‘What do you gain from it?’ — Shan George asks ladies who bleach skin

Shan George, the Nigerian actress and filmmaker, has taken a swipe at ladies who engage in the acts of bleaching their skin.

The movie star was reflecting on the prevalence of the practice in the society via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday.

George wondered why women use lightening cream, arguing that while such not only damage their skin, it does not add any value to those who indulge in it.

“After all that bleaching, now you don yellow sotay (to the extent) we dey see all your veins and nerves in green and red colours, you still never see husband, you never become rich, nor have you got any titles/degrees. Wetin you gain?” she wrote in a mixture of English and Pidgin.

In another post, the filmmaker also tackled those who are fond of sharing pictures of themselves while in church to give people the impression that they are holy.

“If you keep posting pictures of when you were in church making me think you are holy, please, remember to also post that of when you are committing sin, to let me know I’m wrong. You ain’t holy,” she added.

The 50-year-old actress was in the news last month after she called out Chiwetalu Agu, her colleague, for denying that he wore an outfit supporting Biafra.
