According to findings from a research by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and an accompanying article by Aljazeera, 8 out of 10 Nigerian women are involved in the trend of skin bleaching.
The trend is also very common in Nollywood as most actresses engage in skin bleaching. Only a few of the actresses like Genevieve Nnaji, Mercy Johnson and a few others maintain their dark skin while in the Nigerian showbiz world.
One Nollywood actress who finds the skin bleaching trend silly is Ini Edo. According to her, “I think it’s the silliest thing to do. It’s a big sign of lack of confidence. And I have never been tempted to do it.”
Like Ini said, it is a matter of low confidence. Most of the women who are into skin bleaching say looking lighter gives them a chance to be successful as well as in finding a husband.

According the World Health Organisation, 8 out of 10 Nigerian women bleach their skin. According to Aljazeera’s report, the is not only common among women but also with men.
Most of the women bleach because they want to look beautiful in a continent where being beautiful is measured on the fairness of your skin. Staying black is not beautiful.
The women believe it will afford them to an opportunity to become successful as well as in finding a husband.
The World Health Organisation says more than 70 percent of Nigerian women admit they use such products — even though they are aware of the health risk that is associated with bleaching the skin.
