Naija Girls Rock

I stayed up late watching the BET awards 2012. I did the same thing a few weeks back watching the BET Black Girls rock awards. It's really cool seeing Black Women celebrate Black Women. When i watch certain things i sticks to my brain days. So i haven't stopped thinking about Black Girls Rock. I've checked out their website, read news reviews and I just can't get the thought out of my head. It will be nice to see Naija Women celebrating Naija Women. Nigerian women are not given enough credit, We hold hold things down, We work, We support our Men, We raise our Kids, and we make sure we look good. We are Divas. I culled this from the highly controversial BBC documentary Welcome to Lagos
"It's the kind of single mindedness and strength that is common to a lot of the women here. Not only do they all pop out dozens of babies and cook and clean and look after the house but a vast majority of them have full on jobs too. Running their own businesses, hawking food, hustling with the best of them. So it might appear that the city is run by men, everyone knows that without the women the whole place will fall apart"
Naija Gilrls Rock!
Please note that not only do i not support the documentary, i actually condemn it because it shows such a slighted view of the beautiful city of Lagos.
