Ladies educate Oyemykke on reasons they lose weight

Social media critic Abisoye Olukoya Michael, popularly known as Oyemykke, voiced his concern about women losing weight, and some ladies reacted, enlightening him on their reasons for undergoing the journey.

Nollywood actress Iheme Nancy replied Oyemykke, saying looking fit is a lifestyle for her, and her health is more important than what a man feels about her shape.:

"I no go stop ooooo 😂😂😂😂😂make bumbum reduce oo naa my health Dey me more important on God.. been working out to keep fit for more than 10years now… it’s a lifestyle for me… my health, my wealth💯 who cares what the black man wants 😏 it should be, what I want not him….. if my bumbum is his problem then he should go get another woman while I workout for my health . T for thanks"

@_deyosii_ responded with ailments that disturbed heavy-weight women:

"I understand it looks like a “weight loss pandemic” only because women are getting more enlightened about their health. You can be a medium curvy shaped woman but have diabetes, PCOS, which has forced women to focus more on health than what a man likes. Most especially, it’s our body!!"

@callme_abimbola agreed that though some women lose weight for health reasons, some tend to over do it:

"It’s actually true. I feel some of us lose this weight cos of health reasons oo but sometimes it gets too much to the point that some women start looking older than their age.😢 And it’s not sxy.. I personally, I love being chubby but sometimes I am not proud of my tummy o 😂😂😂 afi ki Olorun sha nu wa ni 🙏🏽🤩"
