There is a good friend of mine in school that we had serious issue because of bleaching, it happened recently just wen the semester was coming to an end, even as we are on break now we don't talk on phone and we don't chat. He is a guy and he is bleaching, we were discussing about those who bleach(both male and female) and i told him I can tolerate a bleaching female but a male never, one thing led to another during the argument and he got angry and told me i am indirectly telling him that he is bleaching, i was like if a women bleaching we know she wants to draw attraction or better still look good for her man or hubby for crying out loud why should a man bleach? Then i started stating the side effects of bleaching that was when the argument heated the more, Lol he told me bleaching has no side effects. I said to him you will see the side effects when you start aging and he will see a rainbow colour on his face(That moments when a person bleaches to the extent that he or she get burns on both chin or better still when cream pours you hot water on the face, i mean natural hot water). After the argument this guy started giving me attitude, that was how we later stopped talking to each other and that was when i knew he is a hypocrite because, he always criticizes me any sunday i don't go to church but when i pointed out his bleaching issue he got very angry, while all those time he condemned me wen i missed church i never got angry#mind you this argument started playfully.

Yoruba men naim full this table. I feel they are into the occult and rituals, they wanna clean off something out of their dirty souls. And there's this particular odour that emanates from their bodies, so disgusting.
Pls men and even women, if you wanna bleach, kindly do it the right way, go get those lightening injections from the dematologists, it's safer and cleaner.

It started with slave trade, thats when the seed was first planted.
The white men had godlike tools were more intelligent, and even, looked and acts like gods so we felt inferior to these gods. And so for africans to feel atleast slightly superior, they bleach their skin. It's not something done delibretely instead its a subconcious action... thats why in africa, the lighter your skin is, the more beautiful you are it is just our psycology, and a way we define beauty a pyscology being passed from generations till today. so don't blame them for bleaching but blame the society

The trend is not isolated to one specific region either. Nigeria leads the purchasing trend with 77% using skin bleaching products (cream and non-cream based), followed by 59% in Togo, 27% in Senegal and 25% in Mali.

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?
/
Apparently they are bleaching for the ladies who love fair guys. In as much as I think that those who bleach should be handed over to SARS, I am wondering how you railroaded the question into your personal choice of men.
