awww thats sweet...but na true na.......every woman is beautiful in her own way and specially from inside.....some of the ladies look good........nice one Ada.
Am a plus size big and beautiful woman and I love what u are doing and wish I could be part of it,however,Adaora u were not this big b4,pls try and loose some weight,ur tummy wasn't that big,u looked like a uk size 16 b4 and I admired u greatly,now u look size 20,22,please darling,go back to a 16,u don't hv to be big for ur clothing line to thrive,we will always buy,some of us (plus size people)have money to spend on clothes,so u will hv customers,but pls pls and pls,go Bk to ur size 16.thanks
Still wondering why the Ibru daughters with all their money haven't gone for a gastric bypass surgery,hmmmmmm,abet oh,una be time bomb,heart attack is real ohhh.
Adaora u for at least wear body magic na in dat Lycra haba...,am a size 20 but if u see me,no folds at all,I wear good bras andgirdles,ur outward appearance matters,it's all about packaging...I'm fully in support of ur clothing line,kudos.
One would think the dresses/tops will aim @ covering up love handles and fitting the plus sized perfectly.......
Nice Concept
I am SORRY but BIG is unhealthy .... Let not promote it , instead work hard to lose weight . Big and bold comes with too much health issues.
who says big is not beautiful :)...as long as no b obesity!
Na real plus size...good work dearie,@least big pple will c were to buy luvly cloths,bt seriously,adaora has rily put on weight,nt so gud
Great.
ANON.. 12.50.. I CLDNT AGREE MORE,IT HAS NOTHIN TO DO WITH BEING A TRUE CURVY AFRICAN WOMAN.. THAT IS JUST BEING FAT, AND FAT IS VERY UNHEALTHY.. C'MON NOW
Its a good idea! LOL @ anonymous 12:50, some women find it hard to loose weight.....reasons that I have observed when I travelled to Naija is that they eat too much! Even children are being over fed and their mothers dont care when they are obese! I am a slim woman and a mother of three for that matter, I exercise reguarly to keep fit because I like to stay healthy, and I intend to raise my children to eat in moderation and healthly which unfortunatley parents dont promote in Naija!
girls stop deceiving yourselves and loose some weight......u guyz are too fat abeg
There is overweight (big) and there's obese and then there is dangerously obese (where the Ibru sisters) dwell. We just have to face the reality of the health implication of all this weight.
Every woman is beautiful, no arguments there. Ain't no girl finer than Elvina in my book. But, it's not about beauty but about the dire health implications of carrying around so much body weight. Obesity and obesity related diseases is leading cause of death in America today. It shortens lifespan.
When one is size 14, 16, 18, we can say ... You are overweight, watch it! But when one is 22,24, 28, 30. Then, the person ought to get a wake-up call instead of an ego massage.
When I was growing up we had so many obese women in our community. Guess what, none of those women are around today. Many were cut off in their prime (late 40s and 50s) due to obesity related illnesses like diabetes, HBP, hip and bone issues, etc. There are NO OLD FAT PEOPLE.
Wake up girls. Forget people who say you are not beautiful. They are fools, no doubt. It's not about beauty, it's about your health, your life. Dropping a pound or two or even a score, safely, and naturally, over a period of time is never bad idea.
NB: For the record, I have hovered around size 16-20 most of my adult life.

Another excuse not to lose weight, but I will compliment her effort.
The person who raised apoint on love handles very true,it should b made to fit dplussize woman ,and yeah I am a plus size doctor,we all should be aware of d danger of carrying so much weight around...I beg the Ibru sisters to please consider weight loss surgery aka gastric bypass,cheers.
Ahh finally someone educative ! U fatties should lose weight!!! Ur puTting ur life at risk!!! Okay let us all watch their life span! And see who makes it to 65 !
LOOOL tell them! Lazzy gits
Ahh finally someone educative ! U fatties should lose weight!!! Ur puTting ur life at risk!!! Okay let us all watch their life span! And see who makes it to 65 !
Don't mistake body confidence for laziness to lose weight.
By the way, the Ibru sisters are past the weight loss route. Why they have not gone for gastric bypass beats me. Meanwhile they all over down eating junk and drinking booze like no man business. I love their confidence but heart condition no dey respect confidence o!
even with all my love for curvy women, i know that this one is unhealthy. these days that even slim people are dropping dead suddenly why would folks this big not make a conscious effort to lose weight?
size 18,20,22 and above are sins in the sight of God and man.
I wish the ibru girls can loose some weight, they are so darn pretty esp the one with the curly fro, she darn cute and curvy and i know she'd be a knock out if she just shed some. She might just surfer a heart attack soon if she don't.
So Anty May after writing that long speech, you are fat as well. I think its safe to say youre a hypocrite lol shame on you. The only reason why Nigerian women are fat is because Nigerian men like it so we should go after the men cause these hefty babes need a reality check
i think this is quite laudable and should be greatly encouraged. And the earlier women start feeling comfortable in their skin no matter what size they are the better. Beauty like Ada rightly said is from within and we should quit copying the oyinbo size zero mentality. i like my woman with big round protruding booty and voluptuous which is the natural make of an african woman.
Nice one

Orobo Toh Bad O! Wei Beauty comes from within. Just deceiving ya selves. Mtscheww. Better maintain a good diet and stop trying to make yourselves feel better joor
Yes beauty is from within - But health is beauty, you know.Sure you will say Health is not everything....But know that without health, everything is nothing.Ladies,be health,stay healthy and loose weight.Nobody is saying that you should be size zero,but you really need to cut on the junks and carbs that you eat each day and embrace a healthy lifestyle.
You're all obese. I'm not thin, my tummy isn't flat, I wear size 8 and I have to constantly watch it. Not only are u rich, ur in d entertainment industry, why are you living an unhealthy lifestyle?
Gud job Adaora Ukoh. But instead of promoting plus size clothing, why not be an advocate for loosing weight? Especially if you that big. I personally blieve fat does not mean unhealthy but none of yall look healthy. Even Monique who spent yrs advocating for "big and beautiful" is currently working her butt in the gym cos its detrimental to her health.
But seriously, d gals look beautiful.. But wait..it no longer about being beautiful on the inside/outside, it about your health. Till today i still dey find fat fulani woman i never see...
BUT PPLE ABEG WHICH ONE IS EASY-TO ADD OR TO LOSE WEIGHT, BEING TRYING TO ADD WEIGHT SINCE I LOST WEIGHT BUT MEN ITS NO FUNNY...TIPS PLS
We don't need anymore Plus-size concepts, we need exercising concepts, treadmill concepts, sit up concepts, push up concepts etc.
A true curvy woman is a true curvy woman. An obese woman is not curvy, she just has folds of fat. Because people are too lazy to change, we embrace it instead. As a 'curvy woman' who has lost all her folds to reveal real curves, a beg make una go purchase gym membership jare.
HEALTH HEALTH HEALTH ALERT!!!!!...OBESITY SHOULD NOT BE CELEBRATED..IT IS UNCOMFORTABLE, UNHEALTHY AND COMES WITH A MYRIAD OF PROBLEMS...LOOK AT ADORA SHE HAS NOT EVEN HAD KIDS AND SHE IS THIS BIG...WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN SHE HITS HER 40'S I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS FAKE ACCEPTANCE OF BEING OVERWEIGHT IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH PERIOD!!!!
Interesting I can see Lynn from that glo music show and her friend mope( actually her senior sister was in Return of Jenifa 3) the big girl . Adora , should I say thanks or wot.
They should all go and loose weight abeg! I was a size 14 once and was living in complete denial. I would antagonize anybody that said something bad about my weight. As far as I was concerned, there were people way bigger than me, so it wasn't like I was the biggest person around. I had my wake up call the day I went shopping in France for a dress for a friend's wedding and couldn't get any size 14 dress. Simply cos most french people are petite and most designers there do not make dresses for sizes above 10 and 12. I had to make do with a dress I didn't like and I was uncomfortable through out the wedding and I cried. The next day, I started calorie counting. I made sure I ate less than 900 calories a day (my body needs about 1870 based on my height,weight and age). Well, that was 2 years ago. Now, I wear size 8 and I have a washboard tummy. I do most of the things I love but couldn't do before. I wear bikini to the beach and I enter shops now fully confident that I will see something my size. My self esteem is back and I don't feel awkward when people look at me cos I know I look good. Calorie counting is just about watching what u eat in a day. Watching what you eat and accepting u have a problem is actually the first step to loosing weight. Am very lazy when it comes to exercising so I did the next best thing (eating less than my body needs so I do not need to burn anything off). Please do not see the comments here as insults, rather reflect on them and start working on ur weight today. Like my father says, failing to look after urself means u should be saving money for medical bills. Thanks,
Ihuoma
U are not serious. I hope u would be there for her when diseases like athritis, diebetis and the rest set in. Come to think of it, why don't u become obessed, there are still some women out there that like their men obessed. Mtcheeeewwwww!!
Oh please! Talking about celebrating curves is bull crap! More like celebrate couch potatoes and obesity! That level of bigness is so unhealthy and not right at all. I dont support designers selling size zero clothes and also dont support them selling size 20 and above clothes! People should stop mistaking fat & obesity for Curves! they are 2 totally different things. OBESITY = UNHEALTHY & leads to all sort of illness and short life span! CURVES is sexy! big difference!
There is no greater lie than lying to urself. They are just in denial. They should go and loose weight joor... Get off the couch and walk around ur neighbourhood. Stop being a couch potato. Use the money u will use to buy those clothes from Adaora and register with a gym, buy fruits and vegetables and lay off caborhydrates and red meat. Loosing weight is not rocket science, it is easy if u discipline urself.
you guys needs to stop this abusive comments and encourage other people. some men like their women big and its not every girl or lady that will be slim, there will definately be the bigger ones. lets be nice for once
I have always been big as a child. I moved back to nigeria as a size 18 but with very little healthy food options in Nigeria plus the fact that i stopped the normal active life i had in the Uk, i blew up to size 20.
I made u my mind to change this year and i started a diet. I have lost 5kg already and also motivated about 20 other ladies (I stopped eating rice,yam,white bread,eba.....)
I think you can't help or encourage anyone to lose weight, they have to see themselves as unhealthy and at risk, then they'll stop making excuses and start changing their lifestyle.
You can be fat and healthy or fat and unhealthy!!! PLEASE LADIES FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR LOVED ONES, CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE :))
This is damn unhealthy...
This is unattractive. I am a sz 14 now and still going down on my diet to be a 12. Sooo many issues with being fat; getting pregnant is difficult, HBP, Heart issues, knee problems & so on. Don't freaking encourage this!
MsFay
You are one of those ignorant people but who just have to run their mouth. If intentially put my weight on the post so that people struggling with weight would know that my 'harsh' comment is from a place of experience.
One of the things overweight and obese people have to face everyday is the bigotry of people like you. Bigotry is not only racism or homophobia.
I often ask people who just meet me and assume that I need weight loss tabs (which they often sell) and advise what they did to be slim. Alas, nothing. They were born slim, just found themselves slim. Many 'I am just slim' people are extremely unfit by the way. But this thread is about big girls.
So, commenting on what you don't know. Making people who were born big feel like they somehow are responsible for the body shape and propensity to gain weight on the same diet with their slim counterparts is just ignorant and stupid.
Alluding to what Nigerian men what as the cause of obesity is also a silly conclusion. So, that's what American men want too? O! American women want obese men? Or American parents want obese children? Get the drift?
Obesity and weight control is a science. If you haven't done any study on it to grasp the issues - it makes sense to stay out of the conversation.
By the way, Oprah Winfrey, doesn't have the moral right to talk about weight loss because she has struggled with her weight all of her adult life? See how myopic your thinking is.
It's just like that ignorant Sleek who said the success of a woman depends on her having a spouse and truck load of children even if she can't afford food for her kids effectively elevating the women who send their kids begging on the streets above Condi Rice and Oprah Winfrey.
How sad that we still have you and Sleeks type in this world.

Its fine to say that plus-sized women should lose weight, because it is unhealthy to be carrying extra fat- especially in the midsection which is where most of our women carry their weight. but i have 2 problems with all these complaints. first- wetin concern person??? if someone wants to be fat, let them be o! second- while you are screaming that we should be encouraging people to lose weight instead of making plus-size cloths, what the hell are plus-size women supposed to wear in the time they are trying to lose the weight? should they have to wear unattractive rags and daudy coths just because YOU don't think they should be fat??? Mind your words, abeg!
BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL, BUT PLEASE WORK TO BE A HEALTHY BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
TEE......
Sh hasnt finished nah...
8) THICKMADAM TOH SEXYYY
Errr...not always! Some people are naturally big while some are just unhealthy, overeaters and gross....people need to promote healthy lifestyles more rather than embrace gluttony!
Anyways, Ada Ukoh herself is really pretty and so is Edwina Ibru (stunning face!) but gosh she's massive!
Adaora - there has better NOT be a spandex in sight in your collection. Spandex is NOT a big girl's friend. Stretch to fit is not for a big girl and I see some of your friends in these pictures are already serious offenders!
I like the idea but please do your research. Look at Queen Latifah, look at the stores that cater to the larger woman like the Avenue, Lane Bryant and create styles that are trendy, fun, vibrant and suited to the figure of a plus size woman. There are some styles that a plus woman should NEVER wear no matter how confident she might be, stick to wrap dresses, utilize ruching etc. And please pick the right materials - NO SATIN! Satin is unforgiving even to skinny women.
DO YOUR RESEARCH AND ALL THE VERY BEST! I THINK THE MARKET IS RIPE FOR WHAT YOU OFFER.
For those hollering about size: Yes, there is big then there is obese. The Ibru girls are obese but those girls will never be size 2 because it is not their frame, they've been big all their lives but they just let themselves go by the way side. There are women who will be size 12/14/16 all their lives, I have friends who work out, eat sparsely but they are still size 18, 20 because they were not created to be size 2. They are healthy.
Please understand skinny does NOT necessarily mean healthy.
These women are all dangerously obese and need to stop eating and start exercising.
Nice concept but these chics should go lock themselves up in a gym.Being fat is not a healthy way to live.I have been on this road before....
And when she dies at 60 u move on to the next one right ?! Ofcourse u can be curvy but son those women are FAT not curvy!
nka dikwa egwu plus kwa... #issorai kudos
I no fit go that kinda fashion fair. Overload of fat people in one day will kill my spirit. How do they do it? Just be eating and eating and maybe boozing as well? When i was pregnant, my biggest size was a uk size 12 and i am back to uk size 8.
These ladies should stop been lazy and lose some weight. They should stop trying to glory in the wrong thing. It is unhealthy for any of them to remain this way and now they want to make money off their problem. Common lets be serious here. lose weight ladies and be true role models for younger girls.

WRITTEN BY ME:
una well done o, but am not a party to this. Am off to the gym. #tongue out.
I don't want to knock anyone's game, but as a former fat guy, i don't know that this women ain't trying to lose weight. Besides not looking gross, yes i said it; u def don't want to go through all the health issues that come with the kind of weight they are carrying. we all cant be lepa's but too much of everything is just bad and dat includes excessive weight. Can anyone tell me that these 300 pounders look sexy in anyway shape or form. Don't encourage them please
Some of these women are just Obese. They should go and lose weight.
http://www.mynewhitmanwrites.com/2012/04/what-makes-woman-good-wife.html
U be sadist oo, nawa. Haba.
Nice concept, it goes 2 prove dat u dnt have 2 look lyk a tree trunk b be beautiful *beauty lies 4rm within*
Lmaoooooooooooooo! Pls leav d ibru sisters
These women are obese, please don't encourage obesity with fancy clothes. Please don't, coronary heart failure won't give a shit about ur fancy clothes. Fat is unhealthy and all that BS about not everyone can be skinny should stop, you can be a healthy weight. Gluttony is a sin in Islam and Christianity. Y'all need to stop abeg.
Let me get this, Actresses and Stars in the US are encouraging healthy living and weight loss while some gal in Naija is encouraging OROBOISM with its attendant health challenges? I better come and start a reality series, "THE BIGGEST GAINER" ala "The biggest loser"...Nonsense.
bring this 2the notice of ur readers if u find informative....
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/drink-day-raise-breast-cancer-risk/story?id=16020339
nice one for plus sized women. we need more suitable clothes for them ohhh
Yes beauty isn't about having a pretty face.It's about having a pretty mind,a pretty heart,and most importantly,a beautiful soul.Having said that,please note that no citizen has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical/fitness training.What a disgrace it is for a man/woman to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his/her body is capable of.......
I don't know who these ladies are but I'd like you to know that being healthy and fit is the way to go.
Hehe,good one for d runway but mhen dis ladies re obese and re so not healthy. See deir flabby arms bikonu(Mshew) for dose who say d ibrus shld go under d knife dats a huge lie dem no need am. Cut down on all d starchy fud, junks, alchohol and fizzy drinks den dem go loose weight by force. We all aint born to be lepas but dese women don't even look like dey make efforts at keeping fit and healthy living.
There is a great need for that market...great move Adaora! I wish u success as well.
lets all be truthful to ourselves.nobody is comfortable being a plus size.we just try consoling ourselves but deep down we are hurt. am a plus size too but started working on my weight and have lost 5kg in a month. determination is the key though not easy. if you observe very well,most plus size ladies and even guys wear 'body magic',why?'cos they want to look reduced.my dear,don't be deceived.
God bless u for saying the truth. Being rich and successful also involves being healthy. Being overweight is like sitting on a keg of gun powder waiting to explode. I have a friend that is 26 but already has athritis and heart diseases cos of her weight. She had to advice herself after her Doctor told her she may not live to see her 40th birthday. She used to weigh as much as 135kg but now weighs 95kg due to strict dieting and strenous exercises. Now her athritis is gone cos the weight on her legs is reduced. Please take care of urself, if not for urself, then for your loved ones who may not want to loose u at a young age.

linda, I am looking for just one of these phat girls for a life partner. Please get me some...
Adaora and co, go and loose weight. U don't look good at all with all the wobbly and potruding body parts. Don't u guys have mirrors? Soon u will start paying for double seats on d plane. Its only in Nigeria that u see very fat rich people and that's cos we have the mentality that ur appearance should show how rich u are. In the states and Uk, its the other way round, cos fruits and veggies are thrice more expensive than junk foods. Veggies and fruits are actually cheap in nigeria plus gym registration fee is not so much so I don't know what ur excuses are. Being rich means u have more chances to take care of urself than average people and that does not just mean buying expensive clothes, cars, houses and the rest. It also means taking care of the body that allows you to be able to work and make the money. Once that body begins to malfunction, you can kiss ur businesses and other assests byebye. Please do something to reduce ur weight before it gets too late.
Shannon
Adaora's legging is torn in the first picture, or is it my eyes seeing double ?. Anyway her idea will fetch her more money cos most plus size people are rich. So she will have wealthy customers.
i'm a size 14 and i'm already scared of dying young. ladies!!!! beta dnt let any1 fool you with "inner beauty". u wl jis peme b4 ur 45. #word. nice work tho
Yaaaayy! Plus size clothing finally!!Nice one Ada! Plus size women with plus size feet should check out this page for fabulous plus size shoes! http://jehovanni.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/attention-plus-size-shoes-4-sale_2023.html?m=1 .... Real pretty stuff @ affordable prices!
dont know y most of u sayn a lot of shit. some ppl r naturally fat and no matter how they try they cant shed soo much to look skinny. u can be fat n healthy if u eat right.and you can also be skinny n unhealthy. try n read other bloggs other than LIB to get know other things instead of blabbin like a bafoon
I concur!obesity shldnt be encouraged.its d cause of so many western diseases today!
LMAO!u harsh o!
SHE SHOULD OPEN A GYM FOR THEM INSTEAD OF A CLOTHING LINE. OBESITY KILLS!!
Linda why have u withheld my comment? Are u looking for my trouble? It must never happen again!
Gbogbo fat girls. Lose weight o. Dnt feel cool being overweight. All things are possible. Watch ur diet$ do some exercise. You will lose these excess baggage. It is not cool at all. Ibru sisters esp.
those women are obese plus sized and should be on a diet for their own health
Obukome's name has always made me laugh! Did her parents know her backside was gonna be d bomb right from when she was in the womb?cos I know urhobo peeps like to name their kids right from when they are in d womb. #myback(side) ℓ☺ℓ
Ok o, wen u have ur own kids, allow them to get this fat. Nobody said that slim people do not get sick, but being fat exposes you to more diseases and sicknesses. There is no how u will tell me that these girls will not loose some weight if they watch what they eat or exercise that I will believe u. So don't tell me that crap about people being naturally fat. No matter how u look at it or how much u want to shy away from the truth, the girls in the pictures above are FAT! Not thick, plumb, chubby or whatever other what u might want to use to make it less offensive, the fact remains that they are REALLY FAT! OBESSED is the word!! If u check the body mass index, they are very much in the danger zone already. Instead of trying to sooth their ego, we should tell them the hard truth as it is cos it is for their own good. Death by obesity is going up everyday, they should do something so they won't be victims.
Ur comment is refreshing my dear. There is nothing like telling one's self the truth. They should and loose weight joor!
Second comment you have not posted, okay!
Hahahahahahahahaha! Very true!!
Jesus! Am a sise 10 and I monitor my weight like clockwork, I can't believe people still let themselves go like this. Imagine this! They are just lazy. Inner beauty ko, inner beauty ni. Outer beauty has to appeal to someone first before the person can come close enough to notice the inner beauty u are talking about. As far as am concerned, this is a serious case of self neglect. Find ur way to the gym please. Mtcchhewww!!!
Sorry *size.
Hmmmmmmn.... Nicest comment I have read in a while. Very true!
@Anon1:39pm stop deceiving urself. Who told u dt Nigerian men like big women? If dey do y do dey leave d big women @ home n go afta lesser sizes? Mtchewwwww! Health is wealth jare
Good idea o....buh...make them all go slim down jareh so their husbands no go dey disturb slim chicks like me...true curves of african women ko...
#Queeny!
For the record, i have a free blog/forum where you can see weight loss tips, and get food timetables and exercise suggestions. all for free oh. Success stories are even on the forum. Start watching your weight today, Size 22 can never be healthy.
www.africanweightloss.com/forum
Most of this ladies are out of proportion and its very unhealthy....I like the lady behind Adaora in the second pic tho...If you are single..I need your contact ASAP.I like what you got but would defo tk you to the gym while we kick it. holla... TP
I like plus size ladies but this is too much and its unhealthy. Y'all need to hit the gym ASAP, Loving the lady behind Adaora in the second pic tho..I can work you out real good.If you single and u got a cool head over your shoulder...holla at me.. TP
@ Africanweightn loss diva.....issalie, so u actually read Linda's blog... cuz i'm a member of your forum.. pls preach it ooo.
@Topic.....i'm a size 18 and my target is to be a size 14 by september which is very possible....i'm big but not unhealthy, dis ladies really have to watch it cuz being big and healthy is one thing but being obese and unhealthy is another....
somebody needs to stop these people
ONOME says.................
Weight issues and healthy living have been on for a very looooooong time.
Malnutrition is not just under nutrition it is also over nutrition.Hence obesity and anorexia nervosa probably are in the same danger bracket.
Sine this post is specifically about obese women I will concern myself to that.I agree that confidence should stretch to being pleased with whatever body type you have I can also confidently tell you that obesity is a health risk and should not be encouraged by enshrouding the gobs of fat in layers of clothing!
Obesity is a risk factor for Diabetes mellitus type 2 arthritis,kidney related problems,hperlipidemia,cardiomyopathies,arteriosclerosis,myocardial infarction,cerebrovascular accidents/stroke,varicose veins,urinary incontinence.......I think I should stop here.phew.
Ladies,start exercising fast and cut down on the carbohydrates and fatty foods.Its your life.TAKE CHARGE
So if there are no clothes size 20 and above, what should women in that cadre wear? Its cos of people like you that "fat" people have low self esteem and lock themselves in a room. Do you also feel the same about AIDS victims? Should they be quarantined and not allowed into society? Is that the best way to encourage them?
I dare anyone here to say they are perfect. Body, face, skin, straight legs, perky boobs, rounded buttocks, successful...the list is endless. Are white people justified for looking down on blacks(making our women resort to cancer pills to lighten their skin), or are rich people justified for oppressing the poor(afterall being rich is within your control)? Yes its a health issue but if they are happy with their lives, who's to say the die unhappy as you all purport.
Of all the young nigerian women we've heard about their deaths, whether by accident, suicide, murder, even ill health, how many were obese?
I am in no way insinuating that obesity is healthy/ideal but its more important to live a righteous(being slim doesn't take you to heaven), happy, fulfilled life, than to obsess over conforming to what someone else thinks you should be.
There are many ways of helping people overcome challenges and discrimination/degrading is not one of them. At least fat can be fixed, being ugly is a lost cause so check yourselves
Adaora is one chic dat never make any effort to lose weight,sign of laziness I guess. Wel i commend her effort anyway but pls she shld try and shed some weight even if is 10kg,is something.
@2:23pm, "treadmill concepts". hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahah
I love that.
I just had a baby and went from size 6 to size 20. U can bet by end of year, I'll be back to a size 6.
These girls are just FAT! you hear? FAT! i can see crisco coming out of their pores.........
ibru girls, ur sisters-in-law, are they fat?????NO!!! coz they wouldnt have married into your family. Go and lose weight. You can afford to hire someone to slap you everytime you even THINK of fatty foods. Hire a chef. Do SOMETHING....
Treadmill comcepts...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahhah
@anon 1.57, they are not after ur tin curves! They are after what is btw ur legs, if thet finich, them go dump u like rag.
Dats if u dnt die b4 dem...cnt u jis encourage ppl nd sharrap #okbye
Haaa for u size 8 no thin, wetin pple like us wey dey wear 12 go call our selves
I saw this one porn flick with a big size lady and the guy had to keep searching for her "spot" nah'mean cos the fat kept hiding shit and stuff....that was when I took a solemn oath never to go near one of the so called plus size girls...good lord...exercise, diet, stop eating and shit...we like flesh but not the type that could kill...sorry this had nothing to do with the story but please Linda publish my comment. Thank you and I love you.
Every comment right on target.
But then, while they battle the weight issue at least they should be clothed. Not just being clothed but trendy at that. They too must look good. This is where Adaora comes in.
@ Mine, it beats me why you should bother adding weight if right now you are within the BMI of your age.
All the comments here reflecting the health challenges of being even overweight shouldn't be taken lightly. Am sure you are already beautiful as it were. Just love yourself first and be confident of whom God has purposed you to be.
Do not let your outward appearance be determined by what third parties say.
In anycase, if your life's quest is to add weight, it's simple. Eat a lot of junk food all through the day. Eat a lot of pasta like foods etc.
Hey! Why am I doing this? Do not heed my advise as it is liable to give you cholesterol problems, make you obese, give you heart problems and diabetes. It can certainly lead to your dead die. Be Warned!
@chichiluv, you friends who work out and eat right yet they are still sizes 18,20 and 22 are in trouble. they need to consider gastric by pass if they can afford it. it is not about being confident, it is a health issue. i love curvy women and would never be a lover of slim women but 18, 20 and 22 are serious health issues.
comments i saw from a few posts here;
Obesity and weight loss is a science.
No it is not.You may be born big but you can control your bigness and even reduce it.Accepting weight loss as a lost cause is a cop out.
Most slim people are very unfit.
Gbam!! very true. some of us are hiding our laziness behind our slim frames.

All i can say is how can someone carry around all this weight in Nigeria?? As slim as i am, wheneverI go to naija, I am still dying of the heat. Unless they live in air conditioned houses and cars 24/7, i dont see how one can be this big in Nigeria, simply due to the climate. Thats all I have to say...

Thank you for your shared opinion but no, these ladies do not need gastric bypass. They are perfectly fine with who they are, they have successful lives, great relationships and they are healthy individuals all around - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. They continue to care for themselves and those around them with love, warmth and generosity.
Like I said previously, skinny does not equal healthy.
I would rather be friends with a loving, sweet, ride or die "orobo" than some skinny, nasty, cold bitch but then again, that's just me.
You are not curvy
Mercy Johnson is Curvy
Beyonce is Curvy
Kim Kardashian is Curvy
Toccara is Curvy
Jennifer Lopez is Curvy
YOU ON THE OTHER HAND are ALL SIMPLY GROSSLY FAT AND OBESE
Dont get it twisted and lets define curvy
Monique is their american role model but they forget that monique and her hypocritical FAT ASS - is slowly loosing weight after all the many years she insulted and wrote books on people who were not fat. TYPICAL AKATA INSECURE BI TCH.
Just like Gabrielle Sidibe, who is extremely nice - her personality is 100% fabulous, but she is still extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemly fat and if she doesn't do something she will die. Her 100% great personality thats not supersede her fatness.
i have a very very handsome tall male cousin in maryland USA all he does is go to night clubs to find FAT women to date . LOL - he loves FAT women - not curvy -but very fat women LOL. He is in all the families prayers and fasting. LOL
I'm slim but I have to say that some plus sized women are more healthy, dress better, no stretchmarks/cellulite, and are cleaner than slim women. Everybody can't be slim.
In as much as being big is not healthy I will still say kudos to Adaora for her move. How I wish someone will also open a clothing line or shoe line for tall people like me. You will never appreciate Adaora untill you find urself in a bad situation that makes you cry each time you go shopping simply because you couldnt get your size. The day I went to look for a flat sandal or slippers while I was in Johannesburg I nearly cried cos I couldnt get a size for my long legs in all the malls. Shopping for work cloths is also a big problem cos I hardly see a long enough sleeved cloths. Someone please do something for the long sisters too.
#smh......some people just dnt have nice things to say....yes we know they are fat.....that doesnt mean you should all be insulting about it....am sure some of em are trying to loose weight....there are nice ways to go about telling them to lose weight...che!!!
Nice reply lol
Blah blah blah.. some people on here really need to go read a book and get educated ! I applaud the clothing line.. I believe plus size women should be able to dress and feel good about themselves too.. Im a plus size woman n yes i do know the benefits of keeping fit and living a healthy lifestyle.. But being skinny or slim doesnt mean your healthy or less likely to get sick.. so unless ur in the gym 3 times a week, you dont go over your daily calorie intake, have a balanced diet and you walk everywhere I suggest you keep it moving... if you do not have a healthy lifestyle fat,skinny,slim,curvy or wateva u are more likely to die younger regardless.. Nigerians n their ignorant ways... SMH
All of them should go and lose weight jor, and stop hiding under, bold and burriful. Burriful ko, burriful ni.
Is this some kind of belated April Fool's joke? All these women look like they're one cheeseburger away from heart disease and a heart attack. There is a huge difference between curvy and fat/obese.
Ladies, please hit the gym. If you don't have the will power to stay on the stair master, then get a personal trainer and if you can't afford a personal trainer you need to stop eating all that crap and just walk for your life.
They look horrible... Let them lose a bit of weight. There is arteriosclerosis and other heart related diseases. LOSE SOME WEIGHT!!!
this isnt plus size oh, na overweight! lose the belly weight, the arm flabs and then tell me ur big!
Agreed that sometimes fat people are over indulging then again God in his infinite have decided to make some people fat.I think that it is their God given right to carry them selves with class and dignity.So Adaora carry go, do your thing and make the best out of it.
