Too Many Fine Babes for Lagos

Too Many Fine Babes for Lagos

I was born and bred in Lagos state and I have been privileged to travel all over Nigeria since my childhood to date. And I can confirm that there are too many beautiful and physically well endowed young women in Lagos, from the nubile teenage girls to the older young women from different tribes in Nigeria and from other countries.

This morning, this first phone call came from one of them, Funke who looks like the Barbadian R&B, reggae, and pop singer Rihanna intoto and she wants to see me. Then later, I found myself sitting beside another beauty, a mulatto, who looked like an angel in human flesh. She was looking as I typed a text message to tell Funke that I was already scheduled to go straight to MultiChoice/DSTV on Victoria Island before coming to the office of Supple magazine in Shomolu. Then as she was leaving, she turned to look at me straight as if to tell me “I know you know that I am an eyeful of beauty, Look at me well well.” Boy! I was dazed as I gazed at her from her long silky black hair she knotted into a ponytail and her sleeveless black blouse and blue denim pants and heelless sandals; she was too fine from the crown of her head to the toes of her beautiful golden feet. I swallowed lumps of saliva. Then I saw more pretty and sexy babes appearing from left and right on the street and I thought I was in a romantic dream or what could be going on!
My conclusion is, the most beautiful women in Nigeria have invaded Lagos for the summer.

Let me go and see Funke!

Chris Brown and Rihanna: What Do Girls REALLY Think?

New Survey Uncovers Interesting Results

NEW YORK, April 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new survey commissioned by GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA through the BUZZ MARKETING GROUP has uncovered some interesting news regarding the reactions of girls to the highly publicized Chris Brown and Rihanna incident: 95 percent of girls surveyed say Chris Brown's alleged actions are not acceptable or justifiable for any reason, and 48 percent believe that low self-esteem will be the primary reason for Rihanna getting back with Chris Brown.


Girl Scouts of the USA commissioned the study to ensure girl's voices were accurately represented and to stress the importance of self-esteem among girls. The incident reportedly left young singer Rihanna battered and bruised at the hands of her singer boyfriend Chris Brown. Shortly after, it was widely reported by the Boston Public Health Commission that teens were believed to put Rihanna at fault for the alleged attack.


However, it seems Boston teens do not reflect the nationwide view among girls. The Girl Scouts of the USA uncovered that a majority of girls - nearly 59 percent - hold Chris Brown responsible for what happened, followed by 33 percent who place the blame on both Rihanna and Chris Brown.


"Girls are now telling us loud and clear - it is not OK to hit a woman," says Tina Wells, CEO of Buzz Marketing Group. "That doesn't mean they don't sympathize with both parties. The girls are looking at the situation from all angles and understand that no one knows what really happened. They like Chris Brown - he is an idol for younger girls - and it was hard for them to believe at first."


The findings did contain one disturbing trend among girls - it was the younger ones under the age of 13 who were more likely to blame Rihanna. Self-esteem is at the center of discussion for girls, as the study uncovered almost half of the respondents - 48 percent - believe that low self-esteem will be the primary reason for Rihanna getting back with Chris Brown. This reinforces the importance for parents to speak to daughters early and often.


"Overall, today's girls are more savvy than often assumed," says Leanne Gluck, Manager of uniquely ME!, the national Girl Scouts / Dove Self-Esteem Program. "The media attention surrounding this unfortunate incident presents an opportunity for parents and daughters to engage in open dialogue on the importance of self-esteem and healthy relationships."


In addition to being the voice of girls, Girl Scouts of the USA recently launched a new Girl Scouts Leadership Experience which aims to empower girls with a strong sense of self and critical thinking skills to tackle issues such as low self-esteem. This learning model engages girls in a fun, experiential way to discover themselves, connect with others and take action to make the world a better place.


Survey results from Girl Scouts of the USA / Buzz Marketing Group:
-- 95 percent believe Chris Brown's alleged actions are not acceptable or
justifiable for any reason
-- 59 percent hold Chris Brown responsible for what happened
-- 33 percent blame both Rihanna and Chris Brown for what happened
-- 45 percent believe Rihanna could have provoked Chris Brown

-- Girls 13-17 were more likely to think Rihanna provoked him in some way


The nationwide survey of 420 girls, not necessarily Girl Scouts, ages 8-17 was conducted in March by the Buzz Marketing Group and included questions on demographics and familiarity with both singers.

Rihanna/Chris Brown Incident Underscores Need for Early Intervention, Leading Domestic Violence Expert Says

Statement of Esta Soler, President, Family Violence Prevention Fund

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Our thoughts and prayers are with Rihanna, who was reportedly the victim of a violent assault by Chris Brown. That the victim and alleged perpetrator in this case are both well-known entertainers adds a public dimension to what happens privately in this country every hour of every day. As we extend our support and sympathy to Rihanna, let's remember that we all have victims of dating and domestic violence in our own communities who need our help as well.

There are many unanswered questions here, and certainly Chris Brown is entitled to the same presumption of innocence as anyone else charged with a crime. But there are principles that should guide our response. Violence is never acceptable. Nothing a victim does, and nothing in a perpetrator's background, ever justifies violence. Those who commit violence must be held accountable. Victims of violence need and deserve protection, support and privacy.

Chris Brown has talked openly about the trauma he experienced growing up in a home plagued by domestic violence. Like so many children in similar situations, he needed professional intervention. If the allegations are true and he committed this assault, we have to assume that he did not get the help he needed. That is true for millions of children growing up in homes in which violence occurs. We must do better, or more children will grow up at risk for becoming victims or perpetrators of domestic violence.

The conversation this assault has launched, on blogs and entertainment websites, is a stark reminder of the urgent need for education and prevention. We aren't intervening with kids at risk for domestic violence. We aren't doing enough to teach the next generation that violence is wrong. We aren't training enough teachers, health care providers and other potential intervenors to ask if people are safe, and help if their answer is 'no.' We aren't funding new programs in the federal Violence Against Women Act that offer real hope for preventing violence before it begins."

Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 1,200 deaths and two million injuries to women from intimate partner violence each year. On average, three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends each day in this country. 15.5 million U.S. children live in families in which partner violence occurred at least once in the past year, and seven million children live in families in which severe partner violence occurred.

The Family Violence Prevention Fund works to end violence against women and children around the world, because every person has the right to live free of violence. More information is available at www.endabuse.org. In partnership with the Advertising Council, the FVPF has launched That's Not Cool, a new campaign designed to help start a conversation among teens so they will connect the dots and recognize when controlling behavior becomes abuse.

Two Black Beauties: Queen Ebony and Rihanna

Queen Ebony is black and beautiful and she has poise.



Of course, Rihanna is black and beautiful and would you dare to disagree?

AskMen Rates Rihanna A Plus in Sexiness and Success

I love the fully illustrated feature on the Barbadian singer Rihanna on AskMen.com. It is the most updated and has the latest and the best pictures of the sultry Black Beauty from Barbados. There are over 300 of the latest exquisite photographs of Rihanna and her summary in two paragraphs.



What I love most about Rihanna is her chocolate complexion!
She is the epitome of the Black Beauty.

SEXINESS
What's not to love about this island beauty? Her face is stunning, her eyes are entrancing and her complexion is exquisite. Her body is voluptuous, and her dance skills demonstrate how flexible and limber she can be. Rihanna was ranked No. 20 on AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2007 and No. 8 in 2008. Slender but very trim, Rihanna's youth is reflected in a beauty that is still in that transition phase between girlishness and full-blown femininity. But her caffe latte complexion and pleasing features already lend her an aura of attractiveness, like a young Thandie Newton. The next few years will only see Rihanna's beauty ripen. Is Rihanna sexy? Do you even have to ask?

SUCCESS
Rihanna's sudden and meteoric rise made American Idol hopefuls look like seasoned crooners who had spent a decade on the road before hitting the big time. A native of the island of Barbados, Rihanna lived an average life and barely even dreamed of show business before she was discovered in late 2003.

Despite her total lack of professional singing experience, pretty young Rihanna was snapped up by Def Jam, and had a hit with her single "Pon de Replay" in 2005. She quickly followed this up with the release of her debut album, Music of the Sun. Rihanna wasted no time in putting out a second album, "A Girl Like Me," the following year, and her third album, "Good Girl Gone Bad," took listeners by storm in 2007 with a slew of hit singles including Umbrella and Don't Stop The Music.

Rihanna's instant success wasn't all luck, though. Her talent is undeniable, and her personality is determined yet appreciative. All it took was the perfect mix of circumstances, blended together like a good callaloo (one of Rihanna's favorite Caribbean dishes). How long will Rihanna be riding this wave of hits? If it means we get to keep seeing that beautiful face, then we hope forever.

Rihanna
