Skin bleaching in Sierra Leone has now become an added symbol and flavour to the so-called “beauty” of our teenage girls and adult women. Most of them are now like a living corpse walking around and only awaiting to be awarded the fatal price from skin cancer the killer disease. ur Sierra Leonean men who bank-roll this exercise are now sick and tired of the financial burden.

We should not forget the fact that Sub-Saharan Africans a group to whom Sierra Leoneans belong were created by God almighty in order to withstand the climatic conditions of their tropical environment.
