WEIGHT.... LOSE OR GAIN?

What is it about being big bodied that has suddenly gone out of fashion? Why have six packs and bony women suddenly become fashionable?
Back in the days, the full bodied African Woman was King or is it Queen? When women chasing was concerned I even learnt certain parts of Nigeria, being skinny was so unhealthy and ungodly that women were sent to fattening rooms before they were married out so that the new husbands will know that the bride is from a family that took care of her needs.
Where have all the full bodied Orobo women gone, why has it suddenly become fashionable to spend the whole day in a gym suffering and sweating blood all in the name of being skinny and having the European slim look?
I remember the movie ``PHAT GIRLS’’ when the African doctor (I have forgotten now) told MONIQUE that in Africa Big women are in serious demand.
In those days, men wanted to hug a woman and know that they had SOMETHING to hold not all the Oyinbo looking black skeletons that our women have now become. For goodness sake, what is wrong with being BIG BODIED? I believe this is another way of Oyinbo recolonisation’’ and brainwashing.
All the best adverts on TV have slim girls, every product is advertised by slim women and suddenly, ``Thin’’ is beautiful ``Fat ‘’ is ugly. The same way ``White’’ is good and everything ``Black’’ is supposed to be bad... remember blackmail, black book, black day, black sheep of the family and in fact the devil is black. Haba.
At a point, our women were so taken in these white supremacist theories that they all wanted to be white, so they bleached and even some shameless men joined them in this ungodly act. Then came an age of our Local hairdos not being good enough. I am talking about ``Shuku’’, ``Patewo’’, ``All  back and base’’, Binta my Daughter’’, Aladi Mole’’, ``Shuku Ologede’’ and the likes  that the Queen of Sheba had on when Solomon saw her and he went weak at the knees and had to marry this African beauty.
Our women then started frying her hair in the name of Jerry Curls, under the dryer and reducing their brain power because of the new ``Perming plus washing and setting’’. Now the craze has gone further it is human hair. I am sure that soon our women will have Oyinbo women chasing them in their sleep for their hair to be returned, not to talk of horses, HABA!
What is it about Africa and our culture that is so unattractive too us? Why must we totally discard our tradition because of some alien culture craze? The way God created Africans, we are meant to be big, yours truly had tried everything to lose weight but it just keeps popping back that means my DNA must have been configured by the master architect GOD; to be like that.
White people because of their diet, location and configuration are not meant to be fat. There is a difference between be obese and fat, obesity is carelessness while fat is natural there is also a point of being slim that is carelessness it is called Anorexia, Sisters eat!
If that guy is gonna love you, he is gonna love you. It has nothing to do with your size; it has more to do with the brain and character. I think in the spirit of natural rebranding, Dora Akunyili must stand firm and show us the true picture of the Nigerian woman. Is she full bodied or the Anorexic Lepa. God is not wicked enough to give you fat and expect you to spend all your time and money losing it.
Do not get me wrong stay in shape but do not kill yourself over the taunts of people who tell you, you are FAT. You are not; you are just the way the Nigerian woman or man was created to be.
I know I am going to get  a lot of flack over this but the truth of it is, I know somebody out there is going through the ``You should lose some weight taunts,’’ Next time a Lepa disturbs you with that, tell him or her ``Get some weight... get a life’’
Even though I am guilty of not being attracted to orobos, I know there are men out there who would die for them.... and I have a long list. Ladies you can contact me. Bye for now.
