sorry Chioma Chukwuka, your weave is looking too damn fake. what is the recent trend in Naija these days with hair that looks sooooooo damn fake. EW.

@ Alicia, what makes you think the weave is fake? My own issue is that she didn't have to pour the hair in front, the attention should have been on the dress,not hair.

Alicia says... said...

LOLOLOL!!!! WHAT KIND OF QUESTION WAS THAT? A WEAVE IS FAKE BECAUSE "DUH!!" ITS NOT YOUR HAIR! or are you thinking Indian, Chinese, Brazilian. maybe i should change my choice in words....

why the hell does Chioma Chukwuka look so artificial? the weave may be "real" but it looks like hair i see on my old baby dolls and not a human being.

im talking about how artificial women (and especially some naija women) look these days. clownish makeup, too short and too tight dresses, brazilian and indian weave all over the place. YUK.

Bisola said...

is there like a click in nollywood? cos i see the same ole girls in different movies. Monalisa acts in Nse's movie, Nse acts in monalisa's movie. And this same pple feature in emem isong's movies. Am not saying there is anything wrong with it. Am just saying what i noticed.

Noella said...

Alicia I agree with u..it appears ppl are going mad with the hideous tresses, tight ill fitted clothes,and scary gory make up ...I sense so much desperation in the overall dressing, and appearance of all these women in Nigeria...it almost borders on lunacy...when will ppl in Nija understand that LESS IS MORE!!!....grown women dressing like masquerades...all this talk of brazilian hair..brazilian weave is one of the coarsest and most difficult hair to maintain and is so cheap here in the US.....wearing weaves is not a status symbol for goodness sakes!!! and frankly it has been terribly abused in Nigeria!!

Bee said...

Alicia i'm with you jare....and it looks like 10/12/14 inches are out of the game. must be 22 inches and up.....pssst

still trying to understand how they manage the hair in that lagos heat

defacto said...

@anon 5.44 DAMN!!!! i'm laughing so hard at your comment, maybe you're right. i'm sure alicia will show up soon lol

Alicia says... said...

LOL, YOU CAN SCREAM AS MUCH AS YOU WANT! thats why i said most women and put Nigerian women in parenthesis because their/our own is different.

YES, wearing a weave in Nigeria is a status symbol. and the reason why i laid emphasis on Nigerian women is because their own no get part two. look at Beyonce, she may wear a lot of weave and makeup, but its TASTEFULLY done. has anyone seen Stephanie Okereke and Ini Edo and their weaves of recent? TOO MUCH! not only that but movies like Pleasure Boosters, Mirror of Life, and some other Nollywood movies where they wear these hideous lace wigs, too tight clothes, and the worst makeup ever. heavy green eyeshadow, with too much rosy blush, with a bright, bold, and glossy red lip. YUK.
and you can say its just the movies, but im seeing it on the red carpets too.


CAN WE GO BACK TO THE 90s PLEASE?! that was the peak of the BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN.

Spanisio said...

I don't want to be judgmental based on comments i have seen but Nigerians are very stylish. My best friend is Nigerian and i am Spanish and she is super fun and beautiful. She supplies me the local traditional wear and i also love your skin. But i really think you guys copy fashion o hard and add so much extras leave the extras and be moderate... The hair is too much and make up is oily.

Anonymous said...

i agree with alicia. and @anon insulting alicia the problem is that beyonce and co wear their weaves well most of the time but nigerians make weaves look like horse's hair. they make it look very artificial and ugly. 22 inches of hair will look horrendous on anybody even inidians who have waist length hair cut it. chioma looks horrible not that she knows what suits her cuz she always has the worst hairstyles and outfits. nobody looks good i'm sorry to say.

Guys y r u on chioma's case. Let her be abeg. Na d one wey her money fit buy be that and have u guys seen d oda girls weave? I think chiomas is better just that she didnt do justice to the styling. I just think the regulars on linda's blog dont like chioma.#my opinion

Noella said...

sideeye or anon or whatever u call yourselves..the bitterness u are spewing confirms the saying that OLD WOMEN CRINGE WHEN DRY BONES ARE MENTIONED IN A CONVERSATION...u are a truly pathetic ignoramus...u are so bitter and so consumed with vile and hate just bcos i commented on weaves...how pathetic, just bcos your life and very existence depends on weaves ..u are literally losing ur sorry mind...eberem na emere gi!!...Good grief I have never seen anyone GO SO CRAZY over something so trivial...who told u brazilian weave is close to retouched Nija hair..are you in an alternate universe???..spewing out stuff you know nothing about...u must be the only naija girl on the planet whose retouched hair looks like a brazilian weave..brazilian weave that is so kinky with tight curls..all my precious nija sisters that retouch their hair come out with bone straight silky hair...get your ignorant facts right baby girl!!!if you are so defensive about weaves and brazilian hair..contact me and i will send you enough brazilian, malaysian, indonesian, venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Indian, Puerto Rican, Liberian, and name it any kind of hair that is not NIGERIAN, to knock urself out, and last u a lifetime.....my sweetheart pls get a life....bcos u truly sound so desperate and pathetic...WOW I TRULY HIT A NERVE HMMM BEAUTIFUL, I AM ECSTATIC!!!!

Alicia says... said...

mind you, I have nothing against Chioma, i actually like her, but she seems to have a problem in the weave department. did anyone see the weave she wore to Mike Eze's traditional wedding? those are the type of horrible lace wigs I am referring too. it looks so fake to the point where its no longer attractive.

and did anyone spot "Uchay" she is looking good.

Abeg Linda is Joseph Benjamin taken please let me knw i am interested o. Who is his girlfrd o and if he doesnt so i can start plotting my way to his heart.

Dee dee said...

I don't wear weaves because I'd rather spend money on the hair growing out of my head. However the point of a weave is (or should be) that it looks as natural as possible. So I agree with Alicia. Some ladies need to tone down the excessive fakery...it's just not attractive.

Noella said...

Monalisa actually looked nice for once in the weave dept..it wasn't falling around all over the place...if u are beautiful u are beautiful..weaves dont do much to enhance..in fact they often tend to age one quite a bit..i attended a wedding here in Los Angeles yesterday, and the ladies that stood out looking edgy had short and sassy beautiful youthful hair cuts...was quite impressed...

Anonymous said...

look at chioma's hair and Nse's hair..one girl carry water!! boju boju!!!

*ajalahtravel* said...

Chioma has very full and beautiful armpit length hair....i still don't understand why she refused to style her own hair but rather chose to wear that rag on her head. On second thought you can't really blame her most nigerian hair salons know how to do three things: RETOUCH, BRAID and FIX.

In defense of Alicia, Noella et al, these are Nigerian actresses being discussed on a blog that is predominantly about Nigerians and their social/political lives ergo people will tend to say "this Nigerians" etc etc. So it isn't simple a blatant attack on Nigerians, if it was Beyonce wearing a jacked up weave (which will never happen), Alicia would rip her too. Alicia is an equal opportunity abuser, whether it is Beyonce, Kelly, Naomi, Tyra OR Stephanie Okereke, Genevieve, Omotola, Ini or Kate Henshaw Nuttal, she will speak the truth from her perspective.

Chioma Chukwuka has tried but she hasn't succeeded in developing that "it" thing that makes a person come across as a star. She has tried but that finesse has eluded her and to tell the truth, she is a far better actress than Mona Lisa Chinda. Let's be honest, the weave is JACKED. She could have done a better job. And while we...well, I am being honest, it is true that Nigerian women as a whole as seen on the societal pages of magazines are seemingly trying to detach from their culture and embarrassing the west more and more in style. I have had NON Nigerians ask me upon watching many of our movies, why Nigerian women don't seem to like wearing their native clothes or natural hair? I've been asked why the names in the films are not native names but extreme forms of English names UNLESS it is plot line set in the village? I've been asked why some go as far as trying to sound British, American anything but Nigerian especially when they play "rich" people.

Whenever I go home, I am surprised at how many Nigerians at home want to sling Americanism at me when all I want to do is speak my native dialect, pidgen and in my Nigerian accent. And I've had people doubt that I live in New York because I don't go around speaking with an American accent which I can do without anyone detecting my Nigerian accent.

I'm sorry to say that it appears that SOME of us (before I'm accused of casting generalities about) are trying to assimilate into a culture that we don't even live in just so that we feel above the rest of the people; so we can hand out this perception that we are better of, better educated, better placed on the rungs of society. We are going too far. I've gone home and seen children with parents from the same tribal group NOT speak the language, speaking only English and I am afraid that in 50 years, Nigerian might be an English ONLY nation because so many people seem to lack pride in their culture, tradition and language. I asked my cousin what our your children's names, she starts with Ann, Jane and Keisha. I asked what are their native names, she says she doesn't remember because they don't use "those" names. She fall my hand no be small. She and her husband are from the same place, living there not in Lagos or Abuja or PH and the kids do not speak one word of their native dialect. What a blinking shame.

Sha, I didn't mean to go on so long. If I am wrong in my assertions, make una no vex o, to err is human, to forgive is divine.

Peace:)

@ ChiChiLuv,i agree with you,when you put it coherently like that. Also Aliica i grudgingly admire because even though i remain strong on the fact that a little positivity about people just helps one's mindset about one's own life,Alicia never fails to back up her argument intelligently. So much less than i can say for Noella the "americana ranter". I am in total support of a person being entitled to their opinions what i hate is the constant "Nigerians" dribble that constantly comes up at every discussion. there is an African saying that goes "it is how you carry your egg that your neighbour will carry it for you"(paraphrased). We need to keep our criticisms about individuals to just that. Nigeria is too large a country to have some commenter out of their own complexes cast aspersions on ALL. I love weaves but i have tons of friends who don't. A good number of them Nigerian too.
As for Beyounce and them not having hair faux pas', check mediatakeout from time to time. i have seen a picture of Beyounce with some lifted pasty lace wig(i will find the link and paste it here when i do). Rihanna gets away with those neither here nor there length red hairs bacause she is Riri. If Omotola did it.....hmmmm.i feel you on national pride, thats exactly what i'm on about. when we start to respect our nation, we will instil a sense of pride in our children and it will be as "funky" to speak a local dialect as it is to speak say Portuguese or Greek.
Rebranding starts from the individual. let us rebrand our mindsets about who we are. I hope i've made sense.
