  41. What does Dancia do for a living? can someone please remind me????? I need to know its very important.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I will say it over and over again lupita grew balls because of attention she is getting,I love Kenyans but since Obama became president now lupita the ugly tinz think they have arrived,I am not a Dencia supporter but I will tell you one thing she thought she was going to bring Dencia down but brought her up.I have bought whitenicious to clear my chicken pox marks and it has worked magic and wonders,I bought the large one and it can't even last me a month so how is that a bleaching cream?the dencia herself said it is for dark all this wahala na wa.Lupita take your ugly black self and exit stage left even if we contribute and buy you all whitenicious you will not be yellow paw paw and you will still be ugly abeg go to the village and eat some pounded yam that your 12 years of slave cheat you are showing up and down is bony and terrible.You are not inscribing anyone and hollywood will not give you anything but house girl in movies.Them no use omotola or Genny because they do not look like 12years old slave.shut up I bet her mouth smells.Linda this your obsession with dencia and lupita don do abeg leave us alone we haff hear and seen and we haff tired on behalf of all LIB

  52. Lupita! I love dis lady so much. Shez a great inspiration 2 me.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Them omotola,genev etc should learn from her that being a world class actress is not abt coming out of a bentley nd geting into a local fright private jet and that anyone can act that.they should fix up.not just abt being a local champion in their community..u see things like genev just bought a channel bag is that news things that can be done by anyone.I forget they in d mix of the poor where 3 meals aday is luxury...linda if u like post my comment,linda how is ur sister u likes post my sister just bought gucci bag..poverty is not good..I thank God for the up bringing my parents gave me.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I still feel she would hve told her story or read d letter wthout mention dencia's name. lets face it. its RUDE.
    nice speech anywaz would hve been done beter wthout making any enemy out of it.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Lets face facts here, all dis celeb preach against bleaching cream yet they make life difficult for young black girls.....how can som1 who preach against bleaching cream wil end up picking only fair ladies in a talent hunt.... U wil get info for ushering jobs but they will end up selecting fair ladies... Those young girls who wil start frm notin to somtin needs encouragement.... U cant frustrate som1 bc of her colour and end up preaching to her black is beauty, how is she suppose to believe wen notin works 4 her bc of d black colour...

  67. Beautiful and inspiring speech. Hope her message resonates: Colorism in Africa is harmful. It fueled Lupita's self hate. All of Africa's children-dark, brown, caramel, light-are beautiful. Love them all.

    ReplyDelete
  79. OMG!!! thats all Lupita said about dencia's whitenicious cream that she went HAM on her?? This is what separates winners from losers while Dencia is busy tweeting like crazy to get attention Lupita was busy collecting her awards. Bleaching is a matter of choice and Lupita's speech was only convincing black girls that they are beautiful. It does not in anyway throw shade on the product. she did not list any complications or convince people not to buy the product so please Dencia go get your life and stop filling up Linda Ikeji's page.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Pls keep it up Lupita. Let the haters say whatever they like. It's time for women to love their colour irrespective of the shade. Don't feel insecure in your own skin. Black is indeed beautiful. Any real man will love you irrespective of your skin flaws. God didn't make a mistake when he created you.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Ladies hope u heard Lupita? ( u can't eat ur beauty) meaning don't rely on ur beauty to sustain u its not consumable. Bcuz u think ur beautiful and well figured u go into prostitution aka runs when u can use that same beauty to acquire success with dignity. Learn from the ugliest black woman on earth, yet she's the talk of the year even lindodo can't do without her matter. #gbam

  82. Hmm. Very true. Love your self no matter how you look.

  83. Abeg u people that have pimples and yama yama dark spots and scars don't buy whitenicious ooo. I take God beg una bcos black is indeed beautiful even black spots r very beautiful. Loll, Nigerians be deceiving themselves. Going behind LIB to buy whitenicious. God is watching u in 3D. If una no dey get toasters b4 bcos say una wor wor u better find solution to ur skin. No be say make una dey talk black is beautiful. Be truthful to urselves. Now lupita has given all those wor wor babes mouth to talk. If we check am well na them full here dey talk say lupita is beautiful, black is beautiful. And to the naija boys on this blog, una go still go back go dey toast fine fresh light skinned girls and come back to LIB insulting denica. Remember 90 percent of naija babes tone. Na normal thing, even Linda is a shade lighter. And take note beyonce and Rihana toned, 3 shades lighter sef. Why not crusify them. Abeg make una no toast any light skinned girl again ooo. Bcos most of them toned.
    Be REAL

  103. @anon 11.45am Whilst I acknowledge your "stupidity issues" that allows you to swallow every story that get's thrown at you without logical questioning; please do not expect that everyone else should be like you.
    Lupita has achieved a great feat, the entire world (plus me) is proud of her!
    That does not mean that I should not question the integrity of a story. The cream costs btw $50 and $150 for a small quantity that might not last for more than a few days, how many "little girls" can afford that?

  109. If ur skin is very important to u. And u don't want blemishes, my dear u'll afford it. Abeg make we hear word. People spend far more than that on other things. Speak ur mind nigerians, fake ass people. And Pls don't go nd start asking dencia how u'll get her products if u r insulting her on this blog. If I buy whitenicious e no concern anybody. My skin is very important to me nd I hate seeing blemishes on it. If u can't afford her product why beef her. Pray to God to give u money to buy it. Even Indians, Asians, whites, black Americans tone. So why una come dey mention dencia. Toning is normal if u r using any product for pimples or dark spots. I used to have pimples nd dark spots not only on my face but all over my body. It's hereditary in my family. It was really bad. But I found something really good that has been helping me nd I am lighter than I used to be. And my body is as clear as that of a new born baby. Will even like to try whitenicious too. If u like crusify me it's non of my business. IDK.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Lupita's opinion is lupita's opinion, dencia's opinion is dencia's opinion. Whatever she said, she understands more than anyone can/will. So the fact that she read and u choose to either understand or misunderstand her, it's ur choice. She has spoken! Black is beautiful but does it mean that fair gurls ain't black too? (not the bleached ones oo). Proud of ma skin colour. #teamNoteam

  111. words of wisdom indeed. God bless her

    ReplyDelete
  112. @Anonymous 1:31 PM. Akanimo is right. It is heart-rend-ing(heartrending), meaning: causing anguish or deep distress; arousing deep sympathy. Not appropriate in this context

    I guess Bonario should have used 'thought-provoking'-meaning-stimulating interest or thought. 'A thought-provoking speech'.

    I hope I wont be branded as 'over-sabi'. Lol. Just my thought. We learn everyday. If I make mistake, make una correct me oh :-)

    ReplyDelete
  113. How will Dencia get customers if Lupita's message sinks in?

    ReplyDelete
  114. All this noise about black beauty wouldn't stop people from bleaching oooooo

    ReplyDelete
  115. So she does not even know who Denica is!!! She wasn't even coming for her - Denica don't feel uped!!! She called her Dencia - she thought it was a product!!
    Well Denica you got your publicity! Congrats Lupita, It's your time and God has blessed you x

    ReplyDelete
  116. Such an inspiring speech! Full of positivity! Thank you for this Lupita! God bless you more! So proud of you!
