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.
Very fake woman with her fake accents. Today ba American, tomorrow na British. Was she not the one nacking that Tagbo guy wey die after drinking OBO tequila? 🤔
DeleteBecuz 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
Cotonou doctorate degree

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.
DeleteFan Emmanuel
I don't belive it too, most Nigerians admire mixed race people. They get soft landing. She should use her @ button to call out her bullies
DeleteYou 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
ReplyDeleteThey never talk about the privilege. Even the marriage she secured in that lauded family was because of her phenotype and if not him, she still would have bagged a union that put her on a throne.
DeleteI will never call her a liar and say she was not bullied. But for all those who bullied her, there were twice as many fawning over and her and giving her access to things nobody else could get.
This 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
ReplyDeleteNo mind her, she dey form intelligent and dey form victim untop. I grew up with them and they always got the best privileges so we tried to be close to them to be even considered. As we dark skinned kuku hate ourselves.
DeleteShe faced racism but she bagged a Danjuma all because she is mixed race.
Even the mixed race people in Nigeria go shock at this her bold faced lie, hian the attempt at victimhood fell flat.. racism ke???
See ehn Venita get wahala, but still be the most intellectual amongst the many mixed race individuals in reality shows.
Venita is intelligent,
I feel she is bankable. ypu can give her any position and and go deliver (maybe even better than Bianca ojk, wey na so so pageantry full her cv, nothing cerebral like that...sef) And I no be venita fan!!!!
Cmon tell me that BAT go give Venita position and you believe, she no go deliver with her brains not just p#ssy &pretty priviledges o. Don't get me wrong, beauty privileges
deyz but she is incredibly intelligent.
VENITA IS still the best, followed by maybe Nengi
Lies
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.
ReplyDelete* mixed race…
DeleteFor Ghana her ae call.mixed race -. Ashawo pikin. Nobody dey send dem at all
DeleteRacism? 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"
ReplyDeleteMadam caro, yimu, yimu to you. Nigerians hold bi racial in high esteem because we more or less see them as white 😏🫤
ReplyDeleteAbeg which Area she grow ooo
ReplyDeleteHaba nahhh Caro Caro who no like Oyibo for Naija...
Hello iya Boys
Na for wooden shack ontop water she grow. All ds forming. Carol na mgbeke
DeleteIn this Nigeria that mixed -race people are carried like eggs. You are not being truthful you are only seeking attention.
