"although Manu lost at home...."
ReplyDeleteHow is this a bad thing??????
Nice post bella...also nice one on 2face(trying hard to populate niaja-lol). i haven't heard of all this pple..not even abt mimi's mag b4. Were is she from??
ReplyDeleteNot a bad list at all....hadn't heard about most of the Ghanian and Rwandan talents. Anyways this list appears to have left the talents in America out. EMEKA OKAFOR is not on this list... I think he should be on it and since there are many tv personalities and entertainers Sal Masakela of E and AKON are also missing. Hmh...Bella are you thinking what I am thinking? Fill in the Mimi Gaps.

Nice post mama.. I'm a mimimag subscriber.. Nice work... I like the choices.
ReplyDeleteThat MTV gentleman is very a sight for sore eyes! Yowser!!!
ReplyDeleteI am just appreciating what the Good Lord has done thats all..LOLhmmm probably has a significant other!
That MTV gentleman is a sight for sore eyes! Yowser!!!
ReplyDeleteCorrecting the Ibon
sorry parazone he probably does:)
ReplyDeleteI didnt want to say this before but i have to confess now...he (the MTV dude)looks sooo much like an Ex tht was y I put him up...ahhh...I've casted myself....
ReplyDeleteand to all u Gunners funs and Man U haters.....IF I CATCH U EH...tht Adebayor is a very stupid boy..how dare he score against ManU...lol...I am still very bitter!
About the MIMI mag..the lovely ladies tht run it are from all around africa - tz, sa, nig etc.. so u guys should subsribe...its hot!
ok y'all am sorry to say but in my very humble opinion, I think 2face is waaaay overated, not that smart and frankly is not someone I would like to "represent" as a top young African... what he wrote a song ummm okay, its a really nice song but am sure someone else will come along and write another really really cool song... but till he proves otherwise, he is not on my list of Africans to look up to. K'Naan-yes, Liya HELLS yes, 2face-NO!
ReplyDeleteam sorry and yea I know we are all human and make mistakes and blah blah blah but for the love of J,J&M, rap it up!! dang, he is so not helping the "cause"... aside from other related issues, AIDS is now a black disease and if the so called 'stars' are not letting their light shine in a positive and beneficial way, we are all doomed... don't get me wrong I think he is blessed and very talented but I like talent with brains... a mon avis
btw, very nice post Bella--thanks.
"Blah" am in with threeeighteen
ReplyDeleteHORRROR!!! HE IS NOT MARRIED IS HE? okay...I am calming down..err He isn't married is he?( in a calmer voice) awww heck does it matter, too flippin' far away :(
ReplyDelete@ Naija gal don't even dignify me with a response! LOL
@ Bella naija...girl your ex must've been a hottie!
oh yeah..was so enthralled with Mr. MTV.. Mimi Mag is quite nice. My girlfriend is a contributor and she is one of us( Nigerian) so to piggy back off what Bella said, it's really a great mix of bright minds from Mama Africa!
ReplyDeletedunno a bunch of them, and maybe i'm just hating, but i'm getting tired of seeing genevieve everywhere...maybe i'm type casting, never really heard an interview or anything outside the movies about her, so my opinion of her is being clouded by the role she plays in most of her movies. kinda like regina askia from fortunes.
ReplyDeleteGO ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
ReplyDeleteAlex Okosi is a real inspiration
ReplyDeleteI wish Mimi would find out about people who are making waves in other fields besides the entertainment industry.
A job for you Ms. BellaNaija perhaps? :)
And Mona MimiMagazine has been around since 2005, so I wouldn't say it's a new mag
I love Liya also, can't stand June. Most annoying creature on the earth.
ReplyDeleteThankx for your comment on my blog.
pls for God's sake,Genevieve's pix has no place there,simple.
ReplyDeleterl and she should keep doing her thang
ReplyDeleteits not every one that wou;d say sumthing postive about u so
RE Bouquie:
ReplyDeleteYeah girl ur right! Not everyone would say something positive about you, but nothing is more painful when what is said is true!
Ladies be true to urselves. ALWAYS.
What in da world is Samantha Mumbojambo? doing in dat list. Yeah, she made it in d late 90s but so what after dat, nothing more. Apart from featuring in a few music videos for Jagged Edge and a few other artistes. Pshewww
ReplyDeleteSouth Africans are hot!!! Makes me proud to be one.
