Lol...former governor of Oyo State Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, has cautioned a Punch reporters for asking if he bleaches his skin. In an interview with Saturday Punch, while speaking about his quality lifestyle, the reporter drew is ire for daringb to ask him a 'stupid question' see the excerpt below:
You talked about quality, is it in terms of dressing too?
In terms of everything, Akala is a man of quality. Look at me, I am a man of quality, with due respect. I use quality materials.
Is the use of jewellery part of it too?
Yes, I have been using jewellery as a young man. ...
Is it not illegal for you to wear necklace with your uniform?
It was not legal but my uniform would cover it.
Is it part of your own fashion to bleach?
Bleach? That is stupidity; you are asking a very stupid question, how can I bleach? You are very stupid to ask that question. What do you mean by that? What gave you that impression?
(He pulled up his clothe and singlet to show his fair complexion.)
Is this bleaching? Have you seen the cream that I use that makes me bleach or did you know me when I was black? So if you want to write that, put it there that I said you are very stupid to ask me that kind of question. Don’t ask that kind of question again. What you don’t know; you ask. You don’t even know my parents. Is my wife complaining or my children? I don’t know what gave anybody the impression that I bleach. You don’t know me; do you know what it takes to bleach?
