On a lighter tone

There is a male Nigeria celebrity that goes by the name Bobrisky. Born Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju in 1992, he paints a controversial figure, with his active social media persona which underwent a sudden metamorphosis and changed to a lighter version of his former self. Although there are some issues as regards his sexuality but that not what I am concentrating on now. Unlike the Western world, homosexuality is still consider a criminal offense in Nigeria. Although a lot of Ni gerians are incredulous about sexuality in Nigeria, willing to believe that homosexuality is imported from the West. Also there are some religious undertones to what is seen as being unacceptable behavior in most developing conservative countries. It is thought that by some that Bobrisky and his kind are polluting the youth. This is a social problem and one can assume those who bleach their skin do not feel "comfortable in their own skins". This might be due to the loss of confidence in themselves...
