A Nigerian man has averred that women taking meat first when eating with their boyfriends or husbands is a “sign of disrespect.”
The young man, identified as Uncle Sarm on the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, in his post that has elicited varying reactions, noted that no matter how many pieces of meat are in the food, a lady should wait for her spouse to choose first before she may eat meat.
He pointed out that it is disrespectful for a woman to eat meat before her partner while they are eating together.
In his words,
“When eating with your boyfriend/husband, no matter how many pieces of meat in the food, do not take meat first, it’s a sign of disrespect.”
Reacting, a Twitter user @thatijawgirl wrote,
“See rubbish talk. My boyfriend knows I don’t joke with meat. If there are 5 pcs, I own 3. Ten years down with 3 children, boyfriend now hubby does not even drag it. Y’all be giving nonsense takes based on selfishness.”
Another Twitter user @femmehuman wrote,
“You people’s parents must really be terrible people cos how did you get all this nonsense upbringings? So if your momma finishes eating before your dad, she will wash hand, wait for him to finish eating and collecting meat before she can eat meat? Ndi ara”.
