‘Nigerians eat weird foods’ – BBTitans’ Thabang

Thabang Mazibuko, a former Big Brother Titans contestant from South Africa, said he was surprised to learn that Nigerians consume “weird” meals.

The Sports Analyst claimed that residing with Nigerians in the BBTitans home opened his eyes to the country’s rich cultural diversity.

Thabang stated in an interview with Hip TV that he was surprised by the cultural parallels and contrasts between South Africans and Nigerians.

One of the peculiar things the 21-year-old stated he learned while residing with his Nigerian housemates was that they put sugar instead of salt in their popcorn.

Thabang said;

“I learned about how rich in culture Nigeria is. I thought South Africa is place that is rich in culture and great history but Nigeria has so many different cultures, so many different traditions; they have a really rich history and that is something that I learned that I don’t know.

“I learned about the different foods, food ethics and the way they eat food. I found out that in Nigeria they eat popcorn with sugar and peanuts. That’s weird but okay, cool.

“The biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of similarities between us and they things that we eat. But custard I think it is the same thing but we eat it as a dessert but they [Nigerians] eat it as breakfast. That was also pretty shocking.”
