There are over 7 billion people on earth today with obviously diverse cultures and ways of life. But why should food cause a huge fight between people of different nationalities?
It all started when Love & Hip-Hop Star, Tammy Rivera shared a picture of a plate of Pounded Yam and Egusi on her Instagram.
Those who found it disgusting commented saying the egusi looked really nasty.

And Nigerians brought the rage of their ancestors (and fuel queues), calling them slaves for daring to bash their beloved Egusi soup.

And then it became a full blown war between Nigerians and anybody that thought Egusi looked gross.

And people’s education and English speaking skills were questioned.

And while this messy fight was going on, Tammy explained to a fan who really wanted to know how she fell in love with Egusi.

When people that have to queue all night for fuel are calling people with constant supply of electricity slaves.
