Our Society Is In Need Of Change Agents!!! by dewaskillz: 7:42pm On Feb 22, 2022
I remember back then in secondary school, we had this perception about very light-skinned ladies to be “Mami water” or possessed with some kinda evil spirit. The entertainment or at large the creative industry has an imperceptible influence in moulding our belief and perception. When Psquare goes to do the first aesthetic music video ever in Nigeria in South Africa with beautiful fair ladies....it receives a lot of positive review -below it, is also an undertone that fair ladies are more attractive and from there it kept creeping into the society until it became a norm. Now we have half-cast and Snow White soaps and cream. And you want to blame these ladies for agreeing with the society? That’s what normal people do, agree with the society. If we want to paint another perception, it shouldn’t be by condemning and just word. It is time we also use such medium to create such perception. We have to start seeing more dark skinned ladies in music videos as lead actors. See them in movies and not fair skinned ladies who ain’t even talented as much as their dark skinned colleagues. Same thing goes with girls with big ass. We see skits adoring them and worshipping them just because of nyash and then those without nyash are humiliated, then when they go and do surgery on their bumbum, we also blame them. This point cuts across the social vices in our country. When yahoo yahoo started we made case for them- they were stealing back the money White people stole from us now it has escalated to ritualism we are crying out loud. Sex tape is released, we find a way to justify it and then in a space of how many months how many nude pictures have we seen?To better our society we need to stand together against things that threaten our good social fabric. What can we do? Don’t support things that are not morally right!!!it doesn’t matter if you do that. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite, rather it shows you have that sense of rationale that differentiates you from an animal. For Example, that you have participated in a sex tape doesn’t mean you should justify sex tape. I don’t see ladies who used to be prostitutes and later become mothers train their children to become prostitutes. In fact, most of them are so strict with their daughters, exhibiting high sense of insecurity. Let’s all be good social agent of change.
