Nollywood actress and comedienne Adeyela Adebola, popularly known as Lizzy Jay, has issued a strong message to slim women, urging them not to succumb to societal pressure or body-shaming.

Taking to her Instagram page, the comic movie star noted the increasing trend of people using weight-loss medications such as Monjaro and Ozempic, as well as consuming various slimming mixtures, just to achieve a slimmer physique.

Addressing women who are often labeled as “dry” or “too slim,” Lizzy Jay encouraged them to embrace their natural body shape and resist any form of bullying.

“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.
