An abroad-based Nigerian lady took an unconventional approach to eating bread and stew at work to adjust her eating style around colleagues.
The video showed her using a fork to eat bread and stew, a method that deviates from the traditional approach many Nigerians know.
Typically, bread and stew are eaten with the hands by tearing off a portion of bread and dipping it into the stew. However, she explained that she opted for cutlery because she wasn’t sure how to eat comfortably in front of her colleagues.
The moment resonated with many Nigerians living abroad, who shared similar experiences of adapting their habits in professional or unfamiliar environments.
While some viewers found it relatable, others encouraged embracing cultural practices with confidence, regardless of the setting.
Netizens wondered why she was shy about eating the meal in the typical method when people abroad similarly eat some of their meals.
