Popular comedienne-turned-actress, Chioma Omeruah,aka Chigurl loves the way she looks. As a child she wasn’t very troublesome but she fought with her sister a lot. Today, she got a trophy for those fights and this trophy is seen on her face as a mark.
She talks about her fights “ It was during one of those fights that she scratched me and the scar never faded away. Anytime I am applying my make-up I see the mark and smile; that is why I cannot forget my sister.”

If there is something that has never left Chigurl, it is her size. She lived in America for 12 years and she faced a lot of pressure about her size and when she got back to Nigeria, the pressure was even more. “There are so many slim ladies here. Also I got dissed a lot on the internet especially about my size but I always tell them that they are late. Nigerians are so unforgiving and they are probably the best at insulting people in the world. It is our talent.”
She knows how to handle this pressure “To be honest, those insults actually get to me. What I have been doing lately is that when people insult me, I reply them without being rude. I try to stay away from insensitive people and whenever they make comments that I cannot ignore, I address it without being abusive with my words. Some people say that I am giving them five minutes of fame but I don’t think it makes sense to take time to look at my social media page, look at my picture, then make a negative comment. “
