Tell us about yourself and where you are from?
My name is Bukky Miracle Enyioha, I’m from Imo state. Yes, i’m full igbo. I am that Igbo girl with the yoruba name lol. I was born in lagos so my parents gave me a yoruba name. I grew up in the french speaking countries of West Africa. Graduated from Central University College, Accra Ghana with a degree in Business Management. Im based in Accra and working with a roofing company in Ghana as a part time marketer. Im an aspiring plus size model weighing in at 120kg and 6.05 ft tall.
How do you feel being a plus size?
Being a plus size lady is the best. I’m very proud of myself…..i don’t see any reason why i shouldn’t be. I can do anything and carry myself the same way any slim lady can. There are things i can do that a lot of slim ladies can’t even try. I’m not trying to be boastful, i’m just very pleased with myself. A typical African woman is meant to be bodacious, her beauty comes with all that thighs, booty and tummy. A typical african man too likes his women well padded lol though everyone has got their preferences. Please don’t misquote me, i’m not saying slim ladies aren’t the true representation of an african woman, we are all beautiful in all shapes and sizes.
What are the challenges you are facing being a plus-size?
Hmmmm, challenges…. I don’t really think there are challenges to being a plus size woman, i personally dont have any but i think the most prominent issue with plus size women is self esteem and confidence. A lot of plus size women limit themselves so much because they feel they don’t fit into the size that the society thinks they should be so they tend to shy away from the world .A plus size lady with self esteem and confidence issues is susceptible to emotional breakdowns because they tend to attribute every bad thing to their weight. There are health issues that are popularly related to being plus size like hypertension, high blood pressure, diabetes, joint pains etc but i think its all a misconception because all these health issues i’ve mentioned are also suffered by slim people and all these issues can be solved with proper nutrition and exercise. It’s not about being slim or fat, its about being FIT, exercise is very essential to human health and good living. (When you take care of your body, your body will take care of you) The worst misconception i’ve heard is plus size ladies cant get pregnant. Pls that is not true. If you say plus size ladies can’t get pregnant, you are trying to tell me that all slim ladies give birth which is not true. There are slim ladies that are barren, its not a weight thing. Its just always adviseable for a plus size lady to loose weight so she can carry her baby with ease. Its not about being slim or fat, its about being fit.
If you are to change anything about yourself, what will it be?
Hmmm…..i want a flat tummy and that’s why i work out lol apart from that i wont change much about my body. Every experience in life leads us to a better tomorrow, wont change much about my life either.
What can you say about abuse and molestation?
Ladies, if you are in any relationship or even marriage and you are constantly being abused. Plssssss, that’s not love….pack up your bags today and walk out. Your life is worth much more. A man who truly loves you don’t need to lay a finger on you especially to my ladies who are still dating…..just know that anything you endure in courtship, you will end up enduring times seven in marriage. Know your worth especially my plus size ladies, don’t sit down and think to yourself that you have to die in that relationship because na that bobo wey see you. One man’s poison is another man’s meat…..the gift of God maketh rich and added NO SORROW. My ladies who are married and are being constantly abused by their husbands…….i believe in the institition of marriage and i stand strongly against divorce but if you are being constantly abused…..walk out of it…..your male children will watch your husband beat you up and grow up to do the same to their wives, your female children will watch your husband abuse you and think its ok to be a human punching bag.Your life too is always at risk. Abuse isn’t only physical, can be emotional too…..life is too short to be anything but happy.
Molestation is becoming a serious issue not only in Nigeria, but in the world. I really don’t get it, with all the sex workers at the disposal of these men…they still prefer to rape. Mothers should be very cautious with their female kids, advice them on the basic education of sex and it’s approach and warn them on these impending dangers. Young ladies, no be everywhere dem invite you….you go carry bag dey go.
Any message to the plus-size ladies?
I just want all the plus size ladies to know that they are beautiful regardless of your size. Confidence is key in every woman’s life. When you learn to carry yourself like a queen, people will start to treat you like a queen. People only make jest of a plus size woman who doesnt believe in herself and carries herself accordingly. Don’t be afraid to step out, dress up and go places. The only thing limiting you is your mind. Improve on yourself by hitting the gym, eating healthy food, have proper self hygiene. When you look good, you feel good. Treat yourself good. No one can lower your self esteem except you, thats why its called SELF ESTEEM. It’s how you see yourself. Don’t let anyone tell you any negative thing about your body. Most at times, people who are quick to point out the flaws in another’s body are often the ones who think very less of themselves. Also, sieze every opportunity to improve on yourself…emotionally, physically and mentally. My moral as a plus size woman is that every woman regardless her size should start living rather than existing.
