Ucheosefoh:I'm not making reference to people who love light-skinned folks. I was just concerned that skin tone is an issue to hyperventilate about, whether light-skinned or dark-skinned. |

Mrkuvuki: holatin: coolzeal:You like them dark....you like them chocolate, some like them yellow.....blah blah blah. Question is, is it that important whether someone is dark or light? |

Even a light skinned apes are super pretty to most Nigerians. Infact take the same pictures, paint one peach and the other espresso, and see which one is "beautiful" and the one they call "ugly". Even today I stumbled on a post where someone was called "ugly black shytte" and I've come across " dark skinned biatchh". The people who say these things are known to suffer from inferiority complex and I agree, cos there is no family in nigeria without dark skinned people. 1 Like 1 Share |

Oildichotomy: skin colour ia just a protective mechanism against sum races...the closer to equator the darker your skin tonnes. European standard of beauty has really change everything for our female. They intentionally remove melanin to look light in other to feel cool why killing themselves gradually They attached all kind of disgusting foreign hair to look European They were all those terrible make up to look cool. the funniest part is they spend more money on all these products than education and health. |

abdulwastecx:Chocolate is just a different terminology used to describe dark or brown. I think you already know that. |

whitecat2: when I look at a sub Saharan. .. all I see is dark and brown. Black is a social construct just like how white is a construct. I haven't seen a black person before, despite been a dark skin man |

everyone has different taste. my zodiac sign is Scorpio . ever since i was a kid ,I've always been especially fascinated and attracted to very dark skin people . i like dark skin like the photo below not even brown skin. I like girls with short hairstyle . I am turned on by a dark skin girl . I think a light or pale skin is soft and ugly. 1 Share

GoodGirl2:I don't have a favorable view on skin color rather I take pride in my own appearance. However, some black people have deep rooted phycological issues, it's just one big mess that I can't be bothered to go into details right now. The media is one powerful force and our artist are not helpful either. |

Anyone can do whatever they want with their skin, I don't care. I don't care about your skintone. But when it's a public figure or celeb who puts herself out there and is constantly in my face, I will talk about the variations in her skin tone. |

Krystalxxx:Troof! You deserve a medal,nigerians love pretending alot,is all about fair chicks to them. everything you said is true,majority of them love their girls fair. imagine a country with a million fine girls and still we end up having blondes and brunettes in a video that is made for a black nation,if truely we don't worship a fair skin these videos would not be hyped the way they are being hyped. I'm a black adonis tho and ma girl is fair and she is crazy about dark guys but we all know our boys can't help falling in love with fair ladies. 2 Likes |
