Let me give you an example...people who live in Calfornia, Arizona in the US are "darker " than British. This is a result of weather conditions as the Britons sees lesser sun compared to Americans in those States. They've become tanned overtime because they ate exposed to much sunlight.

Yes, brother I love your command of science. Is it also true that the football players from Nigeria, along with their fans are mostly dark skinned because they train in the scorching sun?

mtis:

So Nowenuse what are this...

More of Light Nigerians

unanijazzz msee

TayserMahiri:


Wow, snda must have been a nice person.

Yes

mtis:

we agree she is dark..she is a nilote if ya want to know but pretending like average naija is light is a lie

Seriously, the kind of stupidity i see emanating from kenyans here beats my imagination.
Don't you know that when a random camera takes pictures from a farther distance, differences in skin tones between people of the same race becomes highly blurred?

If i take a distance photo of Italians and Norwegians, you will not be able to tell the difference! But when you meet them closely and look at them very well, the difference becomes clearer enough

Nowenuse:


You are just ignorant then.

Do you think Southern Europeans and Northern/Westeen Europeans are of the same skin tone? Hell no they are not.
The southern Europeans are mostly of Olive white skin tone while the northern & western Europeans are of pale white and ghostly pale white skin tones.

Back then during colonial America, Southern European immigrants in America were not classified as whites at first, cos they were not white enough according to the standards of western & northern Europeans. It was many years/decades later they finally got classified as whites.

Whites also differentiate themselves heavily by being blonde, brunette & raid-haired. Or better still by being blue-eyed, green-eyed or brown/black eyed.
You are not from a white community, so you may not know this. I have followed white debates and interractions on skin tones a lot.

Next time you see them engaging in such debates, remind them they're simply Homo sapiens sapiens.

Let me be in your shoes! What is in skin tone??

Holly Nigerians are not obsessed with light skin, that's absurd. If we were, dark skinned women n men would not have been winning beauty pageants.

***Meet the current MBGN (most beautiful girl in Nigeria), she is dark skinned n she is going to represent Nigeria in the Miss world contest. So pls, you guys should put an end to this issue of Nigerians being obsessed with light skin.
TayserMahiri mtis muafrika2 et al

she looks like agbani darego

Hati13:

Yes

Now I wanna marry a direct descendant of snda

More naija peeps ..

TayserMahiri:


These ones are chocolate to me genie

No, they are not to us. They are dark skinned to us.
Here's what we classify more or less as chocolate or caramel skin.

Jay254:

Now I get the difference, but non feels superior to the other like how some lightskined ppl here feel.

Forget about superior now, what genie is saying is that what you guys misunderstood to be light skin(even Hati had that misunderstanding) are people we see as dark or chocolate not light skinned, l'm surprised you guys don't know the difference. The average Nigerian is not as dark as the other west africans for that matter especially Senegalese and malians, but that doesn't make us superior to them, it's just the truth. To me it's not a crime to be dark or white, the skin colour arguement is no arguement, we just clearing misunderstanding.

Stop being very lousy, mischievious n sarcastic n act like a grown man.

Can I tell you I have met a good number of Nigerians and none of them look like what you are posting? Actually the ones I met including a few who live close by are darker than the average Kenyan (bantu/cushite to be specific).

Lousy human, get some enlightenment!

When you take a better camera closer, this is what you find. Can you see these poor rural northern Nigerians? This is as dark as it gets!

Jay254:

In fact I just made a similar comment, the Nigerians I meet here must be from another Nigeria because they're darker than most Kenyans excluding Nilotes i.e

We also have South soudaness people who are extremely dark but that does not make Kenyan people light

Ethiopian movie on Dstv? What channel? Never come across em as much as am glued to the tv.

Yaaah, the country is a very beautiful one, i have been watching n downloading ethiopian musics throughout today, the country is very beautiful, believe me. I even think it is more beautiful than Kenya.

Come and visit. You will enjoy it and you also going to our economy.

Ethiopia has been awarded for 2017 as the most beautiful country in the world.

70% of Africa mountains are found in Ethiopia.

You have to pity the poor fellows. Its the first time I am realizing there are Africans that spend their days thinking about their skin tone. One would expect East Africans (kenyans in particular) to have that problem given the number of white and Indian people around but seems its just the opposite.

TayserMahiri:

And the two Sisters here wants us to call that Carmel Milk or what. I insist they need to come out of the village

Jay254:

Who said Nigerians are light? We only said Nigerians in general are not extremely dark, and this is simple to understand. Your problem is that you only think of light or extremely dark, you don't know what chocolate is. I am surprised.
