No doubt we have African finest in this country. Beautiful ladies flocks our institutions, roads and Churches (well, we do have some in Mosques as well), don't want anyone to label me. However, there's a trend that tends to short-circuit this beauty and which need to be addressed.

Take a look at the beautiful Ngozi's, Tayo's, the Lara's, Tonto's, Franca's and all the Nigerian actresses. Now take deep look at your sister and mum sitting next to you. What do these people have in common? Their tummy ofcourse! Having a bigger tummy and not giving a monkey about it is now the official motto of Nigerian women.

Tummy tuck-in is not healthy and has killed prominent Nigerians who think they can buy their way to fitness without hardwork in the gym. What are you saying @paris?

The beauty of a woman lies in the whole package and not just facial beauty alone. Having a bigger tummy is disgusting, unhygienic and not cool. I am therefore petitioning all our beautiful Nigerian ladies and mamas to hit the gym or atleast exercise at home and reduce those fats.

Been around the world and seen things. Nigerian ladies are easily identified by their protruding tummy. Our actresses are no better. Thought they should be role model, but no, they aren't. Ofcourse with the exception of beautiful Mercy Johnson who despite being a "big girl" still maintain a healthy flat tummy.

Nigerians ladies worldwide, this is a call to duty! A duty to live healthy and exercise regularly in order to be in shape.

I love you all my Nigerian girls!!!

Educated + unhealthy BMI = Pseudo-educated...Haha!

*walks in, reads post*
lol....definitely NOT for me
*walks out quietly*

My friends and I always scold Naija girls because of this. It's becoming a norm, very disturbing one @ dat!

Even the so called celebs sef

It's so annoying when u see a skinny girl with belly fat......

What pisses me off the most are those that don't even try to tuck it in, ARGH!!

I think it's d sort of food they eat

how can you tuck a belly as big as that of a 6mnths pregnant woman?
Its impossicant!

Do I dare get started on our 11-month pregnant men? Nigerian women are beautiful and are known for taking care of themselves. Can't say the same for some of our men, who still think Vaseline is a moisturizer.

Even nigerian men fancy big tummy

Can't say the same for some Nigerian women who moisturize with human foreskin.

I dnt also like belly fat but i don't see any reason y it should be bugging u guys this much #facefront

@ OP: you're right. A protruding tummy (except pregnancy) doesn't show that one takes good care of him/herself.

Even the gym seems to make many of them 'lazier'. Most that go to the gym do so just to pass time, wit no serious workout schedule or plan! The best solution to knock out those fats is serious aerobics. Eg. Running 3km in atmost 20mins.

timilehing: Even nigerian men fancy big tummy

If that is a description of Nigerian men, then I aint nigerian

I find protruding tummies on ladies very, very appalling. And the OP is right, many of them dont seem to care. So disgusting to see a lady act like she is sexy even with her big tummy.

I think it works both ways. Most Nigerians are not really into physical fitness, the reason for this maybe cultural. We live in a culture that glorifies fat people and ridicules slim people. The lack of fitness is partly the reason why the life expectancy of the average Nigerian is very low.

I fell off my sit laughing hard after reading the title and finally the OP's sentiment.

Nnaaaaaa Ewooo See jabs at naija women. Chei na wa oooo

OP you gotta love naija women my brother, fat belly or not. You gotta love am

I do love '
em

Nigerians lack maintenance culture.. Until that thing spoil b4 dem go begin find solution. If u exercise urself regularly while u're still slim, u won't get fat. But like I said, they (can't say we coz I aint 1 of 'em) relax until d body accumulates enough fat b4 they realize, by then it becomes a daunting fight against laziness..

Asin!! I see a lotta beutiful girls..buh wen i look closer the stomach spoils it all... Ahn ahn..der a tummy slim teas around na
