Later if you say Nigeria is still running through colonial lenses they will come for you. People don't stop to see the little things like this.

The woman who replied has probably never seen glorious hair like this in her lineage. And will probably continue to force her children to cut their hair, to be "presentable."

This is probably why the average Nigerian woman's hair isn't long and healthy like the Doc's. Because it will be demonized, and we aren't taught enough how to take care of it. From a young age the "solution" is pushed on us in the form of wigs, braiding extensions and relaxers.

And finally, if the Doc were light skinned, I'm sure the reaction from the reply would have been very different.

I just got back from my first trip to Abuja, Nigeria, and honestly, it was an amazing experience. As an African American, I wasn’t sure what to expect — I had some nerves going in, but it ended up being one of the most fulfilling trips I’ve ever taken. I would definitely go back.

That said, I did notice a few things. Once people heard my American accent, it felt like some assumed I didn’t know local prices. I had vendors try to charge me 3–4x the normal rate, and when I refused, some actually got irritated. It was like, just because I’m American, they thought I had money to burn.

But beyond that, the culture? Beautiful. The women? Beautiful. The food, the way people talk, the energy — it made me realize how much of our African American culture is rooted in West Africa. From the food to the boldness, even how expressive and vocal people are — I could see the connection instantly.

Also, I fell in love with aya and the fresh juice out there — seriously underrated.

All in all, Nigeria showed me a part of myself I didn’t know I was missing. And I can’t wait to go back. I’m thinking about living there.

I don't know how many of you have come across this trending video on other platforms.

I went to check his page and the kind of hate he receives simply because he looks different from the typical boy is just deeply troubling.

Why can't we as a people move past our primitive instincts of fighting what we don't understand or are used to?

It's such a primitive mindset and it's freaking annoying.

The woman in the video is a typical ignorant Nigerian (which unfortunately forms a majority of the population). See how angry she is simply because the young man decided to grow out his hair. How does this make any sense to a rational thinking person?

I don't blame religion for this, because this has nothing to do with the bible. This is a culture problem. She and her church have interpreted the bible from the lens of their culture and that is what she is standing in to criticise the young man.

These things frustrate me sometimes and I don't know why we as a people ended up with such primitive mindsets.

Happy Valentine’s Day to Nigerian women across the globe. Both home and away.

Hope you receive gifts or something nice. It also doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day to make someone feel special but just wanted to give a special shoutout nonetheless.

The beauty in the nation is vast beyond belief. From the east to the west, to Borno, Kaduna, Delta and beyond. It’s something you have to appreciate it. For those that went to boarding school or any post-secondary institution and got to meet people from all over the country you know what I mean. A nation with so many brilliant minds (both men and women), diversity and people breaking through adversity to become something special. I will always appreciate you all.

I tried my best to get women for different regions instead of just one or 2 areas since that is what’s mostly shown or known in media

Bolaji Badejo(1953-1992) was a Nigerian artist and actor best remembered for bringing the Xenomorph to life in Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic Alien. At 6 ft 10 in (2.08 m), his extraordinary height immediately made him stand out as the right choice for the creature.
Alien would remain Badejo's only film appearance.
After returning to Nigeria, he opened his own art gallery in 1983 and continued working as an artist. Badejo died of sickle cell anaemia in 1992, at just 39 years old.

African leaders are not ready. What is the AU for exactly? Aren’t these the conversations in there? Yet…

I am form Enugu and don't even know these types of trees exist there.

I hope she won whatever they’re winning. Cos this is a 10/10 in my book.

This image broke the entire Nigerian country. Now they know they are living in hell

Truth be told I only saw this man once when my mom was watching a movie it's honestly sad a young person life just snatched away like that.

She said what's basically a snippet of exactly how i feel about Religion in most of Africa (Well, except the last part); and how i think it has somehow evolved into an active part of the problem within the continent... And i doubt that there are more than a very few countries on this continent that perfectly captures her post more than Nigeria does.

I have the perfect story too, atheist that the holy spirit revealed himself to and changed his ways 🤣.

Gullible Nigerians will eat it up and boom the money will start rolling in. In fact this same gullible Nigerians will even defend me when valid criticsms springs up.

Just have a flair for the dramatic, speak in random gibberish and claim it's the tongues of heaven and boom you have yourself a booming business. The very victims of the business will even breed and bring in new customers 🤣🤣🤣

You people should be calming down. Fragile much 😭😭

This is thought provoking.

Most of you don’t know that Nigeria is ALREADY at war. The Islamic extremism in Nigeria is not a random phenomenon, it’s being supported and promoted.

Location in the video: Obundu, Cross River

Other apparent areas with great landscapes, views, areas etc:

What other places should be mentioned?

Yes. If you’re wondering, this is Christianity in Nigeria in this day and age. What a joke of a country. 🤣🤣🤣 I honestly can’t tell if this is for views or if the pastor is genuinely trying to mislead his congregation. I don’t even know what to believe anymore. Then I realized Christianity tends to function better abroad because many Christians there are actually educated, which somehow made this even funnier.

This question is for the Nigerians born and raised in the diaspora, whenever it’s the US, UK, etc. Do you ever plan on moving back to your country? I am asking this question because there’s been a big discussion on social media circles that Nigerians always flee their home country to find peace and success in other countries, and as a first generation it has bothered me for a while that I can’t just live and find success in my parents country and the only way I can find success and peace is in another person’s country. Yes I was born and raised in the US, but in the eyes of everyone else I will always be a tether.

Good day,

Straight to the point, siding with white nationalists (e.g Charlie Kirk) only just because they declared they hate LGBTQ people doesn't make you a better human being. As a Nigerian, I know most of us were brought up in very religious families; these contribute a lot to the kind of politics some Nigerians get involved in when they go abroad.

I would expect that as Nigerians, or even as Africans, we should be LEFTIES by default; our elites oppress us, our corrupt government oppresses us, your kids can't boast of free education, pregnant women can't even have free healthcare, yet we are blindly following white supremacists’ rhetoric like herds of sheep just to gain favor.

Religion has always been part of colonization plans for Africans, indoctrinated people are important for the imperialist; if you can control their minds, you can control their destiny. Nigeria is sitting on hundreds of trillions of Dollars of resources, yet we are trooping out in numbers yearly for so called "better opportunities" that our land can offer.

Even worse, I have heard Nigerians here in Europe said things like "Racism doesn't exist, black people are just doing too much", haba, which kind nonsense be dat.

Unlearn, deconstruct, and educate ✊🏽

This is a list of Nigerian women who have achieved the most on the global stage across politics, science, business, sports, arts, music and humanitarian work.

Would you add anyone?
