The music superstars are under fire for allegations that the pair refused dark skinned girls from appearing in a music video in Ghana. They requested for mixed race ladies. Fashion Ghana is reporting that some Ghanaian models were asked to participate by directors in an upcoming video shoot a few days ahead of the D-Day.

The publication also reports that the dark skinned ladies turned away, were asked to seek light skinned girls because Wizkid and Akon were adamant on the request on late notice. Do you find their requests offensive? Are they wrong for choosing the type of women they want for their music videos? Catch all the Scoop on www. It was a quoted phrase. Not Bella. This reminds me of Americanah when the friend of the main character said she did not know she was supposed to have or develop issues because she was half-caste.

Half-caste is a description, not something offensive. We all want to be like these white people that age like milk age really fast. It is pathetic. I envy dark skinned people and their beautiful, rich, cocoa butter, glowing skin. Bleaching is disgusting. The nerve! Pot Kettle Akon Black! At the end of the day everyone is entitled to have their preference and artists are entitled to go with industry norms and what sells.

Again, my brethren, you have spoken into the heart of the matter. The issue of color in choosing sex objects for music videos is moot. Why are people angry like being a video vixen si something women should aspire to both dark or light skinned.

Better for the dark skinned women being rejected, hopefully they will use that opportunity to channel their brains instead, now that the media has told them their bodies are of no use to them because of their colour. Can I ask a question? The typical Nigerian woman only talks about beauty, weaves and fashion and occasionally, entertainers. Until Nigerian women stop objectifying themselves and start thinking of themselves as more than just pieces of meat to be married, this nonsense will never end.

So blame the outlook of the women, not the men that are taking advantage of it. A typical Nigerian woman will never see herself as worth until she becomes a wife, a MRS! So why wont men continue to treat us like crap? To AA. Shu when did the topic shift to marriage? You are the one that is obsessed about marriage to even bring it up here. When did choosing light skinned over dark skinned be a matter of marriage.

What is the problem? Are you still single? Did your ex just dump you and get married? Or what is the problem gan gan. To use the word typical Nigerian woman. Generalising much? If that is the type of woman that you see, may I ask what kind of crowd you are moving in where you only get access to shallow airheads who want to be objectified? Typical is relative. My typical Nigerian woman is strong, ambitious, intelligent, can carry a conversation, fine as hell and takes care of her appearance.

If it is the celeb stalking, bleaching and brazilian wearing, man hunting women that you come across so much you had to use the word typical, may I suggest you move in different circles and find yourself a man while you are at it.

Noring wrong with being married. It is a beautiful thing. Having a man to love and love you back is also one of the best things in the world. Try it sometime. Yes I said that. Bite me. Your simple minded insult just made my point. FYI, I am happily married with 2 kids.

But you automatically assumed that I was single and desperate. I was making a point for Nigerian women to stop seeing themselves as video vixens, I was actually agreeing with you, but Foolish You! Yes we should my darling Mz S. Thank you! I was going to type a response full of beef for Akon and Whizkid but after reading your comment, I just weak! True talk, I hereby rest my case.

Thank you Mz S A! Yes I do!!! I want women to start thinking of themselves as more than just a woman. We can be anything in the world we want to be. We were not just created to please men. And if you dont like my statement, then you can shove it! AA, but we are in fact, women, are we not? It should be the same objective for all females but we, very unfortunately, have the ones with no idea of how to realize themselves as individuals and can only live through the material things they own or giving themselves to be owned by men.

What I meant was Naija girls need to look beyond basic pleasures and should want and aspire for much more than video vixen status. I take offence to that generalisation that a typical nigerian woman…. Seyi, pls accept my sincere apologies. I had no idea that I was communicating with a child. Had I known, I would not have used such language. I apologise and now, I will take the advice of your voltron Toyin and go and pick up my kids from school.

I was not generalizing Nigerian women, but if you want to take offence, so be it. I am finding it amazing that my well intentioned comment is generating soo much heat, but no matter. Whoever wants to come at me can do so. I should have known , I would get this reaction.

The education system has failed a generation of Nigerians. Arguing is pointles. I am just amazed at the level of lack of comprehension among these commentators today. Its astounding!!!! And I move around with professional women. Lawyers, doctors, PHD holders. But I am sick and tired of hearing young girls of today just talking about themselves and their looks. I want something more for them. And yes, I am glad to associate with these young girls, because I feel I can influence them positively.

So your stupid self can continue to turn your nose at them, but I owe it to my younger naija sisters to put them on the right track. So throw your jabs, you just look silly, not me. Oh you are one of those married ones obsessed with marriage too? The door swings both ways. There was no reason to bring the issue of marriage into this discussion.

I get it. You knew someone will pick on that point so you can quickly come back with I am happily married with 2 kids. We know your type. Stick to the matter at hand and stop stopping at unnecessary bus stops. Looking down my nose? If the shoe fits. As for the insults, who insulted who? Read your comment again and see how omo alata-ish you sound. Stupid, bitchy etc. Your vocabulary must be impressive. People who resort to isnults………………fill in the blank spaces.

So you can influence them positively. You are a bucket full of positivity. Sure you are. Seyi, now you are just ranting. I have completely lost your point. Like I said, next time, focus on comprehending my point and not trying to be bitchy. All this energy you are wasting is not worth it. Is your anger with me being single or married??? Anyway, like I said was trying to agree with you but you took it somewhere else.

Reading and comprehension will help you in the future. Now who is ranting, your bp must be through the roof with this anger? Need a dictionary to look up rant? I suggest Google. Stop screaming while you are at it. A beautiful comment as usual. I love your play on words about owning being a woman. You can rock being a woman to the full without objectifying yourself. Straight to the point and no diversions. Are you not going to pick the kids from school.

I have in fact gone to read your comment again, never accuse me of not trying to understand and I cant see past your TYPICAL Nigerian woman comment, and how you think that is ok.. I realise some people yes like their weaves etc but how does that define the typical Nigerian woman? Now AA, how does one speaking on beauty somehow mean that a lady is objectifying herself? Or is it bad to care about your looks?

I relate with Nigerian women just like me and I am appalled at the generalization of your statements because all the ladies I relate with who are Nigerians do not have any problem talking about weaves and makeup and yet have no problem talking about politics, religion or whatever the topic is.

You really did come across like you have a personal vendetta against someone or maybe you are just getting the reaction you were seeking to begin with. I am a woman and I am proud to be one, so if it means talking about weaves and make up then guess what? As for Akon and Wizkid I totally agree with SA, music video runs not my thing…now for Minister or some other things we can talk…next….

If I am a child then you must be an agbaya then. I have come down to your insult throwing level. See viscousness on top your crass comments. At least some other people see what I saw from your comments. Typical Nigerian woman indeed.

More omo alata-ish from your comment and the kind of people you interact with. Run along please and waka pass to Nairaland or something. If you cannot be intellectual without being rude, aggressive and uncouth, move over to where such gutter behaviour will be appreciated. I personally do not find the request offensive.

If i was in their shoes i will request for non-dark ladies to not bother applying. Maybe, they just feel the opposite of how i feel about light skinned females. They are entitled to their own opinion but its really sad how black is always considered unattractive or not appealing for music video etc. The same black people discriminating their own sisters and brothers because of skin colour. We get to see such even in the choice of lovers and girlfriends they chose. But its their own shallow behavior.

So no wahala. You must use the DARK skin slaves vs. Thank you gentlemen. Lynch, exactly yrs later mental slavery. Viola is a two if not three time Academy nominee …Danai is getting that oscar buzz too.. But they are artists and whatever rocks their boat, so be it! To all my dark skinned ladies, keep it rocking and all those bleaching ladies, we see you. Happy Monday BNers. Stop saying its a preference issue!

Stop belittling this blatant attack on the black race. Is it only acceptable when it is done by black people? You need to go back to your history books and understand the mentality behind this statement. Maybe then, you will understand that this is very dangerous for black pride and unity. Easy AA. Disagree, but a bit nicer please.
