Food is more than just culture in Nigeria 😂😂😂

Growing up in a Nigerian family, you learn quickly just how much food means to us and how to cook!

God, I love the Diaspora. We have a lot of general things in common, but I adore the way we put spins on things.

I love me some us.

Most people think feederism and fat admiration are purely modern kinks, but in parts of Africa, they’ve been cultural practices for centuries.

In my culture (Nigeria), fatness traditionally symbolised wealth, beauty, fertility, and good health. Among the Efik people in Calabar, brides-to-be would be secluded in special “fattening rooms” for months. There, they’d be pampered, taught womanhood, and encouraged to gain weight before marriage.

When I look at this community, I see a parallel: what we do here isn’t strange or “taboo” it’s part of a long human tradition of celebrating fatness as power, prosperity, and attraction.

Maybe Fantasy Feeder isn’t just fantasy at all
 maybe it’s a continuation of something much older.

Had anyone here ever heard of the Calabar fattening room before?


in Africa, they understood the value of life, long before anyone else!
