A Nigerian man recently took to social media to mock bachelors who lack cooking skills, highlighting the rising cost of food in his area, where a single wrap of moi moi now sells for ₦1,500.
In a post shared on his page via the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, he described the current situation as particularly challenging for bachelors who rely on buying meals.
Using moi moi as an example, he emphasized how expensive food has become.
“A single wrap of moi moi at Bukka Hut is now ₦1,500. Terrible time to be a bachelor who doesn’t know how to cook,” he wrote.
He further stressed the importance of cooking as a life skill, urging mothers to teach their sons how to cook. “Cooking skills are life skills. Teach your sons how to cook,” he added.
The post sparked widespread reactions, with many social media users flooding the comment section to share their opinions on the topic.
