Nigerian lady showcases dirty kitchen
In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian lady made public a video of a dirty kitchen belonging to a man she had visited.
She said the man claimed to be a wealthy fellow on Instagram, but the state of his kitchen betrayed that adjective.
In the video, the lady moved from the sink to his fridge, which was almost empty save for a few items, adding that she ran away upon seeing the kitchen.
In her words:
"POV: He's rich on Instagram, but his kitchen looks like this!! Nah I'm out. We ain't dealing."
When a netizen enquired if she was out of the man's place, she replied: "I ran and never went back."
