Thabang, a popular South African reality star, recently expressed his surprise at the unique food combinations enjoyed by Nigerians. Having spent several weeks in Nigeria after a reality show, Thabang, along with fellow South African housemates Tsatsi and Blue Aiva, shared his experience.
During his time in Nigeria, Thabang was astonished by the "weird" food combinations consumed by Nigerians. He also highlighted the cultural similarities and differences between South Africans and Nigerians, expressing his admiration for Nigeria's rich cultural history.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Thabang shared his insights, saying:
"I learned about how rich in culture Nigeria is. I thought South Africa was a place with rich culture and a great history, but Nigeria has an abundance of diverse cultures, traditions, and a truly rich history that I was not aware of.
"I discovered various foods, food etiquettes, and their way of eating. I found out that Nigerians eat popcorn with sugar and peanuts, which is weird but cool," he chuckled.
"One of the biggest surprises was realizing the similarities between our cuisines. For example, we have custard as a dessert, while Nigerians eat it for breakfast. That was quite shocking."
Thabang's Nigerian experience has provided him with a newfound appreciation for the cultural richness and culinary diversity present in the country.
