not all bleaching or toning are vivid...am a guy and I won't Lie I would prefer a light-skinned girl over a dark-skinned girl....
most guys we also prefer light skinned girls....
so let's stop criticizing them for tonning....
they are giving we(the guys) what we would prefer....
they are trying to sell(with all due respect)

banega: ah wonder oh,. •

Sweery you are obviously one of the sweet naturally fair girls.
Don't mind the haters abeg.
I dunno where they got the idea that every 'true'' African must be as black as charcoal.

77% Imagine, then they claim to the Giant of Africa when dark skinned girls have actually vanished into the bottles of Whitelicious!

As I have said before Giant of Africa is Ghana, original, rich un adulterated culture and proud. No the copy, copy mentality, that everything western is civilised and everything African is primitive.

Joavid:

They do it because that is what men are more attracted to. I mean in real life, not on paper.

I strongly disagree.

Maybe that's what you believe but I can authoritatively tell you that men are more attracted to women that are confident with their natural beauty; It shows you have a high self-esteem.

myspnigeria: Sad truth..... Blame it on westernization

No, blame it on mental slavery .

Sombody near me will soon collect better slap. Hw can dis girl be arguing with me with all the evidences I hve presented? I showed her a 1hr documentary on peru and brazil the streets, markets, schools and the many home fans in and outside the various stadiums during the 2014 world cup yet we cldnt find a single brazillian girl with a low cut. Which means the Hair Naija ladies use are from dead people. She is telling me the hair are from girls who are poor so they cut their hair and sell. U guys can imagine hw pissed I am rite nw. Show me brazillian and peruvian females with low cut she still hasn't o!

you can do the needful

chegx: .
is it?Nice article.

OkNice article.

NAIRALAND needs to come against spacebooking, it's akward.

Guykhena: *sighs*
African Girls would put on FAKE hair
African Girls would put on FAKE eyes
African Girls would put on FAKE assets
African Girls would put on FAKE skin(bleaching).

And yet they would be the one saying "I Want A REAL Man"? .

we will start wearing banana in our boxers

the 77percent is ABSOLUTELY ntrue. First, when was the cencus done? The number they put up there also includes people who go to the market and buy just anything they could rub on their body without knowing what it is.

Also, it that were true, how comes we have all the black people here. I know someone who bleeches when i see one. Many of the ladies i see here dont bleech.

It's logical for guys to find light skinned girls more attractive simple because they are "rare" i.e. the population of light skinned girls is much lower than dark skinned girls.

This is not a license for our girls to feel inferior and go ahead harming their skin in the name of attracting guys.

It's the same way Europeans are more attracted to blondes or brunettes but you don't hear of 70% of white women changing the color of their hair to attract more men.

Ladies be proud of the your natural look! project self-worth! say no to skin toning/bleaching/lightening.

Say nigerian women and not African women

I like beautiful people of all colors.
All colors are beautiful if natural.
Mercury and other chemicals obtained
Colors is a no, no, no for me.

Have exceptions for those with skin diseases.
Which exfoliation is side_effect of their medication .

Black women are now completely absorbed into the world of fakery.

They fake their hair, they fake their skin, they even fake their attitudes, the real black woman is now an endangered specie.

I met a girl few months ago, she was so pale, she could easily pass for a mixed breed or even a Caucasian, then I saw her brother one day, and he was dark as night. I instantly knew her paleness was down to a chemical process.

I must say there's increasing sophistication in the bleaching cream industry. some of these products transform girls so perfectly, you can never tell she was once black.

azimibraun: . Oh! Sorry smbody jst told me girls don't bleach and wear dead brazillian and peruvian ladies hair because of Men anymore; they do it for competition and superiority amongst themselves. I think say na because of us men sef.

True a million times. After a lil prodding, a lady told me the same ish. Sadly loads of ladies have self esteem issues.

Rare in Nigeria perhaps but not ibmn the the rest of Africa especially the Southern Africa.

craziebone:

the entertainment industry here in Nigeria would have done the Job more perfectly but they betrayed us completely.

Nollywood and Nigeria's music industry have done a great deal by telling the African story by Africans but it failed in the all important; by showing black beauty on tv and cherishing it. If they had done that, maybe men would value the black skin better. But i dont blame the entertainers who prefer light skin ladies. They are also a victim of brainwashing and media propaganda.

Gbam...u've said it all

50calibre: Until i met her brother and he was dark as night.

Loooooooooooool.

BluIvy:

Yeah. I'm talking about our beloved Nigeria where the rate of bleaching is staggering.

You can actually tell in some cases. Check the width and roundness of the nose.Most Mixed race light complexion individual have sharp nose as one of the tell tales.

Bwahahahahaha

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a dark skinned Nigerian chic/woman, to be honest.

Is it the make-up or most Nigerian females are either naturally caramel or light skinned?

BluIvy: 77% Imagine, then they claim to the Giant of Africa when dark skinned girls have actually vanished into the bottles of Whitelicious!

Nigerian women bleach than any other women on earth. Its a FACT. The only country on earth thats proud to be black is Ghana. We have black star in our national flag, our senior national team is call da Black Stars, U-17(Black starlets), U-20(Black Satellites), U-23(Black Meteors), female national team is call the Black Queens, U-17(Black Maidens), U-20( Black Princess). National hockey team is call Black Sticks, national table tennis team is call Black Loopers, national basketball team is call Black Hands and the national boxing team is call the Black Bombers. We love who we are and we wont change. Nigerians suffer from inferiority complex and its very laughable when they say Ghanaians are too black hahaaaaaaaa. Lupita Nyongo is making it big in Hollywood and she is pure black no bleachinggggggg

What is wrong with u bitter b.i.t.c.h ? Why are u so senseless and stwpid! What have bleaching got to do with giant of Africa. I knw ur a South african lady. Fool, I spit on ur gravel.

People bleach for reasons best known to them...but then,some people bleach & end up being brighter than their future !

Yeah u're right....though i once watched a documentary where little girls in an Asian country were paid money for their hair.
But most brazilian hair and the likes are shaved off from the dead.

purplish: Heck...MBGN 2014 is not even black! So why exactly should they believe? Ehn? *sips cold teem*

but agbani darego is black...

Cusubaba: What is wrong with u bitter b.i.t.c.h ? Why are u so senseless and stwpid! What have bleachin got to do with giant of Africa. Fool, I spit on ur gravel.

Maladroit buffoon there is nothing wrong with what the lady said. You are just a natural born idiottttt with no life.

Nawao...d way naija girls dey bleach now ehn, u fit go date ur ex again and u no go know.

craziebone:

Also, it that were true, how comes we have all the black people here. I know someone who bleeches when i see one. Many of the ladies i see here dont bleech.

yes they do. For some of them, their skin no wan gree for the bleach.

For others it would take them a long time. Nothing happens suddenly. Give many of those ladies a couple of years and you'll see wonders

Black is beautiful !

Go and compare a 40 year old black women to a 40 year old white women, then we can talk.
