Cool weather, those of them in hot climates don't look fresh. Filters and Photoshop effect too. How can people who eat chemicals 247 look fresh? They have short life span like agric fowl.

The beautiful environment: the way streets are constructed, houses, trees, roads, and glowing lights. Those things would add to the picture effect.

I give up on Nairaland, too many illiterates here. I can't stay in an environment where fools, tribal bigots, and perpetrators are inhibited because I don't want to be like or sound like them.

Abroad doesn’t automatically make someone fresh, freshness comes from good habits, skincare, and health, not just location.

chairman location matters ooo .
Can you compare Niger and Russia?

Most parts of Nigerian cities are horribly disjointed and unplanned. So many roads are untarred. Mud everywhere when rain falls. What I like about Nigeria is innovation is just taking root in the place. There are lots of untapped opportunities in Nigeria. You won't have much competition even if people steal your ideas. They won't know how to make the most of the ideas they steal from you.

So enviroment dey affect skin color?? i no understand

Yes. The level of melanin in your skin can fluctuate depending on the amount of direct sunshine (uvrays) you experience. It’s your body’s defense mechanism. If you’re extremely dark skin the color change might not be noticeable but if you’re somewhere between brown and light skin, it can be very noticeable.

Camera filters.

I thought the same about my friend who relocated to the UK two years ago when she kept posting dapper and overtly edited pictures of herself until she visited Nigeria sometime in November last year. Upon seeing her, I just knew there and then that, the more you look, the less you see.

She was the one who was even all over me and being complimentary about the texture of my skin and complexion. You can be here in Nigeria and be very fresh. Just less/no harsh rays exposure (particularly from 11pm-4pm), avoid the heat and humidity with all your might and stay hydrated inclusive of minimal and safe skincare and you will be good.

It is not about your location or where you stay, although it contributes to an extent, especially for those whose business kept them out in the sun.

Re: Why Does Abroad Make people Look Fresh? by Gerrard59(m): 8:14pm On Apr 08, 2025

People say it's the weather/sun yet folks in Barbados, Bahamas and Bermuda look much refined than our people. Singaporean Chinese have a much finer face than Mainland Chinese. The major reasons are wealth accumulation, long time prosperity, developed infrastructure etc.

For one, the way we perform activities in Nigeria tend to be crude and painstaking.

The difference is in the weather, Africa is very hot, especially sub Sahara Africa, the UV ray affects the skin,you kwn what that does to the skin.

Singapore and Bahamas are equally hot. But they have much refined faces.

Food that will make you bigger is cheap abroad, the winter weather also makes your skin fresh, plus the environment is well planned with trees, sun light and architecture well planned. Vs a place like lagos where everything is jaga jaga .

Which food that will make you bigger is abroad and not in Nigeria?

Oh you dont know, let me brake it down. The vast majority of Nigerians never owned a smart phone then or have broadband. Also in 2007 we were less thana Hundred members then and there was respect. Also more than 70 Percent then lived abroad. So your shyt little Mind think everyone is like them lot from your small well organized Camp who have no ambition of ever leaving the hunting they are restricted to.

Wherever there are people, there are problems. Only a child thinks otherwise.

Taxes, especially property taxes after you've "bought" your home.

Work place matters that turn into legal issues.

Domestic issues that become legal issues.

Racial/gender judicial bias is very common in the western legal system. As are crooked and incompetent lawyers.

Health issues, compounded by problems with health insurance provider or the competency and diligence of the healthcare provider. This is why so many people cheered when the health insurance executive in NYC was murdered.

Workplace stress which manifests itself as health issues. See above. There's a reason why most people in north America, Britain and Australia are overweight. Or why narcotics are so popular in those countries. Or why America is stuck in the midst of an opioid crisis.

Inflation.

Bad weather.

Crime.
