“Women used to be ashamed to buy food” – Verydarkman on Hilda Baci’s saga
Social media critic, Verydarkman (VDM) has weighed in on a viral complaint by Omotayo Zinnat regarding a bowl of pepper soup from celebrity chef Hilda Baci’s restaurant, My Food By Hilda.
Omotayo, in a video, had shared her disappointment after ordering N6,000 worth of pepper soup from Hilda’s restaurant.
According to her, the portion was small, unappealing, and even described as resembling “dog vomit.” She explained that she had a tough day at work, wasn’t feeling well, and opted for the dish because she was too tired to cook.
VDM, reacting to the incident, agreed that the food portion was insufficient and lacked appeal, especially coming from a prominent name like Hilda Baci.
However, he turned the focus back to Omotayo, reprimanding her for ordering food instead of cooking. He criticized modern women for relying on takeout, claiming that in the past, women prioritized home cooking.
He further argued that such habits could impact their future households, insinuating that women who order food before marriage might struggle to cook for their families later. VDM labelled the situation as a reflection of “modern civilization” and “wokeness,” which he blamed for changing traditional values.
Wokeness is women ordering food online – Verydarkman
“This world don really spoil o. Thinking about it, they said na wokeness and civilization. Before, women dey shame to say dem buy food for restaurant. Dem dey always look am like say dem dey pay for another woman’s food.
“No matter how tired a woman is before, she go cook for herself as a single woman. Because she go dey prepare herself for when she is married; would I tell my husband and children that I am tired; let’s order food. It doenst make sense.
“But look at this one, she come out freely to say how much is kilo of chicken? Why cant you use the enrgy to cook even if it’s noodles. As a woman, you have no right to make such a complaint.”
