Good list...just a few names missing for me...like Nonhle Thema...Sarah Ofili maybe? I wonder what their criteria is really. Thoughts?
sexiest or skinniest..more like it..Rabbish!
ReplyDeletena wah o, beauty and sexiness is only associated with being tall and skinny these days even in Africa where the curves and roundness of a woman was a much desired thing a couple of decades back but now western ideals have so infiltrated our consciousness that this list doesn't have one woman who is of average height and weight. Sexy comes in all shapes and sizes, they should just call the list "Africa's Top Ten Sexiest Models of 09."
ReplyDeleteSTUPID LIST.
ReplyDeletewhere is oluchi?? genny nko?
not that many nigerians, why now.
ReplyDeleteshade okoya, omotola, genevieve e.t.c
Good list, I honestly thought sexiest models til I reread the title. The ladies from all the countries except Liz Ahmed are hot. Liz Ahmed is a Naija chic (O Lawd, why)...on ray J of love too, can we dash her to the Russians lol. Sexy comes in all shapes and sizes but this is what sells to those who care, for the rest of us, we actually know what sexy constitutes of (beauty and brains), I need them to highlight the gorgeous women (like the Gabon model) that are doing something for their respective communities, in this day and age....THAT'S HOT!!!. Have a great weekend Linda.
ReplyDeleteThat list is whack, I agree Sarah Ofili should be on it, but completely disagree with Nonhle Thema cos she's not naturally pretty, always made up and all.
ReplyDeleteIf people think omotola or genny should be on the list, then Nonhle Thema should be on there too. There are too many sexy African women out there, and really can't be narrowed down to just one. I like the fact that the list is not full of people we already know, but people that we don't know that well. Honestly, when we start looking at East Africa, other parts of West or South Africa, there are too many gorgeous women, that Nigerian women will actually come last, not to say naija women are ugly, but I'm just saying that they are not all that either. Maybe, bcos some nigerian girls are just too overconfident, and it's a turn off.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is caviar doing on there. when she was on Ray J, I thought she was Russian, not Nigerian at all.
Most important, beauty comes in skin shades, all hair textures, and what makes you beautiful, is your intelligence, attitude, and who you are as a person.
what is this list based on? and where was this poll carried out?
ReplyDeleteAmber Rose is half Carpe Verde, she could be on the list. I agree Sarah Ofili too even though she's yet to be more in the public eye for people to know are as a person.
this list is ridiculous and should be scrapped!!and to d the chick/guy that said naija women are not all that, you need heavy duty glasses.
ReplyDeletesassycassie
@ Anony, I think u are right, naija girls are pretty but the list says sexy and i agree that naija girls go fit take last o! compared to those eastern n southern girls. We have strong beautiful looks but i dont see alot of sexiness with us. its either we over do or lack, if u get me...
ReplyDelete@ 3rd Anony, how is Shade Okoya, Genevieve or even Omotola sexy?
@ Anony, I dont knw if Amber is sexy or sleezy at times, but she fits sha. As for Sarah Ofili, ikechukwu's babe, abi, she's very pretty j.lo-esque, we are yet to see more of her though.
I have my heavy duty glasses on. Nigerian women are not all that, but they always think they are the hottest thang, for some reason. If you want to see beautiful, sexiest, hottest African women, go outside Nigeria, and you will be amazed. I've met different beautiful African women, and I will say Nigerian women will probably be the least on the list.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 9:57pm, if Naija women are so bad, what the hell are you doing reading a blog run by one. Please vanish.
ReplyDeleteyuck! yuck! Wat did u cal 'em?? Sexiest kini?? Except for three faces there that would pass for pretty, I can't understand how to describe the rest! But Sexy?? Nah, that just ain't an option!!
ReplyDelete@ anon 5:15am, You are obviously one of the ones I'm referring to, bcos you just confirmed it. I know it's sometimes hard to accept truth, but it will also help not to be in denial.
ReplyDeletewhy are all of them skinny we are talking about the hottest women not the skinniest. this is africa we must embrace or curves and round african bodies...i really disagree with this
ReplyDeleteThe Nigerian girl Elizabeth is a pornography actor,for me she portrays a terrible image of Nigeria and indeed Africa on that list.
