-05-23T14:01:03.378+01:002009-05-23T14:01:03.378+01:00Mr Anonymous-CHILL OUT! i was merely stating the a...Mr Anonymous-CHILL OUT! i was merely stating the arguments that had been put forward for and against putting having foreingers on the cover. I personally have NOTHING against it, and like i said if you read the post carefully, there are hundreds of magazines with Nigerians on the cover. But at the same time, I can appreciate other people's arguments against it because Nigerians are bitter about treating ourselves as second best, and as stated you would NEVER find a Nigerian on the cover of an indian magazine no matter how long they stay there or how much they have achieved.<br /><br />Also, my blog is not meant to just focus on all things Nigerian as I am open minded. I see nothing wrong with celebrating foreign as well as local talent. But if I was asked to pick an actress for the cover of a magizine, I would pick the BEST, regardless of thier race!<br />Thanks for stoppin by though!miss bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168223470694250041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9086590995927916295.post-23520181674170977752009-05-21T20:13:26.369+01:002009-05-21T20:13:26.369+01:00whoa im diggin' this.
