25-year-old Twin sisters, Dolly and Daisy Simpson, have revealed they’ll be undergoing a surgery to have matching designer vaginas.
The duo who have spent over £140k on surgery in an effort to look very identical in a recent interview revealed they want matching designer genitals.
The sisters in company of their mum appeared on ‘This Morning’ on Monday, October 4th to discuss their decision to go under-the-knife for matching private part.
The show host, Phillip Scofield asked, “So you want to make yourselves look identical but you both have very different faces.”
In response Daisy noted that her face was a bit rounder but as been able to make herself look like her sister through surgery.
“You can’t change bone structure can you. But we try our best with what we can do”, she said.
“And when we go to the surgeon, we do ask for the same look and to try to get the same result”, Dolly added.
Speaking on how their surgery journey began with lip fillers at 18, Daisy said, “Straight away we did like how our lips looked when they were fuller and we did think, ‘What else can we get next?’ ‘We realized it was quite easy to get things done.”
Daisy added, “Dolly has had a labiaplasty and I actually haven’t yet.’ Dolly responded: ‘Daisy is booked in but she hasn’t been able to go yet because of Covid-restrictions.”
Show presenter, Philip was surprised by the suggestion and asked, “Why did you need to look alike”.
Daisy said, “We don’t need to look alike, it’s just we both have that insecurity.”
Dolly said it was about ‘becoming their ideal selves’, while Daisy added, “We both didn’t feel confident so getting things together, you get that support as well.”
She continued, “We do want to look similar, and we want the same surgeons, but she’s a little more extreme than me. I don’t want to look exactly the same as her.”
Meanwhile, their mother Christina admitted to Holly and Phil that the situation was ‘very difficult.’
She said, “I obviously believed they were beautiful before they had these procedures. I do believe there have been various things that have triggered this off. They got bullied at school because they were twins and dressed alike. They didn’t feel too good about themselves. Social media has a big impact.”
“When it came to going abroad, like Dolly did for her labiaplasty, I didn’t agree with that. As a parent, you just want your children to be happy and healthy at the end of the day and they weren’t happy before hand, and they are much happier now. But I do have concerns if they pursue further procedures. I’ve told them I don’t want them to get BBL. I’m against that. It’s like you said about the dangers of doing that. It’s like, is it worth it? And at what point do you stop.” Their mum added.
A Nigerian lady, who identifies herself as “Buhari’s Prodigal Daughter”, has taken to Twitter to opine that Nigeria’s economy is not as bad as people make it seem.

The lady with Twitter handle @johnnysleek also slammed Nigerians for criticizing the increase in prices of goods but enjoy the profits from land appreciation.

“London is selling fuel at £3 (N1800) per litre. See our economy isn’t that bad ooo, I de eat mama put of #500 which is $1, now what can $1 buy u abroad???
U bought a land in 1999 @ d rate of 200,000 sold 25million in 2021 & became a millionaire. But u bought noodles sold #400 in 1999 at 5,000 in 2021 & u’re asking how did we get here?

Popular crossdresser, James Brown and his friend, Tobi The Creator, have been accused of stealing from a lady at Cubana Club.
In a video shared online by one “Excess”, he called out the duo alongside another friend whose name wasn’t mention and alleged that they stole money from a lady named “Grace” on Monday night, October 4.
He went on to plead with them to kindly return the stolen money before he takes action against them. The social media user said he came “online to beg them to return the money because he loves begging before ‘misbehaving”.
Meanwhile, James Brown and his friend are yet to react to the allegation. However, from their Instastory highlights, the duo attended the birthday party of one King_westt but the location of the event was not disclosed so it is unclear if they were at Cubana Club last night as alleged by “Excess”.

Popular Nigerian Singer, Brymo, recently took to his social media page to call our veteran, 2Face Idibia.
Brymo revealed that some years ago, he was attacked by some boys on behalf of 2face Idibia who’d semingly accused him of sleeping with his wife.
Read his tweets below:
In the very recent past, a man falsely accused me of sleeping with his wife.. and I’ve waited in angst, and the words were never taken back still, efforts were consistently made to prove I did it still.. and my soul has known no lasting peace ever since
Mr Innocent Idibia had, at an AFRIMA press conference in 2015/16 or thereabout, walked into the room, sat beside me and elbowed me in a supposed greeting, as much as 4-5 times, repeatedly, while looking away, saying “BrymO, BrymO…..” and we exchanged no other words that day!.
Now, in 2012 I had the opportunity to tour the US with his company… a most appreciated opportunity, as he was by far my most respected act around… he was my first reference at everything, and boy! Did I look up to him!!!
Fast forward to a few years ago, he approached for a feature.. specifically asking me to get on a track with him.. I was initially reluctant to consider it, because I still didn’t know why he did what he did at the press conference years before.. well, I got persuaded to meet!!
I had, the week before or so shared the company of his wife, a female friend of theirs and my partner’s, and my partner herself.. and within minutes she, Mrs Idibia had asked what the future held for my career.. a question I considered a sleek attack. My answer was my future!!
I proceeded to respond that I’ll be Africa’s finest act alive, and that I’ll reign for a decade .. and I knew I had shot back nicely!!..
Next meet had Mr Idibia himself present, and he made a point of referencing another artiste, who in the past had claimed king at his expense. Letting me know what my fate might be if I kept eyeing “his Throne” .. weeks later I saw the other act bowing to him repeatedly on stage!
Weeks later I was lured into being hosted by a friend I had just met.. and after spending days getting high and philandering, I was asked if I would love to be a part of an organization, of which I responded “well, I might want to, except I do not subscribe to being battered”.
Minutes later my host said he was walking down to another guest house, where some guy has messed up and must be punished.. told me to come but didn’t wait for me.. well, I was the guy it turned out .. when I arrived at the gate on the street, I was asked to show id
I tried to, truly, forcefully open the gate, stating that I was a guest of the hotel and didn’t need id.. four boys bursted through the gates and launched an offense at me.. I fought back to f course.. got a black eye too!!
Later I found out from an undisclosed source that Mr Idibia was responsible for the attack .. yet I couldn’t decide if it was for supposedly bedding his Mrs or for claiming the spot of the greatest artiste alive!!
I would later ask him directly of course.. and he denied flat.. then minutes later said, as the source also mentioned .. that some ppl said I was saying things about him, and finished by saying ppl just talk .. !!!.. and that the boys who attacked me called him “egbon”.
on that meet with him, my partner had asked me a question I had lied about before, and I had confessed about the girl..and when asked about still seeing his baby mama, he said he wasn’t seeing her anymore.. and the wife stormed off not believing it..”na brymo fault” he said.
Up until a few weeks ago, I have found myself being forcefully shoved to take on his life’s image.. to make his mistakes and experience his pains..Mr Idibia has truly gone and tinkered with my life for months .. upon months
It may be prudent of him, to desist from interactions with things and ppl that are close to me, in my domestic spaces, and in the field of survival.. I have carried these emotions for many months, and I won’t rush to this for publicity .. it is not funny .. this is madness!!.
On Monday the 4th of October WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram app became inaccessible for some users around the world.
The downtime shook the entire social media and it got a lot of people fearing the worst.

My heart skipped for a while especially for the fate of @reginadanielsfashion

“I AM NOT AFRAID TO SPEAK ANYMORE!
Suffering different forms of violence throughout a relationship and being silent. Forgive, accept, endure, and fall in love again, think that everything will be better …
To be afraid to speak, to be afraid of the reaction of people. Be afraid of threats. Be afraid to go out. Being afraid of hurting someone and their career, Being afraid of dying if you speak up.
The blow I received was the LAST! It was TOO MUCH.
And this is the one that allowed me to wake up and get out of this grip.
My life doesn’t end there. My life doesn’t stop at marriage I have so much talent, so many other much more positive and ambitious things to share with you. NEVER AGAIN .
I do NOT encourage harassment, I do NOT encourage hatred. So don’t try to get revenge for me. I don’t need revenge, I need to break free. Leave that person. Justice and divine justice will do their job. God is righteous, God is great. I do not worry .
For all women in this kind of situation even if in your opinion it is not serious and you are told that marriage is not easy & that you have to endure! At the first sign of violence leave !!!!!
I should have left sooner!
Don’t wait for the fatal blow. GO !!!!
And for you my ex-fiancé I would like to say THANK YOU for honoring me in public I also say GOODBYE and FOREVER in public because If I stay, I die.”
