BBNaija Uriel talks about waist trainers

Ghanain actress Yvonne Nelson, however, got Uriel talking when she said waist trainers and slimming teas cannot give people the body they want.

Reacting to the actress' post, Uriel said waist trainers have been around since the 1800s which is why there is a huge market for it.
