Is it normal for a man to wake up some mornings and hammer eba/poundo/semovita etc ? Because I want to know why my husband wakes up some mornings and prefers to swallow instead of eating cereal? I have no diagnosis for this one so I cannot diagnose it at all. How can a man eat swallow food in the morning and not fall asleep at work? He reckons it keeps him awake and his stomach very full. But how can someone wake up and decide to knack swallow bikonu?

Abeg tell me it is normal?

Your husband must be a farmer, cos thats what my uncle in the village eats before going to the farm.

LOL at Cantell.
Some people are wired like that especially if you have some nice soup waiting.

i love 2 eat dat too smtyms
nottin 2 worry abt

There's nothing to worry about. The type of food people refers to as 'heavy' for breakfast is what i love to eat. i don't feel dizzy/sleepy @ work.guess it's just my system.
I feel dizzy/sleepy when i take tea.
Yes, am a village woman

Dyt: i love 2 eat dat too smtyms

We know na. You from village.

i fink he dosnt wana boda himslf wit lunch all d time.

There are some mornings he does cereals and co and can't be bothered, but when this desire to swallow catches him in the middle of the night,he deals with it in the morning. Today he ate poundo with okro soup before 10am and I was like WTF Mr man?are you seriously going to your business with stomach this full? How the hell he concentrates, I have no idea.

My hubby does that only when i have cooked a soup he likes, he will not only wake up to eat poundo, buy will invite his friend also.

@Ronke

This man loves okra and egusi, but I just find it strange that he eats this huge amount of poundo in the morning.

@bolded, the man wants to live long now, you don't want him dying of exhaustion, do you? Food is fuel to human beings.

@Poster your husband is very norman. Some men prefer to swallow most of the time. Its quite normal.

Abegi abegi,what is wrong with swallowing in the morning?why i go drink tea or have cereal in the morning?i dey sick?
I have all sorts of swallow in the morning though mine is most times late B/F or early lunch.Amala,akpu,eba,kenke,semo,boiled unripe plantain are my favorite B/F meals.

by the end of the summer, i will be back to respond. i will be teaching mine how to eat nigerian dishes.

Jenny, just make sure there is strong Akpu and cold eba with nice soup in the fridge.
maybe you sapped his energy with you know

u mean all this husbands, simce to be the same my own go say, rice na bird food

It's a village thing.

Eating poundo and eba in the morning is a little aggressive. Was this common in your husband's home as a kid? Is he doing this for practical reasons like having enough fortification until a late lunch or until dinner-time? What kind of work does he do? Does it involve physical labor? Most office-type workers will fall asleep after a meal of hot poundo and okra soup in the morning. LOL.

^^^ Common ke? This dude is a typical Aussie but fell Inlove with Akpu the very first time his parents took him to visit naija as a kid. Since then it has to be swallow for him. When we were dating, the bags of garri and semo I saw in his house should have given me the red light. He does no work in the office and neither is he a manual labourer, he works for himself but he just loves his swallow food. Sometimes I wake up to the smell of Egusi or okro and I am like seriously?

@Cc
So in other words, it is normal Ehn?

@ify
Nwa Abia ka gi. I won't be surprised if you dey knack swallow 3 Times a day

@armyofone

I no talk am, where there is food talk is where you are

E never happen to any of my exes but it has happened to me. . .once I smell banga, egusi, ogbono; omo. . .na the first thing to make semolino in the morning chop.

i love good soup,i can eat eba 100 times a day....i cant stay in a house with a good soup,i must finish it with eba before i can rest.

It is normal, i only take solid food in the morning.

@tyms,maybe because he had tew much of sex ova9t

Tedyk: @tyms,maybe because he had tew much of sex ova9t

You don't say? Now, that is quite an hypothesis isn't it?

This is not a Nigerian habit. It is really confined to all these internet Nigerian types. Peeps we de comot 4 house 6 or 7am no de swallow first.
