linda!!!did you just say i should go and pick my own hair? well my hair is on my head.
linds u look too pretty. i even forgot it was u. i think u look better in weaves. so never wear braids again, ever. they don't fit u. weaves do! u don't even look nigerian. i like that your dressing is also better and improved. mwah. son some man will come running. lemme send the picture to my cousin.lol.
@anon 11:51...forgive me...lol, i meant to write weave :-)
@thank u Preye...oh btw, i dress well in jeans..i think. it's the dress thing i'm not very good at...yet!
@ Preye- She doesn't look Nigerian? SMH. What does it mean to look Nigerian? Linda (for the record), I love to show my colleagues your picture as an example of what Naija girls look like because one of them had the gall to say I don't look African...I went ahead and showed him that we indeed have beautiful women on our continent.
Preye, your whole mentality is messed up man. Telling her she doesn't look Nigerian is an insult to yourself really. Uggh sorry Linda, comments like that make me so mad. I hate when people say it to me and I hate when I hear it.
lol@ anon 11:51am
chei! this one na serious PR...well, what can i say? thats much hair for much PR...HAHAHHAHAHA...wel,, as u said, you should be made an ambasador, that way, you will even become a better sales girl, that am sure of..hahahahhahahah

it's so sad that not looking nigerian is a compliment. as in we know that we know that looking 'awayian' is better than us nigerians. For someone who has been guilty of using that comment the past, I think it should give us cause for pause. Nigerian women are one of the most stylish; we should in our own little way stop using that saying as well as gently teaching others not to use it. I do agree with Preye, you look pretty Linda.
Really love the weavon!Too bad I'm on lowcut.
You actually look great!
i don't know what there is to be insulted about if someone says you don't look nigerian because people from each of the regions in africa have in most cases looks distinct to the area, for example, i can spot an ethiopian in a crowd and if i happen to speak to a person who said they were from the region and didn't have the physical features characteristic of those from the region, i.e. olive skins tone, curly hair/straight hair, long neck, long limbs, prominent eyes, i would say to them that they don't look ethiopian. What is insulting about that?
my father is nigerian, my mother is eritea, i lived in nigeria from my birth to the age of 18. i don't speak much with a nigerian accent but i do speak my father's dialect and pidgin like an indigene but until i open my mouth at nigerian occasions, people don't think i belong there. when i speak, the first thing is you don't look nigerian, do i take offense? NO, their comment doesn't not make me less nigerian, it doesn't not define or negate my experience. Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa etc each tribe has a look whether it's tribal markings, shape of the head, skin tone or general attitude etc so please let's not kid ourselves.
if you find that condescending without the person saying it in a condescending manner then the issue lies with your self esteem.
it doesn't have to be an insult and it doesn't have to be a compliment just a statement of fact from the person offering the opinion.
naija people, una too dey read meanings into things and taking yourselves too damn seriously, please!
how about the hair God gave you? i don't know how nigerian women or any woman living in any area that's perpetually hot can wear this thing on their head, my goodness gracious but to each his own, abi? can't be bothered with it because i don't have the patience for all that fussing, don't want to spend my good hard earned money that could be saved for better use for disposable hair when God has given me perfectly good hair on my head and besides, you keep wearing that crap, your hair eventually thins out if it doesn't fall out.
carry on, though ladies some of y'all look cute with it and some need to go back to the drawing board, Nollywood actresses i.e. mercy johnson, ini edo, uche jombo, chioma akpotha etc do you hear me so? lwkmd
@chichiluv, lets not pretend we dont know what we're talking about here. There are certainly occasions where someone can say you look different and don't look nigerian which is ok especially e.g. if you have a distinct egyptian (think Shwa arabs in bornu state) look which is not common in nigeria. But to pretend nigerians don't use it in the same sentence when they are trying to compliment one is being pretentious. gushing about a person's good looks and stating that they don't look nigerian when in fact Linda looks like a vast majority of Nigerians falls into the second category.
Linda u couldn't have done better than this even if they paid u for this ad. LOL. Good PR... Maybe this is a divine revelation, u may want to start ur own PR firm. abi, how u check am?
@CHICHILUV---
You obviously reside in your own bubble.
ANYBODY with tha basic modicum of sense,and no insult intended would know that PREYES comment is a f*cked up one,borne out of that "anything away/from abroad/foreign/american/oyinbo'ish etc etc" is better.
If i see a very light skinned,pointy nosed,long haired,100% NAIJA BABE,are you telling me it's okay to say she does not look NIGERIAN?BECAUSE NAIJAS ARE ONLY MEANT TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY??
HAVE YOU GOT ANY IDEA HOW RUDE AND CONDESCENDING THAT IS TO NOT ONLY THAT PERSON BUT ALL OTHERS WHO IN YOUR OPINION MIGHT FIT INTO THE "NAIJA" LOOK???
My mum has grey eyes,is dark skinned,and is HUNDRED PERCENT naija,me and my sisters have hair that defy the "afro" concept.Long,wavy,we get jokes everytime that we can make a killing shorning our locks and selling etc..and i can tell you how "PISSING OFF" it is when people come up to any of us and start asking the STUPID questions with an expectant look in their eyes that says they want to hear us proclaim some "awayness" in our blood.
THEN when we say we are 100%naija,they actually WANT to convince US that we MUST be mixed with something,AS NIGERIANS DON'T HAVE THE KIND OF HAIR WE HAVE,OR THE COLOR OF EYES MY MUM HAS.
HOW in Gods name does Linda NOT look Nigerian?Linda looks like a very average Nigerian girl,a good-looking one,yes,BUT very much so NIGERIAN.
PREYE,pray do tell..how do NIGERIANS look,since in YOUR books it's not a word you want to use to qualify "TOO PRETTY"
YOU NEED TO BE TAKEN TO A CELE CHURCH TO HAVE THE DEMONS OF COLONIAL MENTALITY AND INFERIORITY COMPLEX CAST OUT OF YOU!!!
SHAME ON YOU!
@ Preye what a retarded comment...so Nigerians are ugly abi?You need a new brain...
Linda you look nice.You also should try rocking your own real hair once in a while
@ Chichi luv a primary one pupil will read Preye's comment and will immediately know what Preye meant.
Nice photos Linda....
Alicia says...
I'm loving these comments! most of you are right! Preye's comment is just wrong and i agree with omo-iwo that he needs that mentality casted out of him, ASAP!
@chichiLOVE....get your head out of the clouds, really. you should already know when most people use "you're so pretty" and "you dont look Nigerian" in the same sentence/statement, they mean it in THAT way.
even i get those silly comments from Americans cause i have light skin, straight nose, dont have an accent etc... so they are convinced im not African/Nigerian until they hear my name. mscheeeeewwww
ahhhh, but most Americans are ignorant about the world outside of America though. :D
Na wa oooooooooooooh.Wetin Preye talk now we una dey rake like this.You dont look Nigerian could mean she looks like a black American
100% natural hair from the shrines of Mumbai(Bombay).
by the way, you folks talking about people saying that you don't look Nigerian and you explaining....why do you have to explain to shallow and ignorant fools who's idea of Africa are people living in trees and flies gouging out of their eyes? please, save your breath and look for better thinking people and i don't care if they are your friends or lovers or people you are tripping for as far as I'm concerned they are type A...IDIOTS and i meant every Goddamn word i wrote.
exactly anon 8.37. that's what i meant. she looks african american. ok lemme say it agin. see how ppl (OMO-IWO and co.) want to crucify me oh, and i dunno why u r so angry, even swearing.nigerians! linds u look too pretty. i even forgot it was u. i think u look better in weaves. so never wear braids again, ever. they don't fit u. weaves do! u look AFRICAN AMERICAN. i like that your dressing is also better and improved. mwah. son some man will come running. lemme send the picture to my cousin.lol. and FYI i am not a boy.
Previous Anon..."she looks like a black american"??? The ignorance shocks me sometimes.
Biko Linda, you are a gorgeous Nigerian woman. The uproar is not to say you are not beautiful, its the annoying comment that Preye and others said. People of African descent have diverse features and it is a shame that we are just as ignorant as white people in knowing this.
@ChiChi...I get your point, but you are half Nigerian, half Eritrean...of course someone can say you don't look Nigerian, you have the East African features...that is alright for people to say. You can't understand how annoying it is when a 100% Naija person is told... "O, you don't look Nigerian"
I want to cuss people out that say oo, you look like a black american and not Nigerian???. What does that even mean? Uggh this topic just grinds my gears, it really does.
But lets not take away from the fact that Linda hun, you are gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. You are an example to people here that Africans are gorgeous.
This is for all of you who are saying I need to get my head out of the clouds, you need to get your head out of your collective behinds because what Linda Ikej has created here is an open forum for DIVERSE OPINIONS and if I choose to play devil's advocate (I'm sure I will need Cele, right?) in putting another spin to Preye's statement then I am well within my right after all there are many ways to skin a cat, aren't there?
I have found that people cannot disagree here without sinking down into the gutter, using curse words, calling people demon plagued etc.
I will say it again and if you all that disagree don't like it, let's agree to disagree - YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE "you don't look Nigerian" AS AN INSULT NOR AS A COMPLIMENT EITHER, IT MOST LIKELY JUST A STATEMENT OF FACT, A GENERAL OBSERVATION, RESPOND OR DON'T RESPOND. Everything no have to be overanalyzed, everthing doesn't not have to be a fight.
In my own opinion, Nigerians and other people of the African continent (Namibian, South African etc) as well as other parts of the world (Chinese, Indians etc) do have certain look that can detected.
@ Preye your case is a lost cause o!AH!!she looks "African American"....LMAO!!How different are full blooded African Americans from a full blooded Naija...Ignorance is a disease and you need HELP!!!!
@ ChichiLuv , it doesnt take a rocket scientist to understand the dumb comment Preye made.Let me break it down to you, Preye's comment in plain language is "oh wonderful Miss Linda Ikeji, you look so gorgeous you cannot be Nigerian,because we Nigerians are not beautiful"
LNGKM, you guys have made me laugh well today. Preye don really buy market. Glad you have a sense of humour cus dis one you come replaced 'dont look like Nigerian' to 'look black american', you just dey fall ya hand..lool.
// Preye said: linds u look too pretty. i even forgot it was u. i think u look better in weaves. .. u don't even look nigerian. i like that your dressing is also better and improved. mwah. son some man will come running....//
LOL,so we can deduce from her statement that Linda didnt look pretty before oh and she had a bad dress sense and looked Nigerian??
all me sha want to know is....
"HOW EXACTLY DOES A NIGERIAN LOOK OOO?" or make I rephrase my question:
@Preye: Do you look Nigerian?
Nna na wah ooo.....Linda you look like "a Half Caste"...hehehehe
ok fine linda looks better than a nigerian, whatever! we r not the prettiest so if someone tells u, u don't look nigerian u have to feel happy. i feel happy wen someone tells me that, that doesn't mean i don't feel happy if they tell me i look nigerian. even americans feel happy wen they say u look exotic, they don't take it as an insult. i know most of u also feel happy u r just all hypocrites. whatever. nigerians have to make every little thing an issue. i dunno what it is. u cannot say nigerians don't have a look, even russians have a look, brazilians have a look, indians have a look. if u think i meant it as an insult good for u. linda i have told u how i feel and i am happy u said thank u. it's not a big deal. there is so much anger in the comments i'm reading here. BTW african americans also have a look.
LOL, Omoge: ah ah, you wan start where Preye end? Someone told us that
'half caste' kwa is a racist term.
I know I joke too much but that one I am serious o. Thats what they said.
I know its different in Naija sha.
:)
Anonymous 3.40: keep your breakdown and your instigation view point to yourself, I ask you?! Thank you to you wey be rocket scientist. The point I am making which you have failed to see or consider with an open mind is that it can also be taken another way besides the negative that people are insisting on taking it.
You must have caught yourself trying to think you are clarifying something to me LOL LOL LMBAOROTFL!
Linda, you look igbotic LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLollllll
CHICHILUV---
LIFE MUST BE REALLY NICE AND FLUFFY AND OBLIVIOUS IN YOUR WORLD...YOU KNOW THE WORLD IN YOUR PEA-SIZED BRAIN.
I AM SURE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO GET ECSTATIC WHEN TOLD "YOU DON'T LOOK NIGERIAN"--BUT COME ON HERE AND CLAIM TO PLAY SOME DEVILS ADVOCATE--MY BIG FAT YORUBA ASS!!!!
MOST OF US HAVE MET YOUR TYPE--OVER AND OVER AGAIN--AND TRUST,THE SMART ONES AMONGST US CAN DISCERN YOUR FOOLISHNESS FROM A MILE OFF...
SHE SAYS:
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE "you don't look Nigerian" AS AN INSULT NOR AS A COMPLIMENT EITHER, IT MOST LIKELY JUST A STATEMENT OF FACT, A GENERAL OBSERVATION, RESPOND OR DON'T RESPOND. "
NAIVETE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER--AND THE IRONY OF THAT STATEMENT HAS HAD ME WONDERING HOW "SPECIAL" YOU NEED TO BE,NOT TO KNOW THAT SOMETHINGS ARE MOST DEFINATELY MEANT AS EITHER COMPLIMENTS OR BACKHANDED INSULTS WRAPPED IN FALSE SWEETNESS/INTRIGUE.
AS FOR YOU PREYE---I CAN SEE YOU ARE BEYOND REDEMPTION AND JUST A CLOWN---
SO CHICHILUV---KISS MY BIG FAT IWO ASS...
YOU DON'T LOOK NIGERIAN INDEED.
HOW LOCAL IS THAT???????
Alicia says...
preye, and the truth comes out at last! I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!!
inferiority complex is a TERRIBLE thing to have. ITS UTTERLY DISGUSTING THAT YOU WOULD SAY SUCH! and here chichiluv was here defending you. HISSSSSSS.
and who is a hypocrite? speak for yourself. we are not ALL mentally enslaved like your sorry behind.
Brazilians have a look? LOLOL! ignorance is truly a disease. Brazil has black folks (former slaves) Portuguese descendants and the native Brazilians that live in the Amazon. you are very ignorant to use Brazil for your useless and baseless argument. hahaha. and did you say Black Americans have a distinct look? black americans are very diverse, there is no such thing as a "distinct look" especially when you are talking about black americans. Chinese and Indian people, maybe, but black americans? do you hear yourself at all?
you really make me sick.
I think this character called Preye is actually joking.With the last comment she made she has to be joking!!It just has to be a joke.
@ ChichiLuv...huh?ha!ha!ha...are you for real?Lol!!!
LWKMD..been LOL ever since! OMO-IWO na so! LMAO
OMO IWO - Applaud for yourself! You think you have put me in my place, abi? LOL!
You must have low self esteem because the only way you can be notice is to be scream at people in order to be heard, but it rather unfortunate that when you do scream nothing intelligent is heard except your glaring lack of intellgence and that only further cements the fact that you cannot hold a basic discussion.
You have no civility in you and hav no clud that in polite society even one that exist online, one must sometimes learn to agree to disagree even on points one might feel very strongly.
Do the world a favor and take your bitter, depressed, unattractive fat Yoruba ass to the gym, but it is rather unfortunate that that will not help with your character.
Maybe you should just opt for lobotomy?
And while you are at it, why don't you stop telling people you are Yoruba because it is indeed bringing shame to the very fine, classy, gracious Yoruba men and women of my acquaintance.
Girl, sit down!!!
Anonymous 1.02am - Yes, I am for real! Are you?
I am ready for each and everyone of you until Linda decides to just simply delete this entire posting. Y'all don't know me, today, this week, this month, this year, I have your time. I refuse to be bullied by individuals who cannot simple either ignore comments they don't agree with OR state their views without resorting to abuse OR agree to disagree and let everyone have their say.
BRING IT!BRING IT! BRING IT!
@chichiluv, maybe you should take the advice you try to give others. go back to your first post where (without being provoked) you began by insulting those with a different view from yours, telling them that must be because they have 'low self esteem'. strange that you think that should endear you to others.
Physician heal thine self; you need your own medicine.
Here's what you just said @2.59pm "...You have no civility in you and hav no clud that in polite society even one that exist online, one must sometimes learn to agree to disagree even on points one might feel very strongly"
Hmm Drama-rama LOL!
@ Mena, really?..Oops! My bad for saying "Half Caste"...Linda I meant you look "Mixed". Are you Bi-racial? Hehehehe...
*Grabbing my bowl of popcorn and sitting intently in front of my computer...munching*
mhmhm...preye she looks somalian...ode gus gus
chichi luv is on fire! hey mehn me i'll be watching out for more comments oh. HAHHAHAH!this is too funny. just because a few ppl have chosen to take a simple comment by preye (who to an extent is right) to heart. good luck to u guys. chichi finish them biko!
chichilove are u 4 real? seriously.....i have seen people who left nigeria at the age of 15to US and UK..they r in their early thirties now and they still have their naija accent well well....and as expected can switch to britico or americana accent. So dont even go their.
@ Omoge Ibo: LOOOL, my biracial friend said its 'half cart', acc to him, he grew up in Oshodi and 'half caste' was too ajebutter for that time ;)
I am joining you in that popcorn will bring some moet along sef.!LOL
Linda: u sef just quiet dey publish dey go. Answer question na? are you half cart, half caste, black, afro american, somalian american or you just dont look Nigerian?
Infact lets use it in a sentence: 'who looks more Nigerian? Oluchi or Agbani? Genevieve or Mercy? LOL
Hugs all
Mena
@Mena...lol, I'm Linda. I'm enjoying this so much...and learning too...
Keep it coming ladies...lol
Kiky my dear, I got my passport, visa, ticket, boarding pass went there, came back and bought a return ticket! Too late for that advice in particular but thank you, sha. No wahala.

Anonymous 4.33
I put a different spin on what was said and I was insulting people with my view point? I didn't realize it was an insult to have a different opinion which mind you I put out there without using abusive language towards anyone. So if for instance someone states that a person has liver cancer and I say it is possible that is from drinking, I am insulting them? I am not stating a fact, abi?
I stated to NOONE IN PARTICULAR, TO NO ONE DIRECTLY that if someone takes offense to someone saying the person doesn't look like the region they claim, that might be signs of low self esteem, that na insult, shebi? Okay o, you don fall my hand be dat even but e never close my mouth so no wahala. No vex if you dey insulted, biko. And I will go check that bible passage for reference on my way to CELE or maybe I should stop by Olumba or maybe Redeem will be my best choice, who knows but essentially I might possibly need Jesus and/or a therapist after this ends, whenever it does! LOL
My dear, you are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine askwed as it may seem to all the people coming at me. It's all good, a healthy and fiery debate is always good. It gives the mind a good work out, I say.
Nwannu, who wan carry cement block knock me for my head next? LOL.
linda looks east african to me, personally but before i catch fire make i go lwkmd
Alicia says...
HELLO!!!! IS EVERYONE IGNORING WHAT PREYE SAID!!!
"ok fine linda looks better than a nigerian, whatever! we r not the prettiest so if someone tells u, u don't look nigerian u have to feel happy. i feel happy wen someone tells me that, that doesn't mean i don't feel happy if they tell me i look nigerian. even americans feel happy wen they say u look exotic, they don't take it as an insult. i know most of u also feel happy u r just all hypocrites. whatever. nigerians have to make every little thing an issue. i dunno what it is. u cannot say nigerians don't have a look, even russians have a look, brazilians have a look, indians have a look. if u think i meant it as an insult good for u. linda i have told u how i feel and i am happy u said thank u. it's not a big deal. there is so much anger in the comments i'm reading here. BTW african americans also have a look."
SO NOW WE KNOW WHAT HE MEANT!!! ITS SO OBVIOUS! and here chichiluv was preaching! lol
90% of the time when someone says you dont look Nigerian and you look good in the same statement, it should be taken one way.

hahahhah....no b small tin oh. This has to b d funniest disscusion/comments i have seen online in a while.
Lets just end it...Linda we have decided that u r not Nigerian so pack up and go to whatever country u r from. LWKMD.(I have not laughed like dis in a while)
