Illiterates created fattening rooms. And those who still practice this barbaric act today are not different

Too much fat kills, ladies and gentle men!

ApexTitan:
Efik men probably had a fetish for BBW back in the days past. That fetish probably must have waned after the marriage aged and excitement of the wedding had waned. By then the realities of a fat wife would have started hitting home, the shortness of breath, the constant sweating(especially in those days without electricity or air conditioners) and the aura of unattractiveness that usually accompanies overweight people would have taken their toll the man's libido.

He must have compensated by over working his imagination, wondering what the supple women of other tribes must feel like, heck he must have considered the young maidens in his land, the ones who weren't eligible yet for the fattening rooms. Ah, to be with a woman whose weight didn't get in the way of the indulgence of this very primal urge... These thoughts must have crossed his mind. Alas he was stuck in a society that had directed that overweight women were desirable, how dare he break free. The women would not allow it, they had successfully turned a condition that ordinarily should have counted against them into an advantage - by being fat they (according to custom) still had some currency in the attraction marketplace. Afterall wasn't it the man that said he wanted big booty?

The Efik man of today must really be thankful for evolving customs.

true that.

Redoil:
Somebody should please introduce me to any type of food to eat, any type of strong drink to drink for me to fat?

You have need of around 10 kg Coconut oil or Palm oil. If the oil is stiff, it must melt at 37°C, otherwise you can not use it.
