As the cost of living in Nigeria continues to soar, one man has come up with a unique way to manage food in his household—by padlocking the family’s cooking pots to control food consumption.
This unusual method, shared online, quickly went viral and sparked a wide range of reactions.
The video, posted on @mcalways1’s Instagram account, shows cooking pots secured with padlocks, symbolizing the man’s strict efforts to ration food in his home.
While some found his approach humorous, others saw it as a serious response to the financial challenges many Nigerians are facing.
Many people online expressed sympathy for the man’s situation, while others used the moment to discuss the broader issue of how families across the country are struggling to cope with the rising cost of living.
