A Nigerian lady has shared her experience with two men who repeatedly checked on her during a difficult day, revealing why she believes asking a woman if she has eaten can sometimes mean more than just showing concern.
In video shared on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that she was at her shop having a hectic day when her two suitors called to check on her.
According to her, one of the men had called repeatedly to ask if she had eaten. Although she admitted she had genuinely not eaten, she clarified that she was not trying to manipulate them into buying her food.
“One of them called me seven times and was still asking, ‘Have you eaten, have you eaten?’ I said no and did not show workings still. He said, ‘Oh, you know you said you have ulcer, eat oo, so the ulcer won’t come back,’” she recounted.
The lady questioned why the men would repeatedly ask whether she had eaten without offering to get her something.
She explained that when a man calls a woman and asks if she has eaten, it could sometimes be an opportunity for the woman to mention something she is craving.
“If you call a girl and ask, ‘Have you eaten?’ it’s two things involved. It could be that I have really not eaten, or it could be that I want to use it as an avenue for you to get me something I’ve been craving. Food shouldn’t define who a woman is,” she added.
Her comments have sparked discussion online, with some people relating to her explanation of what asking whether a woman has eaten can sometimes imply.
