Nigerian Actor, Ime Bishop, Speaks Out Against the Rise of Plastic Surgery among Young Women
Renowned Nigerian actor, Ime Bishop, popularly known as the “Okon of Lagos,” has taken to social media to express his concern about the growing trend of plastic surgery among young women. He believes that altering one’s body goes against the Creator’s original design.
As a passionate advocate for self-acceptance, Bishop emphasized the importance of embracing one’s natural beauty, which he believes is a gift from God. He questioned the notion of individuals trying to play “project supervisor” to God’s creation, implying that people are attempting to perfect the perfect.
“We must respect and appreciate the unique features that make us human,” Bishop stressed. “God’s creation is a masterpiece, and we should not try to alter it to fit our own tastes or societal standards.” He acknowledged that plastic surgery is a personal choice, but he urged individuals to consider the potential risks and moral implications involved.
In a thought-provoking statement, Bishop poignantly expressed his concerns, saying, “God created us, and he submitted his work perfectly. But instead of leaving it that way, we’re continuously trying to edit, mark, and adjust. We’re making corrections to what God has already perfected.” He cautions that there may be unforeseen consequences if we continue to tamper with God’s handiwork.
Bishop’s words serve as a timely reminder to appreciate and accept our unique features, rather than chasing an unattainable ideal. His message encourages young women in particular to overcome societal pressure and embrace their natural beauty, rather than succumbing to the allure of unnecessary cosmetic procedures.
