Lagos, Nigeria - After carefully washing her face, legs and arms, Taiwo Solomon vigorously rubs cream over her body. She is meticulous and makes sure she covers her entire face. Soloman, 32, is bleaching her skin. She believes fairer skin could be her ticket to a better life. So she spends her meager savings on cheap black-market concoctions that promise to lighten her pigment.
This has been a daily routine for the past 15 years. Nowseveral shades lighter she says her new skin makes her feel more beautiful and confident.
“Bleaching just makes me feel special, like am walking around in a spotlight,” she told Al Jazeera. “I am not seeking to be totally white, I just want to look beautiful. I cannot stop using the lightening agents,” she adds.
Solomon is not alone. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 77 percent of women in Nigeria use skin-lightening products, the world’s highest percentage. That compares with 59 percent in Togo, and 27 percent in Senegal. The reasons for this are varied but most people say they use skin-lighteners because they want "white skin".
In many parts of Africa, lighter-skinned women are considered more beautiful and are believed to be more successful and likely to find marriage.
It's not only women though who are obsessed with bleaching their skins. Some men too are involved in thepractice.
Conceptions of beauty
Lightening creams are not effectively regulated in Nigeria where even roadside vendors sell tubes and plastic bags of powders and ointments from cardboard boxes stacked along sidewalks in market districts. Many of the tubes are unlabelled as to their actual ingredients.
"An African will prefer to be called John-Philip. If yousaid your name was Chukwu Emeka Afongkudong they will say you are from the village. You are backward. How can you have such a name? We really look down on our culture and heritage instead of being proud of it. "
- Femi Kut, Nigerian Musician
In a market in Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital, business is booming for shops selling skin-lightening products. Both local and imported products line the shelves of Rashida Lawal’s cosmetics shop.
"About 90 percent of my clients come asking for skin whitening products," she told Al Jazeera. "I sell it to them and give advice on what product is best for them and how to use them."
She says most of her customers are in a great haste to lighten their skin.
“Taking the color of your skin to different colour has to be gradual. It's not something you decide one day that 'I want to be fair, I want to be like Michael Jacksonand you become Michael Jackson all of a sudden'. That is why we have to advise them first before selling it to them” said Lawal.
Rashida and her staff also mix different ointments and creams for customers “depending on the desired level of lightness”.
Famous Nigerian Musician Femi Kuti says the use skin-lightening products have given rise to their own terminology.
“When the bleaching propaganda got so negative, they had to come up with toning. Bleaching sounds too hard, now it’s toning. I don't bleach, they say, I tone!”
“They think bleaching is gege ,” he told Al Jazeera, using a Nigerian term for cool.
Femi attributes skin bleaching to a feeling that foreign products and images must, by definition, be good.
“An African will prefer to be called John-Philip. If you said your name was Chukwu Emeka Afongkudong they will say you are from the village. You are backward. How can you have such a name? We really look down on our culture and heritage instead of being proud of it,” he laments.
Dangerous consequences
Skin bleaching comes with hazardous health consequences. The dangers associated with the use of toxic compounds for skin bleaching include blood cancers such as leukemia and cancers of the liver and kidneys as well as severe skin conditions.
Hardcore bleachers use illegal ointments containing toxins like mercury, a metal that blocks production of melanin, which gives the skin its colour, but can also be toxic.
Ayobode Williams, a medical doctor, says the skin bleaching agents have both internal and external effectson those who use them.
“Systemically it causes things like kidney failure because of the mercury in some of the products and it also causes eczema, skin pigmentation among a host of other infections,” he told Al Jazeera.
Dr Williams warned that sustained use of bleaching agents could cause even cancer.
Yet few seem to pay attention to these dangers. For those who bleach, staying black is not beautiful at all.

dont even know where to start from. Too many tracks. Cant d op highlight the hits only, instead of the whole jagbajantis

There are really questions begging for answers as far as our collective wealth is concerned. Why build a church when u can build a world class hospital, misplaced priorities here

SKUKI all d way, Ma yin eh ni Banger!!!!

I already clicked d download button bt d comments here just killed it.

Sleeky and elegance personified

@Op, i used to b malaria prone till i tried that in school then. Suffice to say, i felt 'cured'.

Is Nigeria a core Catholic country? Fooo.ls

Igo loju Omo Oda'ran. Happy birthday

Police people just cannot be reasoned with. Methinks, they need to be brain checked. While criminals abound, what is police business with demolitions here? Smh

This guy is a joker. Lol. keep dreaming, u ad better back dat swagz up wit money ;DThis guy is a joker. Lol. keep dreaming, u ad better back dat swagz up wit money

This thread is cracking me up. Kai, orientation don shift oo. Global harvest church, ibadan is close to my 'hood tho. Never knew this was right under my nose. I just might try sha, tho am shy

ferhyntorlah: Blueheart, it doesn't work that way. A good guy can change if he associates with negative personalities. Like the Bible says: "evil communication corrupts good manners".

I will av to disagree with u, i have both d good and more of the negative personalities around me, yet am not influenced because i believe deep inside everyone, there is a force of the good and the bad. Itz all a matter of what we choose to be @feyintola. Sumone said, men hide there true colors or sumthg, do u realise, ladies always overlook warning signs bcause they believe they can fix such a guy, even going as far as believing theirs wont be like the other unfortunate ladies that have dated such guys

Wow, so, why do all the 'good girls' marry 'terrible' guys? Itz not like u ladies didnt see all these coming. Through datin and courtship and all. Its really sad. @Op, am glad u still believe that good men exists. Good luck

Single i think

@Op, this generation of players are hungry nd willing to learn. I feel there is more to be expected from them. With more exposure, we are looking at a new golden generation. Ur aforementioned are tired legs
