A Nigerian man has revealed a harrowing childhood experience after he unintentionally avoided eating a meal that later turned out to be contaminated.
Details of the Incident
According to his post, his mother’s close friend brought him a full serving of rice, which he left untouched. When he returned to the shop the following day, the entire dish had darkened and was later identified as poisoned.
He quoted the friend’s alleged words: “My mom’s best friend, who later started a business similar to my mother’s, gave me a plate of rice that I forgot to eat. The next day, when we returned to the shop, the food had turned black, indicating it had been poisoned.”
The post quickly attracted nearly one million views, prompting a flood of comments from other users.
