Nollywood actress Didi Ekanem says Mercy Johnson made women in Nigeria begin to embrace their curviness, Igbere TV reports.

The actress in a series of posts shared to her Instastories on Thursday said she used to be bullied as a young girl due to her curvy nature.

According to her, she is going to open a YouTube channel to tell her fans how she used to be bullied in secondary school for being curvy. Didi said she severally prayed to God for her curvy figure to be taken away from her.

“I’m going to open a YouTube channel so I can tell you guys about me, my body, how I used to be bullied in secondary school for being curvy.

“How I used to cry endlessly at nights and prayed to God to deflate my bum cos of mockery. Growing up as a young girl, it was tough,” she wrote.

The actress added: “Mercy Johnson literally made curvy women in Nigeria to start embracing their beauty. The way she was so confident in her body was mind-blowing and I remember wishing to be like her always. That’s how she became my favourite Nigerian actress and not to mention her strong acting prowess.”

It wasn't Mercy. It was Kim Kardashian who changed the worldwide desire for thin, flat asses to curvy, round bottoms.

This is the reason social media bill should be passed not because we tell the truth but because of such a talkative as this..

Not forgetting Omotola has been there. I don’t know what she is talking about, but Nigerians and Nigerian men have never had a problem with big-booty-women.
