Ini Edo, the award-winning Nollywood actress has opened up on the struggles that women who engage in body enhancements go through
Ini Edo in an interview with Pulse Nigeria asserted “I mean, I just feel like nobody who sits around the judging people has a right to tell anybody how to live their lives or who to be or who not to be. It’s not your place. You don’t have the right! And so for me, I say to people who do that, I’m like, you, first of all, have to be able to dictate the pace of your life to be able to dictate somebody’s else’s pace. It makes no sense that you have no control over your own life and you’re trying to think that’s its okay to have control over somebody’s else’s life, it doesn’t make any sense. And I say to women; Be your own person”
The actress would further add “You make your own choices and live with the consequences of your choices and your actions. So, it’s not anybody place to dictate to a woman how she should look. If she should be fat, if she should be slim, if she should be thick. You make your own choices and live with the consequences of your choices and actions. So it’s not anybody’s place to dictate to a woman how she should look. If she should be slim if she should be thick”
Ini Edo would conclude by adding “And especially in this kind of industry where we are in, I remember there was a time when people used to say to me ‘Oh you added so much weight, you should lose weight’ you know people begin to put all those crazy ideas in your head and if you as a woman, you allow it , it forms an expression. Some people fall into places where they start to doubt themselves and their self-confidence begins to dwindle because of the constant negatives that you’re hearing”
