Godmystrength: That hasn't answered my question. Have you seen me/my body on NL??

onirugbon1:

Talking about seeing bodies am I late?

Godmystrength: no you are not late. we are just starting. let's start with you

EfemenaXY: The beach is free for all.

ALL, in the sense that you get all sorts of people there. Kind ones, selfish ones, sensitive ones, cynical ones, and downright rude ones. Sometimes it's best to protect yourself. If she was bold enough to go out there and bare it all, then she should have had the backbone to weather the insults hurled at her, otherwise she should have covered up whilst in public if she had an iota of common sense.

I say 'common sense' because what people will see is not a woman who's birthed five kids, but a woman whose bodily features have gone down-south.

If she so desperately needed that tan, then she ought to have sunbathed in the privacy of her garden abeg, otherwise hit the gym and shape up.

onirugbon1:

Inotherwords, the beach is free for all to open up for a tan except mothers who have stretch marks?

You might want to review that because getting a tan at the beacj is not what caused an uproar.
Uploading the pics on the internet did.

EfemenaXY:

Kindly point out where I explicitly stated the bolded.

Re: her uploading the pics on the internet was her reaction to being scoffed at, at the beach. Mind you, I'm not for or against her. I'm sitting comfortably on the fence.

Its a beach. Nobody notices anybody in the middle of fun or relaxation and nobody cares.
Uploading the pics to the internet is what caused the scoff.

Chillisauce:

Pls go back and read slowly .

onirugbon1:

Lai lai. My brother or is it sister, na forward ever o. Not going back to read nattin

Chillisauce:

Listen to efemenaxy, she is right . Did I tell you she is a prof?

Chillisauce: I don't care about any flabby skin while in the Beach. Be it man or woman. Your body.
Stretch Mark or not. If you are comfortable in your bikini, pls wear it.
That reminds me , i once saw an old Man taking à bath in thé stream one time i went to my village. I was very young, I guess about 6 yrs . He just got naked and started bathing not minding the kids there. The scrotum was practically touching his knee .
I was like . I tap my bros, what is this ? I asked.
My Brother had to pull me out from the stream and asked me to close my eyes till the man finishes. After then I learnt to mind my business and close my eyes when I see such .
I hope someone learns from my story.

EfemenaXY:


Now that's where you're wrong, re: the bolded bit of your post. People did notice her and not only that, they made fun of her. It's the teasing / mean comments / playful kicking at her, etc that drove her to retaliate by posting those pics in the first place. If people like you say, hadn't made fun of her and had rather stuck to minding their own businesses, d'you think she would have protested the way she did?

onirugbon1:
Oh ok.
Just went back to read the item. People's jabs did truely drive her to post the pics.

onirugbon1:

She writes good novels too.

Ujujoan: I appreciate that you birthed 5 human beings. But i didn't go to the beach to look at an abomination, spilling out from all corners.

I'm sorry, but birthing 5 kids is not an excuse to be over weight. While things like stretch marks cannot be avoided, those extra layers of fat can!!!

What am I saying, hit the gym and spare yourself the embarrassment!!!

OR

Cover up!!!

A nairalander should tap me when this hits front page
