BBNaija’s Vee explains why people criticise other’s appearances
One of the female housemates of the 2020 Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality TV show, ‘Lockdown’ edition, Vee Iye has explained the importance of boy positivity and self acceptance.
The reality TV star in a post shared on her TikTok account on October 25, 2024, stated that people who criticise other people’s appearance despise themselves and put it onto others.
Vee also used the medium to urge others to embrace their natural selves because everyone else is taken and people should see nothing wrong with the way they look.
She said, “A lot of people hate the way they look, and they want to project that feeling onto you. Please don’t let them. I saw a post that Vicky James made on her Instagram. I need you to understand that there is nothing wrong with the way you look.”

The Nigerian TV star, who was born in Britain, also claimed that having confidence and making long-term changes to one’s appearance are not compatible.
Vee explained; “We are in an era where people want to change everything about themselves just because they don’t like it. And I genuinely feel like that is not normal. You are free to change your appearance, but I feel like we need to start being honest about that kind of lifestyle.
”You can’t say you are confident and then change everything about yourself. The reality of those things is that age will always defeat you. It’s his common knowledge.’’
