Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by ibigbemiajax(m): 5:18pm On May 16, 2016 |
In recent times, skin lightening has gained more popularity than it ever did before in Nigeria. Awareness in the field of skin care has grown, the desire for flawless skin has increased, and women are lightening their skin tones like their lives depend on it. There are 4 reasons why Nigerian women are eager to join the light-skinnedom: To Beat Colorism In spite of the fact that we are all Africans, colorism occurs. Look at it as racism between people of the same race (how dumb). Nigerian women lighten their skin to stay on the favoured side of colorism; the fair skinned side. To Fade Imperfections Some women genuinely use skin lightening products to fade scars, spots and discolorations, before finally giving to the temptation to completely lighten their skin. To Escape Stigma Unconscious yet harmful statements like “see as you black” and “you be like under of pot” are things that push Nigerian women over the edge and make them lighten their skin. To Gain Confidence Some women are raised to loathe the darker complexion, because colorism is sometimes transferred from generation to generation. This fosters self-hatred and a desire to ditch all they have been told, mars their beauty. Hence they lighten their skin. Skin lightening is a trend that more Nigerian women have failed than succeeded at. Done properly, nobody cares. Everybody loves a light skinned woman. What is your take on skin lightening? Would you try it? Read More Here: http://234buzz.com/4-reasons-nigerian-women-lighten-skin/?utm_source=NairaLand&utm_medium=Post&utm_term=234buzz&utm_content=234buzz&utm_campaign=NairaLand

There's no justification whatsoever for tryna destroy your real skin. I call it foolishness because even if one's got a spot on her face, there are lotions to use and exfoliate the spots. Ladies are just too insecure and wordly-minded thats all. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Low self esteem |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Hannysmilez(f): 6:00pm On May 16, 2016 |
You guys should stop being silly. Bleaching is a 'black woman' thing nd not restricted to Nigerian girls only. Afro-Americans and Latinas too bleach,we've seen Lil Kim and the rest. Most of our girls feel they need to be 'white' to gain the attention they crave and somehow its not their fault. We should help them see they don't need to bleach to be pretty and not bash them for it. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by joseph1832(m): 6:15pm On May 16, 2016 |
Hannysmilez:Most men believe the best way to make a woman listen is to bash her, as trying to convince her gently will make her arrogant and aggressive. Call it a radical approach. Lol. |

Op, you need Jesus in your life... And you are asking God to Answer your call, when your voice and your face don't tally...

joseph1832:This explains why women that get bashed never change. I find it really ironic |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by joseph1832(m): 6:28pm On May 16, 2016 |
Hannysmilez:You think women who gets bashed never change? Wow. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Hannysmilez(f): 6:48pm On May 16, 2016 |
joseph1832:Well,I'm yet to see the likes of Afrocandy or Rukky Sanda or any other A list 'bashee' change so yes,I stick to my opinion of 'Bashing people don't change them'. You'd like to prove otherwise? |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by joseph1832(m): 6:52pm On May 16, 2016 |
Hannysmilez:Oh! Afrocandy and Rukky Sanda are earning a living, so I don't think they'll change. Does one earn a living from bleaching? Lol. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Hannysmilez(f): 6:59pm On May 16, 2016 |
joseph1832:What they're getting bashed for is an advantage. Same with the ladies that bleach. They must have accomplished what they set out for by bleaching,so bashing won't even move them. Funny enough,their accomplishments keep on motivating the younger ones to follow in their footsteps. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by joseph1832(m): 7:02pm On May 16, 2016 |
Hannysmilez:That's why the younger ones will get bashed too. Its a cycle you know. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Hannysmilez(f): 7:04pm On May 16, 2016 |
joseph1832:exactly my point. They don't care about being bashed. They have a goal they're aiming at. Hence,they'd never change if all we do is bash. |

Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by ibigbemiajax(m): 12:04am On May 17, 2016 |
joseph1832:oga yes o people make money from bleaching o..look at dencia |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Nobody: 12:10am On May 17, 2016 |
Never understood why girls bleach, a black chic will always be more beautiful and sexy than a fair chic, infact I won't mind a Babe black like charcoal that if NEPA strikes its only her teeth I will be seeing but seriously fair chics at most can be attractive. This bleaching has got to stop........and no I am not bleaching. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Hannysmilez(f): 1:40pm On May 17, 2016 |
ibigbemiajax:You sef know that anything involving Nigerians always has problem. Bleach well,they will not o. They'd end up looking like a work of art,different shades of brown on just one person. |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Nobody: 1:48pm On May 17, 2016 |
It all boils down to low self esteem |
Re: Why Nigerian Women Bleach! by Nobody: 1:51pm On May 17, 2016 |
