Strange, but Chelsea says, dark skinned actresses are more favoured in Nollywood in a way. The actress said her skin colour has worked against her several times with producers saying she is too ‘yellow’ and if some have to use her, the makeup artiste on set makes her look dark. Here’s what she said to Ademola Olonilua when asked if her complexion has ever worked against her.Yes. There have been some projects that I was supposed to be involved in but I was told that I am too light skinned for the part. I remember when Kunle Afolayan wanted to do the cast for Figurine, I asked him if I could come for auditions but he told me that I am too ‘yellow’. There are some characters you need to play but you have to be dark skinned. I have had cases where I have to play some certain character and the make-up artiste makes me look very dark. Sometimes my complexion does not always favour me but I will not change my skin hue for any reason.

Its true... I had gone for one audition once.. Did very well... But the producer said i'm fair.. And that the selected new actress i am to pair with is already yellow and they are sourcing for someone dark to compliment...

Other one was a movie to portray that black is beautiful... I did well.. But i am fair... So i was cancelled it out...

P. S... I am not fair self.. Just a little fair skinned.. Yet i got cut out.. Not to talk of her that is yellow... Wo!! Shit happens.

THE ISSUE OF COLOURISM IN NIGERIA

https://medium.com/@elizabethomosa5/the-issue-of-colourism-in-nigeria-df0d68ff78fe

In Nigeria, people are sometimes treated better just because of their skin color. Light skinned people or ‘fair people’ as we may call them are treated better than those with darker skin and have conditioned some of them to believe that they are indeed higher than others because of their skin color. They even get more opportunities just because they are ‘fair’.


Nigeria has the highest number of bleaching cream consumers in the world.

It also doesn't mean dark instantly translates as "good" because your personality is what determines your attitude and behaviour.
