A Nigerian student has shared an unpleasant experience with a relative who allegedly served them mostly bony meat while others in the household got better portions during Christmas.
The student said they were unable to travel home from university for the festivities and chose to stay with the family member instead.
According to the account, a goat was slaughtered for the celebration, but the student noticed that the meat served to them was mostly bones, while other members of the household seemed to receive better cuts.
Feeling unfairly treated, the student decided to handle the situation in their own way rather than confront the relative directly.
Instead of continuing to eat what was served to them, the student ordered a separate meal with turkey and ate it in the family’s living room.
The move seemed to be a way of showing displeasure over what they saw as unfair treatment while still staying under the same roof as their relatives.
The account did not name the family member involved or reveal where the incident took place.
The story highlights how small issues around food and hospitality can make people feel unwelcome, especially during festive gatherings.
For students who are unable to travel home for Christmas, staying with relatives may be an alternative, but how welcome they feel often depends on how they are treated.
The student’s experience also raises questions about fairness and consideration when sharing food among family members and guests.
However, no further details were shared about the relative’s intentions or whether the matter was later discussed within the family.
