Serwaa Ampaafo is an unhappy woman considering the applause Jamaican athlete Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce has been receiving.
According to the critic, the athlete would never be able to compete in any competition that requires mental and brain power.
She trivialised her win at the World Athletics Championship in Oregon where Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce won big.
In a series of Facebook posts, Serwaa Ampaafo was angry at the social media plaudits the Jamaican athlete has been receiving. According to her, she could only win with her legs and not her brain.
She also questioned Fraser-Pryce’s ‘hideous’ wigs which according to her, could not win in any competition that is shockingly groundbreaking.
Good you won with your legs in athletics and not in any event which involves complex brain activity; Because there is no way these brains covered in those hideous wigs can ever win in any competition that is shockingly groundbreaking. Clowns!
Serwaa Ampaafo, by this post, has come under severe scrutiny and bashing for writing those words about the talented sprinter.
‘What happened to Women Empowerment’ many have asked. Can’t women be happy for women who are winning?
Well, these reactionary comments were written under Serwaa Ampaafo’s controversial Facebook post. Check some out:

I don’t know who you are. I think you are being ignorantly absurd with your comment. Athleticism involves physical strength and more mental strength for the athlete to perform. I’m sure you wet at the names of some footballers, do you think they use their heads in playing to entertain you?Have you ever run 100 or 50 meters before? These are some comments that make people call someone like you stupid. It will be for your own good to not comment on something your knowledge is not renowned at. Let me ask you this. What great achievement have you done that is even near what these ladies have done?

To the crux of the matter:
You see the African continent is not the only thing that has become a dumping site for European/American/Asian waste products but sadly the bodies of Africans as well.
To Europeans and their neighbors African lands and their bodies are not only a market for their surplus goods but also a huge a space for their waste. They generate a lots of waste and Africans are the largest consumer of this hence maximizing revenue in Western and Eastern coffers —From used cars, clothes, Electronic gadgets, hair etc.
I’ll stick to hair today;
Africa’s position on hair matters just like many other issues is a pathetic one.
Any right thinking person understands the global hair business is a huge party and Africans are not invited; No other race imports Afro-hair thus leaving Africans at the consumer end to create a trade deficit which destabilizes their economies in a lot of ways. All Afro-hairs on the market are made from synthethic fibres by same folks who supply human hair.
According to a Reuter business study, Africans spend not less than $10 billion on European/Asian human hair.
How do they get ths hair to even sell in such large quantities?
Well.. these hairs are usually from their dead or some willing participants from the East engaging in some ritual.
As an African you may see choice and beauty when it comes to relaxing your hair and wearing wigs but unfortunately folks see a circus and a clown. At your blind side they mock you.
