Why Is It That Some Nigerian Ladies Bleach Their Skin by Dreyl(m): 11:29am On Apr 17, 2017
The rate nigerian ladies bleach their skin is so alarming, why would you bleach your God given natural skin to a different color? Are some ladies suffering from low self-esteem or inferiority complex or both? When i travelled to ghana i saw a lot of bevy of pretty ladies with dark and chocolate skin, radiating. They were so proud of their skin, i even made friends with some of them. Here in nigeria it's different, their was one pretty dark skin girl i met. that was in 2012, infact she was my friend sister, when i saw her recently in an event i couldn't recorgnise her, not until she came to meet me, mehn i was really gobsmacked because she has changed completely, and looks like a white albino, please ladies if you are guilty of bleaching your skin, you better stop it now. Black is beautiful, and moreover bleaching your skin won't make you a white woman.

They bleach because most times men prefer light skinned girls to dark skinned girls, unless they can't get the light ones, they settle for the dark ones but they won't love her entirely or spend on her the way they will spend on the light skinned girl.


They also prefer to marry light skinned girls.



A guy onces said if a girl is not light skinned, she is ugly, dirty and she is ajekpako, light skinned ajebutter and beautiful, so far the girl is just yellow and he only dates light skinned girls.



I guess black is no longer beautiful in Africa.

A guy onces told me to bleach my skin, saying that I will look like a goddess if I do but I refused bluntly cos I'm beautiful just the way I am...

I pity the black race, low self esteem and colorism is killing us.

That's a foolish reasoning. Only girls with low self-esteem bleach their skin.

Re: Why Is It That Some Nigerian Ladies Bleach Their Skin by Safiaa(f): 11:53am On Apr 17, 2017
Its an issue of colourism.

Its an unconscious discrimination agaisnt dark skin women. Its funny, because most of the people that bring down dark women are DARK MEN. They are dark themselves, yet they despise women with their same complexion. It's self hate. Thats the reason why women bleach their skin.

Everybody needs validation in their life, and if a women feels like shes not recieving that validation due to her skin colour, she'll change it. They're some women who are secure in themselves, and believe they're beautiful regardless. However, most are not, and change their skin to feel more accepted and loved.

Didnt look at your profile.

I assumed you're not dark.


If you're dark, your character is top notch, plus you are sensible, I don't see any reason why you should be passed like a bad fruit..
