In a recent interview with Arise TV, Carolyna said, “As a mixed-race living in Nigeria, who was brought up by her grandmom, I faced a lot of racism. The colour of my skin and the texture of my hair was a big problem for me. I was bullied all throughhh primary school to secondary school. So I had to learn how to defend myself.
“I also suffered racism at my workplace. I’m such a scholar. I have an MBA and MSA in international law. I have a lot of professional certificates from Lagos Business School from Unilag. I have a lots of certificates. I actually have a Doctorate degree as well. So when you speak and you’re a beautiful mixed-race woman, you tend to get bashed. In this society, I went through that. I also faced the stigmatisation of being a divorcee. I have built a thick skin for myself.”
Totally believe her, black people are as racist as they come, yet they accuse white people of being worse..same difference!
ReplyDeleteYou know you’re a liar!
DeleteI cant speak forblack people, but you see this Nigeria, we love anything light skinned. This is why till tomorrow bleaching creme, relaxer and wigs to look as light skinned or as mixed race as possible will ALWAYS sell.
DeleteE come be say she be mixed race.
Naija favours anything mixed race, Asian or white over black skinned. Whether Business, Government Deals, Real Estate, Pageants, Politics sef, Show business, Modelling, you name it. I see Chinese lady working as airhostess i Airpeace, with her chinese accent (meaning, many of us no go understand her announcements) but she got the job over others.
Caro, Caro this particular victim story no follow, unless you are referring to the white side of your heritage sha. Many of them, her white side, can be funny about certain differences like, the hair texture difference, but thats mostly Ignorance than chronic racism.
Becuz you were a dullard in white skin, our school guys no send you that time.
ReplyDeleteAll your numerous certificates na online.
European American University gave you honorary doctorate because your ex husby reduced price of house when they bought.
Caro no know book ooo

That's the best advice you will ever give to yourself dear, just build that thick skin in all you do and be a strong woman you are always.
ReplyDeleteSeems you are beauty with brain, Weldon girlie 😘🥰
I don't believe this story.
ReplyDeleteWe had and indian and Chinese during my childhood days when majority of people were not exposed, everybody wanted to identify with these girls by force. These girls never walked alone. You would definitely see people following them around. People did a lot of eye service inorder for them to be identified by these girls . I would sit in my sit admiring these girls hair and wishing that mine was like theirs...
Please, if you tell me that this happened in this present generation I would believe you but not in the 90's.
I don't believe your story as well. Looks made up.
DeleteShe was full of herself on top of empty brain. We dealt with her.
DeleteI don’t believe her either. Nigeria is the last place a white skinned person will face racism or bully. We that love white people more than ourselves. Caro and lies are like 5&6.

You did not talk about the advantage.you enjoyed oyibo privilege.i grew up with mixed race half siblings and they were always favoured above me
ReplyDeleteThis her narrative must be peculiar to her. I remembered growing up amongst them. It was all lovely. And they are also given preferences. 🙄🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteIn Nigeria we may hate ourselves, but we always love oyinbo or anything foreign. Her story is a big fat lie.
ReplyDeleteDis girl go sabi lie
ReplyDeleteLies
ReplyDeleteI doubt this her story. During her younger days, even up till now Fair and beautiful people are given undue advantage over others e com be oyibo like her.
ReplyDeleteGirl please!!! Just please!!!
ReplyDeleteShe should have said stigmatization not racism. She may have been stigmatized growing up with her grandmother because in the South South and South East, having a mixed raced child as single woman was perceived as being wayward and frowned upon. Women didn’t really proudly date oyibo men back then.
ReplyDeleteRacism? I think she meant colorism. She is Black, after all and unless the biased behavior came from non-Black folks in Nigeria, then I don't think it can be labeled "racism"
