Nigerian food became the topic of discussion after a man tried it in a TikTok video. Online users shared their thoughts on the TikTokker's Nigerian food review.

In a TikTok video shared by @kahmoh_mofana13, he was trying Nigerian food. The food reviewer tasted fufu and okra. Fufu is made from pounded yams.

"It's hot, I am not sure what I am eating...I tried, but it's a zero from me."
