In Nigeria, taking a picture with a white man is a level of success even among the upper class, I'm not hunderstanding!
Back in school you will see guys, more of guys scrambling for a shade of human, slightly lighter than the really fair African.
They want to move with them, roll with them, smoke weed, do drugs maybe and be tagged the cool dude before they really fee cool.
Then they realise that there are actually some cool Naija babes and just augment the feeling with the Naija babes also who smokes and does drugs.
Mind you, the coolness isn't about the drugs, it's about the white lady who knowingly knows that she has given the guy props.
Even the struggling guys in Naija, once they land obodo oyinbo, the next person they look for is an oyinbo to sleep with, they end up getting the sloppy ones anyway, while the uni guys have the fresh ones, or so I think.
That moment, they splash their oyinbo friend pictures on social media, feeling on top of the world as that is a huge step of achievement.
Even the older generation does this.
You see them splashing teeth all over internet for meeting 'white people'.
I'm not racist, I'm not saying do not be friends with other races, all I'm saying is free yourselves from slavery and inferiority complex.
You don't have to have an oyinbo friend before your self esteem is complete..
I like them, they are good and nice people, but they usually get the idea of a black person's friendship most of the time.
