Nollywood actress and comedian Adeyela Adebola, widely recognized as Lizzy Jay, has delivered a powerful message to slender women, urging them to resist societal pressures and body-shaming.

In a post on her Instagram account, the comedic film star highlighted the growing trend of individuals resorting to weight-loss medications like Monjaro and Ozempic, along with various slimming concoctions, in pursuit of a slimmer appearance.

Speaking to women who frequently face labels such as “dry” or “too slim,” Lizzy Jay urged them to accept their natural body shape and stand firm against any form of harassment.

“Dear Slim women, or ‘Dry’ or whatever the society chooses to call you, have you seen the rate at which people use Monjaro (or is it Kilimanjaro, you people call it) and Ozempic to get slim? Have you seen the rate at which people drink all sorts of mixtures to get slim? Don’t let anybody pressure you o, most importantly, don’t let anybody bully you, oloriburuku ni opolopo ninu won,” she wrote.
