In a recent chat with Encomium magazine, singer,
Emma Nyra disclosed the reason she always reveals her
boobs in videos and at events.
“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
said.
She was further asked why she finds it interesting to
show it off even when they are not sizable, she added:
“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. I 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” she added.
When asked what her standing was as regards
bleaching the skin, Emma explained thus;
“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. It’s 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, it’s 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 first 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 its right. Some
people wear padded bra, some wear 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”
