A middle-aged Nigerian man recently experienced a profound moment of discontentment when faced with the size of a N200 pounded yam wrap purchased at a local restaurant.
A video circulating on social media vividly captures the man's reaction as he acquires a portion of food from a roadside establishment, only to find its quantity unsatisfactory.
The N200 wrap of pounded yam, astonishingly resembling the size of his single bolus, was promptly consumed by the man, prompting him to exclaim, “Who amongst you served this pounded yam and called it N200? Life is not even this hard. Just swallow, and that’s it? This is debt!”
This incident has triggered a cascade of reactions on social media, with users expressing solidarity and understanding, possibly reflecting the challenges of the current economy in the country.
