"I’m uncomfortable in my own skin because of how society makes me feel about it" - Nigerian lady opens up about facing rejections, insults due to her dark skin
Mariam Besty Sule spoke about the rejection and mockery she has been facing due to her dark skin.
According to Mariam, the society has made her so uncomfortable in her skin that she resorted to editing her photos before posting them on social media platforms.
Mariam also stated that she lost job opportunities due to her complexion and some people jokingly call her names like "black board"
"I’m very uncomfortable in my own skin, I edit my pictures lighter than my skin color because of how the society makes me feel about it," she wrote on Thursday, February 18.
"A lot of time I was called different names as joke, but I noticed I was actually affected by it.. the ridiculous jokes of “black board or color of their black shirt” or you’re too black, I can’t give birth to a black child.
"I’ve gotten rejected for jobs because of my skin color and got insulted jokingly.
"Stop saying hurtful things to black women under the disguise of joke because they are colorist statements and you are a colorist,"
"Black is beautiful and I’ve learnt to love it and you will respect it. Black is beautiful and deserves to be in all shows!
IWillRiseAgain: So I just found this young bird by the corner of my house. Obviously, it fell from a nest very high on a tree beside my house.
The mother has been flying around the place but it doesn't look like there's much she can do for the little bird.
Is there anything I can do to help it too apart from climbing up to the nest to put it back there. That's not even an option because the tree is too tall.
Anybody know anything else I can do?
It looks so innocent and has been sleeping all through.
Hope say nobi village people come so?
Nice of you trying to care for a helpless creature very rear to find people doing that in this part of the world...��

peacekante: A woman stunned her husband in front of a human rights mediator when she insisted that her husband is the father of her son but vows never to go for DNA.
Her husband had dragged her to a human rights claiming that he wants to know if he is truly the father of the now 7-year-old boy.
But despite insisting that the man is the father of the child, she told the human right mediator and the husband that she is not going for DNA test.
Watch the video.
Could she be telling the truth or she has something she is hiding.
She's not telling the truth ....a man can not wake in the morning and says he wants to do DNA of the child after 7 years ...Somey must have promted this action..

A family can change lives so as a Brother, sister or a friend or who your not expecting ..these always a door keep on knocking!!! If doesn't open burst the door..God gave us keys a bunch of 'em we don't know the Right one... A brother can kill his own for no reason....People hate so much ..when you die your gonna wake up like you never existed before
It is dangerous fighting anyone...what if your wife is fighting you? Anybody can be at war the highest thing a woman or wife can do is to take another dick behind your back ...misbehave, you get sick without knowing whats going through on then die for no reason.
Women are wired so differently it takes the grace of God to know what's up! Everything is wisdom..We prey on ourselves even when we think is love...always watching our backs ...
Tyewolove: Yeah!!! it's the same,you can get bread crumbs from the supermarket such as shoprite,old English and hubmart or you use the crumbs from bread.
