Nollywood Actor, IK Ogbonna, has taken to social media to advocate for better personal hygiene among Nigerians, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and awareness of body odor. The actor expressed his concern over the increasing number of individuals who might be unknowingly emitting unpleasant smells due to poor hygiene practices.
Through his Instagram story, IK Ogbonna raised the issue of people neglecting the use of deodorants, a key product in maintaining fresh body odor. He pointed out that many people may not realize that without deodorants, there is a high likelihood they are smelling without even being aware of it.
“If you’re not using deodorant, there’s a very high chance you’re smelling and may not even be aware of it,” the actor warned his followers. He further emphasized the need for awareness of personal scent, advising individuals to be more mindful of their overall cleanliness.
IK also turned his focus to oral hygiene, stressing the importance of taking care of the mouth, including the tongue, which he highlighted as often neglected in daily hygiene routines. He called for Nigerians to be more conscious of their oral health to prevent any bad breath issues.
“If you’re unsure how you smell, ask your close friends or family. It’s better to hear the truth from them than to embarrass yourself outside,” IK Ogbonna said, showing his concern for both personal and social well-being. He urged individuals to take the necessary steps to maintain fresh hygiene in order to avoid any awkward or embarrassing situations.
The actor further pointed out that hygiene should not be limited to personal care alone, but should extend to those around us as well. He also mentioned that this advice applies to domestic staff and drivers, emphasizing the importance of hygiene in all settings.
“As much as this might make you laugh, it’s a serious matter, let’s keep it fresh,” IK Ogbonna concluded his message, underlining that the conversation about personal hygiene is a crucial one that should not be taken lightly.
