‘I am skinny, and so what?’ LIB reader writes, shares his photos

I’m totally fed up of people telling me how tall but thin I appear. Yes I’m skinny, and so what???

* Does it means I do not have blood flowing in my veins?
* Does it means I can not become someone great?
* Does it means I do not have a future?
* Does it means I do not go the same school the masculine went?
* Does it means I’m fragile?
* Does it means I can’t make a good relationship partner? 

These are among the 1001 questions running through my mind.

The Nigeria society today hasn’t been fair enough to the skinny when it comes to selection of a right person for a particular job. Is it our fault that God created us to look this form or is  it our fault that the likes of Xaxtin injections, Epo Eja, wate-on and countless numbers of multivitamins has refused to function in our blood cell?

I recall a scene during the last NIS recruitment day when a commandant held my hand and said to me * I am not sure if you can do this job * I looked into his eyes with so much fierce and that spoke it all, as he left hurriedly. For God sake! Been skinny  doesn’t mean we do not have power to work or the strength to get involve in some activities the able-bodied are into.

The height of this discrimination is when a lady look into your eyes and tell you * its true that I love your moral, and sense of belonging but, I can not date you cos you’re thin* well, one word for you all who say this f**k you b***h you were never meant to be part of my storylines. What good is it when you date a built-bodied and he turns out to using you as punch bags and not Been the faithful type in your relationship?

What use is a built body with an empty brain?

To all my skinny brothers and friends all around the world, we are awesomely made by God and the discrimination of this so called world shouldn’t be a distractions to us. To be skinny isn’t our choice but God’s. If you are thinking less of yourselves cos you’re skinny, then I will like to remind of some who are skinny but holds some strong positions  in Nigeria today. Ribadu is One, Malam El-rufai is another, even Alhaji Mohammed Buhari our today president is skinny too, and so what??

Be happy and bold for whom God has made you to be.
