: MediaTakeOut.com got a hold of pics from a Nigerian TV show called Next Top Model. Looks like Tyra's empire is expanding around the globe. It's hard to hate on Tyra when you see her making these kind of power moves.
Hard but not impossible. Don't worry, we'll always find a reason to hate on Tyra and her big forehead ...
Whoa! Now there's something you don't see everyday. An all black model cast? Go my sistas!!! But on the real...that one in the back with the hair all over the place is not cute at all. They all kinnda look like Alex Wek...the darkskin angel faced Model. May the best woman win!!! I hope I'll be able to catch this one.Actually the second picture looks like a Gap or Bananna Republic advertisement!! I am proud!
I am a Nigerian lady and I have to say that we are some of the most beautiful women on the planet. I am so happy that the world is starting to recognize us! I am so proud of this show and Tyra. I can't wait to watch it, even if I have to catch the next episode on satellite at my parents' house in Lagos, LOL!
These women sure are fine. Not top model fine but fine. Love the many flavors.
Now in response to black women letting themselves go. Oh, boy have they. And I will explain.
Everyday I see these nasty sistas with they guts hanging 4 feet below their belts and they don't give a hoot. Why? Because they know some dumb ignant brotha on the corner gonna holla at them when they see them just because they got on tight pants and managed to stuff them rolls in the jeans. You could parade a hippo past these brothas and they gonna say "look at that a$$". Do some sit-ups ladies please.
And am I the only one noticing the "lazy sista ghetto shuffle' walk they be doing? They talk lazy(broken english and slang with every word), they walk lazy on the sidewalk about 4 deep and God forbid if you need to pass them without them ready to cut you even after you say "excuse me". And see them coming from Popeyes, Mickey D's, etc. with bags and bags of food. In the AM when I hit the buffet to grap some milk and maybe some french toast these sistas be taking their time ordering big a$$ breakfasts from the counter like 4 eggs, with extra cheese, extra bacon, extra butter, etc. And ready to cuss the cook if he aint put enough cheese on the sandwich. Same sistas be ready to cuss out the Chinaman if he aint put enough "Mumbo Sauce" on they fried chicken.
tivo-u are seeing what u only want to see.if u noticed-many of us are not ghetto.do not shuffle.u just want to believe otherwise to justify your racist attitude.all my friends are healthy,educated,black women.and none of us shuffle.black women are not letting themselves go!u can say some women period let themselves go.what!?-you've never seen a white woman looking fat and trashy,or a latina women.plenty of them too.but u wouldn't say they let themselves go now would you?!u are just as ignorant as the women you described.
TiVo, are you serious? I will agree that some are not the prettiest but they are pretty by Nigerian standards. Most countries have their own perception of beauty. I think they are beautiful and as for your negative comments about BLACK women, I won't even comment. It would be waaaay too easy. In fact, you have already let people know that you're an azz, so my work here is done.
The first girl standing on the right side is totally gorgeous. She should definately be the NEXT TOP MODEL. The difference between these girls and others are that they project their royalty and pride in themselves. It's very refreshing. I sincerely hope to see this show. With the number of african american women who don't respect themselves, or have pride in what they naturally are, these ladies can show them the inspiration they may have been missing. These ladies look so strong and proud and we need as much as we can get in this country.
This is Lovely. Something positive about nigerian for once. And Nigeria has better lovely females than this, but it's all good. Mind you, Nigeria is not all bad, though the so called "first world" countries like painting her so. To someof you all i have to say is: Nigerianbeauty; Anuri jukwara m obi! noo nke oma, nwannem. Tivo or what was your name....?; go hang yourself!
To some people all i have to say
@ imblessed i agree let them not put too much color on their hair @ corey and latinopower can the 2 of you just stop corey i know you are an ugly white bitch and latinopower clean ur eyes ofcourse they wont be naked they already have clothes and like wet-c said make sure you've jumped the gate plus your family and dont make ignorant comments black is beautiful....Power to every black human being
I love that all my fellow beautiful black people have said such nice things about the ladies on this new show. They truly are beautiful. Someone commented that their complexions are gorgeous. They are radiant in my eyes and I am glad that we are embracing our features as peoples of African decent rather than glorifying a stereotype of beauty that is not global or worldy. I am not sure if any of you guys check out other celebrity gossip sites but if you log onto perezhilton.com be prepared to read some nasty comments. On the website Perez posts the pictures of the girls from Nigeria's Next top Model. Many of his subscribers made rude comments saying that they are poor and fugly, etc. They all look the same. I know that this is America and we are all entitled to free speech but for some reason when I read the comments it hit me hard in my gut. You can really see the way some people think. Just think, some of these ignorant racists could be your boss or co-worker. Like I said, everyone is entitled to free speech, it just hurt a little bit to read. Nevertheless, the girls in my eyes are beautiful and I love that the modeling world transcends the archaic standard of beauty and is embracing these ebony goddesses. Stay positive....
kenyangal-why cant it be power to all human beings? there are (and we all know) beautiful white, black, brown, yellow, red whatever people! everyone has a unique looks and thats what modeling is about! i guarantee that the prettiest girl wont win. Pretty=boring! They are all beautiful but it will the stand out, maybe odd looking girl that wins. I like the girl o n the right, front row, 1st group pic, and the girl in the headshot is gorgeous! im about to go to the website right now, actually. Also, i go to perez hilton and i love the site, but hate some of the posters. A lot of them are haters so [EXPLETIVE] them. it all comes down to people who arent pleased with themselves, they are the ones who talk [EXPLETIVE].
OH GOD NO, A BUNCH OF UGLY ASS WOMAM TO REPRESENT FOR BLACK AMERICAN'S. YOU GUYS EVER NOTICE HOW MODELING AGENCY ALWAYS HAVE THE BLACKEST AND UGLIEST WOMAN AS A MODEL. WHEN I SEE THIS, I MUST SAY THAT IT DON'T REPRESENT ME. I'M BLACK, BUT NOT UGLY BLACK. I DON'T HAVE NO BIG ASS NOSE AND LIPS, A FUNNY SHAPED HEAD OR BLACK AS NIGHT SKIN. I JUST HOPE THEY STAY IN NIGERIA AND DON'T TRY TO MAKE THIS A US THING.
brownbeauty770 and latinopower i just want to say both of you are wrong....im "white" whatever that means and its wrong for both of you to stereotype that way...now i realize that latino madew some disgusting comments but comming back on the attack brownbeauty just made you sink to lation's level which is obviously below the dirt....now i think everyone should be proud of the heritage and where they come from...im proud to be white and ill be da**ed if any one tells me im wrong....back to the story i dont think that black beauty is the real beauty or the the truth i think WOMEN are the truth and real beauty and WOMEN need to unit all women of all colors and realize when you are a women that your values are the same as latino african caucasion brazilian native american whatever THANK YOU! im done
They are all very pretty!! I have to admit that I like the first group picture better than the last one though. I know it is supposed to be c'outure, but it does some of those girls no justice. For instance, the low cut bald one in the front kneeling down in the center looks waaaay better in that pic than the second one (I believe she is directly in the front with white leggings on).
LMAO @ the negative comments. Your jealousy SHOWS!
yessssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssss i been waitin fo this to happen www.myspace.com/keyajah
It's sad but no less uncommon to be hurt by stupid shytt spewed from punk byotches like "latinopower and her goorl Tivo!
Understand that and trust in what I'm saying when I tell you that those two sorry hoes are clinically mentally ill! Unfortunately there are scores of their kind not only on the internet, but in high powered positions on the outside from health care professionals to politicians the clergy to grade school kids!
One or both of them might be either or a combonation of schizophrenic, bi-polar, borderline personality disorder, severely depressed and the list goes on!
If you guys take out some time and actually kick back and research and pay close enough attention to them observing what and how they act and what they do, you might actually have some pitty on them and won't be so affected by the crap that they say!
One of the main reasons seemingly why they're gradually getting rid of all of the insane asylums is because too many people of power might be carted off up in them motha phukkas for real!
People in general have a gang of shytt to be ashamed up historically, but hell, we're all human despite words of the otherwise Honorable Elijah Mohammad!
There are just as many black, nappy headed brown eyed devils as there are blond haired blued ones! I aint forgot about the scandalous groups of non-black latinos either!
PrettyLady4Life..LOL@U! U may as well rename yourself..."StupidLady4Life". You are so lame for the comment you posted! Racism within our race is the very reason Blacks dont stick together. We are already a hated race. Why hate or make derogatory comments about your "Sistas" who have darker skin? You are just as ignorant as a racist skinhead or KKK member. And guess what? They still hate your black azz too...so what's it all for?
lets be honest here. there are some ugly light skinned women and there are some beautiful light skinned women. most light skinned women are in between.
there are some ugly medium brown skinned women and there are some beautiful medium brown skinned women. most medium brown skinned women are in between.
there are some ugly dark skinned women and there are some beautiful dark skinned women. most dark skinned women are in between.
all dark skinned women are not beautiful. why is it acceptable to say that a women is beautiful because she's dark. what would be the reaction if someone were to say that a woman is beautiful because she is light skinned? i already know the answer to that question; i just posed it to make a point.
i feel the same way about how blondes are promoted in the white community. it seems like blonde hair=beauty in the white community. i'm here to tell you that i've seen some tore-up looking blonde haired women. hair color does not=beauty. skin color does not=beauty.
equality will happen when us black people start accepting each other's uniqueness instead of trying to promote one shade of brown over the other.
there are 1-2 pretty women in this group and a couple of not so cute women in this group. i only see 1 beautiful woman. the rest are some where in between. just like all the other episodes of top model contestants, some of these girls could actually be models while the others must be related to somebody cause i don't know how the heck they got on the show. like that girl in the top pic, back row, right side. she looks like she just sucked on a lemon. not cute. dark skinned? yes. beautiful? no.
I think this isnt fair. This ISNT FAIR AT ALL. Why is it that everytime something like this happens it ALWAYS has to be either Nigerian, Kenyans or south african people that are given the opportunity to participate in such activities. Why can`t it be AFRICAS next top model like america's and canada's next top model? This is bullshit. PURE BULLSHIT, I do NOT support this show, I disgrace it. It's good that shes giving nigerian girls opportunities to fuffil they're dreams but what about the other girls? In other countries? Is it that only nigerians and south africans are beautiful? Why is it that it's ALWAYS the same countries? Why is it? This is BULLSH!T.
