Na wa, there are actual situations like this in impoverished areas of the world. God help us.

Omo,. Rice was a luxury, we used to eat it once in six months back then with Grandma; na big fight o, Grandma would share it to avoid cheating. Our normal everyday food was Amala (cassava flour)

SAPA shame on you

Only time i have seen this was back in abj when i gave a group of almajiri boys numbering about 15 some money. They bought food and shared like this. They would pass the one plate around till it got to the last kid... I had PTSD from watching those kids. OP if u grow up like this mhenn. I pray God erases the memory completely from ur mind

That cant be a meal. Maybe someone gave them rice and then they decided to share cos some people eat slowly.

If you were born with silver spoon you will never understand this.

I can relate perfectly. Not a matter of silver spoon, it is an informal way of teaching children how to respect boundaries. Damn I remember this!

Nope. That's a way to share small amount of food to children those days, especially in the 80s and early 90s. In dkingbthis, you also teach them lesson about life; how to respect boundaries.

Only those that were born with SAPA spoon would understand the picture.

I wasn't born with those spoon
And Have eaten once today, which was my Dinner.
The correct answer to those divided foods mean.... one On portion in the mrng
2nd in the Afternoon
3rd to serve as Dinner.

ShawttySoFyne:

Then you were probably born in the 90's

Why wouldn’t anyone understand this?

This is three portions of delicious looking jollof rice. For 3 mouths to enjoy in the same bowl.

This Life....


E get as e be...

I can relate very very well....


But, thank God for everything...today....

Abyounghammed:

In some families siblings' eat their foods together in one plate however occasions arise when some rush the food resulting in others consuming less The siblings within themselves may agree on dividing the food equally or their parents may divide the food for them The eldest takes 1st and others according to seniority

Almost like South Africa flag.

There is one very common language that must be spoken at the sharing table.

"OYA PACK UR OWN"

Oh God! That phrase is as old as man.

Nostalgic!

Do not glorify poverty! Always Strive to improve your condition irrespective of what strata you belong to.

Might I also add, that there’s nothing concerning about the picture you put up. It only highlights the laziness of whoever did the sharing. It can be served in different plates as well.

All for clout.

Still the same thing. The same hand worked against them now. As it was in '84 so it is today, 21.

We fail history and we bound to repeat it.

Still from the indomie perspective. The use of tray to share had a very significant role; it shows the impartiality of the person who does the sharing as everyone will see and bear witness because spoons do lie.

Indomie generation spotted.
Rice,abacha and ground nuts were mostly shared this way...if you shift your eyes,the other person will shift or corner some to his side hahahaha.
