Why Is Skin Bleaching High In Nigeria by zhike(op): 9:46pm On Oct 22, 2025
Nigeria tops the list in Africa in skin bleaching, second place is DRC, third place is Cameroon.
76 percent of Nigerians bleach their skins and less than 1 percent of south Africans bleach their skins as per research.

When you bleach your skin it shows that you are not proud with your black skin and you want to look like white. This is inferior mindset.

Why does Nigerians bleach their skins?

76% of Nigerians?

Where the hell did you get that ridiculous figure?

The same Nigerians they say are living in 'abject poverty'?

76% of them have money for bleaching cream?

Nahh..The figure is closer to 10% or less.

Mostly stupid city women.

10 percent is very less, try to be honest with yourself.
Nigerians can use their last cent to buy bleaching products as per research.

The problem of most Nigerians is that they don't want to accept the fact.

In order to fix the problem, accept it first
