That Lil Nigerian girl called Nnnena


So the Nigerian girl on America's Next top model is a bit of a slag, so what? I love her. Nnnena the girl i feel like "hailing" half the time. Of course, at first i was offended that such a beautiful, intelligent (bookwise it turns out) girl should go on a seedy patronising reality show like that but in the end i got hooked.
Great smile, fantastic body and the cutest Nigerian accent i have heard in a long, long time(to quote lil miss jocelyn) and definitely true to her roots. I mean the girl was even khunle(ing) for tyra. Excuse my atrocious yoruba, i mean khunle in the way yoruba Nigerian girls greet in that awfully respectful way with the slightest curtsey dip!
I hated the way the background music changed to some jungle drums and ethnic beat everytime the spotlight was on her but i suppose that's what American's can understand. On the other hand, i suppose you could appreciate the fact that the girl is trully African to the core and drums are our thing. You should have seen her dig it in that Igbo ass shaking, bent over double way they do, marvellous.
One issue i had with her was the fact that she was portrayed to be some sort of sociopath possibly suffering from some sort of mult personality dis-order. One this amiable simple girl and the other this bloodless cold predator focused on only one thing...the kill!!! Hmmm.
That said, the part me that did it most for me was the way she handled her boyfriend on the issue of her flirting with a male model. The girl is a playa!!!!!! Maybe Nnena is not a good girl after all!
That said i appreciate that the girl was trully Nigerian in every way and wish her well in her ambitions to bring medical aid to the entire African continent!
