CANAGHANARIAN....what are you like....lol!!!!

[xoxocandice17xoxo]

omg your heartbreak story is sad. guys are such cowards! they give off the wrong signals and string girls along. sometimes they like to keep their options open. if i were you i would have told him off lol. i would have cussed him out and then moved on. don't worry shirley, you are a beautiful girl with a lot of spunk, intelligence, class and style. i am sure there is a guy out there who will admire those traits about you. i love your videos! Good Luck! -3

Oh wow! I'm so stupid I spelled my country name wrong =P

[OhSoYasmine]

I really love your personality <3, Cheers from Saudi Araibia

[collegeopera]

Not sure why the fuss but she could have Canadian and Ghanaian citizenship simply because of her mother's ethnicity (and very likely Nationality).

Thanks Shirley for a lovely video. I quite agree with your views stated here.

[1234Tasnim]

Lol Canaghanarian

[moonwalker585]

You are beautiful, smart and funny! Glad I subscribed! :)

[sade8821]

i wasnt trying to offend u shirley!!! i love ur vids!! but i was just wondering.

[gyal123]

u are pretty, and your hair is gorgeous, u should do tht often!!

[michelle3114]

You just have the most beautiful face :)

[shirleybeniang]

I sincerely hope that you watch my videos, because of who I am. And not to put me into social/racial/stereotypical boxes! But hey, whatevs! :) xo

[florabundanced]

@shirleybeniang Shirley, you are by FAR my favorite Youtuber!!! Everything about you just radiates calmness and beauty. I totally wish that I knew you personally! Looking forward to your videos in this new year. Happy new year, gorgeous!!! =)

[93KrayZ]

@sade8821 is that different to me calling myself Nigerian even though i wasn't born there? (don't take it rudely, was just interested in what u had to say)

[sade8821]

@93KrayZ lol see i was a little confused thats why i asked her. and i just had a debate about this with my friends a few mins ago lol. to me nationality is the country where u are born. if ur born in america=american, africa=african, asia=asian. where as ethnicity is ur racial ancestry, brazilan, chinese, nigerian. so in your case (and this is just my opinion lol) your nationality is where ever u were born im gonna guess America but ur ethnicity is nigerian. u get what im trying to say?? lol

[moonwalker585]

@sade8821 Lol! You sound really dumb! She explained her Race background, just as the question asked! And FYI Africa and Asia are not a countries, they are continents! You need to educate yourself! Loool!

[sade8821]

@moonwalker585 lmao canadain is not a race ITS A NATIONALITY!!!! and i asked her that because she is not from there nor is she a citizen there. so how can she say she canadain?? and i know that they are continents the point i was trying to say is this example: india is in asia so if a person is born in india they are asian as well as indian.DUMBASS

MAYBE U SHOULD EDUCATE URSELF!!!

[moonwalker585]

@sade8821 She explained where her Parents where from. She didn't say she was from there, she explained Her Mother is Canadian/Ghanaian and her Father is Nigerian. If you knew they are continents, why did you say they were countries? I suggest you just be quiet and move on, because the more you spew, the dumber you sound! LOOL!!

[sade8821]

@moonwalker585 if a person says they're canadian (as she did) one would assume that they were either from there or live there. so what are u talking about?. and shirley already gave me her point of view so i got what i wanted and i see that ur not seeing this from the technical aspect as i am so ur right i will move on because i cant dumb it down anymore for u

[moonwalker585]

@sade8821 What is wrong with her identifying with what she wants to? Do you know her personally? And what the fuck does it matter anyway? You. Are. Dumb. Move on little girl. Move on...

[sade8821]

@moonwalker585lol listen....she said we can ask her anything. isnt that the point of this video???

[moonwalker585]

@sade8821 People like you make me laugh! LOOL! "Technical aspect". Good choice of words there! LOOOL! Move on...

[sade8821]

wasnt trying to come off rude...just wondering =)

[sade8821]

how can u say that ur canadian if u werent born or a citizen there?? nationality and ethnicity are two different things.

[14TINI]

I too get kind of irritated with the different dress sizes. I just make sure that instead of checking the UK sizes, I checkt he European sizes, so I now know that in every shop I go into I am a Eur 36 and you must be a 34(top shop size 8 i think) :-)

[AnnaAndRachel100]

your stunning and i want your hair. nom.

[cfeagin001]

aaawww... she's adorable!

[philigall20]

I know 'Beniang' is your surname but I never came across any Nigerian with that surname lol. Unusual!!

[sherocksweaves]

@philigall20 her name is shirley b. eniang. b is her middle initial. :-)

[VivaciousGlamour]

This might be a bit late but could you talk about your haircare and say what you think about the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil shampoo in one of your videos? (I saw that you're thinking of buying it on twitter)

[neisy1]

[SuperMsChevious]

[missk1992]

I remember the first video that made me subscribe to u, i think it was a q/a when u talked about some tough times at school n being made fun of but still finding the confidence to be yourself.

[kerioppi9]

I agree you are an inspiration!

[cassochinadoll]

Haha I bet he is feeling stupid now. He is gonna regret that one if he ever sees you again.

[lavitaebella35]

"But let's face it sometimes we need some chocolate" hahaha you are hilarious, funny, ABSOLUTELY gorgeous, you've got your head and heart in the right place, and you're honestly my biggest role model. <3

Oh and may God bless the poor chap that stood you up.....who stands someone up when that girl looks like a model?!?!

Someone as beautiful as you are inside and out doesn't come around often!

[LadyLaureBelle]

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! Is it still the peruvian hair? is it naturally that curly/wavy? you look stunning! :)

[heycharlieanne]

I waited till I was married and so did my husband, and it is SUCH a beautiful thing to have shared ourselves with only one another.

[pinkertonXweez]

Shirley! You should visit Canada one day! Just the fact that you'd be in the same country would excite me x

[dehjavoo]

O wow.didn't realize it cool

[dehjavoo]

Your a quarter white.??

[arlettegyslain]

do you think of yourself as mixed race or black . hope you dont get offended, people get touchy when it comes to race. im also 1/4 white and people are usually very suprised coz i look black. but hey whatevs

[shirleybeniang]

@arlettegyslain I think of myself as a citizen of the world. xo

[abialicia]

love. this. video.

[BeautySavvy]

I was also stood up, in the same situation when I was a teenager, I was so crazy about him. It SUCKED!!!!!!

[Thehannablog]

you're so amazing. My role-model #1

[thewritergrl]

I agree with what you said about sex before marriage, you probably didn't want to give too much personal info away which is understandable but are you waiting until you're married because of your religion?

[funkiichiicka]

BMT rofl!!! That was such a sad story though. His loss!!! x

[LucyEmber]

You are such an intelligent, gorgeous and wise person. I get so excited whenever I see your videos in my sub box, because I know it's not gonna be a stupid, half-hearted thing. You're probably my favorite YouTuber because it feels like you genuinely care about your audience and you inspire me so much to get myself together, and especially after seeing this; to love myself. Thanks Shirley.

Stay yourself,

<3 Lucy.

[shirleybeniang]

@LucyEmber Hi Lucy, your comment has just put a huge smile on my face. It's people like you that keep me doing what I do! Thank you ever so much! :) xo

[VivaLaMakeupTV]

I love your hair this way! <3

[loickandtinie]

it was nice to see your personality come out! i love it! You're the kind of lady that I would want my brother to marry. He's kind and funny... ;) *nigerian accent*Are you interested? Joke. I don't even have a brother but if I did, I would want him to marry you. You're an inspiration on soooo many levels.

[LeaDee9]

[heevans94]

[kit0k0]

You're so amazing! I think waiting is the best decision I've ever made... I'm almost 19 and couldn't ever imagine myself being happy if I'd engaged in intercourse. Not to pass judgement or anything but it is a big deal and I don't think a lot of girls realize that. Good stuff Shirley, love your videos!

[Kittylove5]

Thanks for sharing, kept my attention.

[staygoldx0]

I LOVE this ask video. You got so personal, which most people don't. :)

[jewlzoo]
