A Nigerian lady has shared her observation on how her boyfriend’s house is always stocked with food when she is around, a stark contrast to the emptiness when she is away.
The Lady known as _askoflorlah showcased the variety of dishes she prepares for her boyfriend whenever she visits his house. However, when she’s not there, he never cooks, and she often returns to find empty plates in the kitchen.
Captioning the video, she wrote: “POV: me at my man’s place vs when I’m not around. When I’m not around for days. Omo this boy no fit cook.”
