  • A lot of subsistence cultures find beauty in fat women because it is so rare. I would say there was a lot of starvation in this tribal area that spawned this. Europe at one time had the ideal beauty as chunkier women also...

  • I kept having to remind myself that this is a DOCUMENTRY not a MOCKUMENTRY. Its like fattening pigs for market. Mind you the women dont actually seem that fat - by western obese standards! I still cant believe its real! When the women was 'dancing' infront of the men she was a symbol of everything women have battled against.Traditions like this are probably upheld by women bitter that had to endure it so they carry it on as 'tradition' so they dont have to face up to their own pain & humiliation

  • i wanna move there

    so i can enjoy eating n be praised when i m oversized ;P

  • Thumb up for this work but for the comments of the narrator. Leave us to our culture, wea re proud of it. The black race shall be forever!!!

  • You probably tried to jerk off to this, but no, because it's not worth it when you're fat.

  • most ancient european traditions are not only richer but much less primitive then these traitions today, actually this isnt culture or anything like it, its just dumb niggers doing what they do

  • niggers today are just as dumb as 500 years ago, they simply dont evolve just like everybody knew 500 years ago, our ancestors already knew what we try to deny today, races are different some go foward, others dont, i believe blacks are doomed to disapear all together or if they exist it will be mixed with other races, no kind of animal can survive being so dumb and with lack of adaptable qualitys

  • @ukusapillage you're ignorance amazes me lol ..its nearly 2012 and you have yet to evolve to think differently especially knowing we have a black president now (couldn't be all that dumb now could we?)...i feel sorry for you ...your ignorance is fatal... get well soon

  • @ukusapillage Shut it, if you can't stand blacks then stop watching youtube videos that revolves around them, it doesn't make sense. In your profile all you do is talk trash about blacks(the people you hate), get a life. Lastly blacks will always exist in the future in Africa and the Caribbean(their not going no where or turning mixed LOL, stop dreaming), especially when Blacks populations are growing worldwide. So get over yourself take your white supremacist crap some where else

  • @ukusapillage U are an idiot. Your cooments show the level of your intellect. U are much dumber than those you think you are castigating. Shame on you and your ancestors

  • @ukusapillage Your logic FAILS badly. Ok, I agree somewhere back in history, whites evolved from blacks, but that doesn't mean blacks stop evolving. Whites just evolved in a different direction suited for a different environment (colder). NOTHING can stop evolving, that's basic biology you Dumb shit.

  • I am interested in knowing more about this topic can anyone recommend some books to read up on?

  • i see profit potential for american food industry here lol

  • @Gaffer213... i'm sure your mother is so proud of her idiot offspring. People who willfully display their ignorance so openly are just bringing the rest of us down as a species. Thanks a lot moron.

  • Will they make house calls?! I'd hire for a future gf :)

  • OMG Facts sent me here

  • @itsdirtydecember Me too :)

  • They are not being force fed, they chose to feed continuously eat for however long they want to. It is their tradition, like how westerners have the white wedding gowns. Also, in those locations, there are plenty of people who starve for days due to lack of money, so a fuller figure shows a richer status. We should be trying to preserve other peoples cultures instead of trying to squash them into ours. The only thing I don't agree with is female circumcision, because that is actually forced

  • This is so fucking stupid.

  • What's sad is what the women have to go through just to get a man/get married. Although, America and other countries aren't better in that there are girls who are anorexic. Both cases are terrible because it is so unhealthy. But I suppose if they really want to gain all that weight, they can go ahead.

  • Let me get this right. A fat woman is protesting about fattening women....mmmmm. Seems odd, don't you think. The fat thing is more likely to be linked to giving the female body enough food to provide for healthy off spring. In nations where food is uncertain. The more likely reason is that they (girl) are kept a virgin and isolated from men. So the reason for the continued tradition is not as simple as it at first seems.

  • I like big butts and i cannot lie.... :D

  • @ItsMeGandhi So why do you see all these white girls trying to get darker(tan)breast implants, and butt implants. There even trying to make there lips bigger! White women have the most plastic work done because they have the worst bodies and the age fast. My wife looks good cause she is mix black, white, and mexican.

  • @ItsMeGandhi wtf! they are not gorillas! you sound just like someone on the oprah show. she said "she had never felt such evil from someone before" you, are racist and should be ashamed of yourself

  • Savages. 

  • They do it for teh lulz.

  • It is a good thing that Nigerians don't fall for the anorexic with huge artificial breasts craze that Europeans have fallen for but female circumcision is another thing altogether. It is cruel. Although every culture, European, African or Asian seems to want to brutalize women for what they call beauty in some fashion or other. Abuse of women is a universal problem it just comes in different forms depending on where you are.

  • Female circumcision is a crime! Every tradition is not a good thing! If her husband is enjoying sex -- it is for damn sure that she is not!

  • I like this tradition cause its not violent stuff!

  • wat part of Nigeria is dis?? is it Callabar or Akwa igbom???? wonderful culture

  • pls this is not nigeria culture it must be congo or other africa

  • @christopher2658 Then u r very stupid. This is Nigeria. U dumb fuck.

  • I love the people complaining about the fattening up, people choose to fatten themselves up in the west all the time lol

    The circumsizing is sick tho cus it is mostly done when the girls are too young to make the decision for themselves, it should be banned for any girl below the age of 21 and if the girl then chooses to follow the traditions and cultures of her parents she can choose to and understand the risks and concequences.

  • BOOOOOOBBBBIIIIEEEESSSSS!!!!!!­!!!!!!! lolololololololol

  • It's sad that I can just watch a infromative video w/out seeing all of the hate comments.

  • @Nnfefe SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE RAPIST....TYPICAL CONGOLESE GORILLA...EEEEEWWWWW!!!!!

  • @vixxy02 You prey on young virgins for your brothel trade

  • @Nnfefe Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants.Radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.HOW MANY DID YOU 'STEAL' THIS WEEKEND?

  • Just give them an internet access, a PS3 and a phone straight to Pizza Hut/McDonalds

  • or they could do it the american style.. get fat once there already married

  • why dont they just put macdonalds' there.. hahah

  • i dont see a problem in the fattening up, but the circumcition is horrible

  • @emfri circumsition of what? girls dont have dinglys....

  • @lancebasslover99 okay ill call it fgm instead

  • @lancebasslover99 The clitoris

  • Bbw nice

  • WTF

  • I can't decided if this or starving yourself is worse...

  • IGNORANCE IS A BITCH - and thank God my African Parents gave me Education. I feel sorry for those who dont have it. It is soooooooooooooo SAD

  • @simp1eone

    Ignorance and deliberate ignorance is indeed the worst plague the humanity has to overcome.

    I have NO respect for traditions steeped in stupidity.

  • what ever floats your boat

  • Fat is Beautiful.  NOT

  • @bernie23232323232323  is rude.................

    These women are going to get diabetes..... so sad

  • @bernie23232323232323 you are a horrible person.

  • @SuperHeroMan411 i dont think you should reffer to bernie as a person...

  • @bernie23232323232323 heyyyyyy someone can get insulted! but hey maybe it's jsut because the boobs are kinda part of this document

  • this is SO GROSS

  • the tradition was made by MEN, who are insecure, and want their wives to have no self esteem , and never leave them, because they are ugly and fat, DISPICABLE

  • i see boobs at 1:28

  • lol why dont they buy her a BIG MACK..it wouldnt take her 6 month just 6 days :)

  • @1lillyofthevalley

    This is because having high body fat is a sign of fertility.

  • How do they make the fat go to the "right" places? (I assume they mean T&A)

  • dont be fooled most nigerians are slim and most nigerian men prefer slim women. its only this very small ethnic group that does this.

  • @chichi71489 COSIGN, this fattening of women before marriage is only done in Calabar by those small ethnic tribes. Yoruba's, Hausa's and Igbo are the majority in Nigeria and don't practice this. Majority of Nigerian men prefer slim and curvy women(which is how majority of Nigerian women are like); I have never witnessed Nigerian men like FAT women & I don't think I ever will. the only ones practicing this is that small tribe in Calabar, Nigeria.

  • uh......?

  • better being fat than starving

  • its funny...skinny-ass women never get any attention....in botswana...its the really wide women that do.....funny.....

  • and u hear about all the starving ppl in africa and then theres this...hmmm

  • they like fat bitches? HAHAHHAA. but I actually do understand the logic behind this feish...

    If the woman is fat, then she is not suffering from aids.

  • @tag1989 You have a very foolish mind.The've been explaining 2 u.It's their tradition,not because of aids as u think.U are sick..I feel the tradition is old-fashioned,but still respect them

  • @lilyrosityY are you fat too?

  • @tag1989 That's not true

  • FAT FUCKS...

  • disgusting country disgusting people 

  • @crusty529 what i find disgusting is the judgmental attitude of people like you watching this video. you'd think videos like this would draw open-minded people who are interested in learning about different cultures but that obviously isn't the case for many ppl here. i made a similar comment to someone else but again, remember that nigeria has many different ethnic groups and not all of them follow this practice. i'm sure the people from the particular ethnic group that practice this would...

  • @Trumblebee find some aspects of your culture strange too

  • @Trumblebee Thank you, I watch these videos with great appreciation for culture and different ways of tradition. I am asian myself and we do things differently too, embrace the differences that ultimately brings us closer together as human beings.

    Btw, black is beautiful! :)

  • @datazndood thats wonderful, i love meeting people who think like you do. i agree 100%, black is indeed beautiful! :D

  • @Trumblebee you all that culture you fuckin idiot

    it's fuckin retarded , primitive, stupid as black crayons

    that's what it is...

  • @ericssson maybe you should look up the definition of "culture" sometime..but anyway, thanks for that well-thought out and intelligent contribution. buh-bye.

  • @Trumblebee It's best to ignore these types of people. You're dealing with people on the internet, who hide behind a computer screen and act tough. I'm positive that most people here wouldn't dare to say the things out there like they would say here.

  • @ComaLies225 that's very true. i do try my best to ignore such comments but i just can't help myself sometimes.

  • @Trumblebee wouldn't it be easier to send them to america and put them on welfare? That really seems to fatten them up....lol

  • @MrDeutchman -_-

  • @crusty529 fucking idiot. your white huh?? of course your dumbass is, only white people are that hateful...

  • @jmuckeroy and you are stupid ,so that makes us even

  • thats discusting... i really dont like fat people.... what is it with them?? open your eyes people, theyre just asking for an early trip to the grave!!! oh well, our plaent would be better off without

  • @llHyRaXll if you dont eat... you can die too... mal nutrition.... i mean we do alot that is harmful living as humans, ok so you dont agree, who cares?? what did you accomplish but putting you closed minded opinion on this video?

  • @jmuckeroy you must be fat too huh i recomend you go on a diet

  • Good to know about other cultures. as a matter of fact, female circumcision does not help at all but rather it makes the women unsexually certified. they can not be pleased by one man. U are doing your best to please them in bed, yet they laid like a dead person on the bed. Been there, done it and know what up. peace out ya.

  • wow intresting. the like there girls thick lol great vid

  • Listen for some of you people to call this stupid, you need to look at America and Europe. Lat time I've checked, thin was in and these young women are starving themselves to get into a 00.

  • and the woman who in the video speaks against this custom is herself fat :D how ironic :P

  • @fffreakhc she was forced

  • Damn, look at dem fat ass titties.

  • So many boobs O.O

    How come African boobs are allowed on youtube, but other boobs arent?

  • @kitty16226 Because they're not in a sexual context.

  • @kitty16226 because itys for informable uses not for sexuale pleasuring mister horney

  • Comment removed

  • @kitty16226 well with them its art but for us in america we have beaten up the art nudity but porn and so many other bad things that its just fucking bad with you see a person from america and any color and there nude apparently parents find it bad and flip shit out in my opinion

  • They look curvier when they're fattened up.

  • this is such a bloody lie. Calabar woman are slim and fliping sexy.

  • its sooo sexy

    lol

  • This is so unhealthy.

    Why are woman being forced to do this, against their will?

    It is really terrible to see the suffering of the women.

  • thank you for posting this.

  • East,West North,South,Central africa,we have different traditions and beliefs so my fellow brothers and sisters in humanity quit insulting each others customs,because if am to make a visit to your homeland i might just find a thing or two that am not down with.You are entitled to your opinions but kindly Respect each other.

  • They don' call em niggers for nothing!

  • dumb ass afro twats

  • retarded amimals

  • @edlabou yo mama

  • Comment removed

  • Kulcha, son! These are not my equal. Superstitions, stupid, violent, and likely to rape - what is the worth of these creatures?

  • @jjason1985 God put us here, take it up with him.

  • @jjason1985 I'm not your equal, I am a queen. So very high above you!

  • @SharonDuke1 Queen of the apes.

    Go to your fattening hut (dung hut).

  • ...and they still do this in America.

  • This is STUPID! This tradition is pure HEARTATTACKS!

  • @marko94serbia These beasts will die of AIDS before a heart-attack kills them. Fucking animals.

  • @loucracker You know you like. Why did you watch it?

  • YEAHHH! I LOVE MY BITCHES FAT, JIGGLY BOOBS!

  • @nunvikingsofthesea yeah you know we fine, but we are not bitches.

  • did she just get some braids sewed in real quick? Gone girt. lol

  • what is the purpose of the cutting?

  • @SharonDuke1 to keep them from cheatin on their husband

  • @Diarum1 How does cutting actully prevent that?

  • @SharonDuke1 Female circumcision prevents infidelity on the woman's part because it takes away her ability to enjoy sex, which is the function of the clitoris. Sex is unenjoyable and often very painful once circumcised. It also increases the risk of dying in childbirth and makes urinating and menstruating painful processes.

  • @kokolilia OMG..Thank you for taking the time to answer me. I had heard of this, but I had no idea this was the reason.

  • @SharonDuke1 Certainly! It's a method of enslaving women and binding them to their men and their duties, much like binding women's feet in China.

  • @SharonDuke1 cuts up the nerves that cause pleasure in the vag

  • no wonder slaves came from africa

  • Yeah we 2 band some culture practice in afrika n some practice need 2 b band in amerika aswell like gun possession. no 1 culture is perfect so watch wat u say about da motherland. im a liberian afrikan nice 2 meet u.

  • @Mzbrooks72 Did you understand her comments? You must have failed English comprehension in grade school because she wasn't ripping anyone apart. She was considering the issue of beauty image and culture from both perspectives. DUUUUH!

  • nigger is nigger...end of discussion

  • @RealSkyDiver2 hahaha thats like best comment

  • @RealSkyDiver2 and your ignorant ass definitely know about being a nigger don't you ? With comments like that i'm sure you whole family are a bunch of poorly kept, morally bankrupt, low-class, bitter jealous hearted niggers with not one intelligent thought to share amongst the lot of you! Just go end it all....why bother going online making ignorant comments to rile people up...you really wanna make a wave today.....jump off a bridge. Give the world a reason to remember your existance!

  • Strange,but very interesting!

  • this is weird but its their culture and we cant change it they think that fat is beautiful and u can still be pretty wwhile fat so its their culture and let it be like here we think skinny is pretty so let it be its their culture and we cant change it evry country has value and this is theirs its fine

  • The portraile of a gov..FBI agent , by an african AFFIRMATIVE ACTION NEGRO is an affrontery to all agents serving america !

  • @sandhogy omg that is the most racist thing i have even seen american fbi agent or african fbi agent there the same thing just different countries so really dont be so mean to these ppl his is the poorest country in the whole so instead of sittin at the comp. critisozing try to help dont be racis t i really hope u get alotof thumbs down on this comment i mean really how racist can u get?

  • Sounds like being in prison for six months and continuously being fed nasty shit till you're fatter than Fat Albert. *shudder*

  • The narrator has such a boring, monotone voice.

  • I know huh? I am also Nigerian and never knew that this existed until I came to America, and watched this on YouTube. Computer definitely makes this world a smaller place

  • National Geographic tits are nvr as good. :( lol

  • I'm nigerian, and didn't know this was part of our culture

  • @lenny004975 ME TOO!!! i asked my mom about it and she confirmed!

  • @lenny004975 and it may not be. a lot of non-africans viewing this probably end up thinking that this is a practice followed by -all- nigerians but obviously that isn't the case. there are tons of different and distinct ethnic groups in nigeria, not all of them follow this.

  • @lenny004975 well dosnt nigeria have alot of different cultures in itself?
