Let’s tell you about how a Nigerian woman studying abroad almost got in trouble for being a kind, generous flatmate.
So twitter user @MsNemah shared a detailed narrative of how she was just eating her peppersoup and minding her own business when said flatmate said he wanted some.
‘That’s how I entered problem this evening..’ she began. ‘So I was having peppersoup for dinner and my oyinbo flatmate said he wanted…’
Edakun sir, this pepper soup has plenty pepper inside o, you cannot eat it sir. But did he hear?
I told him its spicy oo. He said NO he can handle spice, he loves spice. I was like pic.twitter.com/QYZp1nJbc8

Before they’ll say she’s stingy, she gave him some of her tasty, spicy pepper soup and the brother was really excited.
‘Then I gave him the peppersoup, 1min in he was like YEAH! I love it, blah blah blah. 2mins in he was o it’s really hot. Can’t stop’, she continued.
Oh well, maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea, she thought, as he seemed to be enjoying it a lot.
But then our story teller was stunned when the said flatmate started crying like a baby, saying he wasn’t doing well at all.
‘3mins in he started crying, and started saying he feels like he is about to pass out..’
In the end, they had to rush him to the emergency room, as things were going from bad to worse. The shock came when the nurse on duty said they had to involve the police.
‘The nurse says she has to involve the police that they are treating it as food poisoning. I’m dead’, she narrated sadly to her twitter followers as she sat in the emergency room listening to her flatmate’s neighbour cry
‘Now my flatmate says his tummy is burning, his friend is crying, Nurse lady says I should go bring the spices. I’m being escorted home.’
On getting home, the spices and leftover pepper soup were picked up as evidence as they matched her down to the police station.
The controversial spices were then seized and kept as evidence to be tested at their lab the following day, after she was made to eat some of the leftover to be sure she hadn’t purposefully poisoned her flatmate (you never can tell, maybe she low-key hates the guy for stealing her being such a beggi beggi).
She was then allowed to leave, but on a few conditions
‘Update:about to let me go bt with conditions. I must report to the station for 3 consecutive days. I must report symptom to my GP immediately’, she wrote.
Anyway, you won’t believe how the whole matter ended. She went back to the hospital to check on her ‘poisoned’ flatmate and guess what? He had been discharged.
‘Peep this guys: MY FUCKING FLATMATE GOT HOME BEFORE ME!’
Well, I can’t even understand all this oyinbo people. At least next time that one won’t go about begging for something he has never eaten before. Lesson learnt.
Nice one, MsNemah.
