It is unfortunate that most people don’t appreciate their God given body. The effort they make to fit into the so called societal norm. People have often questioned the justification for undergoing surgery to alter appearance rather than to cure infirmity. According to Scientists Surgery is a medical treatment which involves cutting open a person’s body in order to repair or remove a diseased or damaged part. Many studies have failed to demonstrate the safety and long-term efficacy of certain cosmetic surgery procedures. There are additional risks in surgeries of long duration and in multiple surgeries that they fail to know that it does not last forever. Why spend so much on something that won’t last forever,? Why go through something that will cost you so much pains?

Come to think of it, people who saw the video are suppose to learn from her mistake but Nigerians youth will never learn from it.

Only God knows where they get their moneys from!. They all see this and yet turned deaf ears and blinded from seeing this..
