Having had enough of the unsolicited advise that fills her page everyday, Caroline Ekanem, has penned down a response for everyone of such persons.
Dear judgemental Nigerians, the last time I checked… I’m here to showcase my craft, my talent and my beauty to the world. That is what this platform is meant for. To motivate and inspire people in any little way that I can. To help as many curvy women as possible to embrace their beauty. Stop sending me your opinions on how you think I should live my life! Some of you aren’t even half as intelligent or hardworking as I am. If you haven’t met and have a proper conversation with me, you certainly don’t know the content I possess. Y’all just love to box people into a corner in a way they won’t be able to express themselves and live a happy life because they are afraid of what people would think or say. Soon you will realize that the same people who give opinions about how you should present yourself to the world won’t even be there for you when you need them to become what they think you should be. People just like to manipulate and regulate people’s lives to please themselves not that they care. If you think I am not responsible because of the content I choose to put out, then that’s your problem not mine. Those who love me will always love me and those who can’t love me, will never love me no matter how much I try to please them. If you must give opinion, be sure to add value to my bank account otherwise drop it. When You are stressed out, wrinkling out, no one is there to help or offer opinions to support… but the moment the smile comes up, oh no, don’t do this, do that, do it like this… Somehow! Live and let live…. #rants
