Being a light skinned Ghanaian is not that easy because people automatically assume you bleached.
Here are some struggles of light skinned Ghanaians.

2. Earning the nickname, “Ofiri Jato”.
You earn the nickname “ofiri Jato” which is a name given to albinos in the country.
3. Ladies always asking you the cream you use.
Every lady you meet will like to know the pomade or lotion you use to give you that fair complexion. Surprisingly, if you tell them it’s your natural color, they don’t believe.
4. Everyone seeks for cosmetic advice from you.
You end up becoming a cosmetic expert because all the ladies want your advice on creams that will make them lighter.
5. Pimples are your number enemies.
Dark skin girls can have all the pimples and no one will notice but with you, even just one pimple on your forehead and you’re doomed.
