As the expense of living in Nigeria continues to rise, one man has devised a novel method for managing food in his household—padlocking the family’s cooking pots to regulate food consumption.
This unorthodox strategy, shared online, immediately went viral and elicited a wide spectrum of emotions.
The video, shared on @mcalways1’s Instagram account, shows cooking pans locked with padlocks, reflecting the man’s strict efforts to ration food at home.
While some found his approach amusing, others saw it as a genuine reaction to the financial difficulties that many Nigerians are experiencing.
Many individuals online expressed sympathy for the man’s position, while others seized the opportunity to raise the larger problem of how families across the country are having to cope with the rising cost of living.
