Former Big Brother Naija star Vee has always been very expressive and quite funny with the way she expresses herself, whether she’s making comments to fellow housemates in the Big Brother house, clapping back at trolls, or simply sharing her thoughts on anything and everything. In a recent post on X, the Big Brother alum turned her attention to Lagos big girls who are getting Botox in Lagos and using fillers. She advised them to “put down the needles,” saying the results are starting to look a bit too much.
“These fillers have got Lagos girls looking like Handsome Squidward. It’s enough queens. Put the needle down”

From facials to threading and of course injectables like Botox and fillers, there are more cosmetic options now than ever before.

Fans React to the Filler Trend Among Lagos Big Girls
Surprisingly, many people agree with Vee’s view on the growing obsession with cosmetic procedures among Lagos big girls. Some even pointed out that it’s not just fillers, but other enhancements like BBLs (Brazilian Butt Lifts) that are becoming overdone.

“Vee is not lying. Put the needle down. It’s worse when you live or travel abroad. Fillers have ruined so many faces around the world.”
“Even fashion designers all have the same shape. Na only me get big tummy, the rest dem born them with flat tummy…”
“It’s funny how some people had these things naturally but hated it. Now people pay to have it.”
“The big pomo lips people used to make jest of before in secondary school, now girls are paying heavily to get…”
