UK has the highest population of AFONJA immigrants in the world so there was a high demand for skin whitening cream so Igbo man grabbed the business opportunity with both hands

Let me just relax in my bullet-proof jacket, and wait for the replies that will come. to this comment quoted above.

Without wanting to attract any collateral damage during the usual clash of the titans, can I at least ask about the statement that the Igbo man "grabbed the business opportunity with both hands." ?

Can we take this statement to mean that our Ndiiigbo brethren are blessed with a keen eye for a good investment, and a sharp sense of strategic marketing, particularly in the online world ?

If by oyibo you mean Spanish, Arabs and Asians then Yes, more than blacks. Arabs and Indians use heavily.

1Sharon:


Why do you think that? Most of the ppl that bleach are FOBAfricans anyway.

What is FOB?

And I thought 80% of Black British are African migrants
so what do you mean by most of the people that bleach are Africans? You, where are you from?

Fact is, It is used hugely in the Caribbean, Asia and Middle east. Research it. Bleaching use is not completely informed by black skin; rather it is informed by wanting to be relatively lighter and smoothing skin.

Skin whiteners are still in demand, despite health concerns

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/09/02/health/skin-whitening-lightening-asia-intl/index.html


Japan accounts for about 21% of skin-lightening product sales in Asia.

Story highlights

Globally, the demand for whiteners continues to climb, especially in Asia, the Middle East and Africa
The Asia-Pacific market is the most lucrative region, making up more than half of the global market

(CNN)The ridicule started at age 6.
Classmates would bully Fatima Lodhi, taunting her and other darker students with derogatory names.

It got worse as she got older. In high school, she was nominated for the "Makeover Required" category in her high school in Islamabad, Pakistan. And in graduate school, fellow students would yell "let's paint her white" whenever she crossed their paths.





Fatima Lodhi started an anti-colorism campaign called Dark is Divine.
"All this was done by my light-skinned fellows, just to make me feel bad," said Lodhi, a 28-year-old early childhood educator who started the anti-colorism campaign Dark is Divine in 2013.
The campaign conducts classes online and in schools on media literacy, confidence-building and inclusion, with the goal of teaching people to embrace themselves and be comfortable in their own skin. It has now reached more than 20 countries.
"Light skin, white skin, is still considered the ambassador of beauty," Lodhi said.
A recent study found that more than half of 1,992 men and women surveyed about product use in India had tried skin whiteners, and close to half (44.6%) felt the need to try such products due to media such as TV and advertisements.
Globally, the demand for whiteners is climbing, projected to reach $31.2 billion by 2024, up from $17.9 billion in 2017, especially in Asia, the Middle East and Africa, according to market intelligence firm Global Industry Analysts. Routine skin whitener use ranges from 25% in Mali to 77% in Nigeria, and it's 40% in China, Malaysia, the Philippines and South Korea, according to the World Health Organization.

Asia's growing market
But when it comes to these products, the Asia-Pacific market is the most lucrative region, making up more than half of the global market -- an estimated $7.5 billion out of $13.3 billion -- in 2017, according to Future Market Insights, which studies markets in over 150 countries. China accounts for about 40% of sales in Asia, Japan 21% and Korea approximately 18%.
"In East Asian culture, women prefer lighter skin tone because they believe 'yī bái zhē bǎi chǒu,' which means 'a white complexion is powerful enough to hide seven faults,' " said Shuting Hu, who researches new ingredients for whiteners, looking at the mechanism in skin cells at the molecular level. She is executive director and co-founder of SkinData Limited Hong Kong, a technology startup based on her research at the University of Hong Kong.
And, as Lodhi found in childhood, darker skin signified more than just a mark against beauty.

Egypt’s chlorine craze: How fair skin obsession has taken a dangerous turn


nglish.alarabiya.net/en/features/2018/06/27/Egypt-s-chlorine-craze-How-fair-skin-obsession-has-taken-a-dangerous-turn.html

Obsession with fair skin is not new to Egypt, the Arab region, or generally countries with a predominantly dark-skinned population.

This obsession was particularly highlighted with the emergence of whitening products that promised several shades lighter in the shortest time and plus of course always linking being “fair” to becoming “lovely.”

However, with those products gradually becoming old news, Egyptian women are coming up with new recipes for a fairer skin. One of the most common, and most controversial for that matter, is chlorine.

Interest in the use of chlorine for cosmetic purposes started with a study published in November 2013 by the School of Medicine at Stanford University, California. According to the study, “animals bathed in the bleach solution experienced less severe skin damage and better healing and hair regrowth than animals bathed in water.”

Chlorine, the study added, can also aid in the treatment of skin damage caused by radiation, aging, or excessive sun exposure. US-based Plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Shapiro, admitted that several skin problems are treated with bleach-based creams.

“The ingredient helps make collagen thicker, and I do see how bleach can be a potentially promising product for anti-aging,” he said. However, he objected to its use by women at home since there has to be an exact dilution rate which can only be accurately produced by chemists. Otherwise, serious damage can occur including burning the skin if the concentration rate is too high. That is why using bleach for skin treatment still needs “a great amount of work,” as Shapiro put it.

And on and on...

DEV-ASTATED Coronation Street fans in tears as Asha Alahan calls herself ugly and reveals her badly scarred arm from skin bleach


CORONATION Street viewers are in tears after Asha opened up about her hatred of her own skin.

The schoolgirl - who is played by actress Tanisha Gorey in the ITV soap - was caught lightening her skin with dangerous bleach creams in tonight's episode.

Many Nigerians that bleach are already fair in complexion. Pale skin Japanese still bleach. So stop making it seem that all Nigerians are coal black and any fair one is because of bleaching.

Yes I know it's used in those places too but this lady was selling to mostly africans.

So what happened to exfoliation? Can't that smooth skin?

****

BlackSaints:

That's means she's selling it to your parents and you.
When you commit a crime in U.k. and the British tag you
1Sharon of Africa origin do this and that bla bla I hope you will tell that you are Black British. Because I've seen so many Nigerians born and raised in the U.S or U.K.they have never stepped their foot in Nigeria, but they commit a crime the British people or American always reminds them that
they are of Nigeria Origin. Before that, they are all Black American or Black British. NB: I'm using Nigeria as a reference because I'm a Nigerian. Now black to the topic, people in the Caribbeans bleach their skins a lot e.g
Jamaicans so we can be too certain if these couples are selling their bleaching creams only to Africans living in the UK.

1Sharon parents are Yoruba people from Nigeria I wonder why she keeps shouting Africans when her own parents are also Africans
people tho.

You really think oyinbos can tell the difference between Nigerians, Ghanaian, jamaican?
Pls use your head.

A black person being born in the UK doesn't stop them from being illegal, especially if their parents aren't british citizens themselves. It doesn't work like it does it in the states.

They only refer to their african ancestry when it's relevant to the crime story or if the person isnt a citizen, why would they call them British in that case?

MOST british news reports on black crime dont mention the criminals african ancestry so you're wrong there.

Only nigerians do this when reposting on nigerian sites as they recognize the persons name ofcourse. The original articles never mention their background so you're wrong.
