why don't some of you just be a little humble and get educated for once? It's discriminatory to give jobs based on skin color and that's what people are trying to tell you but you just wouldn't learn.
It's just a hopeless case with most nairalanders these days. They don't know and they are never willing to learn. The site is becoming tiring.

Thumbs up.

Even, here, in the US, its illegal to discriminate on the basis of age with regard to job applications. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that some people are fine with a company openly engaging in skin-color discrimination.

I want a fair Lady as my secretary and its discriminatory to you

Alright

I hear you

I have learnt

Please and please dont quote again

tivta:

But it is OK to discriminate against 1st class and 2nd class?

Lol. See logic.

izzou:
But i dont see whats wrong with the ad
They need a light skinned lady
Wetin dey bad there??

Iwu akpa amu... here na South Africa?

People reacted negatively, as they should do. We need to stop putting light skin on a pedestal, and just embrace who we are. It's getting ridiculous now. Yes, the ad was wrong. Shouldn't be treated with any more leniency than if it had been somebody of another race discriminating against black people as a whole.
I'm side eying those up in this thread acting like there's no correlation between the pedestalling of light skin and the skin bleaching epidemic...

YES it is logic, we all have our ideal candidate for any job we are offering...

Nothing wrong with the ad. He pays the salary, he has every right to declare a preference for the staff he wants. Anyone who doesn't like it shouldn't apply for it. No racism here, light-skin in Nigeria is not a race. If I were the dude, I will even add some more terms and conditions to narrow down applicants e.g. light-skinned females who apply must be a figure 8.

There is SHADISM. I better not see you complaining when some girls start bleaching or wear butt pad coz they want to fit into unrealistic beauty standards.

I think what's annoying is that,they seem to care less about the competence of the applicant.

so seriously, the skin colour is the only qualification??

That's not a crime in any country, unlike racism e.t.c.

teasel:

You're probably smelling yourself and your bleached family members.
Filthy thing!

I love this heheheheheheehe...so this is all u got to say....rain more insults on me please....

Na wa ooo!!! Its so biased requesting for a specific skin colour for a job. This country has turned into something else entirely.

Hmmm, naija I hail ooo. .. Wat wont we hear... Wonders dey say neva ceases
