A young Nigerian woman has taken to social media to share a story about how she was disqualified from an event simply because she wasn’t considered ‘fully Yoruba.’

Sharing in multiple tweets on X (Twitter), she disclosed that her school selected her to represent Oyo State by delivering a speech at the at the Lekan Salami Stadium in 2017.

According to her, she was in SS1 when this happened, and it was a huge moment for her, and both she and her family were excited.

Her father, proud and supportive, immediately bought everything she needed, from new socks and sandals to a fresh haircut, but things quickly took a turn.

After submitting her details, including her full name, and her mother’s maiden name organizers rejected her just three days to the event because she wasn’t ‘fully Yoruba’.

Although, her principal tried to push back but the organizers stood their ground later shifting the excuse to say they wanted someone from Oyo State.

However, on the day of the event, which she attended with a teacher and her principal, another girl from Ekiti State was chosen to give the speech, and parts of the speech she had written were used.

That moment marked a turning point in her life, knowing that she will never be regarded as fully Yoruba.

She dropped her third name, ‘Toyin and chose ‘Ihuoma,’ referring to herself as Half cabbage, half mango.

A Nigerian influencer has been left in shock after the pepper soup he ordered in Ikenne, Ogun State, came as an unexpected food combo.

What was supposed to be a spicy delicacy took a surprising twist when he discovered macaroni floating in the soup.

The clip that he shared via his Instagram story has generated hilarious reactions from fans and internet users who came across the post.

Trying to understand when macaroni became a key ingredient in making pepper soup, he called out chefs and food enthusiasts to explain the unusual combo.

While some of his fans jokingly referred to the meal as ‘macasoup’, others said it wasn’t entirely strange, but the restaurant should have asked if he wanted macaroni in his pepper soup or not.

Below are some of the comments;

“Pls don’t make a fuzz about this…it’s normal to see macaroni and potatoes in pepper soup….sha wan use pepper-soup trend”

“This is why is very important you relate with your clients what and what you use as sides for pepper soup so they can pick by themselves… Allergy’s are real and as a food vendor questions like this don’t go unasked from our customers care service, to avoid misconception.”

“That combo is the best, Especially the ones in Remo bobo don’t complain we love it na u no sabi better thing”
