The same reason the few in Ghana does.
Ghanaian men bleach more than naija men.
As per their women, when you compare the population ratio, they bleach more than naija babes.
Love Ghanaians but this is one weakness they have.

Whites tan their skins to look dark and our people are bleaching their skin to look like pigs. So sad.
And they have one kind of smell that follows them

Bleaching is a norm in Western Nigeria.
My male colleagues during NYSC were all using bleaching cream. It's quite surprising.

It is interesting how Africans bleach their skin, whites do the tanning to get their skin darker. African ladies use relaxers to make their hair straight, European women use chemicals that turn straight hair curly, etc. Every skin complexion and every type of hair can be beautiful. Black skin is beautiful and so is white. Straight hair is beautiful and so is curly. Be what you are!

Btw, would you say this girl is not beautiful because she is, you know, almost literally black?


Or this one

Most times it not intentional. It's wrong choice of cream.

Igbo and Hausa men don’t bleach, it’s usually Yoruba men

Na lie O!!! I don see many Hausa men that bleach blue black many times. Its a personal problem, not tribal. Although the tribes that ive noticed that bleach more are 1. YORUBA. 2. EDOS, 3 IGBOS. 4. KOGI/OKENE,. 5. OTHERS

She's looking for beauty. According to nature, it's the man that chooses a partner and not the other way round.
All a man has to do is to just make money fine or no fine but a lady needs enhancement because of the competition.

But today, we have men that have lost the ingredients that made them MEN in the first instance behaving like women.


Women can go to any length to justify the absurds,once they are the one in the picture of discuss.
Nobody that have a positive image about their person,either male or female,are going to bleach their skin.
Any man or woman that bleaches he or her skin is suffering from huge poor self image.
The way it's disgusting to see a man bleaching his skin,is the same way it should be disgusting to any sensible person that sees a woman bleaching her skin.

Why should anybody bleach to begin with? You shouldnt just pick on Nigerian men who bleach.



Preciousgirl:
Bleaching is news in Ghana
In Ghana, a few women bleach their skin to look fair

Guys rarely bleach in Ghana
However, the story is different for Nigerian men. Most Nigerian men have bleached their skin under the guise of toning

For me, it is hilarious and disgusting
Because I can make out a natural fair man and bleached man; besides I don't like fair guys

Guys, why do you bleach?

Think it's white supremacy related.. if whites didn't exist people won't bleach.

The self hatred is ingrained in the black man's psyche, to include weaves, how we view the world, what we accept as truth's etc.

More answers on this please.. great topic.

Men who bleach their skin have No sense of purpose.
A man that has a sense purpose would not waste his time bleaching, rather he would be working to better himself.

I said it today, I would say it again. I pity men who think looking handsome would take them anywhere. Its not only bleaching, look at the way some men pose while taking pictures, they would be pouting like women, ozo those it a lot.

i wouldn't be surprised if some men actually rub lipstick on their lips, so that their lips would look red or pink.

We are living in a generation of confused men.

Lastly, Women who bleach, have inferiority complex

I'm sexy and I know it.

be a fashionista!!!
