I'm Big not sick!

The bus conductor was shouting at the top of his lungs for passengers "ketu ojota" thanks to fuel scarcity in lagos, stranded passengers had to rush into the bus in order to get good seats or any seat at all. There she was, trying to force her big frame into the already tight bus. She was sweating profusely, while others laughed at her "mission almost impossible" She had a pretty face though it was covered with badly done make up and sweat.

She must have been having a bad day. As she tried to get off the bus, she tore her skirt (ouch) as if that wasn't enough,Fatima fell (eyah). Onlookers laughed as she tried to help herself up. poor thing(smh). It got me thinking how unfair life could be sometimes. Our society which once embraced being big and called it beautiful now laughs at their own. What a shame. The plugs in my brain, begin to
 spark. Now i speak on behalf of my big sisters.

Just because i dont look good in skinny jeans doesnt make me less a woman. Im big not sick! Just because i cant run as fast as you to catch a bus or save my life doesnt make me lazy. Im big not sick! I agree that i eat a bit more than you do but i guess you are not blind to see that my size requires more food than yours. Im big not sick! The same way you have a crush on a good looking guy, works the same way for me. Remember our eyeballs are the same size from birth till death. Im big not sick! I might wear a size or two bigger than your's in that perfect dress, doesnt mean im a mumu. Im big not sick!

Im beautiful on the inside and if you just squint those stupid eyes of yours, you will also see im beautiful on the outside. Im big not sick! All you good looking guys out there, i could love you just as good as that thin anaemic girl, if not better . Remember i have a big heart. Im big not sick. You reading this, before you laugh and call me pap brain, remember your ancestors, where just the way i am now and if they weren't, their husbands were ashamed of them. Im big not sick!

When next u see me walking slowly down the road, just know im not tired, im learning to catwalk in time for the big miss world pageant. I'm big not sick!
