Nollywood actress, Linda Osifo, has disclosed that she considered bleaching her skin while in Canada because of racial slurs.
She disclosed this in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Chude, the host asked: “You talked about wanting to bleach your skin because when you grow up people would call me a monkey. Did this literally happen?”
Osifo replied: “Yeah. It happens absolutely. And it happens from your shade too, you know. So, that’s why it’s even more of a weird thing.
“I always feel that those who get bullied, don’t get bullied by outsiders. It’s from within. Because if somebody else says it, you may not care but if somebody who is around you, who you are always kinda seeing every other day says it, it hurts more.”
She further clarified that relocating to Nigeria made her proud of who she is.
“This was when I was a teenager in Canada. The positive aspect of moving back to Nigeria, was seeing more of individuals who look just like me.”
