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"

DeleteOOh 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she meant 77% in what ever industry she is in.
DeletePeople just open mouth and vomit data they can't defend because it's cooked up in their heads to back up opinions that are formed on pained sentiments.
Oh, and before you stretch vlogged nostrils, I'm not fair either.
Fair-skinned individuals experience bullying, too. I recently spoke to someone who asked me to send baby pictures to verify my natural skin tone, implying that my fairness might be due to bleaching. It's clear that people with lighter skin face their own set of challenges, including being judged or ridiculed for their natural appearance. Everyone's experience is unique, and it's not accurate to assume that light-skinned people have an easier time. They face their own struggles, just like anyone else.
ReplyDeleteThank you nne
DeleteHaba!!
Abeg shift
ReplyDeleteFair people that were called ocha ka omaka nko

Colourism ko, racism ni
As if we don't have enough problems in this country you wan colourism to am
Shior
But they use to called light skin people oyibo na. When you're light skin, tall and spotless, and pretty, you're tag ogbanje or Mami wata. So it doesn't just happen to dark skin women.
