So yesterday or so, Wendy Idowu, younger sister to Tokunbo 'Tboss' Idowu in a report revealed reasons why Nigerians hate her sister. Her reasons are just lame that I got pissed reading it!
First of all, she said we Nigerians hate her sister because she's Fair and has different hair texture unlike the rest of we black strong haired Nigerians! Now this is where she started lying...Nigerians I know do not hate people especially Ladies who are Fair and have extra features of a different or better hair texture! Nope, we don't hate them nor segregate them, rather we flock around them and wish to be identified with them , because they are the next thing to White People, whom we admire! That was why back then in Nollywood,when there were few Fair ladies in the industry, Lilian Bach and later on Monalisa Chinda were the hot cakes...so why on earth are we going to hate yo sis cos she's FAIR! ?? This beats my imagination.
Her full story below;
"Growing up we faced a lot of challenges but the major challenge we faced was "Acceptance". Having a different skin color and hair texture made us stand out and we never felt like we truly belonged. Apart from a few good friends we never belonged to any cliques or groups like other people.
Growing up in Nigeria people saw us as white and we never really blended in, so we were relieved to travel to Romania for our university education, just to get there and be called blacks. In Romania we got to find out the true definition of racism.
Some Nigerians might not flow with you cos you don't have same skin color as them but they won't resort to violence but in Romania a "few people" could be real extremists. So once again acceptance was a problem cos people look at your skin color and think of you differently.
For TBoss all that has come to an end now, after 11 weeks in the #bigbrothernaija2017 house people have actually begun to see TBoss as a real human, with real feelings and emotions, she gets happy, sad, angry, depressed, heartbroken and excited like every other human being, she plays, she eats, she drinks, she sleeps and has aspirations and goals like everyone else and for the first time the world has accepted her and stood by her side and fought for her. For this we can never stop saying thank you!!!"
Who says anything is wrong with it??
