A Nigerian woman experienced a mix of emotions on her birthday when her oyinbo husband surprised her with sardines on eba and okra soup made with sugar.
The thoughtful American man went above and beyond, treating his wife to local African cuisine for her celebration.
Unexpectedly, the wife was overjoyed by the heartwarming meal but found the taste of the okra soup, with its sugar and excess pepper, not meeting her expectations.
Despite the disappointment, she lovingly attempted to enjoy the almost watery eba with the sugar-based okra soup, almost shedding tears in the process.
The video has sparked reactions on social media, with users applauding the husband's thoughtfulness.
