Part of his post reads:
"We should ban the importation of human hair and its sale in Nigeria. It may shock you to note that Nigeria imports multi-millions of dollars worth of human hair annually. And much of that hair is unwashed, untreated human hair from Bangladesh. What a waste of our reserves.

"And for what? To make our women look like very bad copies of European, Latin and Asian women? And while we are at it, let us save another hundred of millions of dollars by banning the importation and sale of bleaching creams into Nigeria, by whatever name, be it toning, organic, or exotic creams. The degree of self-hate these products evince should have alarmed a responsible government ages ago."
According to him, beyond banning these hairs and creams, the government can help the younger generation acquire a better self-image.
Omokri added that NBC could introduce edicts that make it compulsory for Nigerian TV anchors to have natural hair and complexion and speak in Nigerian accents.
