However, the TikTok user, @ameboplug, strongly condemned the practice and disagreed with comparisons some people had made between undergoing cosmetic surgery and the process of childbirth.
According to her, the two situations are completely different and should not be grouped together.
She said:
“Giving birth and BBL, you people should stop this comparison. Do you know what it means to bring a life to this world? People have waited years before giving birth and at the end of the day, they will give birth to that child and they will pass on. And you want to compare it with someone that says ‘God, see how you create me now, ehn?’ You are even questioning.”
Standing against BBL surgery, the lady in the viral video listed many women who had achieved success without undergoing body enhancement procedures. She mentioned figures such as Folorunsho Alakija and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as examples of women who built successful careers without doing BBL.

She added:
“Look at your role models. Kim Kardashian and the likes, the mother that ‘mothered’ all of you mothers that started all… they’ve started removing it. All of them have removed it finished.”

Nmesoma stated:
“The comparison isn’t BBL vs childbirth. The comparison is society’s reaction to risk. One death from surgery leads to “women should stop,” but thousands of childbirth deaths never lead to women should stop getting pregnant. That’s the point.”

“I don tire for this BBL matter ooo,me wey flat I die?”
