Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing has questioned the pressure to associate with self-acclaimed “Lagos big girls” and constantly display one’s lifestyle on social media.
The actress shared her thoughts in a post on her Instagram page amid the ongoing public feud between socialites Diiadem Adeola and Dabota Lawson.
Nkechi said she has never been interested in identifying with the “big girl” lifestyle, adding that she is more concerned about having her own space, eating well and being able to travel.
She also questioned the belief that people who do not display their lifestyle online are financially struggling, saying she is comfortable with her own lifestyle and does not feel the need to prove her financial status on social media.
Writing in pidgin English, she said, “Na una want be friends with self acclaimed Lagos big girls by force. People wey be say na online aesthetic want wound them, the moment you go close, you go too pity them,” Nkechi wrote.
“Me, I be Yankee broke girl. I no kuku identify with anything big girl, make I sha dey see food chop and ticket money to fly round d world… who get pass me no concern me,” she added.
Nkechi further said she prefers to maintain her privacy but would not hesitate to handle major financial responsibilities when necessary.
“The pressure to belong to the so called Lagos big girls can never be for someone like me that likes my space, but when matter of 100m to 200m sup we go chest am without flinching…. Cus we no dey post lifestyle dem go call us broke,” she said.
