A Nigerian man has become the center of attention on social media after he turned down a tempting offer of N10 million. The offer was to drink garri, a popular Nigerian food made from cassava flour, for a duration of seven days.
The incident was captured in a video shared by a TikTok user named @dfet.tv. In the video, the man is seen being asked if he would be willing to consume garri for a week in exchange for the substantial sum of money. In response to the offer, the man emphatically shouted, "Never!"
Following the man's refusal, a lively debate erupted on social media platforms. Some users suggested that the man misunderstood the question, while others found his rejection surprising. One user, @LORD__S.K__JOV, humorously commented, "The guy self look like garri," implying that the man resembled the food he declined to consume.
@Creamy_xoxo requested clarification of the question, stating, "Someone should explain the question to him, please." Meanwhile, @Chizoba Queen Chidinma humorously claimed, "I drink garri for a living and am yet to receive my award."
Another user, @Fearless, jokingly remarked, "This werey no understand the English," suggesting that the man did not comprehend the offer. Similarly, @Ejiro blessing comically stated, "Wetin I dey drink for free," meaning they would gladly consume garri without any monetary incentive.
@umarsahal eagerly expressed their willingness to undertake the challenge for an extended period, stating, "Bring it for 1 month, I swear." On the other hand, @Nureeesha playfully suggested that the man might be the unofficial ambassador for garri, sarcastically stating, "E resemble pesin garri ambassador self, na hin e dey form."
While some users found the man's response perplexing, such as @Becca who commented, "He no understand the question, that's the problem," others like @Jabulani humorously remarked, "But I can see a person interviewing a bag of Gari," making light of the situation.
@Expensive Silver proposed a modified version of the offer, stating, "Sha tell me to do it for 10 good years and give me 10k," suggesting that they would consider a long-term commitment for a lesser amount of money.
Notably, the reaction from @William brown was one of bewilderment, as they exclaimed, "What is the meaning of this kind of thing!!?" Similarly, @starboystarcan speculated that the man misunderstood the offer, assuming he was being asked to choose between garri and the 10 million naira, resulting in his firm rejection.
Meanwhile, @official playfully requested to be given 10k, indicating a willingness to undertake the challenge for a lesser amount. @Vmoney echoed the sentiment, pleading for someone to clarify the question for the man.
@Trexxoginni humorously inquired about the compensation for a longer duration, asking, "How much for 16 years?" In a similar vein, @geminiqueen_legend expressed a desire to participate in the competition, humorously stating, "Where dem do this competition abeg. Cos I drink gari for a living make ar win."
@miltonkutwalk suggested that the man may not have heard the question clearly, assuming there was a misunderstanding. The video and subsequent discussion have garnered significant attention online, with individuals expressing a range of opinions and reactions to the man's decision.
