who often lampoon her on social media about her plus size. Recently,
she criticised those who made negative comments about her photo shoot
and that has kind of generated a lot of hits.
She was asked why she had to go that hard on her fans over mere
comments about her big shape and she said, "People tend to underrate
just to make you feel somehow or to intimidate you. That's why I say,
I don't see intimidation. If anyone should come out and say 'Eniola is
big! She is that!' For goodness sake, I like it like that. I'm okay.
"Besides, my body shape is giving me money and I'm good. I'm living
well. I'm healthy. I'm sure I'm healthier than some slim people. All
of us can't be slim. People should stop this body-shaming pinging.
It's not nice."
The Gbogbo Bigz Girlz as she is fondly referred to, a name she got
from the role she played in Funke Akindele's movie, Jenifa, fired at
those who make nasty comment on social media:
"Even if you want to advise someone that it's not nice, there is a way
you can say it not by insulting people because you feel you can just
write or talk anyhow on social media. No! Anybody that insults me on
social media, I will insult back. Yes, because it doesn't make one
feel good.
"In foreign countries, intimidation causes some people to commit
suicide. When you are being intimidated, that's when depression comes
up. After depression, you go and die. Me, die because of what? No oh!
This life is too sweet to die, because of words of some people. I'm
okay.
"If anyone doesn't like me, they should keep a distance. The people
that like me will forever be around me. I remember that I wrote, why
use panadol for my headache? Every blog carried it that I said I know
my stature is a big problem to some. But it's the truth.
"Among all of you that are insulting me that Eniola is too big I'm
sure your mum is bigger than me. So why not concentrate on the one you
have? I know one of your friends is bigger than me, or one of your
sisters.
"Most of the fat babes, the plus size people who watch me want to
emulate me because I'm a celebrity. Whatever she does let's do it. You
get it? I know I'm a role model to some people."
