If u had used Lagos only, I couldn't have disagreed with you, but using Nigeria as whole... D 77% is nt true.

Jay254:


It would be foolish and stupid, this has really opened my eyes of how Nigerian have issues with colour. It's a shame in Kenya we have leaved with different races,Africans,white, Indians, Chinese who will soon surpass the Indians in population but majority of the population care less about colour. We must have been taught right.

Kenyanstar:


But from basically all the artists we got posted here from Nigeria have a different skin complexion from before the made it big. For example your Nollywood actors from i guess Ramsey(something)... Trevor(whatever) are biracial and have appeared on many romance movies but the typical black actors are given very funny character role to play. If the black actors are not potrayed as idiots in their characters in movies, witches, madmen and prostitutes. Has the Nigerian movie directors reserved this roles for the black actor to send a message or what?

Kk. Buh why is your country so rural if i may ask? As an ancient country, i much expected to see ancient cities which would have been merged with modern ones to form mega cities in ET.
****Where did it go wrong?

Muafrika2:

That cannot be true. Are you justifying your bullying of that poor guy

It's hard to know the reason. But drought, dictatorship and WAR made Ethiopia backward. Please negotiate with your Birafran friends to stop the war. Famine has entered Nigeria because of Boko Haram. You are also lossin $. And there is Biafra waiting. . . . guys, you need to take care. You need to think serious on this. All the ancient Ethiopia have passed through is now what you are passing through. Sometimes when u see bad things that have happend to a person (like poverty) you might not think you might be next. We are telling you from now so you guys won't end up like us.


LEARN FROM US. STOP THE BIAFRA MOVEMENT!

Muafrika2:


I am

genieluv:


Holly this is interesting. The awards are Nigerian by origin n it's unfortunate that i don't follow them. I only mostly follow the AMVCA's (Africa magic viewers choice awards). Do you follow this award? Apparently it's the biggest in Africa buh am not 100% sure.

****On what channels do you follow these african awards if i may ask?

This actor n actress are very beautiful . They look like a couple together .

>>>>Are Ethiopian movies usually on youtube?

Isahalbash:







I don't think d biafra agitators will tk ur advice.

shervydman:


its like u guys are not getting the point.
we don't have issues with color.....what we're all saying is that "what we call dark here is what u call chocolate there and what u call dark there is what we call very dark here". its as simple as that.

its alright if u understand or not, its not my fvcking biz. its ur own cup of tea.

shervydman:


the funniest thing is that I'm not even sure of the report cos I stay right here in Lagos and ever since I came across this 77% stuff, I consciously check most girls/ladies/she/her/mum/grandmas I meet; expecting to confirm the report but it proves mendacious!.

While i was checking out n downloading the musics you guys proferred for me on youtube, i stumbled on these great Ethiopian music videos below n i loved them so much.
**** Do you guys know these artistes/musics?

What you are not getting is the fact that in Kenya colour does not really matter and it shocks us when we see you guys minding to be classified as lightskin/ camel, chocolate and Dark.

NairobiWalker:


You've been repeating these photos for months now. Don't you have any other photos? Does that mean what mtis is posting are not Nigerians? Anyway, the girls you're posting - other than being Fulani - a minority community in Nigeria, are not as impressive as you're trying to make them.

genieluv:


I have downloaded YENE HABESHA song. I really love it!

****Pls, what does it mean? Can you summarize the song for me to understand?

Was Abby lakew born n bred in the US? Cos i could notice a slight westernization of her accent compared to other Ethiopian singers.
If yes, then how come she speaks n sings Amharic so well n beautifully?

NairobiWalker:


That's simply saying Nigerians are lighter skinned than Kenyans while avoiding being labelled as obsessed with colour. lol

ednited:


It's really hard getting back to track after that I swear. Just because they have seen Ethiopia fyn now, it doesn't mean they will. It took us morethan 20 years to be peaceful and have this economy. Even still, we have 99 problems

NairobiWalker:


This is so sad. Yet when Hollywood does the same we want to boycott Oscars and every other award.

Ednited & Hati13

Seriously, i have fallen in love with Ethiopians today

****Your music n culture is so amazing! And what beats me the most is how you guys manage to always represent Ethiopian culture in all your musics.

>>>>I think most other africans should learn from you guys on how to infuse their cultures into their music. Our musics are becoming too westernized for God's sake. We seem to have largely abandoned our cultural rhythmns n sounds to a large extent. Just see how all your musics clearly reflect your cultural rhythms.
It's quite unfortunate on our parts. I hope we start to retrace our steps soon enough.

I will show these Ethiopian songs to my friends n families.

genieluv:
@Ednited n Hati13

Here are more cool Ethiopian musics i came across. Are these popular musics/artistes?

Can you both do the dancing n shaking of shoulders? cos this seems like the most common Amhara dance steps. Or not?

*** How popular are Oromo, Tigray n Somali musics/artistes in Adis Ababa? Do you guys listen to them?

Isahalbash:









I don't watch nollywood so I don't hv idea about that, but what I knw is that, when some people started making it, their appearance tends to change even without bleaching one skin...daz very common ND logical as humans.

TayserMahiri:


Oh Ok. If Ednite doesnt mind, I will marry your sister so you become my brother in Law

Kenyanstar:

Its illogical in every sense of it, the likes of Nigerian actor Mr Ibu who plays comedy on Nollywood movies have never bleached their skins despite there succes in the industry.

Jay254:


Just follow the thread and you will see how light skin is associated with Middle class and Celebs..
