Friend fell inside soakaway cooking for party

Omoh! I no know when i shout sha! God abeg oo

The X post by @Teeniiola
humorously captures a chaotic cooking scene involving a large pot over an open fire, likely for a party, with the text "POV: me and my friend fell inside soakaway cooking for party" suggesting a comedic exaggeration of a mishap, possibly inspired by real-life incidents where soakaways (underground structures for water drainage) have caused accidents, such as the 2022 OAU student death reported by Premium Times.

The video's context is enriched by cultural practices in Nigeria, where large communal cooking for events is common, and the term "soakaway" refers to a drainage system that can be hazardous if not properly maintained, as seen in the Merriam-Webster definition and the CivilWeb Soakaway Design Spreadsheet's discussion on safety factors.

The post's humor likely resonates due to the juxtaposition of everyday cooking with the unexpected danger of falling into a soakaway, a scenario that, while exaggerated, reflects real safety concerns in some regions, as evidenced by the 2020 Tori.ng article about a Nigerian man's innovative use of a soakaway for gas generation, highlighting both the utility and potential risks of such structures.

You no see ground cook you say na on top soakaway, very good.

Weren't they aware that a soak away pit was there?

We Nigerians too like to dey throw away caution into the air to even think they were cooking food that would be eaten by people even beat my imagination..

O thought it was AI initially cos wtf was that? It looked so unreal

Does POV not mean point of view?

I don't seem to understand how people use it on SM

some landlords need to serve jail term

i watch this video and my heart breaks

I told my stubborn neighbour to stop parking his car on top of a soakaway. He neglected my advice. I pray the soakaway doesn't cave in on a fateful day. 90 percent of Nigerians are nonchalant to safety.

There were cracks already round the sene yet they go ahead to cook around there you can see from the sene....

It was not safe to hang around there...

My question is.....
What happened to the rice?

Food shouldn't be wasted

With the size of bakassi they are all carrying, why won't the soak away collapse?

You are 100 percent right. Most Nigerians don't imbibe safety culture.

Regardless of anyone's speciality or career path, everyone needs to undergo training in Health, Safety and Environment.

Project Management will be a plus.

Looking at the environment should have shown them that place was already cracked.Imagine pounding on very weak ground already.

It looked Edited anyways , what AI cannot do MAY not exist.

Their is cracks everywhere coupled with heat and pressure.....

Commonsense shows that they were standing on a soakaway pit with cracks and ready to cave in.
Content creators everywia! It's like they expected it and set the camera on to capture the "moment".

Landlord asked them to cook on soak away?

Environmental awareness is very important if you want to be successful and safe in life.

So True. " God " will protect them while they do absolutely nothing to protect themselves.

to sound antagonistic, but try to incorporate some human nuances into your AI generated summary. You could prompt the AI to summarise using human commentary, so as not to appear monotonic and machine like.

That soak away has no iron work What da Bleep was that

They probably don't live there and don't know the soakaway is there. Thank God they're ok and the soakaway is not too deep

if no be mumun wey them be, why doin somtin like that untop soakaway?

your brains failed in navigating you both to a safe location. Applying heat on cemented structures is wild.

That's stupidity of the highest order, cooking on soak away

Heat weakens concrete, pure physics and chemistry at work 🤷🏿

One can easily observe the cracks on that soakaway. They ought to have seen that as a red flag. I just hope they are okay.
