Colourism is a big issue in Africa (and skin bleaching) but most videos I come across aren't really like that. Or maybe I have a small sampling size

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
That wizkid track is tough.
These artists (rather their team) are marketing to a globaal audience for mainstream dollars, like everyone else, and White and lightskin ethnics are beautiful and the preferred choice women, especially amongst people who have money to spend (instead bootlegging torrents). Even the first lady of Cameroon is half French. Maybe in 50-100 years if non-Whites become a dominant force in economics (which I doubt) but for now it is what it is.
If the video vixens were dark, wide featured and had dull tightly curled hair, they would no exposure outside of their country. No Euro DJ is going to play that shyt in the clubs. Some Morrocan owned shisha/hookah lounge will not display the videos heavily unless the song is fire. They are marketing for heavy rotation can't hate on them.
Can tell the difference from Cash Money video vixens during the Hot Boys days vs. the millennial version when Wayne became a commercial rapper when Baby
switched up his business model (including signing Paris Hilton). There isn't anything on planet Earth blacker than the Third Ward but Cash Money video vixens after 2001 don't reflect this.

Listen to your own advice and relax...
...Because if it came time to start comparing black women to white and Asian women then shyt would start looking REAL funny...

chill out you black white supremacist
i wish people would stop using nigeria as a representation for the entire west africa
edit: now that i think about it the VAST majority of Nigerian and west african videos dont really even have light brite or white women. Most i see have dark skinned/brown skinned women
this is a non story

Diamond Platnumz riding bytch on de horse. Hold this L Nigeria fukk boys. 
Nollywood whom imitates Hollywood and it's white supremacy, no wonder their are import restrictions from such places like Rwanda, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, can't have them infecting the whole continent as a middle man for that garbage. Their are some places now that bleaching is deemed illegal but in Nigeria it's a billion dollar industry.
