Thanks so much for stopping by. Like you, I initially assumed that the goal was to simply get the women robust and teach them a few 'tricks' Unfortunately, the more I look at Calabar fattening rooms, the more I realize that the women come out a little closer to obese than robust. Even coming out with a little meat on your bone can actually be problematic depending on how active or in this case, inactive, you are.

It is hilariuous, and very funny for me. In our culture slim is pretty, and fat is ugly. I would never marry fat woman.

This is really interesting, I have never heard of this fattening room before. I don't know why you would want to try and get fat - unless you are unhealthy thin.
I guess every culture has it's different traditions, it is very interesting.

I am curios about this so called “calabar fattening rooms”? Is this really true? For now my major plan for this summer is to lose weight because I am getting fat and I cannot control in eating and I was so scared to wear beach suit seeing my body that is too fat.

I like losing my weight too, and for now, it is so hard for me to do any exercise, because of my work schedule. I am a busy person also...hence I got interested with this article? Is this true?

Oh, wow, to be the partner of a 'wealthy and important' man who can obviously afford what your idea of a 'beauty room' is, sounds absolutely wonderful to me! I would love it! This vision is delicious! Thank you! he he!

Interesting tradition. It seems that I have the opposite tradition with the fattering room for bride. In my traditional culture, the bride usually should drink herbal that can make her slimer (but proportioal not thin). She also have to use long cloth to make her stomach looks small. I don't know if it's healthy or not, but for me losing weight or gain weight in short time is a bad method, and using woman's figure for man's pride is not make sense. Woman is not a property, so there's no reason that she should thin of fat just to give pride for the man.

That's certainly a different a social approach to life then we have in the United States. Although, we too used to have a similar mentality of weight=wealth (or social standing) in western world.

I heard about this fattening room or 'Nkuho' as its called. When I was younger, I desperately wanted to be sent to one before I got married because I knew it would be an amazing experience. I wish I could still do it...not for any "fattening" purposes but for true refinement & possibly some time away from the city in a natural element. Sigh...I imagine bliss.

Hi SS, I like reading your blog. Thanks for the commitment and dedication to highlighting important issues.
Please I would like you to bring up this topic of "fattening rooms" again. An article appeared in a paper recently about how Africans are now starving themselves and going on extreme diets to look this and aspire to the "western" ideas.
While I appreciate that there is no need to go for either extreme, I think girls should know that they don't need to be stick thin to be beautiful. I would like to hear more comments from your readers on this topic. Many thanks.

Interesting article, I know a few women who would appreciate the concept of "refinement" but I have to ask, what sort of "refinement" do the grooms go through for their brides?

Told you, you don't want to hear my americanized opinion, I'm still trying to nail one single tradition that I can identify with. Just one. lol
