Baby Aisha, several weeks ago went viral and became the talk of the town after sharing photos of her plus size breast on social media.

She stated that there have been certain instances where her plus-size friends realized that they’ve been dating one particular guy for a long time.

According to her, they have noticed that most of the notorious men happen to be Ghanaian men who live abroad.

“There is this guy who lives abroad. He has proposed to a lot of plus-size girls in Ghana but what they don’t know it that we the plus-size people, we are networked. Usually when we meet we talk,” PM disclosed in an interview on Accra based Yen.com.

“One person can say I am dating this person and when they show you the picture, you will realize that it is the same person proposing to 3 or 4 people in our network. So I do not entertain social media dates or chats,” she said.

She advised these notorious men to learn to stick to one woman and avoid trying to date plus-size women with the intention of using and dumping the else she together with her network will expose them.

The news making the rounds is that because of her size, PM was unable to join her first and second runners up—Gaza and Maafia on the trip which forms part of their prize package because she could not get a seat on Emirates, the airline transporting them.

When PM emerged winner of this year’s edition of Di Asa, the dance competition for plus-sized women organised by Atinka TV, part of her prize package was a sponsored trip to Dubai.

However, that was not to be the case as PM has missed out on the trip while her runners-up are having an amazing time in Dubai, a situation that the co-host of Di Asa, Ama Gyenfa Ofosu Darkwa, popularly known as Embosuohemaa, explained on the station on Sunday, November 17 was due to her size.

According to her, PM was unable to join them on the trip because she could not get a seat on the airline due to her size.

“To the people who are saying Atinka Media Village denied PM a trip to Dubai, please it is not true. The reason PM, winner of Di Asa did not make it was her size.

“She had her visa, ticket, pocket money, everything; we went through the process only to be told that she could not fit into the seat.

“We offered to buy an extra seat for her and still she could not fit. Then we asked to buy three and we were told it was not possible. Why would we bring the runners-up here and leave the winner of Di Asa herself out?

“However, we are not leaving PM out of this whole fun. We plan on giving her a version in any way we can,” she said.

Embosuohemaa also used the opportunity to urge transport services to start making arrangements for people of all sizes.

“I want to use this chance to urge transport services to start considering these things. There are different people with different shapes and sizes and their freedom of movement should not be restricted,” she stated.

When Graphic Showbiz got in touch with PM, winner of Di Asa 2019, she stated that what Embosuohemaa said was not entirely the case.

“That is not what really happened. I am aware of what she said but I feel she said what she said out of a good heart, trying to put herself in my shoes etc. But that is not entirely true,” she said.

When asked to give details of what really transpired, she answered, “I really do not want to talk about it or go into details but in due time, everything will come out.

“But what happened is part of the reasons I will be embarking on a campaign which will focus on stigmatisation of plus-sized women, and it will kick off very soon.”

PM, who is 25 years, added that it was time plus-sized women were given attention.

“I want to use my campaign to let the world know that there are different people with different body types and everyone should be given equal access to certain things.

“I would want to use my platform to tell women who are like me to learn to love themselves and believe in whatever they do,” she stated.

She also noted that she had been given all that the organisers of Di Asa promised her, saying: “I was given everything as promised, and the organisers do not owe me anything.”

Officials of Atinka Media Village organisers of Di Asa told Graphic Showbiz when contacted that in the coming days, an official statement about the issue would be released.

When Emirates was contacted on the issue, a spokesperson for the airline told Graphic Showbiz, “we respect our customers’ privacy and cannot discuss specific customer details or cases.

“Emirates places the highest standards on in-flight safety and as part of this, it is a requirement that all passengers are safely and comfortably seated with their seatbelt fastened.

“An industry practice for passengers who cannot be accommodated in a single seat due to their size, is for them to purchase an extra seat for their own safety and comfort, should a seat be available.”

In a tell-it-all press release signed by Executive Producer and Managing Director, Albert Kwamena Dwumfour, the media house revealed that Precious Mensah, popularly known as PM, was discriminated against by Emirates Air.

However, the organisers said they were willing to go to any extent to get PM on the flight including upgrading her ticket to first-class after officials at Emirates revealed they could not complete the check-in because of safety reasons.

The organisers say they saw the treatment meted out to PM as unfair, unprofessional and a discrimination against her, “particularly when the Airline Ticketing Agent had prior knowledge of who they had issued the tickets to,” the statement read.

Contrary to media reports, the organisers also pointed out that they had informed Emirates ahead of time that the tickets procured were for plus-size women.

Atinka Media Village based on the unpleasant experience, has called on the Gender, Children and Social Protection Ministry and other stakeholders to add their voices in helping to curb “stigmatisation and discrimination against plus-sized persons especially in Ghana and across the world.”

DI ASA QUEENS’ TRIP TO DUBAI AND MATTERS ARISING 

The Attention of Atinka Media Village, operators of Atinka TV, Atinka 104.7FM, Agyenkwa 101.9FM in Kumasi, Ahotor 102.3FM in Takoradi and Atinkaonline.com has been drawn to some inaccurate information circulating in sections of the Media with regard to the inability of Precious Mensah (PM), Winner of Di Asa Season 3 to travel to Dubai with the other winners as part of their winning package.

As promoters or organizers of Atinka TV’s Di Asa Reality Show, we hereby take the opportunity to set the record straight owing to our commitment to the public, sponsors, our loyal viewers, family and friends of Di Asa contestants: 

• We state unequivocally that AMV has not made any official statement or comment with regard to the issues currently running on various media platforms prior to this release. 
• The speculations are, therefore, a figment of the imagination of some persons who are not privy to the facts and making statements based on ignorance, lack of information or have intentions to cast a slur on the hard-won reputation or image of PM and the Di Asa Brand.  
• It must be on record that we the Organizers of Di Asa – AMV acted in good faith in accordance with the promise made to our Queens – a tour of Dubai as part of the winning package.
• All the necessary arrangements to enable them embark on this important tour were duly provided. Key among them were Visas, a Four-star Hotel Accommodation in Dubai, Per Diem, Money for shopping and Flight tickets based on the advice of the Emirates Airline ticketing Agent. 
• Our Queens including PM went through all the departure formalities on the travel date with representatives of the ticketing agent present to assist them in the departure formalities. This is because we had informed them about the sizes of the Queens and the need for special seating.
• At about 5:30 pm, a few minutes to boarding time, when all the queens had completed the check-in process, an Emirates official, informed us (AMV) that the Airline could not complete the Check-in process for PM without offering tangible or logical reasons.
• When pushed further and asked why, they informed us PM could not board the plane due to safety reasons. When we enquired further, they said they were in consultation with their superiors at the Emirates Office at Mövenpick Hotel in Accra for further directives.
• We further asked them if the problem had to do with seating and if procuring additional seat could solve the problem, but the Emirates officials at the airport said there was no need for that (it must be emphasized that PM was present and witnessed all these engagements with the Emirates officials).  
• It must also be on record that the airline ticketing agent had been duly informed that the tickets were for plus-sized passengers (Di Asa Season 3 winners).
• Around 6:15 pm, still in the presence of PM, the Emirates officials came up with an option – per the official’s statement, the only option available then per consultations with the Airline Superiors back at the office, was to go by first class (Please bear in mind that the departure time was 6:50 pm).  At this point, we decided to adhere to the directives by offering our accumulated mileage to upgrade our Queen’s seat to first class. We offered to upgrade our Queen’s seat to first class with our accumulated mileage due to the timing of the information as AMV was ready to fly our Queen to Dubai at all cost. Emirates Airline again denied us this offer saying we could not use our mileage at that time and still requested us to pay a top-up of almost $10,000 which is equivalent to GH¢ 57,000 at the last minute for the First Class.
• We saw this as an unfair treatment, unprofessional and discrimination against our Queen, particularly when the Airline Ticketing Agent had prior knowledge of who they had issued the tickets to. 
•  When it became very clear that our Queen had missed her flight, officials of Emirates then advised us to take her to the Emirates office at Mövenpick Hotel the following day, with a further explanation that they had sent a mail to their superiors and that they had been advised to bring her over for further assessment and advice.  This, we did the next morning with the high hope that our Queen could travel on that very day.
• We, therefore, decided to keep her in a hotel that night in anticipation that she could travel the next day.
• We reported at the Emirates Office before 10:00am the following day to ensure our Queen travelled, but as at 2:00pm, the Airline had still not communicated to us their position or given us reasons for the undue delay even though they had done the necessary assessment by fitting her in a dummy seat at the corporate office.
• Later, at 4:35 pm, they advised us to let PM take the lead to the airport while we waited for confirmation from the Emirates Office in Dubai on the assessment report sent via email.
• So we (AMV) advised PM’s mother to take her to the airport while we waited at the Emirates office at Mövenpick for confirmation.
• After going through all this stress and after PM had checked in at the Airport to begin boarding formalities, at about 5:45 pm, we (AMV) received a call from the Emirates Office in Accra that their superiors in Dubai had directed them to take an additional $2000 dollars for two economy seats and extension of seat belts when it was few minutes to departure, a request we had earlier made but was rejected by the Emirates officers the previous day.
• As we issue this release, her ticket is still with the Emirates authorities at their Corporate Office in Accra.
• We consulted our legal team immediately who advised us to hold on with any additional payment or commitment since Emirates was acting in bad faith.
• Fellow Ghanaians, the issue or our challenge here is not about the money or additional commitment requested by Emirates Airline but we realized that the unfair treatment meted out to our Queen by Emirates Airline did not necessitate any further engagement or commitment under the circumstance. 
• We will communicate our next line of action in due course as our legal team is considering various options to assert our rights and that of our Queen.
• We want to assure PM that as our celebrated Queen, we will do everything possible to accord her the prize she deserves including but not limited to adequate compensation by Emirates Airline and fight all forms of discrimination against plus-sized persons.

Based on the above facts and information presented, we (AMV) call on all Ghanaians, Government, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ministry of Aviation, Civil Society Groups, Stakeholders to help curb issues of this nature and rule out any stigmatization and discrimination against plus-sized persons especially in Ghana and across the world.

“We respect our customers’ privacy and cannot discuss specific customer details or cases,” the statement released Wednesday said.

The 2019 winner of Accra-based Atinka TV’s plus size women reality show ‘Di Asa’ was disallowed from boarding an Emirates flight to Dubai because of her size.

On her relationship status, PM revealed she was single but has “a lot of guys knocking on her door” thus she is hopeful God will provide a right man for her.

Contrary to what most girls’ desire in a man, PM said “When I am searching for a man I don’t care whether he is tall, short and caring but he must have good character and  money because without money there is no relationship,” she expressed

To her, she does not discriminate in her search for a partner because she does not want to be discriminated against.

PM who has been in the news lately after she was declined the chance to board a Dubai-bound Emirates flight has disclosed that despite the unfortunate experience at the airport, she still views her size as a blessing.

In an interview with online media portal Yen.com, PM recounted how she was stigmatized during her days in school.

“My size has been a blessing to me and I’ll say God has created me at the right time and I’m on the right planet,” she said confidently.
