Eating meat is culturally associated with wealth & prosperity in Nigeria.
In parts of the SE where i come from, some titled men will not eat food without meat in it.
even if they are vegetarian (mostly due to medical reasons).

I was told a story of this Poor Red Cap Chief whose wife had to recycle Bone in their soups so that the meat criteria could be met.

so yes in Nigeria, If u dont buy meat with ur food its taken that all might not be well with your finances.
especially considering that in some restaurants, meat starts about 50% sometimes stretching to 500% the cost of the chow.(depending on specs sha)
