Nollywood’s Jigan Babaoja Shares How He Overcame Body Shaming with Self-Love”
Nigerian Actor Abimbola Kazeem popularly known as Jigan Babaoja reveals how he went through body shaming criticism and overcame it.
During a recent interview, the actor shared that with his physical disability, he grew up with a strong mindset. This has helped him shape his mentality to overcome negative criticism about him.
“What happened is I have taken these things off my mind. I have taken it off my mind since I was eight years old. I do not know if I have an injury on my leg. The only time I know I am living with disability is when I look into the mirror.”
“My advice to people like me is that they should observe my life. Before you abuse me, I would have abused myself. There is nothing anyone can say to me that would pain me. They should accept that that is how God does his thing.”
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.

While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.

“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
