What's wrong with Nivea? Some of us are light skinned from birth how is that not embracing our color? Must I be charcoal black like most Ghanaians before you'll be happy? |

i wonder why these companies downgrading our skin colour won't ever make products that tone your skin colour from 'white to visibly dark'. perhaps the main issue is with us, africans, who feel our skin colour wasn't properly made by God and we are forever seeking to help Him change it to a fairer colour! |

PANDA2: Is so tue. It's a global disgrace that African men will kill themselves over a fair lady, and even pressure their wives and girlfriends to go into this act of bleaching What I cannot understand is the bobrisky crowd like omotola husband captain Ekehinde and alaafin and some of these new musical acts. Men who bleach have terrible body odor., and even many of the ladies. |

Nivea is the safest product I know. I'm one of those who used to be stuck on it, until I unfortunately started getting only fakes. It doesn't bleach. |

Lalas247:Prreeacch!!!! Too many girls bleaching their skin. It's absolutely horrible. Most times they look horrible. Their face yellow and theirs hands and feet black. If you see their faces without makeup, you'll run. Lets embrace the skin God gave to us. Theres nothin like a confident black dark skin woman who loves herself. Its beautiful. 2 Likes 1 Share |

moupe:Bullshi.t!! The majority of African men will have romantic relationships with ANY type of woman no matter her skintone,size,shape etc. Secondly,African women especially the Nigerian ones,bleach their skins because they see their fellow women bleaching their skins.Its not surprising because everyone knows women have terrible insecurities. This is not an African man issue.It is an African woman esp Nigerian woman insecurity issue.How many Nigerian ladies today dont spend hundreds of thousands of naira(sometimes even millions) inorder to acquire the hair of other womens' races and place them on their heads?

sKy007: Really difficult to tell, since they keep rebranding. You can manage to tell only when you've used the particular product for a long time. For me, I start reacting adversely immediately I use a fake product, which isn't normal. But there was a time I got one that smelled completely different from the usual fragrance. After getting fake on three consecutive occasions, I gave up on Nivea. |

So if the white lady turned black it will be fine but if otherwise it is racism? Really? And I ask again does that mean Asian skin is better than white skin? You choose to see racism to an advert that was not racist and as I said even the Nigeria model confirmed she understood what the message was. Taking a screenshot and blowing it up shows the level of insecurity we currently have and how people are actively looking for offence. If the advert was done using only white and Asian women we would shout they excluded black women. Also the fact many of the people angry haven’t even watched the advert and have reacted based on the screenshot shows where we are today as a society. We claim to be proud of your black skin yet get offended over something like that. That shows insecurity not strength and pride. Can you answer this question did you watch the whole advert before concluding racism or did you just reach to the screenshoot which was obviously taken to suggest racism? dataking: 2 Likes 1 Share |

pansophist: The sentence in bold is the exact reason such crème and advert is mounted all over Africa and may be somewhere else in the tropics. And it's not a good thing. When you have such Africans full of low self esteem, they keep on birthing kids who don't trust themselves- which is why we seem to be stuck in this continent. We're going nowhere, unless we love ourselves the way we are, unless we have confidence in ourselves, unless we trust ourselves. That's why such advert must be taken down. White people over hundreds of years of slavery and colonialism has acquired PhD degree on how to exploit us in all areas, so even our low self esteem must be exploited. I' am really glad Africans are beginning to see the big picture. 4 Likes 1 Share |

There are products that are meant to be used on fairer skin likewise There are product meant to be use to maintain black skin Now, in ghana, are all the population black skin? are there no persons there that are naturally fairer in skin color? The advert is simply saying, come oo una wey yellow, we get one product wey we get to maintain your yellowishness oo how's that racism or encouraging bleaching? |
