Follow Follow

Some tings dey tire me oh.............................Somethings really make me throw my hands up in the air and just say - 'I GIVE UP !'

One such thing is some people's ability to follow EVERY trend - without putting two brain cells together to ask themselves whether the trend even makes sense. Here are few examples of 'Follow Follow' that have left me in a state of wonderment.

(1) STUPID TATTOOS / TATTOOS ON VERY DARK SKIN
Rapper Gucci Mane (www.dailymail.co.uk)
My people what's the point? I have noticed some Naija people with very dark complexions getting tattoos that no-one can ever notice.......and the tattos end up looking like keloids. 

Some of them say they love tattoos because they are addicted to pain. My brothers and sisters if you desire pain.......one week in Kirikiri prison should help.

More surprising, I have seen Naija peeps with tattoos in a foreign language they don't even understand...... I kid you not.  For example, I was at a party in London one day, when I noticed a tattoo on one cute Naija babe's back. On closer inspection, I noticed the tattoo was in a language I couldn't read. 
Me: "What does that say dear?"
Girl (looking smug): "Oh my tat? It says 'God loves me - in Hindi"
Me: mmm (biting my tongue so as not to say something sarcastic)

My people, in Hindi oh!............................ Yoruba dey there, Ibo dey there, Hausa nko? Bini biko....even Pidgin sef !!! FOLLOW FOLLOW !



(2) LEGGINGS AS TROUSERS
Source: blogs.sundaymercury.net
Since leggings came back into fashion, the things my eyes have seen.....my mouth cannot even utter. I love, love fashion and I see it as a good way to express oneself. But.....there are limits oh!

Everytime I go out, I see all sorts of shapes and sizes in leggings - worn as trousers. If the person wearing it is a very young girl with a petite shape, the sight is a bit bearable. 

However, I keep on seeing some of my African sisters with heavy ikebe (backside) parading London in leggings they wear as trousers. I pity the poor leggings because I feel they must be begging for mercy - as they have stretched so much, lycra, cotton and nylon must don separate. (The lycra, cotton and nylon components must have gone their separate ways)

PS - I dont even want to get started on how many camel toes and cellulite puddings I have been accosted with.  Please oh...........FASHION TREND + FOLLOW FOLLOW = EYE SORE !!!!




(3) NAIJA CELEBS POUTING
Source: www.fotosearch.com
*pouting = To push one's lips or one's bottom lip forward as an expression of petulant annoyance or in order to make oneself look attractive**

Whenever I look at pics of 'Naija celebrities' -especially Nollywood actresses; I have noticed that quite a lot of them seem to pout whenever they pose for pictures. I really do not understand this trend.

A lot of caucasians pout (to make their lips appear bigger) because their lips are usually thinner than those of Africans..........HOWEVER, my brothers and sisters, you all know that we (Africans) are not lacking in that department. LOL

So please tell me why oh why, our so-called celebs have to copy this also. Abeg, una 'facial kpomo' dey sufficient.....................no need for enhancement oh !!! 

Even sef, how many Naija men dey look girl lips as the most attractive feature for im bodi ? Most men I know dey focus on the girl Face, Nkiru or her Azuka !! LOL
(Translation: How many Nigerian men actually fall for a girl because of her lips? Most men are initially attracted by a girl's face, boobs or backside !!)


(4) PUBLIC DISPLAY of AGBAYAISM
Just like the ladies who wear leggings as trousers; I cannot understand why a grown man will want to show his underwear in public.

This trend is bad enough on teenagers .......but when I see it on a grown man; I conclude the person must be an Agbaya (old fool).  The only time a man should display his underwear in public is when he is about to swim OR he is being paid to model them. Finito 

Honestly, whenever I see an adult with sagging jeans and boxers on show in public; all I can think about is solied nappies/ diaper.

This is one of those trends that separates those WITH and WITHOUT common sense. Call me old fashioned, but this trend is gross !




(5) EYELASHES AS BROOMS
Source: http://izismile.com/
Long eyelashes can make a woman look even more beautiful so I totally understand the current trend of having false eyelashes fixed.

However, some of these eyelashes can only be called 'Health and Safety' hazards'.  How do you know you have fixed a hazard on your eyes?.....: 
- If your lashes are long enough to braid......you are in trouble. 
- If they hamper your vision, ditto;
- If the whole day seems like 24 hours nightime.................you have to advice yourself seriously.
My people ........................I no fit shout. According to my people:........... FLY WEY NO DEY HEAR WORD, GO FOLLOW DEAD BODY ENTER GRAVE (The fly that refuses to heed advice will end up in a grave with a corpse)


This post reminded me of a lovely video I saw last year: 'Follow Follow' by Nigerian musician 'Gaise'. A lot of what he says makes real sense. Watch and enjoy:

  1. N.I.L, you are so right about our follow follow attitude without common sense.
    So also I cannot comprehend why some naija men will put on turtleneck Jumpers in that hot sun, in all in the name of fashion!

  8. Good post, simple reason is that Nigeria is a consumer nation. We consume every culture especially western culture but the trouble is we end up copying the wrong things.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hahaha! Tell them o...

    All true points. I'm not keen on tattoos but ridiculous ones even make it worse. Hindi ko, Chinese ni... Like seriously, can you even speak or read the language yourself??

    And thank you for telling those Nigerian celebrities to stop pouting like babies being breastfed.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Please tell them o! I agree with you on ALL points.
    The first time I noticed it, I actually called the guy to wear his trousers properly. He told me, in a very polite manner "this is the in thing for young boys now" My dear, you can imagine my "embarrassment" and I learnt to mind my business...

    ReplyDelete
  15. You are so right N.I.L. I seriously hate leggings on big woman, the sight is not pleasant.

    hahahaha at the lashes lol...

    ReplyDelete
  23. I totally, totally detest the sagging thing, it is immature and appalling, esp because most of them end up showcasing dirty boxers, ewwww.

    As for ladies on leggings as trousers, Nne no matter how long we scream they wont heed, its folly disguised as fashion!

    ReplyDelete
  24. nil..follow follow na instinct for most nigerians...monkey see monkey do..and its so freaking annoying..u need to see naija babes wearing bum shorts on black ass..that thing is soo annoying...

    ....
    I changed my address its now dammyjewel.blogspot.com

    ReplyDelete
  25. LWKMD I've never understood tattoos on dark skinned people. It usually ends up looking like a rash. Don't even get me started on face tattoos and such.

    As for the leggings. I think that people cant tell the difference between leggings (aka stretch pants) and tights (sheer). If you have proper figure to wear leggings as pants, then you needs to at least cover your nyash a little with a long tunice or lumberjack shirt or something

    ReplyDelete
  26. hahahahah! spot on....that Pouting ehn? Lawd have mercy. I am tired of seeing all sorts of pouts. It's like someone spread the word that it automatically makes people look sexy, even men do it now

    LMAO @ eyelashes as broom....lagos has plenty of those
    Lord save us from follow follow

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oops i meant women, not woman. I wanna add more, i saw a fire place in one nollywood movie and it wasn't shot abroad; i was so pissed off and couldn't comprehend the reason why a house in Nigeria should have a fire place mschewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

  30. ROTFL naijamum this is soo funny and true o!!! the leggings and eyelashes as broom had me rolling..LOL

    ReplyDelete
  31. You had me at eyelashes as brooms. Hilarious. As for tattoos in foreign languages...foolishness. Reminds me of the Oyinbo couple that though it was a good idea to get married abroad in a language they did not understand. The woman was being insulted and called names, and the couple were smiling and holding hands thinking their union was being blessed.....

    ReplyDelete
  32. LOLest .... made me laugh...agree with u 200% on all those points .... I cant stand the leggings trouser trend....eeeish...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I fittingth laugh NIL!!! OMG! That tattoo is something else. Na chocolate ice cream abi na wetin? why on your face? If na im Mama do am now we for shout child abuse but this is a grown adult doing that to himself. smh

    Another great post!

    ReplyDelete
  35. NIL:

    Oh my goodness! I don laff taya! Kpomo lips for real...No need for pouting at all! Some people already have a "natural pout"

    I have been subjected to the leggings eyesore and it is truly an assault on the eyes.

    As for the eyelashes that are long enough to braid....Chei! God forbid bad tin! Some are long enough to fan the next person! LOL!

    And don't even get me started on the tattoos! I detest them in ANY language.

    ReplyDelete
  36. the soiled diapers...now dat got me.......and the pouting........good one girl.....let them know dat old fashioned values still gets a 10 out of 10.....

    ReplyDelete
  37. The narrative is very funny indeed. However, the instances are really right as you have put them. The sagging aspect is one I so hate with everything within me. I always told my mates in college who did this that the culture they were imbibing originated from prisoners. I would tell them how cell-mates adopted this culture of Agbyanism to always keep their spent and shrinking trousers at an ankle's length as it was very clear they had no quick replacement. Call this my theory a myth; it was the story that was always handy at trying to make my college mates see reasons why they shouldn't continue in the act. How I hate sagging!!!!

  42. Hahahahaha. Loves it!

    I agree with you on all of the above.

    Some people just have a serious case of the folo-followitis : )

    ReplyDelete
  43. Eyelashes as brooms....lol. As for tatoos on skin. Can't stand 'em, whatever colour of skin.

    ReplyDelete
  44. As per pouting, we now have 'ponmo pouting.' Yes that's what we'll call it from now on. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Or (it gets worse)...'pouting the ponmo.'

    ReplyDelete
  46. lol this is so hilarious...
    what gets me the most is the tights for leggins and leggins for trousers foolishness, its actually quite disgusting to see nickers and private parts on public display - and what's worse its both young and old women going for it...

    ReplyDelete
  47. lol, this was hilarious but also true. The pouting this is so freaking annoying and it's not just celebs o, check out bbm dps and twitter avatars and you will be amazed. The worse part is that most of these pictures don't look sexy, so why bother? and why embarrass yourself?

    Don't even get me started with the tattoos and leggings. smh.
    It shall be well with all of us

  53. You are HILARIOUS! LOL at 'public dispay of agbayism'! I'm with you on the leggings as trousers thing. Please please ladies, check your underwear isn't showing through your leggings and if it is, then wear a long top!

    And don't get me started on sagging jeans! What is even worse is the trend for skinny jeans on guys (which I hate) but skinny saggy jeans! If your jeans are so tight it takes you 5 minutes to pour yourself into them in the morning, how is it then possible that they're still baggy round the waist that they fall halfway down your butt??

    *sigh* perhaps we're just getting old? :)

  62. This has to be one of the funniest post I've read from you, I know it was written a while ago o but just seeing it so I hope commenting now is not too late.. This is just hilarious "I pity the poor leggings because I feel they must be begging for mercy - as they have stretched so much, lycra, cotton and nylon must don separate"

    When I see boys with jeans hanging, i feel like givin them iladi (a slap on the bottom).. heeheheheeheh
