Hey peeps!

NIGERIA IS 53! WOOOHOOO!!!

Okay....I know a lot of people will say "why so excited, we aren't seeing anything to be excited about?" . Nigeria's 53, so what?

Well, truth be told, it's easy to see different things to dislike about Nigeria such as the problematic clause supporting  'Under age marriage' bill  passed.....now that's really not fair...I mean, that's the best bit of life when you're free and have no cares in the world ...why rob a child of that????......amongst other things such as corruption, poor water and power supply, insecurity, low employment rates and so on.

There is however several things I love about Nigeria.....like how the governors in several states are trying their best to make them easier to live in by implementing free education policies at pre secondary school level (though I wonder where they fished out some illiterate teachers), improving on power supply, better road network and transportation. If they keep this up and maintain them, then there'll be more things to be excited about.

Be that as it may......HAPPY INDEPENDENCE, NIGERIA!

........so....the hair talk.....of course!


There's this belief among Nigerians and other people around the world that Nigerian hair is tough, e sabi break comb well well. It's unmanageable and so not attractive!
In one word, 'BAD HAIR'.
Any woman with healthy, bouncy, long hair is simply NOT Nigerian. Period.
Any woman with long hair has a weave on.
Any woman with manageable hair is "lucky" or "is mixed possibly with Indian" or "lives in obodo oyibo" or "has Fulani ancestry" or "is using some secret potion".


My dears, the truth is BAD HAIR CARE PRACTICES equals BAD HAIR and GOOD HAIR CARE PRACTICES equals GOOD HAIR.
The Indians and Brazilians, whose hair we love so much and admire generally have good hair practices.....don't believe me?....Well, thank God for Google!!!

Now as an Independence Month special..... and this kinda being a hair blog, I'll love to introduce a new series .....*drum roll*.....called.......*more drum roll*

 "NIGERIANS' GOT GOOD HAIR TOO"

This series is to celebrate the beauty of Nigerian natural hair by showcasing Nigerians with gorgeous beautiful healthy hair that is all theirs!!!
Wonder who this Nigerian is?
......or who she is???
.......or who this Nigerian Rapunzel is?
These Nigerians will reveal their secret tips to having gorgeous hair .....and even though this is a natural hair blog, I'll also feature Nigerians with gorgeous relaxed hair!

Meet Bassey Akan..She's Nigerian with a Nigerian mother and a Nigerian father .....and yep, all that relaxed hair is hers!!!
.....and....in the spirit of Independence these beautiful Nigerian women will reveal the best parts of being Nigerian and the best Nigerian products made by Nigerians!!!!

I'm so excited!!!!




..........so sit back, relax, chew corn with coconut/ube .........and enjoy!!!!

  3. Happy independence.

    As an aside, No one passed any under age marriage bill. This was a clause about the definition of an adult that could vote.

  4. Under Section 29 (4a and 4b) of the Constitution, a woman shall not be qualified for marriage until she is 18 years of age.
    The Senate..proposed to change that provision to 'a woman is deemed to be of full age once she is married', irrespective of the age she did so"..... http://allafrica.com/stories/201307220337.html
