Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that in another Twitter post on Tuesday, March 2, one of two friends with the handle @No4troublemaker shared a throwback photo of when they were students at the University of Benin.
The second snap showed them in Munich, Germany several years later. What was obvious in both photographs was how their skins went from being dark to fair. The change in weather probably had a lot to do with their new pigmentation.
