Pls one celebrity is not here o, Miss Anambra(Chindima Cucumber)

AreaFada2:


Dude not only our women now o.

Recently saw a 50 years plus man I have not seen for about 6 months.

Ol' boy. The man skin be like Alao Akala own o.

I remember he always "highlights" how dark somebody is. That's anybody even slightly darker than himself.

Even his wife that was already fair now looks like ripe banana.

Haba! At that age?

I was just ashamed for them.

I used to think 9ja being rated as world champion in bleaching was exaggerated. But from what I have seen in past few years, I think it's spot on.

Litmus:



You do realise that on some slavers record, many victims from what is now Nigeria were recorded as being fairer in complexion than victims taken from elsewhere on the African continent. When the breeding of slaves in America began to take on "aesthetic" values, those victims from eastern Nigeria were prized for their lighter skin coloring. The term Red IBO in Jamaica used for mixed raced people was derived from the incidence of fair complexioned Igbo people.

Nigeria is full of naturally light-skinned people, there are several in my family, some with grey and light blue eyes. It causes no end of grief being accused of bleaching. I wish people would know for sure before accusing people of bleaching. While there are debates to be had about the politics, fashion and health issues surrounding the Bleaching, Some people find it offensive and harassing when accused falsely.

AreaFada2:


I am not Igbo. but half of my grandad/grandma's kids were very light-skinned. One even in her 90s still looked very light-skinned. And she was not even the fairest. One was so fair with slim figure & height and full long hair that people easily mistook her for oyinbo. Were she alive, she'd be well over 100 now.

But what what do you say of darkie people that suddenly turned oyinbo with black knuckles and all?
