Obude Taiwo Tells His Bleaching Story And How He Got Saved.

My Netherlands based friend Obude (of many years) is not a blog visitor but he shared his story on facebook and I asked for his permission to share it with you all here on the blog.
He used to be a chronic skin bleacher but he got saved from the spirit of bleaching and tells how he struggled to be free.

saved from skin bleaching creams,Obude is still on the road to recovery.

Obude says ''I used to think being light in completion was cute, yes I was naive, call it what you like, though I got some good compliments, spent close to 200euros just to buy creams every time i needed to,i was afraid of walking in the heat of the sun because I was afraid I would get dark.


I panicked when my cream was almost finishing, made calls to get more, but some good friends tried to let me know that it was not good what I was doing but like always i brushed it off, I thought otherwise, my friend Edith Osawe Franken was bold enough one day she asked me ''Taiwo why are you using cream?

 I was shocked ...I was in denial I said ''no I am not using cream'' she said ''if you are please stop,its not good for you'' I felt bitter, I felt ashamed, we parted, but then I continued using my cream but then my friend Clark from the United States sent me an inbox message asking me ''Taiwo you know I love you as a brother right? so please I am going to tell you this, why are you doing this to yourself, I used to admire your colour now its something else please bro if you are using cream please stop''

 I did not reply to him.

 I continued until I met my baby Veronica Irenosen Arebun,she looked at me and said ''why are you doing this to yourself? why all the cream, why all the worries? you are a fine man you don't need all this,please do one thing for me, please stop with the cream!!''

 I said to myself no not again and I promised to stop but I did not, it was like an addiction,but her perseverance and words finally kicked in and I stopped, but for the first two weeks I could not look at myself in the mirror, I went from been light skin to black not just black but black.

 I panicked, got a lot of rashes on my fore head,my friend If Ero saw me and asked me ''daddy what is the problem with you?'' I said I got pimples and she gave me some cream to use to clear it, which I did.

 Today its all getting better, I am happy again, I love me now, I love my look, I don't worry anymore if I have bleaching cream or not ,I just have rest of mind.

Brothers and sisters let us be proud of the colour that God CREATED us with and forget about being light or dark. I realise now that black is truly beautiful, learn from my story. stay blessed.
