The “Figure 8” Ideal: If you ask the average Nigerian man to describe his perfect woman physically, the immediate answer will almost invariably be the “Figure 8” or “Coca-Cola bottle” shape. This ideal represents a perfect harmony where the bust and the hips/buttocks are equally pronounced, separated by a visibly tiny waist. It is the gold standard of Nigerian beauty, heavily promoted in Nollywood movies and music videos, representing the ultimate physical aspiration for women and the ultimate fantasy for men.
