Renowned TV presenter and host, IK Osakioduwa, made a memorable impact at the African Magic Viewers Choice Award (AMVCA) on Saturday night, May 20, with his comical suggestion that cosmetic surgeons should be acknowledged in next year’s awards.
His unexpected proposal not only left the audience in stitches but also highlighted the significant role played by cosmetic surgeons in enhancing the beauty of actors and actresses within the entertainment industry.
In his characteristic playful manner, Osakioduwa humorously emphasized that cosmetic surgeons should have their own category to recognize the remarkable work they do.
He highlighted the high cost and skill involved in cosmetic surgery procedures and expressed the need to appreciate the impact they have on the aesthetics of the entertainment industry.
The TV presenter jokingly singled out his colleague, Toke Makinwa, a well-known media personality who has openly undergone cosmetic surgery in the past, for affirmation.
Turning to her, he asked, “Toke, am I lying?” This witty remark elicited waves of laughter from the audience.
Osakioduwa also highlighted the evolving cost of cosmetic surgery, comparing the exorbitant prices of the past to the more affordable rates now available in Nigeria.
He humorously remarked that in the past, the cost could be as high as forty thousand dollars, emphasizing the significant changes in the industry over the years.
While IK Osakioduwa’s comic proposal and playful jabs at Toke Makinwa brought laughter to the audience, it also shed light on the influence of cosmetic surgery within the entertainment industry.
His humorous moment served as a reflection on the evolving standards of beauty and the role that cosmetic surgery plays in meeting those standards.
As an iconic TV host, IK Osakioduwa’s humor resonated with his audience during the AMVCA night.
His light-hearted suggestion to include a category for cosmetic surgeons in future awards not only provided laughter but also sparked a conversation about the evolving nature of beauty in the entertainment industry.
It remains to be seen whether his joke might prompt serious consideration for such a category in future awards.
