Nigerian actress and body positivity activist Monalisa Stephen has strongly expressed her dissatisfaction with critics who are comparing her to her colleagues, Eniola Badmus and Warri Pikin.
On her Instagram page, she expressed her desire not to emulate or lose weight like others. She urged her online harassers to leave her alone and accept her body as it is.
She emphasized that she will always remain true to herself and has no desire to be someone else. Additionally, she pointed out that whenever a plus-size celebrity undergoes weight loss, trolls falsely assume she is envious of them.
“I don’t want to be or look like Aunty Eniola Badmus or Real Warri Pikin. I don’t want to lose weight and be thin. Leave me alone with my fat body.
I am still here to Remind every one of you Trolls that I will forever be Me! I am not anyone and don’t even wish to be another Person
Make una Dey Try Rest!

And the worst narration is y’all saying I hate anyone who loses Weight !! Like how is that my Business!!!
This weight loss Agenda will not Agend with me Rara!!! I love me this way! If you can’t respect it! Block me”.
Eniola Badmus made headlines in 2022 for undergoing gastric bypass surgery in Turkey. In an interview with City People, she openly discussed her decision to have the surgery and acknowledged that the process was more challenging than it appeared. She emphasized that she had personally experienced the difficulties involved.
Warri Pikin also surprised many people last year with her dramatic body transformation. She shared the truth about her weight loss journey, revealing that it was a difficult process. She also mentioned that her husband had played a role in pressuring her to undergo the transformation.
