Popular TV personality, Toke Makinwa has released a new Vblog post, where she advises women wanting to go for body enhancement to go for it, as she herself had a job done as she was struggling with her self-esteem.
She spoke about body enhancement, especially for women who are done giving birth and those in their 30’s, and are struggling to accept their body, saying they should not be deterred if they ever feel enhancement is what they need to feel good about themselves.
Toke Makinwa who had earlier made a post talking about starting her second book, started up her Vblog post with talk of her suffering from flu and sipping a tea mixed with honey to recover from it. She said what prompted her latest topic ‘body enhancement’ was the just concluded #10yearschallenge and how her own post which she said was way back and more than 10-years motivated her to talk about women enhancing their body.
She bragged about how her #10yearschallenge photo made it to CNN and the allegation of bleaching that followed, saying she had a job done on herself.
She said she was not happy with herself, especially her height and since she could not do anything about it, she had to get a job done on her butt. She said if there was no way she could increase her height, she was going to be that small babe with a banging body with killer shape. She said:
“This year, I am going to speak to those people who might be going through a phase in their life right now where they’re feeling shamed as a result of things they’ve done at some point in the past — or who are not necessarily bold enough to take the step and own certain things. Everyone has self-esteem issues. Everyone has one or two things that they are not proud about”.
“If we are open to the invention of technology, why are we not open to the invention of medical science? If you are someone who wants to get a boob job for yourself, if you want to get any part of your body enhanced, don’t let anybody shame you for making those choices. It is the same God that gave the scientist the brain to invent certain things like phones, sim cards, that gave doctors the brain to find new ways to make the body better,” she said
“This year I stopped complaining and changed things. I hated my body, I fixed it, (best decision ever). I hated hanging around certain people who made me feel small; I dropped them, I learnt to forgive (I still struggle but it’s a journey), I learnt to be at peace. #2018Lessons,” she had said.
