Nigerian woman fired from her job for bleaching her skin
A Nigerian woman has reportedly been fired from her job because her bleached skin made customers uncomfortable.
Her employer identified as @IkotSharon on Twitter made this known on the micro-blogging platform.
According to her, the company had to let the woman go because they couldn’t allow her to serve customers with her dark knuckles.
She said management suggested the woman be moved to another department where she wouldn’t have to interact with customers but she refused.
They also suggested that she wears gloves because customers were complaining that her skin made her look dirty, but she also declined so they had to fire her.

“So a lady got fired today cus she bleached so bad her knuckles were dark while her body was white. She obviously can’t serve guests with those hands so we had to let her go.
I am not against bleaching your skin but just do it right.
We do not discriminate staff with conditions of any sort. We offered to move her out of the floor due to complaints of her looking untidy, she decline. Gloves was an option too for her.
We run medical checkups on all staff and find best ways to manage them with us.”
