Even though we know the rice seller cook from Ajegunle slum . Have you heard that any Lagosian die of food poisoning before?

What do I even take out of this? Where crowd is much does not necessarily mean the food is good o. I could remember years back when my boss used to send me from Ikoyi to buy food from one popular street seller beside Ghana High Commission, Onikan. As young as I was then, I strongly believed there was something else in the woman's food. You'd need to see the calibre of people that would queue with plates in hand to buy food. The woman is Egun. Me I fear o. Let's somebody tell me this is FTC. Wow

SporaD8:

I remember the woman well well. There is nothing special about her food. infact the untidy environment and her slatternly worker is a huge turn-off to me. But the way my colleagues will literally drag me with them to the place during lunch make me really suspicious.
You should have seen the way she will even be telling managers in three piece suit off like a naughty school kid yet they will still find their way there the next day.

Never! Nehi nogasin(never in Indian). I have discovered that shit ain't for everybody. I remember several years ago at a place in gbaja, Surulere where we went to eat. I told my friends I wasn't going to eat but they started talking about me always forming butty and pointing at big men that had parked their cars just to come eat at that place... After much talk, I reasoned with them and ordered my plate of food and ate. It didn't take too long for my stomach to start acting funny. I was able to manage to hold up and when I got home, I started stooling seriously. I'd known my body was going to react to it but I tried to be humble like my friends preached to me and my humility landed me in toilet. Couple of months ago too, I went out with about 8 of my colleagues. They started talking about how I don't eat out and out of embarrassment(i don't like when I'm in a place where most of the people are street/rugged folks and people start trying to call me butty or talk in a way that tends to give hint about my family background...) of not wanting people to start sizing me up, I ordered what they were eating too, just to blend in despite knowing it was trouble... It wasn't up to 15mins after eating, I started feeling nauseous and wanted to throw up. I kept suppressing it and as soon as we got to the gate of my friend's office, I dashed out from the car to look for tomtom and I bought 200 naira worth of tomtom and started chewing it. My friend noticed and was laughing. I don't know what it is but I think there's something they use in cooking in all these local bukas that makes some people fall sick after eating. Maybe it's the ajinomoto/vedan seasoning. But whatever it is, if you understand your body system and you know you are likely going to fall sick after eating, pls avoid it. Look for biscuits and snacks to eat if you can't afford the food of a decent eatery or restaurant where the food is a bit pricey but neat and standard. Not everyone's body system can adjust to any kind of food cooked anywhere. Know your body system and treat it properly.
