by Peninah Njoki Entertainment
Nollywood Star John Akofor known to many as Mr Ibu has advised women to love and accept themselves just the way they are and avoid skin bleaching.
According to the Nairobian, Mr Ibu is quoted as saying
"When you bleach yourself you look like roasted plantains. Leave your colour the way it is, the way God gave it to you. Do not blame GOD."
Mr Ibu is in Kenya for a peace concert to be held on July 7 at Uhuru Gardens and at Coast Car Park in Mombasa on July 8. Word also has it that he will be in Kenya for a little longer to shoot a movie.
His advice could be considered timely seeing as Kenyan rapper Khaligraph Jones removed his tint, while socialite Vera Sidika is said to have gone to great lengths to lighten herself, and join team light skin.
