Shocking Revelation from OAP Nedu Sparks Online Debate
Popular Nigerian On-Air Personality Nedu has stirred significant controversy with a startling claim about body image trends among young women in Lagos. During a recent radio broadcast, the media personality alleged that some slim girls in the city are resorting to extreme measures to gain weight.
The Alleged Weight Gain Method
Nedu specifically claimed that he has heard about a disturbing pattern where intentionally slim girls become pregnant solely to acquire pregnancy weight. According to his on-air statements, these individuals allegedly terminate the pregnancy after achieving their desired weight gain. The OAP used Lagos as his primary example, stating "There is this trend in Nigeria now. I stay in Lagos so let me use Lagos. Some very slim girls, I have heard, when they want to add some weight, what they do is they get pregnant, once they gather the pregnancy weight, they will now terminate the pregnancy".
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
The comments, made on November 16, 2025, have generated widespread discussion across social media platforms. Online reactions have been sharply divided, with some users expressing belief and shock at the alleged trend, while many others have questioned the validity of Nedu's claims. The controversy gained additional traction when shared by popular blog Linda Ikeji, further amplifying the discussion among Nigerian netizens.
The video of Nedu making these statements continues to circulate online, prompting important conversations about body image pressures, mental health, and the extreme lengths some individuals might consider to meet societal beauty standards in contemporary Nigerian society.
