Nollywood star IK Ogbonna recently shared his thoughts on the importance of maintaining proper hygiene, emphasizing its impact on health, confidence, and overall well-being.
Through his Instagram story, Ogbonna highlighted key hygiene practices, such as using deodorants, paying attention to oral care, and ensuring intimate areas are properly cleaned. He also touched on the topic of skin care, encouraging people to prioritize its health over bleaching.
The actor didn’t mince words as he called for greater attention to cleanliness. “This isn’t to insult anyone, but we need to talk about hygiene,” he wrote. “If you’re not using deodorant, chances are you might smell—and you may not even realize it. Let’s do better! Ladies, perfume isn’t enough. Use wipes to stay fresh—no shortcuts.
“Body spray or deodorant is a must for everyone. Oral hygiene matters too—brush your teeth properly and don’t forget your tongue. It’s part of your mouth, so don’t leave it out.”
Ogbonna also addressed misconceptions about cleanliness after using the restroom. “Tissue alone doesn’t cut it; let’s keep it thorough. Cleanliness isn’t overrated!”
For those uncertain about their hygiene, he offered some practical advice. “If you’re not sure how you smell, ask someone close to you. It’s better to hear the truth from family or friends than to face embarrassment in public.”
He ended with a lighthearted but firm reminder that this advice extends to everyone, including domestic staff and drivers. “It’s a serious matter, folks—let’s keep it fresh!”
Ogbonna’s candid message is a reminder that good hygiene is a basic yet essential aspect of self-care.
