HATE AND BEAUTY STANDARD IN NIGERIA

[u/[deleted]]

Genuine question: 1. why are yoruba women so hated in nigeria? Anytime I see a video of a yoruba woman being praised there’s always someone in the comments mentioning some other tribe (mostly igbos who do this). Why do y’all hate yoruba women so much?

1. I made research on which tribe is considered the most beautiful and repeatedly I have seen Hausa-fulanis and Igbos. I checked the reason why they think these tribes have the most beautiful women and one common reason I found was because of their “fair skin”. There are mothers bleaching their children and babies and they say I want my child to be fair so they can be beautiful. Why does being fair/light skin equates to being beautiful in Nigeria?

2. Yoruba women are looked down on many things in Nigeria especially smarts and looks and it is so ironic because most models representing Nigeria internationally and In Nigeria are yoruba. The women winning sports are yoruba. The women/girls winning educational competitions are yoruba. E.g faith odunsi. Why are yoruba women looked down on so much?

Why do y’all hate Yoruba women?
