A Nigerian lady has decided not to attend her cousin’s wedding after the bride-to-be told her she won’t be her maid of honour because she is too fat.
The lady who uses the Twitter handle @Zioraife also accused family members of bullying her over her weight.
“My closest cousin, the closest thing I have to a sibling, has officially confirmed I won’t be her maid of honour cos I’m just too fat for a maid of honour role. Have to lose some weight before December or no maid of honour duties for me. I shan’t be attending the wedding” she tweeted on Sunday, June 5.
“My family will swear I’m wicked and no-nonsense cos I reward meanness with the same level of vim. Begging me to attend for what? So I’d damage the aesthetics? Nah, I’ll stay home, press my phone all day, happy married life Couz!”
“These people who are supposed to be my people have bullied me all my life for genes I have absolutely no control over. If not for strong self-will, I’d loathe my body. Each time I eat, I stress over how much I’m eating, over how much I gain just from eating. Hei mbanu!” she added.
