I visited my previous hostel in Benin city. At night, I wanted to get something to eat. On getting to the buka I normally frequent, I realised they weren't there anymore; I got food somewhere else. As I arrived my room, I asked my roommate and a neighbour on what happened at the buka and why it is no more there, I was told that the place was demolished cos the owner of the land wants to build a hostel there. While the place was being demolished, they found 'juju' buried beneath where the buka was located. He (My neighbour) then said "She don dey wash put tey tey and people no know. No wonder her market dey move!". From there, we argued if it was real or not and he said it is real, I said it is not.

For those who attended University of Benin, you will know the famous restaurant called Toseton (this is different from the buka being talked about above). Anyway, I heard when Toseton was still operating a canopy, students and also men with flashy cars come over there to eat; if there are no clean plates, they wash their own plates themselves in order to be served, these are men on suit ready to wait oh and people as usual attributed it to 'wash put'!

What is this 'wash put'?

Wash put as people say is when a person uses his/her bodily fluid (mostly said to be menstrual blood - apologies to the women out there) to prepare a meal that is to be sold to customers. It is believed that this helps makes the business boom and those who eat from thy meal will always come back for more even though they have good cooks at home.

We did not agree if it was real or not so I decided to throw it open here. To Nairalanders, is wash put real?

qbd2:

There was this woman who fries akara very close to my block and she was selling big time. In fact she use to sell akara and koko with fried yam, plantain and all sorts and she sells like no tomorrow. We use to call her barrack tantalizer's then until I returned from school 2 years ago and heard she confessed of witchcraft and this wash put thing to, she confessed of it. She confessed in the middle of the barrack and the video was everywhere. They were actually 2 that sells the same thing but the other woman never sells. this one, people take turns to buy from her.

Abeg op wash put is real. I don't eat out except I go to popular eatries..... In fact I don't, I jejely order for take away pack.

ginawest:

Herzumpther:
Yes sir.

Feraz:
Really? What if her akara was tastier than the other woman? So it affected all buying from her that they could not look at the other woman's goods? Thanks for sharing your experience all the same. . .
What happened to the man? Beaten? Arrested? Killed?

okotv:
who should be sir who here ??

ginawest:
I tink he was arrested

okotv:
so you believe that too and on Tuesday ...

xdos:
Oh God.. I pray I have not been a victim of such.. I remember days in ESUT... There was this woman called madam Black.. The kind of crowd her eatery pulls no be here... I dont know if she is still there sha... Now am scared.. I hope she didnt do the 'wash and put tin'...

That is why patronizing all these our local eateries is very difficult for me.... 'Menstrual blood'? the heart of man is definitely very wicked!

kuuljay:
[b]if your food nor sweet if you like swim and bath put nobody go patronise you.[/b]before I put anything in my mouth I give thanks and bless it.even if na poison you put inside the food you dey waste ya time

If you think foodseller 2 is rude, come to Lagos Island, on Beckley street, a place called Iya eba restaurant. Good food, good environment, comparatively expensive when compared to other bukas and mehn, they are rude! The way they answer you, a first timer will think you are not paying for the food. Always grumpy, once you hesitate on what you want, maybe you are indecisive, they will behave like you have committed a crime but they still have a lot of customers. One day, it will affect them.

Juliearth:



If you know what they do in the dark, you would run. Do you think it's normal that they are super rude and they still have a good customer base?

1wolex85:


Please tell me.

MicroSweet:

They use pvssy water to steam meats

Are you ok now?
