Banke has pioneered a whole industry within the beauty sector. With over 1 million followers on IG, she is well-positioned as a cultural icon and major spokesperson for a generation of Nigerian women.
So when I started getting worried about what is looking like a pandemic-the rush for body augmentation by our women and its attendant side effects of disfiguration and loss of life, I thought about having a session on the issue.
The idea is to better understand the issue of body confidence that leads to the need to augment artificially.
What drives this, how do you get it safely, what are the side effects, and what are the societal pressures that lead to it?
My emphasis will be more on the confidence and body image issues that make a woman sit under a make-up artist’s chair for 6 hours to attend only a 30-minute event.
What would make a woman push up her breasts, add more fat to her buttocks, and suck out excess tummy?
Despite the risks and celebrated deaths, more and more of our women are jumping in and out. In fact, on a recent flight from Turkey, 50% of passengers were Nigerian ladies coming back from cosmetic surgery.
Banke is beautiful, and I recently met her at the creative sub-committee of the Nigerian British Chamber of Commerce meeting.
She was brilliant at that meeting and came across as a very friendly and sweet personality.
We hit it off and started talking, and I mentioned the issue of cosmetic surgery.
As expected, she had her own position as a leader in the space and gave a very inciteful analysis of the situation.
I didn’t feel I should listen alone and invited her to our Zoom session, which she gratefully accepted.
So tonight at 9pm, we will be discussing breasts and butts in a very revealing and inspiring session.
She has also accepted to be on a panel that has leading actress Elvina Ibru, media personality Azuka Ogujiuba and other iconic female socio-cultural leaders to discuss women’s issues with The Duke as the only man in a room of 70 women at The Happiness Centre the first week of September 2023.
This evening promises to be very educational and entertaining.
