It Is A Shame To See Our Girls Dying While Undergoing Surgery For A Bigger Bum – Pete Edochie

Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie has come out to say that it is now hard to find a Nigerian lady who is naturally beautiful.

He recently revealed this via a viral clip, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he doesn’t understand the recent obsession with plastic surgery and artificial beauty enhancers, and he won’t care if he is insulted for his opinion.

He added that it is even sad that some of our girls die in the operating room as they try to inflate their bum.

His words, “Today, it is difficult to find a girl who is still what she is. They wear false hair, false lashes, false boobs, false bum, I do not know what is still natural about you, let’s be honest. Why must our girls be obsessed with these things, I don’t know.”

“I would want them to insult me and tell me why they are obsessed with those things. I might be insulted, but I mean, I am used to it. Insult me, it does not mean anything to me.”

“Some girls now die when they try to operate and inflate their bum. May the good Lord help me.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
