A video of some young men eating fufu and soup from a cemented hole dug on the ground has sparked an uproar online.
The video shared on the popular app, TikTok, captured the men eating with full concentration while gisting at the farm.
“As usual, we are in the farm. You can see the fufu, see meat. We are here”, one of the farmers noted in the video.
The clip has however gotten tongues wagging on social media as netizens condemned the farmers for being so unhygienic to eat on the ground. Some others claimed it could be some kind of ritual.
