She said "77% of Nigerian women are light skinned. And when you think about it, there is a hierarchy of beauty according to complexion, the lighter you are, the better.
Culturally, I felt it's there. Colourism wasn't a topic that was talked about a lot in Nigeria. You can look a dark skinned person and say "blackie". It was derogatory, it was offensive. There was nothing to define what that act was, but it was colourism"

OOh fine woman. God bless you
ReplyDeleteA light skinned person is termed "Oyinbo" and some people don't really appreciate their skin colour cos it's not light.
ReplyDeleteI think the cosmetic industry has partly contributed to this. A lot of organic creams and soaps aren't doing what they are ment to do originally.
True. May cosmetic companies have used it to their selfish advantage. If it's not 'caro white' many women may not buy.
DeleteThank you. Even in the Uk, you see our ladies tonning thier skin or bleaching it. I love my black beacuse it is beautiful
DeleteBlack is beautiful 😍
ReplyDeleteProudly one 🥳
But growing up, we called a dark skin person blackie & light skin oyibo...in our innocent minds, we didn't see it as anything 😊
ReplyDeleteI think she is a fine actress
ReplyDeleteHow did she arrive at 77% though? She's very beautiful and has a beautiful complexion.
