Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo has hit back at critics who mocked her following the completion of the second phase of her cosmetic surgery, saying she’s healthy, thriving and unapologetic about her choices.

 

In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, the mother of three said many people were unhappy that she “survived” the procedure and was doing well. Uche — who has been sharing updates about her makeover — made clear she is proud of her new look and will not be swayed by online negativity.

 

“E dey pan Witches say I survive my 2nd phase of mummy makeover and I’m thriving in good health,” she wrote, calling out those who celebrated what she described as other people’s misfortune. “You all will rot in the gutter you dug for me that I didn’t fall inside! Enemies of other people’s good lucks n Blessings. Face your miserable life and train your own kids well and keep them off Social media! You wan use me trend! Mtcheeeew!”

 

Uche also defended her promotional posts about the hospital that handled the procedure, dismissing complaints about her endorsement deals. “I’m minding the business that feeds me oo and promoting the best hospital…If you can get brand deals yourself carry am enter house, don’t promote the brand and announce how good they are ooo,” she wrote, adding a boastful note about her new figure: “Everybody wan cry because GODDESS new body is banging already! Unah go Shed blood and water, this is just the beginning.”

 

The actress’s forceful response underscores a growing trend of Nigerian celebrities using social media to both document cosmetic procedures and confront public scrutiny. Uche’s message mixes defiance and gratitude — grateful for her health and the medical team, and unapologetic about leveraging her profile for brand partnerships.

 

As the conversation around cosmetic surgery and celebrity endorsements continues in Nollywood and on social media, Uche Ogbodo’s post is likely to prompt further debate about privacy, body autonomy, and the sometimes harsh spotlight on public figures who choose to change their appearance.
