"Identify your mountain, your purpose in life, so that the work you do is meanigful. I run into people everyday who are basically climbing the wrong mountain. People who have spent 20 years or more of thier life doing something that has no deep purpose for them, Suddenly they look back and go "What have i been doing?"
- Paul Stoltz

MBGN 2012 CONTESTANTS: Can't we do better?

I really think...we should have done better with this girls....considering how we have been struggling on the world stage for a while now! It appears they are yet to be cured of the Human/Brazilian hair fever.....it has a way of limiting our true African beauty. There is no harm considering more of  the natural look; if you remove the extensions and the make up, how many will match up?  Women need to be comfortable in thier own skin, it works magic.We can do better....but to be optimistic, i hope for the best and may the best girl win; Somebody's life is about to change, that's certain.
 I am curious...how come, there are so many ibo girls? I am hoping there improved IQ this time....
See the contestant...what do you think?
