Nkechi Blessing launches ‘big belle’ challenge, offers N1m cash prize

Actress Nkechi Blessing has turned recent criticism into a movement for body confidence by announcing a social media contest to celebrate women with big stomachs.

Nkechi Blessing became a trending topic after a leaked gym photo of her went viral, drawing harsh body-shaming remarks from critics and trolls online.

Rather than retreat, the actress decided to reclaim the narrative by championing body positivity.

In a post on Instagram, Nkechi unveiled the big belle challenge, promising a cash prize of ₦1 million to the participant with the largest stomach.

She explained that contestants should share pictures of their bellies, tag her, and use the hashtag #bigbellechallenge. The top three entries will be reposted before a winner is selected.

Her caption read in part:
“1 million naira to the winner 💃🏻 Big belle challenge is here ✌🏼 courtesy my Brother @proactive105mann … The person with the biggest belly takes it all ✌🏼”

Captioning the video, she wrote, “First Entry✌🏼 #bigbellechallenge 1 million naira to the biggest belly📌 @proactive105mann say him fit vex make am 2 million 🤣🤣 Post the video on your page and tag me👏🏻 using the hashtag #bigbellechallenge.”
