HOW MANY DEGREES IS YOUR SUN?

You know the truth we don't tell ourselves in Africa? That our sun here tans our skin even as much as we already have melanin popping.

I love the sun...when I'm Lagos though, there's a good feel to it. But I don't live the whole year in Lagos, at least not for the last three years.

So, have you heard of Ago-Iwoye or been there? A small town after Ijebu Ode in Ogun State? More importantly, on this discussion, have you ever been to the Permanent Site of the University situated in the town?

OK, I'll explain something.

I'm a sweet dark skinned guy and I love it(*pictures loading*). But do you know what it feels like to live in a place where you're black already but now the sun is spiked up to make you 'baked' as if to say, “what is already dead may never die”. And just so you'd see more clearly, it's like sprinkling alligator pepper to already spicy stew.

Recently, on my friend's whatsapp status, I saw screengrabs of a book authored by someone who finished from this school we are talking about around 2005. Even in the person's chronicling of serious events during his stay in the school, he couldn't but just talk about P.S(Permanent Site) sun. It's not a fable. And do you know the funny/annoying fact? It's that nobody warns or mentions anything about the sun to prospective students, so every new student discovers this hot but hushed phenomenon by themselves, and voila, it's being talked about on campus so much, as if everyone else was talking about it before you discovered it yourself. How cruel can one be? I'll be walking in the school premises and my skin will ALMOST begin melting(exaggerated just a bit).

And don't even talk about exfoliation. I know how to do it. And who doesn't in Africa by the way? It just doesn't work in this specific clime, P.S.

Please who knows any organic bleaching formula for a friend?
