A Nigerian student has recounted an unpleasant experience with a family member who allegedly served them mostly bony meat while other people in the household enjoyed better portions during Christmas.
The student shared the experience after being unable to travel home from university for the festive season and deciding to stay with a relative instead.
According to the account, the family slaughtered a goat for the celebration, but the student noticed that the meat served to them was mostly bones, while other household members appeared to receive better cuts.
Feeling unfairly treated, the student decided to take matters into their own hands rather than confront the family member directly.
Student takes a different approach to the situation
Recounting the incident, the student said, “i just vex, go order food with turkey dey chop am for their parlor”.
Rather than continue eating the food served to them, the student ordered a separate meal with turkey and ate it in the family’s parlour.
The decision appeared to be a way of expressing displeasure over what they perceived as unfair treatment while staying under the same roof as their relatives.
The account did not identify the family member involved or disclose where the incident occurred.
Christmas food experience sparks conversation about family treatment
The experience highlights how seemingly small incidents involving food and hospitality can leave people feeling unwelcome, particularly during festive gatherings.
For students who cannot travel home during Christmas, staying with relatives may provide an alternative, but the quality of their experience can depend on how they are treated.
The student’s account also raises questions about fairness and consideration when sharing food among family members and guests.
However, no further details were provided about the relative’s intentions or whether the issue was eventually discussed within the family.
