The Bachelor of Science degree holder in Health Administration was recently interviewed by Encomium magazine and she explained many things varying from her view about bleaching, reasons why she exposes her cleavage and many more!
Read below the excerpts from the interview:
When asked why she flashes the boobs even though they are not big, Emma said;
It’s not that I flaunt them but part of your selling point as a female artist is your body, your voice, your look, your hair, everything. Chidinma’s lack of hair is her selling point, you understand. Each part of you is your selling point”.
She further commented on why she flaunts the boobs even when they are not big, saying:
“Its confidence, you understand. Somebody like Toolz for example, her selling point is her body. Before her voice, it’s her body. As a woman, her own packaging is always different.
have grown up to be comfortable with the way the skin is
because I have accepted the fact that I can’t change it, I have to
accept the way I am. Men don’t look at me, the women look at women. If I
go out with or without makeup, a man will not notice.But if I go out
and I see a woman, she will say Emma Nyra you are looking different from
how I see you on TV. She would comment on everything to my eyebrow but a
man won’t look that deep unless he is into fashion and everything. I
have learnt to accept myself. If you are not confident about yourself,
people won’t buy your brand”.
On her opinion on bleaching, Emma said;
“I grew up with white people and I noticed that white people
tan. They wanted to look like me whereas I wanted to look like them
while growing up because I wanted to belong. This bleaching thing,
Indians do it too, even Americans do it too. Its been so bad lately
because the society’s perception of beauty has to do with it. The
lighter the better, whereas, in Europe, the darker the better. Dark
hair, dark skin, its a kind of class. That’s how they do their own class
system.
Our own is just, we have grown up watching aunties bleach. When
I fist came to Nigeria, I went to a store and I couldn’t find a regular
cream, all I saw was whitening. I went to Dubai, the same thing.
Indians and Arabs, they bleach. I am more concerned with clear skin, not
light or dark or whatever because I grew up seeing girls wanting to be
dark. So it didn’t affect me that way. I don’t support bleaching, I
don’t think it’s right.
Some people wear padded bra, some where padded bum. As a woman,
you can choose whatever you want. You can change your nose, your
breast, anything. But as for bleaching, because of the long term effect,
I don’t think it’s good for you“
