I would love to see this show… Black is beautiful!

very interesting. i wonder what kind of issues they will have since everyone is from the same culture???

My bad, yall, it ain’t that serious, I know!

Can’t knock your hustle, Tyra.

Why Nigeria? why not just Africa? whats wrong with all the other African countries? I’ll still watch though.

Finally! Tyra is doing something that doesn’t annoy me. I can’t wait for this!

What’s also great is that these chicks probably won’t be as dramatic/crazy acting as black American females on television (ie ‘I Love NY’, ‘Flavor of Love’, and other ghetto shows) are. We know we can act a fool on tv sometimes.

I don’t know. I can hardly get into ANTM. I don’t even attempt to watch The Austrailian one or the British one. Those are some beautiful sistas though. But I highly doubt I’d tune into this one either.

Nice concept but most of the girls look alike. For instance having the same head shape and lips. Am I the only one that sees that?

How wonderfull! Top Model really is world-wide! It is going to be nice to show the beautiful women of Nigeria. The world needs to see young women in Africa in a positive light representing the beauty of their people. I hope that they will broadcast it here also. Hell, if they can air Top Model British Explosion and VH1 can show Australia’s Next Top Model, then there is no reason not to broadcast this show as well!

They have too many African modelling competitions so why not make Africa’s giant have their own show. Big up to my Nigerian sisters. We have to show people that we all do not look like what they show on Tv.

I am very sure some of you do not know where Nigeria is? lol

@8 I was thinking the same thing that they all look alike.

*wonderful

I would like to see this. I bet the differences are what we “Blacks” face everyday amongst ourselves — shades of color, size, backgroud, family status. Very interesting idea for a show. Should be picked up by BET or TV One.

I am so happy for Nigeria. Don’t they look well- fed?

My bad, Top Model British Invasion

OHHH remember School Daze!!!!!

Ok now this looks like a competition. I love it. When does this come on or how can I see it? I tried to go to the site but it’s blocked or something.

they all look the same and i never say that about black folks lol

they don’t look like africans i don’t know what they look like.

i bet the show is better than tyra’s

aww…they’re all so beautiful

oh and #5… u’re a BASTARD for that comment…and i mean it

Aint nothing more beautiful than your own-

Beautiful black women in all different shades-fierce!

Hell I would like for them to do a top model here in america with just black women, but someobody would think that the show was discriminating-sometimes I just want to see a show that specifically deals with African-American Women.

Hey they have a new gay channel offered on cable (not a homophobic-to each their own) but I would love to watch a channel that focused on african-american women or women of color. Something similar to Essence magazine-that addresses everyday issues that woman of color encounter.

Nice I guess. All of them look like sisters. Can’t tell them apart.

Lovely girls.

GOOOOOOOO NIGERIAAAAAAA!!!!!! thats my country and yes its goin to be VERY dramatic and crazy because their african.

AT LEAST WE KNOW A BLACK GIRL, WELL AFRICAN WOMAN WILL WIN THIS ONE FOR SHO!

#8!! Yep, they sure do..but I don’t think any of them are pretty.. sorry..

As an african women, alot of the girls do look alike. And im sorry but i know nigeria has alot more prettier girls than that.
-Just sayin!

Well its about time.. Those women are so lovely. Look at all of those facial features( high cheeks, pouty lips) , WOW I want to watch it also. !!!!!

yall are so damn fake! now yall know if they were from tha us yall would be talkin madd shit bout dem, but since they from a different country yall showin love. that shows how fucked up our own people are towards each other . yall would show another culture more love than you would your own. FUCKED UP.

Now this is a Top Model that I might actually tune into…seems like it will be interesting.

Alright Naija’s representing!

oooooooooohhhh i cant wait to see this, hopefully it’ll air here in the US, of course being a nigerian gurl, its kool to c ur own ppl bein represented …..rep naija to tha FULLEST!

woohoo….im tired of watchintg the rakes all over that show….finally some women with nice healthy curves….

Tyra’s is becoming such a mogul. You go Girl!

I’d totally watch …. but # 28 is right.

man put this one on the air and take Tyras OFF!!. This one look soooo much better and all of them are pretty. BLACK IS BOOOTIFUL!!

@#28 Why are you saying that we’re fake? If anything we are EMBRACING our culture. And what are you talking about “showin another culture love rather than our own”. Ummm…. last time I checked we’re African American. Please correct me if I’m wrong?

@#25 I think some of them are cute but in the fashion world. They look for models with unique faces and sometimes it may not be cute to everyone.

@#11 I never thought I would say that a black people but they do !!!lol

I have to see this because I love Nigeria and the people there too.

5. Del said:

Why Nigeria? why not just Africa? whats wrong with all the other African countries? I’ll still watch though.
__________________________

because people think Africa is a country when *shock-horror* it’s a damn continent.

having said that, i would have liked to have seen a bit of variety looks-wise, cos it wuld be more challenging for them

I wonder if they’ll also have a judge with a crooked lace front and a wonky eye?

That’s nice that they’ve taken the show to another country where the represented majority aren’t pigment-challenged. However, I have to be honest and say that not all of those girls are stuuners. It looks to me like they put the most attractive ones (in white) up front, which was a smart move. But beauty is subjective so it’s anyone’s game.

Some of you sound so stupid. Africa is acontinet and nigeria is a country, like The U.S. is a country. I agree that they look alike but perhaps it is because they are all from the same tribe(i.e IBo, Youruba etc)
It is a good look though

There should be a Liberia’s Next Top Model cuz we go so hard. Haha but this is a good idea it would be better if she had included other African nationalities.

#8 I noticed that too…they all look alike…and least we know a black girl already won

I’d rather see this than Jael getting pushed into the pool by Fiddy.

Black is beautiful! Don’t yall forget it.

#5 africa’s a continent. i realize most black americans have no idea but it’ll be unfair to have a competition for all women in africa. perhaps tyra will move on to other COUNTRIES within africa. Nigeria is one of the largest and most developed countries in africa so it makes $ since to start there.

go on tyra

i agree i wish there was more diversity in the looks cause all nigerian women certainly don’t look like that. but i guess that’s the ‘model’ look.

at least this is a good idea, i’d watch it. but, they need to look different…its like 20 different poses of the same chick! what are they going to base the eliminations on?

ANTM is getting played out….she is gonna burn out this franchise of shows really quick….they already got Australia and Nigeria….what’s next….Italy, Egypt, Timbuktu?

There is more to becoming a model than looks. It would be interesting to see who has some of the other qualities they look for in a model.

These chicks are FIERCE!

hollllaaaa…BLACK IS BACK….DO YO THING GIRLZ….WORK IT !!!!!!

LOL, who said that these women won’t be crazy and ghetto like our sistas here in America? Everyone knows that Africans are crazy as hell! I had so many African friends and they told me in their country, African females be fighting with sticks and knifes in front of a big crowd to settle their differences! LOL, i don’t know if that’s all of Africa but it does happpen. I’m so glad that Tyra decided to do this. She is one who likes to embrace our black culture and I believe that’s something we’ve lost with accepting and supporting white and puerto rican people to cop our style. This show should be interesting.

Wow,

I love this! Great concept..Great idea!! This will defiantely get me watching ANTM again after a 2-3 season sabbatical from it

This is great. This should be interesting and it’s nice that Tyra is doing something different.

wow, i love you, Tyra!!! this is the best thing you’ve ever done!

& yes, us Nigerian girls DO LOOK very good…:)

um yeah but i have seen better looking Nigerian girls…..step it up one more time Tyra.

obviously they don’t have the tchnology or the dvd cams to send in submissions so they literally went into a village and plucked a family.

its the jacksons of ANTM.

they are all the SAME.

why couldn’t it jus b AFRICAS NEXT TOP MODEL???…

@ #10 Tola:
Who the hell said Nigeria is Africa’s giant? Bitch, please!

finally! something with more black girls!

Maybe from this, some ignorant Americans are FINALLY going to realize that Africa is a CONTINENT made up of many, unique countries.

@ #56 - Africa is a damn continent! If Tyra is going to Nigeria, she is probably looking to take the franchise to as many African countries as possible. I would rather have seen girls from Ivory Coast, Egypt or Ethiopia. But Nigerian girls are crazy, so we can count on major screen drama.

it’s not an actual tv show,it will be held on one night(27th April) and one winner will b picked from 15 auditionees…check out naijavixen.blogspot.com for more info and pictures….and TYRA IS NOT INVOLVED!!!!!

I AGREE WITH #8 AND #25

Damn people on this blog is real foolish but bump them, I wanna know where I can catch this show. It’s about time we get a show that represents us. Im tired of seeing shows that are just dedicated to the european standard of beauty. Shows that represent us blacks who come in all shades,sizes,etc…Forget the rest, Do you Tyra.

Love,Peace,&&Honeyy

#35.. True, but they all look alike, there’s really nothing about them that screams model…but I don’t see models,just a bunch of random chicks with a different sense of style..

They look like Drag queens.

Ain’t nothing like being black! Black people is the most beautiful race on this earth. We come in so many different shapes, sizes, and complexions. Seeing these beautiful sisters doing their thing makes me so proud. I would watch this show in a heartbeat.

#56, Africa is a continent.

Like saying why can’t there be just North America’s top model??

South America’s top model??

Europe’s top model???

Asia’s top model????

because sweetie they are all continents and not countries. wow.

Damn, maybe I should move to Nigeria and try out for this show SINCE AMERICA turned me down.. =) LOL

THEY LOOK ALIKE BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T BEEN INJECTED WITH CAUCASIAN SPERM, SAME WAY MOST OF US WOULD LOOK IF WE DIDN’T HAVE THAT DEVIL BLOOD RUNNING THRU OUR VEINS. ANYWAY…………..WOMEN ARE BEAUTIFUL, CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE SHOW.

@#64 I have to agree with you

@#41 & #62 Thanks for clarifying that for me I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy lol!!!!

what station does this show air on? i would love to watch

Are these the nappy headed ho’s Imus was talking about..???

I would actually watch this one…as long as they are not anorexic. It would kill me if they started starving themselves to be high fashion models. I hate high fashion.

Wow! So, I googled this new show and ppl have some pretty racist things to say, which pisses me off and shows just how ignorant our country really is. I personally dont even like the ANTM franchise because they do too much, but im gonna watch this one especially for the haters! Women from Africa make GORGEOUS models!

Good for them they are beautiful black angels!

THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADIES

What so people mean when they say people dont look nigerian?

Is it because they dont have a wide nose or thick lips. It pisses me off when black people tell me I dont look NIGERIAN.

Black woomen need to move on from their obsession with looking as EUROPEAN as they can.

#50….. i dont know what countries ur friends come from but i can assure u that not all african girls be fighting with knives and sticks to settle their differences.

I hope the world is ready for models with shape, cause all of their shapes are so curvy & GORGEOUS.

I know i’ll get jumped for this one but they seriously all look alike, beautiful girls but all look alike, i guess its cause im used to seeing a wider range of skin tones on ANTM.

#80, I agree. Not all nigerian girls look a like just the ones you see in this picture. And there is variation of skin tone. This really does not give you a broader vision of what many nigerian women look like. but whatever.

If I happen to be flipping through the channel one day and I see it. I’ll watch it! They look exotic. One thing I can say is almost all of them seem to have nice shapes.

As an African woman, I feel they have not done us justice with the women they have chosen to represent Nigeria’s beauty. Most of the girls look the same, and while some are beautiful, most are not. I get irritated when people say women from Africa are beautiful just for the sake of trying to be “down” with their roots. I’ve seen much prettier women walking down the streets..they could have done a much better job selecting the contestants.

AMEN @ # 66!!!!

Should be interesting I personally havent really gotten into Top Model show myself that much but It would be cool to see how this show will go.

“57. Miss Ghana said:
@ #10 Tola: Who the hell said Nigeria is Africa’s giant? Bitch, please!”

YOU ARE clearly a STREET GIRL. Your choice of words defines who you are*SHAKES HER HEAD IN DISGUST* LMBO. Anyways LET ME EDUCATE you briefly. There are different ways to explain this. Geographically, Sudan is the biggest country in Africa BUT NIGERIA is the MOST POPULOUS country in Africa… so please keep your cool.

this is great give africa a time to shine but im witht he previous comments wht not Africa as a whole?

You know what, I have nothing against beautiful women of any color but I must ask, WHY ARE WE SO CONSUMED WITH A WOMAN’s LOOKS????? I mean, Im talking about everything in society from magazines to TV to beauty pageants. It makes me feel like , “If Im not beautiful,Im not as valuable as ,say, the next top model.” I got to ask myself, do I want my future daughter to grow up striving hard to be attractive, or striving hard to be intelligent because it seems like we adore, respect, and admire women that are beautiful more than the latter. Plus, beautiful women seem to make more $$$ and have more success by using their beauty. Intelligent women seem to have to work hard to be successful. Just a thought.

people, the show is franchised out to different COUNTRIES not continents!!! Nigerians, being the business minded people they are, got on it quickly … no doubt other countries will soon follow [South Africa and Egypt are said to be representing next] … so, easy on the global geography ignorance …

and I have to agree with the person that wrote about some posters being fake .. if this was the next installment of America’s next top model, we wouldn’t hear the end of how ugly most of these chics are .. but now because we don’t want to politically incorrect, we’re letting it slide .. nah, be real with yours .. most of those girls bodies are BANGING!!! but only like two, three tops are actually fashion model cute .. their skin color and complexion is flawless and they exude 100% regal entitlement!! loves it!!

anyway, I roomed with Naijas’ and they are hilarious .. especially after getting a few beers in them - so, I pray they bring that show over to VH1 SOON!!!

YEP YEP! ITS ALL ABOUT NIGERIA RIGHT ABOUT NOW!

Get it, girls!

I just hope that people know that the attitudea, behaviors and opinions you see on the show refelect those of the girls on the show, possibly Nigerians in general and certainly NOT Africans as a whole. ***Bracing myself for all the Nigerian foolishness*** Those ppl got some thick accents. Even we Africans can’t understand them.

@ 57# srru miss ghana but bigeria is aficas giant - we have the most populous country in nigeria so you were sayin….?

anyways i am soooo psyched for this!!!! i gotta represent where i’m from ya’ll lol!!!

ISONG-OOOO!!!!

Dang…people will always find a reason to complain. Tyra is putting Nigerian chicks on the scene…give the girl and these models their props.

#74…I saw the racists comments as well when I Googled the show. That mess was heart breaking but that is how they feel. If they were all light or damn near white (or Beyonce lookalikes), it would have been ok. Damn…shame. Welcome to Ammerriikkkkaaaa….

Black is Beautiful…

All these broads look the same!

@ #92 - fall back with your foolishness! Nigerians speak quite clearly, accent or not. They’re easy to understand. Get outta here with that mess!

The show came up with this idea b/c A LOT of the hottest runway and catalogue models these days come from Nigeria. Oluchi has done well for herself/Victoria’s secret, and so has Nnenna (top 6 in ANTM two seasons ago). The model scouts had been making frequent trips to find new talent and so Tyra simply picked up on it.

Sorry, but most of these girls don’t look the same to me. They could have gotten a litttle more variety but they still don’t look the same

All all have GREAT bodies

Dag…Im Nigerian American myself, i love my people and errything but they could have chosen better lookin girls though to be honest

I cannot see one pretty one sorry but will not be watching this.I am so tired of top model now.

We’ll here’s a show worth worth watching. At least we know that a sista will win the competition.

@28 How the hell are we fake when we are embracing are our own. We’re African-Americans.

This show will probably have some class.

U GUYS ARE TOO KIND I THOUGHT THE CHOSEN ONES OF AMERICA’S TOP MODEL WERE LESS THAN MEDIOCUR BUT DEM SOME UGLY BITCHES……..ONLY ABOUT THREE WOULD GET ANOTHER GLANCE IF I SAW THEM…………………..
I SEE ALOT HOTTER AROUND THE WAY GIRLS THAN BOTH THESE SHOWS OFFER…………………………….
EVERY BODY’S BEUTIFUL BUT A FEW ARE FLAWLESSSSSSSS.

Now thats beautiful!!!

I’m sorry, but these ladies aren’t that cute. However, I’ll watch just to see how they interact. It will be nice to see how these ladies live and what their culture is about.

vh1 will probably show it at some point, i’d watch, i watched the british one, they were just as dramatic as the ones in america

woohoo! im so proud of my nigerian sisters repping it big time. Tyra ur doing big things now look at how black people are beautiful why cant they have an all black ANTM? TYRA afterall is a black woman.

at number 5 ….. why not just africa.. africa is a continent. like america is just a country , so is nigeria. its not north americas next top model. you sounded real stupid.

Um… is it jus me but dont they all look alike

#56 you are so fucking stupid you are not intelligent enough to respond if you don’t even know that all of Africa is a damn continent

thats like saying let’s have a North America’s next top model or a Europe’s next top model
some African American fuck me up man read a book

#100 you’re so challenged like your obviously a certified mentally retarded individual

not only do you just voice your ignorance all over but you sound completely uneducated at the same time “den some ugly bitches” go read a book

Just because they don’t fit the norm of the hoodrat chicks that you see walking down the street and have all the European features that niggaz like you desire that practice self hate doesn’t mean they are ugly

#57 That’s right bitch keeping hating. It’s only motivation!

This can’t be real

Them Bitches are UGLY!

And #35, you are tooo freakin dumb! They are NOT from the same damn culture and they’re not even American!

I always though of the definition of an “African American” meaning,someone who’s parents are from Africa and they’re child was born in America. If your black, you are A Black American, or simply American. No one walks around calling White people European Americans..

Black Americans are mixed up w/ all different types of ish, and we are hated on ALL the time by Africans, because they don’t think we’re pure.

#28 is right, yall are bein soo damn phoney, because NOT 1 of those girls are pretty! AT ALL!!!

yo #111 it’s African Americans like you that are simply the reason why us Africans sterotype you people as stupid, uneducated, and ghetto!

Yeah you’re counted as African American that is even more of a proper term than Black American that just seems offensive but if you want to be all politically correct then so be it. Noone is going to change the books for you so just hop off of it.

We Africans don’t like a lot of African Americans because you guys just make us look bad you guys do some dumb shit that we were raised not to do and you know it. when black people are stereotyped it’s mostly because of you people

My parents came from nothing in Nigeria and they are very established my dad’s an orthopedic surgeon and my mother is a nurse and they own a couple of houses and you people can’t even pay your damn rent. black people will never be fully respected in this country because of African Americans.

I think some of those girls are pretty. But, I don’t think they picked the prettiest girls from Nigeria. Not by a long shot. Man I swear every time they represent my Africa they do this shit!!!

NNTM,

Hmmm! I know Nigeria can’t sustain a truly large modeling industry, so I guess we must remember this is basically a reality show that gets a bunch of women together to fight, lie, cry, pose and vogue as they try to break through with a “modeling” contract.

I appreciate the diversity within the Black Diaspora, but as one person commented, several of the girls don’t have the “it” factor/look. That may change as they go through the process. Also, do you think the industry will let too many Alek Wek’s breakthrough (she’s a choc to the bone Black unweaved woman!).

Tyra is more about exploitation of women than celebrating beauty. She seems so demeaning with her heavy ass lacefront crown. She acts like the girls have to be ‘perfect’ to make it in the industry, when in truth they are merely hangers. Also, so many girls with top agencies are drunken messes. I guess in the name of entertainment and $, she’s doin’ good.

This is an interesting concept. Looking forward to see who the winner will be.

There is actually a competition that represents the whole continent of Africa, called Nokia Face Of Africa….this is the same competition that launched Oluchi’s career. Africa has some of the most successful black models…Iman, Oluchi, and Alek Wek.

Maybe tyra will include other African countries.

Dunno, if anyone’s said this already, and i’m too lazy to read through all fiftymillion comments. It is NOT a reality show, its a modelling competition…as in, one day only.

They look nice and healthy. They don’t look bulimic. They don’t look like they could use a sandwich. There is at least 1 girl on ANTM that looks like she is sick.

Hi,

I don’t Know if anyone has mentioned this in the comments area but Nigeria’s Next top model is an event, taking place in London, and not a TV show. The company in charge is still in the process of purchasing rights to the franchise from Trya’s production Company, so i doubt if she is involved in the event, at all.

May I take this opportunity to state that I Luuuurrrrvvveeeee your blog for too many reasons that I cannot mention. Take Care.

Hi,

Nigerian’s next top Model is an event taking place in London, rather than a Tv show. The company involved are trying to buy rights to the “Top Model” franchise from Tyra’s production company, so I don’t think she is involved , at all.

Reppin Nigeria to the straight fullest!!! damn if only they could show it here in the states. =(

YAY… i love my black people!

i couldnt careless to those who believe these young ladies are ugly. dont expect african women to resemble what u see in the united states.. if you can only see past your front door step and not the world as a whole.. then slavery has got you.!! open your eyes and read a book.

naijas do it best i cant wasit 2 c dis!! n ofcourse der will b drama i noe all dem dont speak all da same lang n dun come 4rm da same place

gosh, Americans are like the most ignorant people on this planet. Ofcourse it can’t be called Africa’s Next Top Model cos Africa is a darn continent..and not ever country speaks english so it wud be difficult to merge….And even within the countries, there still so much diversity…Incase y’all didn’t know Nigeria just like America has States…

#92 you are an obvious retard ..and you should go get your ass educated…get tha wax outta your ear if you can’t understand when nigerians speak..

With number 26 I totally agree w/ u Im nigerian to but I really seriously doubt that Ill spend my time watching that show

Ummm….tyra didn’t lump canada and america into one just because they’re on the same continent.

Seperate country….individual show.

Africa isn’t made up of states u kno…it’s made up of countries with totally different races, cultures and languages…Not to mention the difference in looks and standard of beauty….so why not have Nigeria’s top model.

Afterall i can’t see the whole of europe agreeing to Europes top model, or instead of having an ANTM let’s just do a a North + South America’s top model…

Naija STAND UP!! good look but this would have done better to have been a reality programme as opposed to the one day compo .. but regardless, I’m all over it - for the record, most of you AfAm that are posting your disgust at the ‘beauty’ factor of these chics, *shaking head* - remind yourselves that you’re no better than Imus in your mentality. These women are GORGEOUS not only because they’re from mother Africa or their confidence but because they probably couldn’t care less if you think they measure up to your diluted/tainted bloodline .. they are doing them and that’s what they teach us in Africa that someone just wasn’t quite taught here, eh?

Thats Rite @127. African2TheFullest … these women know they look good! i’m sure they are very secure…they dont need black americans judging ther beauty.

For all of you dumb a$$ AFRICANS judging Black Americans get the hell off of a “BLACK CELEB GOSSIP SITE”.

As far as you #112, African’s sterotype and are so judgemental of BLACK Americans because like I said, they don’t think we are pure,we haven’t gone through the struggle, and other than that there is no respect there because YOU ALL automatically think your’e better (for some odd reason, that I can’t POSSIBLY seem to understand LOL). Your comments about what your parents do for a living is pointless! There’s poverty every fu(kin where, and believe it has NOTHING to do w/ race dumb ass. You stereotyping and saying “Black people” do dumb shit, goes to show how silly and ignorant you are. Don’t get mad and get in your feelings because those girls are simply NOT CUTE whatsoever! If you can’t stand Black people so much, take your dumb a$$ back to nigeria BIOTCH!! And correction, black people will never be fully respected in this country because of EUROPEANS, and the way America is mapped out. Thats just the way it is. You are not in the same category as a BLACK AMERICAN, the culture is COMPLETELY different, YOU all make yourselves look bad NOT US fool!

~57…typical Ghanaian - dont hate fool, appreciate. At the end of the day africa is finally gettin noticed. stop with ure ignorant Ghanaian behaviour….jus coz we chased u out of our country………….. IGBO KWENU!!!!!

NIGERIA KWENU!!!!!

Americans (including the so called african americans/black americans) are racist as fucks!! I dont blame you its because you have allowed yourselves to be enslaved and ridiculed.

You play up to the stereotypes and then complain about that shit…You brought it on yourselves.

You are the ones that give ALL black people …Yes i mean all black races a bad name.

I suppose the process of “conditioning” which stems from the slavey period where we were made to believe anything remotely black is ugly i.e our nose, our lips, our hair. Its really sad…why is it when someone is ugly they are dark skinned, and dare I say have “BLACK FEATURES”.

When we are saying these girls are ugly then thats DEEP my people…Who is gonna love us if we cannot love ourselves.

This whole division thing is why we will never progress as a race…its a fucking joke.

SIGHS… (gets it off her chest)

#129 Ray01 I cosign…that was a really ignorant ass comment for that person to make….cuz last time i checked i dont think that person knew every damn black american….hell i done came across many rude and arrogant ass africans but u dont see me puttin them all in one category sayin they represent all of africa because im not goin to let my experiences make judgment on every1

It’s such a shame to see blacks beefin with each other, weather you are pure african or african-american you still black. There shud be solidarity, I mean c’mon we make ourselves look like fools infront of other races.We have been conditioned to thinking that which is our own is ugly and to be beautiful we have to look more european. These girls up there might not be the prettiest nigerians but they sure ain’t ugly, what I’m seeing here is true blackness and we all should embrace it and praise it ‘cos Black is beautiful weather american-black or african-black.

This is a UK competiton there will be no show to air. The large majority of these girls are British born so they may act like US AA women. It is a good idea but it has been hyped up into being like ANTM when it is not.
Still it is good for this competiton to be taking place. I don’t think all the girls are pretty though some are and some aren’t.

This is the shows website
http://www.nigerianexttopmodel.com/

Good luck to them and the contestants. If you read through the rules, the about us and the terms and conditions you will see it is different from the format of ANTM and has nought to do with Tyra Banks.

#5 I was thinking the same thing. #8 your are right.

People, ALL OF YOU, go on their site .. these pics have NOT done them justice .. these chics are ridiculously banging/!!!!! no other to compare … *wiping eyes filled with tears* makes me so proud to be Black :)

I’m disappointed that this isn’t a television show.

If we ever do have a “Top Model” based in Africa, it will most likely be filmed in South Africa and may or may not include contestants from all over the continent.

It’s too bad because a Top Model show filmed in Britain comprised of all Nigerian contestants would be sooo drama-filled and entertaining.

THERE IS A LIMIT THAT KNOW GIRLS CAN NOT B OVER SIZE 12 THIS IS SO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! US NIGERIAN GIRLS HAVE SEXY CURVES AND THE CONTEST SHOULD CELEBRATE THIS AND NOT CONFORM TO AN INDUSTRY FULL OF GIRLS WITH EATING PROBLEMS BECOZ THEY THINK THEY HAVE TO B SMALL!!!!!!!!!!

hey people i can fill u in on more info bout the show

1. its not tyra,s
2.its holding in the u.k. on the 27th of april 2007 at the hammersmith assemble hall
3. its not a television series like tyra’s
4. its all going to happen one night on one stage
5. i can gurantee u it will be fun and mad.
wat else do u want to know i can fill u in.

one more thing the girls are pretty hate it or love it. they are fineeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

here are videos of the girls being interviewed

http://naijaconnects.com/videoclub/2286

http://naijaconnects.com/videoclub/2286
check out the videos of the girls

I sooooo agree with #129 (but maybe not as harshly) I work with a whole slew of Nigerian women and they all have negative things to say about Americans and especially African Americans and OUR culture and I never could understand why they dislike it over here so much but they will marry and pay someone thousands just to get over here! Its bewildering to me! If you hate US and hate it here take your ass back to Africa! I apologize but I have been wanting to say that for the past 3 yrs…….Whew!

I never heard of this before who knows maybe it would be intresting….

i read somewhere that this Nigeria’s Next Top Model thing is an event — not a show.

[source]

Okay you can’t have a African Next top model… Africa is not a country, its a continent. Some people need to take some geography class. You might learn something… Anyways i don’t think Nigeria’s next top model will be a big hit…

Where can i watch this show, i’d love to c it?

i really appreciate the and the girl are lovely to watch even in photography, but let them no that been a model its a proffession, they should take it to the next level and achieved more than Naiomi Cambell, Oluchi and co.
