An African Miss World? Hold your breath!

Let’s face it. No black African woman is going to win the Miss World Finals beauty pageant outright any time soon. The facts—if we may call them that—fly in the face of the widely-held view that it is just a matter of time.
It is a contrarian view given that Afro-enthusiasts have been loudly harping the fact that Botswana’s Emma Wareus placed second, and more significantly, that Nigeria’s Agbani Darego took home the title in 2001. However, a cursory look at their frames suggests that they were one-offs. 
Three reasons inform this assertion.
First, a look at most of the contestants in the African franchises suggests a lot of the affluence associated with the emerging middle class, prevalent in many countries on the continent.
 
The winner of the 2010 edition, American Alexandria Mills, was a microcosm of what founder Eric Morley had in mind when he dreamed up the competition—a bag of bones. But despite the rather strict qualifications in place, most African contestants could barely balance on the catwalks in their home countries, badly weighed down by flabby outlines.
 
And this may not be about to change. A conference last month in the South African commercial capital of Johannesburg concluded that Africans were growing fatter. Yes, fatter. This may have been limited to the middle class but that is exactly the problem—that the African has also grown lazier, inviting lifestyle diseases that were a preserve of the West.
 
"In the past, we used to exercise without knowing it," the Associated Press quoted South African Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi as saying.
 
"You would walk a long distance to school. You would walk a long distance to work," Motsoaledi, 52, recalled of his childhood. "But now, I'm an African whose child is dropped at the gate of the school in a car, then picked up at the end of the day and put in front of the TV." Secondly, the competition has been biased against the typical African woman since its inception.
 
The rotund shapes sported by these women have never been swimsuit-wear material, despite the adoption of some Western habits such as the gym and which have over successive generations watered down the gene for portliness.
 
It is safe to say that the African woman has never really been in with a chance in the competition.
 
Lastly, the definition of beauty. The jury is still out over trailblazers—some would say the unconventional—such as Alek Wek and Kenya’s Ajuma Nasenyana. The former has been called many things, not least of all downright ugly.
 
The use of such models—cleverly called “exotic” has stoked more controversy than sold covers, with critics claiming their deployment on international runways is more a political message than a fashion statement.
 
While the story of some weather-beaten white cameraman discovering a gem from far –flung tribes such as the Turkana of Kenya, the Herero of Namibia or the Afar of Ethiopia always makes for good reading, it is in many Western views, a case of not seeing the emperor’s nakedness.
This is the controversy that has raged around the award of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize to jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiabo.
 
“If China is to advance in harmony with other countries and become a key partner in upholding the values of the world community, it must grant freedom of expression to all its citizens,” Thorbjorn Jagland, the chair of the Nobel Committee penned in the New York Times.
 
But which “world” was he referring to? The West, and its values.
Given that the judging parameters are Western, for now we can either be content with the sideline prizes such as “Beauty with a purpose’’ won by Kenya's Natasha Metto for her work with jiggers—that scourge of African children—or come up with our own competitions such as the Bobaraba— a national dance craze popular in Cote d’Ivoire.
It translates to “Big Bottom” in the local Djoula language.

The Black woman’s new look

"Naked woman, black woman. Dressed in your color that is life, in your form that is beauty!", reads the famous line from Leopold Senghor’s Femme Noire. And yet, day in day out, the man regarded as one of the most revered African intellectuals of the last century is ridiculed down to his toe nails. Natural beauty? What natural beauty. From New York, London, Paris to Brazzaville, via Abidjan, Bamako, Dakar, Douala…, it is becoming increasing rare to come across Black women strutting their naturally strong feminine magnetism. Apart from the outrageous skin lightening phenomenon, the sexy afro hair has not only given way to synthetic hair, but hairs that are grown on Indian, Brazillian and Chinese heads. Congo, a typical African setting, has become the quintessential burlesque of the counterfeited African woman. Needless to say, it is a high return enterprise for a woman who proudly calls herself the Congolese "Marilyn Munroe"!
It is a fine September morning in Brazaville, Congo, and the bourgeois species has invaded the main morgue in the city. They are here to make sure that the body of a defunct dear one is properly appareled and ready for a big showy funeral. As paradoxical as it may seem, it is here in this morgue that the tired flabby skin and breasts of a corpse imbibed with hydroquinone is reborn. The low neckline dress or decolté thrown on the corpse to show its expensive breast job is confusing! "If God is dead, everything is permitted". Dostoevsky and Nietzsche couldn’t be more right. After all, humility is a tributary of that great river called pride. In Brazzaville, what should be a place of meditation and mourning has become a replica of the red carpet at the Cannes film festival. Women go to funerals to show off their curves, bosoms, new hair. Funerals are all about whetting sexual appetites. Mourning has been relegated to the background.
But even more surprising is that out of the 500 women present here at the morgue, 480 have long discarded their natural hair. They are either wearing wigs or weaves. Woe betide anyone who dares break the code of new womanhood and not wear a wig! And not just any wig. It has to be Brazilian or Indian! Insults and mockery against the prodigal daughter who doesn’t are virulent. "Brazilian" and "Indian" hair are second to none. And the Indians, whose hairs are transformed into wigs and are certainly unaware of their own abuse, continue to brighten the days of hundreds of Congolese women who line up to buy or rent fake hair with a mutinous urge, thousands of miles away.
In a corner of the morgue, one of the womenfolk’s "Indian" hair flows all the way down to caress her huge round buttocks, whilst her three year old daughter’s "Brazilian" dances the samba on her shoulders. "Without it (the Indian), I feel uneasy," says the Indian-haired Black mother, with a smirk. "From the first lady to the very last, we are all keen on frills, without which we are nothing". No one dares to challenge her as all eyes covetously move to another woman in the middle of the room, brazenly sporting nothing natural; from her bleached skin, false eyelashes, enhanced breasts, false nails, nose job, surgically implanted bluish green eyes, and of course her long Beyonce-looking wig. She is apparently a Congolese French-born Parisian gallery manager. "Like all women, I need to change my hairstyle from time to time for that surprise effect. This requires wigs or weaves, without which I am not in harmony with myself" she says.
And Congo is the land of The Miss. There are so many pageants to make Donald Trump run for dear life! The list is inexhaustible… Miss Fifty (years), Miss Forty (years), Miss fight against flies, Miss Total, Miss Fortune … All these women spend up to 700 Euros each (450 000 FCFA) on wigs. The Lace Wig, especially, can easily reach the sum of 1000 Euros.
"As long as there are black women, I wont be found wanting"
And in this big burlesque oratorio – where the most unnatural is queen – a young woman has found her perfect act. She organizes the orchestra of fakes. Thirty something, her unnaturally lightened skin is imbibed in cortisone. She would be white had it not been for those dark and stubbornly natural knuckles. Nonetheless, she’s got the title all the Bacongo women would die for: "the Congolese Marilyn Monroe". She is a natural blonde. Natural because her wig is. She gets her hair from Brazil. A businesswoman at heart, she does not own a wig or weave shop. No, she does not. She has made it big by renting out wigs that come straight from Brazil. More than four times per year, she travels from Brazzaville to Rio. Her business is a force to reckon with.
Every single Saturday, a myriad of superficial and extremist women armed to the nail hasten to her home at dawn, hours before she gets out of her satin linen bed. They have to be among the first arrivals to get the best. They are all fanatic converts of the "mine" (the art of borrowing clothes or accessories). Among them, are those who would rent a wig for 10 000 FCFA at the weekend, while there are those who rent a wig for 30 000 FCFA per week. The business woman has hundreds of customers in Brazzaville, with the exception of those who live on the outskirts.
Only recently, she rented a wig to a Member of Parliament for 50 000 CFA francs for two days. "The MP counted five fresh notes of 10 000 CFA francs without batting an eye, and she did not even try to bargain," enthused the entirely artificial Marilyn Munroe, adding: "As long as there are black women, I wont be found wanting: my head is throbbing with so many ideas for black beauty …" One of her biggest wishes is to have more customers like that good MP. And for good reason: "wigs rented by VIPs are returned intact, unlike those rented out to those ordinary girls". Besides, she wants to penetrate foreign markets. "Why not Cameroon where even the simple braids have not been seen for the past five thousand or so years?"
Her success has however stirred jealousy. And gossiping is rife: "Witchcraft partly explains her success," "She has lovers in every street corner, they are the ones who give her the money for her numerous trips," etc.. But "Marilyn Monroe" won’t be bothered. "It is true that many men want me! But my one and only boyfriend is enough!" What she fails to explain is her boyfriend’s probable fetishist tendencies; one that involves dating a woman who is artificially made from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet with the exception of her…
Notwithstanding the burlesque charade, "Marilyn Monroe" can be spared for one simple reason: Congo is an open madhouse. A place where everyone applauds everyone for no reason at all. On all fronts and at all levels there is someone ready to applaud… an applause for power cuts, one for water cuts, another one for that new dance move in town, how about a big one for Marilyn Munroe’s new wigs, an even louder one for that skin lightening product that bleaches the stubbornly dark skin on the knuckles? Yes the one with its own Black mind! Here, Michael Jackson is not seen as an artist, but one to be emulated.
A few months ago, Kenyan women had declared a sex strike to urge politicians to make more constitutional reforms. Men should do the same to encourage women to become more natural. But alas! some of the very men who can encourage that change are busily applying skin lightening creams and lotions. Do not say you were not forewarned, if you come across a poster with a male Congolese singer.

G20 Leaders Must Renew Their Commitment to Global Development

By Kofi Annan
Ahead of today’s G20 Summit in South Korea, two issues stand out for those of us who take an interest in international development.
First, the concepts of fairness, balance, and the common good have experienced a welcome renaissance as world leaders have had to remind each other of these universal principles to avoid a potentially devastating escalation of their disagreements on currency values and trade imbalances.
Second, while it remains to be seen to what extent it will help to bring countries’ contending economic strategies into line, this rediscovery of basic values comes just as the G20 is beginning to include international development issues in its deliberations. Naturally, it is my profound hope that the principles of fairness, balance and the common good which have become so popular with G20 leaders lately will also inform these discussions — and not only those on issues like undervalued currencies, lopsided trade statistics or skewed consumption patterns however important they may be.
Unfortunately, the signs are decidedly mixed. On the one hand, the global repercussions of the financial and economic crises have clearly nourished an understanding of the true extent and consequences of our interdependence. At least for a moment, there seems to have been a consensus that a world that restricts the benefits of globalization to a few at the expense of many is neither fair nor stable; that one cannot address trade imbalances without addressing the development imbalances that underlie them; and that it is in everyone’s interest to see the developing world graduate out of instability and economic dependence as soon as possible.
However, all these realizations have not yet led to the fundamentally different policies that are so urgently needed. In fact, in many G20 countries the crises, and particularly their effects on the world’s poor, appear already all but forgotten and business and politics have resumed with little regard to the damage caused, the trust destroyed, and the lessons learned. Several G20 members have even used the economic upheavals as an excuse to tighten protectionist policies in direct contrast to their repeated pledges to keep markets open. As so often, developing countries have been among the primary victims.
This is deeply unfortunate as, in my view, the G20 states, both individually and collectively, are the natural drivers of development. They are, by definition, the countries with the capacity, resources, influence and, thus, the moral obligation and responsibility to help those less fortunate.
Many of them have only recently graduated into major economies and their developmental experiences are still fresh. These countries understand that the key to development is not charity but equitable, job creating, and ideally green economic growth fueled by investment in the productive sectors, agriculture, infrastructure, renewable energy, trade, knowledge and technical skills. They also appreciate that the most important sources of development finance must be domestic revenues and private sector investment and that aid’s main value other than in meeting urgent humanitarian needs, is to increase capacities, reduce dependence upon external support, and to lubricate and leverage investment in the sources of growth and good governance.
It is thus encouraging that the development agenda proposed by the South Korean presidency speaks as much to these realities as to a new sense of partnership and genuine mutual accountability. The document, as far as it is known, covers all the right points, including the unblocking of existing initiatives and the need to complement the efforts of other actors such as the G8, the G77 and, of course, the United Nations. If the leaders assembled in Seoul decide to take it on with the same universal values in mind that they now invoke in the areas of trade and exchange rates, we will have gained much.
Having said all this, the implementation of the valuable ideas entailed in the Korean proposal should not be made dependent on the G20 taking them on as a group. While a renewed commitment to development by the world’s most powerful group would certainly be a major step in the right direction and send an important political signal to developing countries, it is of course not enough on its own to overcome the immense challenges that these countries face. Nor does it necessarily invalidate some of the concerns raised regarding the G20’s legitimacy and capacity.
What really counts is that each member of the group internalizes the concepts of fairness, balance, and the common good and adapts its behaviour accordingly. If the G20 setup can help them do so by playing to its unquestionable strengths of composition, reach and sheer economic prowess, this will be all the better and should not only be welcomed, but encouraged.

Laziness will send us to an early grave

Dr Richard Weiler & Dr Emmanuel Stamatakis, Sports and Exercise experts
Our lives are full energy-saving devices, from ready meals to remote controls, all designed to make our lives easier.
But in this week’s Scrubbing Up London-based sports-medicine experts Dr Richard Weiler from the Homerton Hospital and Dr Emmanuel Stamatakis from University College London argue they also make us lazier and create risks to our health.
A sedentary lifestyle is undeniably an environmental disease in its own right – with countless unpleasant signs and symptoms, which all lead to an early grave.
Humans are designed to move, not stay still. Millions of years hunting, farming and intense manual labour have shaped our bodies to their current form.
But suddenly (literally suddenly in evolutionary terms) we have found ourselves in an era when moving has become redundant.
Science and technology have undoubtedly made our lives easier
 
Time, energy and money-saving advances have mechanized our way of life and reduced the amount of time we spend moving
 
Opportunities to sit are virtually everywhere: at work, school, during transportation and at home. Quick fixes for health, appearance and emotional state are abundant and usually somebody else’s responsibility.
Since most people blame lack of time as their main excuse for not being active, it is ironic that on average we waste over three hours watching television per day.
We have not been educated that it doesn’t cost anything to be more active in everyday life. For example use the car less, walk more, walk up the escalators and use the stairs instead of the lift.
Inactivity risks
The values of active ancient civilisations – such as the Greeks, for whom physical and mental health were top priorities – are long forgotten.
 
In essence, our environment has made it easy for us to live inherently lazy, slothful and sedentary lives.
With advances in measuring physical activity levels, we have discovered, to our horror, that 95% of the UK population are not even doing the minimum recommended amounts of physical activity to confer even basic health benefits (30 minutes’ moderate to vigorous physical activity on at least five days a week – or the equivalent).
Whether slim or fat, a person leading a sedentary lifestyle has similar chances of dying young to a smoker.
Statistically, every week spent inactive is roughly equivalent to smoking a packet of cigarettes.
Conversely, becoming physically active at any age can reverse the health risks of sedentary living, where the least active stand to gain the most by moving more.
However, unlike smoking, sedentary lifestyles lead to more than 40 medically recognised chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, mental illness, dementia, some cancers. It also leads to reduced quality of life and, perhaps most importantly, unhappiness.
Inactivity in children leads to obesity and reduced academic performance across all socio-economic classes.
And inactivity among working adults leads to increased time off work and decreased productivity.
In the elderly, quality of life and independence are severely reduced, whilst health care costs are dramatically increased. Few areas of life escape unpleasant consequences. This burden on individual and society is enormous.
“Nanny-state!” is cried from the rooftops when attempts are made to inform people about their unhealthy behaviours, yet we allow greedy corporate advertising to influence our way of life and increase our consumption.
Market forces, mainly driven by the pharmaceutical industry, have turned each of the signs and symptoms of sedentary living into seemingly acceptable recognised “medical” diseases.
It makes no sense to throw billions of pounds at firefighting the symptoms whilst ignoring the main underlying cause.
In general, we have embraced our sedentary environment and, as such, perhaps ought not consider ourselves victims of these (mostly) self-inflicted chronic diseases. But, how much longer can we afford to remain stubbornly resistant to change and solutions?
Sedentary living is the most prevalent disease, biggest silent killer and greatest health threat facing developed countries.
Awareness, understanding and recognition of this major problem will help us all contemplate behaviour and environmental change with unusually welcome green outcomes. The solution is obvious: move!

Black women getting a raw deal in cancer treatment

Black women are neglected in cancer research
Each day around 125 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, but are they all getting the same chances?
In this week’s Scrubbing Up, biochemist Abi Ajose-Adeogun from Better Days Cancer Care – a cancer charity for African Caribbean women – and its founder, Marina Raime, argue that black women are getting a raw deal.
They say black women with breast cancer suffer from higher death rates and that research carried out mainly on white women can produce skewed data.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in the UK with approximately 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year.
For many years the “face of breast cancer” has been that of white middle class women, who have been used to illustrate posters and be in adverts.
The lack of any other ethnic image has led to the perception, by many, that other ethnic groups particularly black women are not at significant risk of developing breast cancer.
“Black women develop breast cancer on average 10 to 20 years younger”
And this emphasis on white women may have cost lives.
Research has continued to focus primarily on white women, leaving unearthed for many years the effects of breast cancer on different ethnic groups.
Only in the last few years have studies demonstrated that there are significant differences in the biology and epidemiology of breast cancer in black women.
But the lack of focus on this area has meant that the outcome for black women diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK is worse than their white counterparts leading to an inequality in survival rates.
In the UK, only a handful of studies have been conducted looking at black women and breast cancer.
These studies have confirmed the results of the vast number of studies conducted in the US on African-American women.
They demonstrated that black women develop breast cancer on average 10-20 years younger than white women.
In addition to this, a significant number of black women develop a more aggressive form of breast cancer. The upside for black women is that they are less at risk of developing breast cancer but for those that do develop breast cancer the outlook is worse than their white counterparts.
These differences – the younger age of onset and the more aggressive nature of the cancer – can reduce the chances of survival. And to make matters worse many of the younger women tend to be misdiagnosed and/or diagnosed late.
In addition, as a result of research being based on white women the breast cancer screening age was set at 50, which, based on the younger age of onset of disease, is too high for black women.
Also the misconception by black women themselves that they are not at risk of developing breast cancer also leads to delayed diagnosis.
Added to this the cancer is often more aggressive in black women – a type of breast cancer called triple negative breast, which is little understood or researched – further hampering survival chances.
Now Cancer Research UK and Breakthrough Breast Cancer are studying it.
But unless we want more unnecessary deaths we must correct the balance by lowering the screening age for black women; ensuring more research is conducted; introducing health education programmes to raise awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors of breast cancer; and supporting programmes to eliminate the barriers that black women face when accessing breast health services

Female circumcision and Ugandan politics

(A comprehensive discussion of female genital mutilation is available here)
Although Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM) has been condemned by international bodies as an abuse of human rights, a vast majority of people from the Sebei tribe in Uganda still practice the dangerous tradition.
Despite the practice having been banned outright in the eastern African country since last year, some 200 young girls from the Sebei tribe have “willingly” registered to be circumcised in December this year.
The practice, which is common among people from the Sebei tribe of Bukwo and Kapchora districts at the foot of mountain Elgon, 400 kms east of Kampala, is categorized by World Health Organization as Female Genital Mutilation due to the damage it causes to circumcised women’s sexuality. It also leads to various complications.
After confirming that women in Sabiny tribe are among the most affected by the practice, anti Female genital mutilation advocate, Dr Betty Nalongo, explained how the bloody practice affects women: “FGM, refers to the removal of the external female genitalia. It is not only painful but also makes the victim never to enjoy sex after the mutilation.”
Notwithstanding its adverse effects, including childbirth related complications, a Sabiny man, Rogers Kyesang says that people from his tribe want their “girls and women to be circumcised because circumcised women are less interested in sex and therefore can not have extra-marital relationships while in marriage.”
But Cecilia Chemutai, 30, a woman who underwent the painful experience 10 years ago says: “I regret why I accepted to be circumcised. I feel much pain during sexual intercourse with my husband… and childbirth is very difficult”. She does not understand why girls voluntarily go for the exercise.
One of the girls who has decided to get circumcised in December this year, Gladys Ketrai, 19, says she wants “to be circumcised” in order for her to “fit well among the already circumcised women” of her “tribe.” “It is an old tradition which all women in the past underwent. Why should I avoid the exercise when my mother and grandmother went through it?” she argues.
Meanwhile, a government official in Sebei, Thomas Sakkwa has hinted that the decision from the girls are anything but voluntary. “Some of the young girls are teased into being circumcised… by elderly women. Whenever they they come across uncircumcised girls, they tease them that they are not fit to be within their company because they are not yet circumcised.”
But with all the government official’s concern, no politician has dared to remind the people of Sebei of the illegality of the practice due to the pending elections. They fear that any attack on the practice could cost them vital votes due to the fact that many local people there revere circumcision. A law against Female Genital Mutilation has been in place in Uganda for several months.
Uganda is to hold presidential and general elections in Febuary, 2011, and many people hope that the law against circumcision will be resurrected to save girls and young women from the blade after the elections.

South Africa Siphiwe Tshabalala Robbed at Gunpoint

Ed Aarons
Bafana Bafana midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala has become the latest high profile player to fall victim of South Africa’s notoriously high crime-rates.
The 26-year-old escaped unhurt as armed robbers stormed into his house and made off with cell-phones and wallets.
Tshabalala, who scored the opening goal of the 2010 World Cup, was held at gun point as the raid took place.
But it could have been a lot worse for the Kaizer Chiefs star, who told his club’s website that the intruders had recognised him.
“My manager had sent someone to my house to collect my portraits,” Tshabalala said.
“As the gentleman was coming through the door, a heavily armed man came in pointing guns at us. I was with my two cousins and my friend when this happened.
“When they realised that it was my house, they left after only taking phones and wallets,” he added.
Tshabalala has been out of action since last month after he picked up a hip injury against Sierra Leone in a qualifier for the 2012 African Nations Cup.
He was linked with moves to Europe after his World Cup exploits but stayed with Chiefs after signing a new deal.
The left-winger is not the first high-profile Bafana star to be hit by crime – Orlando Pirates international Benson Mhlongo was kidnapped by carjackers back in August and was also recently arrested for carrying an unlicensed firearm.
Meanwhile it has also emerged that the house of Ghanaian players Andre and Jordan Ayew was robbed while they where away for Marseille’s Champions League match in Slovakia.
An investigation has been launched in Marseille after their villa was broken into.
Police said the criminals stole hi-fi equipment, jewelry and expensive watches and also damaged household electrical goods.
The Ayew brothers where in Zilina during the robbery, which occurred Wednesday night with Marseille beating the Slovakian team 7-0.

Ghana FA Rejects Government Request on Abedi Pele

Nyarko Benso
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has rejected a request by government to present Abedi Pele as a candidate for a Caf executive committee position.
The GFA has reported the latest development to football’s world governing body, Fifa and Caf.
The GFA chose its president Kwesi Nyantakyi three months ago to contest next year’s elections.
Nyantakyi filed his nomination papers and has been confirmed by Caf to contest the post.
But in a dramatic twist of events, the Ministry of Sports wrote to ask the GFA to name the ex-Ghana captain for the position.
But a stern reply from the GFA, signed by all the 22 members of its executive committee, told Sports Minister Akua Sena Dansua that her directive will not be carried out.
“The executive committee of the Ghana Football Association finds this latest twist as unfortunate and clearly confusing,” the statement signed by the general secretary of the Ghana FA Kofi Nsiah read.
“We write to inform you that the Executive Commitee of this FA is unable to act or take any further action on your request.”
Making its case on the independence of football associations from governmental interference, the GFA quoted Article 18 of the Caf statutes to buttress its point.
“The decision of the GFA is in pursuant of Caf statutes that state that names of candidates for membership of Caf and Fifa executive committees shall be submitted by the relevant national associations,” the statement added.
Under Fifa rules, national football associations must not be subject to government control.
Similar actions by the governments in Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Kenya have resulted in bans from international football.
Ghana’s last executive committee member was the late Sam Okyere but it has been more than two decades since.
Abedi Pele lost in his bid to get on the committee in 2004 when he lost to the Nigerian Amos Adamu.
The latest directive is likely to increase growing tensions between the Youth and Sports Ministry and the GFA over what executives of the football association feel is undue interference from government in the way they run their affairs.
