Dsalvo:


Steroid treatment for many conditions can make a person literally swell. Figure of speech.

She seems to have maintained a stable weight for a long period of time.

The excessive weight gain of the first Lady appears abnormal TBH.

Nigerians are not in the dark ages and are relatively benign when it comes to so called body shaming because being fat is socially acceptable or desirable in many sub- cultures. We even have fattening rooms in some places for prospective brides.
Anorexia nervosa is not a significant issue in Nigeria

I remember Ronaldo de Lima years ago making a disclosure about his thyroid in response to body shaming

Let us make our points without gratuitously denigrating Nigerians.
Human beings can be cruel sadly but Nigerians are not outstanding in that regard

Dsalvo:


I think you know me well enough here to know that is not my style. I am passionate about Nigeria and her progress.

My point is that Nigerians are not sensitive enough, yet, about the need to be circumspect over issues that offends the sensibility of others.

I am no fan of Buhari. Yet, to draw a correlation between his wife becoming unusually bloated, in a short period of time, with literally eating the money of the poor is flawed.

omonnakoda:

First let us define SWELLING in the context in which you use it or dispense with it and use more precise terminology
What is the pathophysiology of SWELLING in steroid treatment
I am interested to know what you think is happening at the tissue level

There are dozens of conditions that can cause weight gain and it is pointless singling any particular one out without evidence
We have seen pictures that clearly show weight gain if you like call it swelling, ballooning, puffing, or whatever we simply do not have the information

omonnakoda:
Ok but people are people everywhere . Anywhere there is freedom of speech people will taunt those in the public eye and body shaming is not peculiar to Nigerians.

With regard to Aisha I think it was very apt unless you are out of sync with the harsh reality that is Nigerians lot
We are talking of a woman who gathered with governors a few months ago to celebrate her birthday in Dubai . It is horses for courses

No less than Wole Soyinka coined the word SHIPOPOTAMUS

The same woman flaunting graduation photos of her daughter inlaw in the middle of ASUU strike
She got her just desserts

sotall:


Aisha Buhari has swallowed all the money that was supposed to be used to feed Nigerian masses.

Dsalvo:


You're right but I did not single a condition out. I gave oone illustrative example. Not at all exhaustive or definitive of the issue with the first lady. If indeed she has an issue.

My point remains that, as uninformed observers not privy to what is going on with the first Lady, it is in poor taste to mock her a thief, against the poor, because she has piled on a lot of pounds in a short period of time.

It's a convenient excuse in a nation where there is a distinct caricature depiction of a fat bourgeois class and rake-skinny underprivileged class.

Fact is that a lot of Nigerians, even those not wealthy by any measure, are chunky anyway because of a sedentary lifestyle matched with a bad, oily and starchy diet.

Dsalvo:


Lol. That takes me back. You're right sha. It is the Nigerian tongue-in-cheek reality.

lhordspy:
You are noticed boy.

omonnakoda:


You have already made up your mind and so are not thinking

Please define SWELL

You keep parroting swell. swell
"Body parts swell"
It is like you just discovered pathology and want to practise


All your theories are unnecessary

The woman is overweight
NOT SWOLLEN

yinkeys:

This is not categorized as overweight
This is obesity
She’s shattered the BMI

omale88:
she probably has kidney issues its common with obesity.

yinkeys:

This is not categorized as overweight
This is obesity
She’s shattered the BMI (Body Mass Index)

BloomingDale:
From what I'm seeing, I think she has a health problem. She is swollen, not fat.

lhordspy:
You are noticed boy.

brandnprinting:


You get time o, trying to educate an ignoramus.

Ezewuzie01:
'You are fat' and 'You are feeding fat off poor people' are not the same thing.

Napata77:


Same thing I thought. If Seun is not a coward he should say the same thing that boy said, not half.

omonnakoda:
Your opinion
There is nothing like swollen in medical terminology to describe the entire living body.
Only a dead body is "swollen"

She is fat.

BloomingDale:
From what I'm seeing, I think she has a health problem. She is swollen, not fat.

MzErica:
The boy is high on cheap weed as usual. This chronic fvck boy look for attention like WTF!

RealTalkNoBull:
And if it’s a health issue?

BeardedMeat:
Is he your Fucck boy? I'm asking for a friend here with me?
Are you the one in your DP?
I'm also asking for a friend.

MzErica:


Is your father a dead-brain fool? I'm asking on behalf of your useless mother.
