If you know you are going there, make sure to finish one bowl of Eba or fufu cause the line is unbelievably long.
Side note: do you remember those UN Somalia food aid videos??
If you don’t mind being in such situations and being recorded then that’s the place to be 🤍— Good-Bad-Guy (@xristwiz06) February 23, 2024
The crowd there is crazy. People all the way from ikeja and environs full there.

It’s a cause for concern, according to these individuals:
Nigerians are now living like peasants in a land blessed beyond imagination, we now run around looking for where food items are being given for free or cheap. It’s fine oh since we all have agreed to that fact and we sabi adjust sef. 💯 👌🏿
