Readers’ Mail: Why I Am Stuck With White Women, Ghana & Nigeria Women Have No Identity, ‘Fakeness’ Is Their Hallmark…

Hello Vincent,

Spare me a space on your blog to share something special with the world and also educate our African women especially those fromGhanaandNigeriaon what they seem to have left behind as they grow up.

I wake up each day to face some sort of discrimination, rejection and ill treatment from my own black people especially those from the above mentioned countries purely because I have decided to stick to a white man, a real woman without any adulteration in her appearance and accent.

Anytime I walk down the street with my partner, I am guaranteed that a follow black sister or brother will give me a funny look or pass a silly comment as to why young men out here in Belgium like myself have snubbed the ‘beautiful’ African women for the white European ones.

To many, it is matter of pure preference but to people like me, it is a matter of seeing nothing real, unique, beautiful or natural with the African women of today.

Our women are engulfed in competition as to who can win the ‘FAKE MAMA’ of the year. From the head to toe of almost all the young African women out in the world is ‘FAKE’ ‘FAKE’ ‘FAKE’.

Do I have to list the things our black women are adulterating their appearances with, thereby making them loose the uniqueness and beauty in them?

Fake wigs/weaves have become an accepted way of life among black African women. Extensive make-ups plastered over their faces as if they are aliens who have wrongly landed on planet earth need not to be mentioned.

Does this not bother any man out there? Why should an intelligent young man waste his time with a woman who dislikes her appearance, undergoing self surgery to have a long silky hair when the person can get a white woman with this that appearance as part of her nature?

So I Was Right: Abdul Salam Says Yvonne Nelson’s Ban Has Been Lifted!

Yvonne Nelson Wig & Lips

When I published last week that my source has confirmed to me Yvonne Nelson’s ban has been lifted after a discussion on her letter of apology took place, and all what was left was for an official statment from FIPAG to be made to that effect, many thought I was chatting rubbish.

My publication began to be doubted even more when the PRO of FIPAG Socrate Sarfo came out the next day to say that nothing has been discussed on Yvonne Nelson since they received her apology letter and as such, her ban was  still in place.(listen to attached audio for this).

According to Myjoyonline,  the man at the center of the whole Yvonne Nelson ban controversy-Abdul Salam has stated that “It is official, we are just waiting for the announcement to be made so I’m sure maybe this week or next week they (FIPAG) may announce the lifting.”
