"If you no chop, you no fit lose weight and body no be firewood, e need gas."

"Truth about workout is it all depends on what you intend to achieve. For someone who intends to bulk up, you need a lot of food(carbs) at least 5-6 meals per day. Then people who want to trim are the ones to cut down on carb intake."
@Obinna_Ogwuike said:
"This is a short touching story of how only few Nigerians have six packs."
@XerxesEmperor said:
"The place is too tight. Maybe they were celebrating something."
@tvofeek said:
"Ahh I see why everyone dey go gym."
Briefly News also reported an extremely hilarious clip of a man swallowing big pieces of bread quickly has been shared online. In the clip that was shared by @_just_pat, the man appears to be absolutely famished while completely unaware that he was being watched and recorded.
"This guy out here "inhaling" the bread," the hilarious clip was captioned.
As they do, many local Twitter users rushed to the comment section where they were soon cracking jokes about the clearly hungry fella.
