I think it's the Nigerian version of Marshmallow Test for delayed gratification. Nigerian parents want to see if you can wait until the end of a meal to eat the 'special' part of the meal. |

Orientation from parents which get passed down over generations. Just like the short haircut parents and teachers force on children not realizing that the act stems from colonial masters forcing us to get rid of our hair and individuality. |

The truth is that, after you get tired of eating, there will always be room for the meat but after eating the meat, you easily get tired of the food. That's the reason children are made to eat their food first before the meat. Even if they stop eating and the parent think they have not eaten enough and ask them to eat more so they can eat the meat, they will. The meat na inspiration and bargaining chip. 1 Like |

My 4 years old kid will finish her meat even before she touches her meal. Or sometimes she takes both together since the meat is all sliced. But definitely, she will finish the meat first |

Naturally when you are about to eat energy giving food is what u pick up first to quench ur hunger and it’s such carbohydrates are the major energy food therefor me you go for them first, it happens all over the world not just Nigeria alone although Nigeria’s own is more of being broke |

So this is something I've actually thought of and even discussed with a friend. Now. this practice has both a negative and positive effect, I will start with the negative effect. This practice makes people( especially children) put too much importance and value on meat( I believe this moulded us into thiefs that specialized in stealing meat from pot) no wonder most of our parents fried and hid Christmas and Salah meat in a cooler and place it in their rooms but we still dey move or slim-fit the meat sha(nowhere is safe) , I also believe it led to even stealing of Milk, Milo, Bournvita etc.. Positive effect. It really helped a lot of us to delay gratification until the job is done like, "if I no finish this rice I no go touch this meat"��.. This has in a way help us work for our reward while putting pleasure aside until the reward is achieved..... I believe this practice Is common in middle and lower class family Most well to do families trained the children to see all this things as normal and not prioritize it, that's why you will see rich families with bread, apple, cornflakes, groundnut, milk, sugar, Milo etc.. on their dinning table and nobody will even be interested in it. If nah my house, we go don move am inside nylon or pocket go outside go enjoy yasef ... Do you think this practice is actually a positive or negative practice ? Like for positive share for negative 1 Like

It encourages too much emphasise on the meat content of the food... It also encourages some to eat too much meat and not really appreciate all foods... It is also part of poverty mentality! Big men and rich people might display a large number and varieties of meats with their meals but some of them are steal with that poverty mentality - like I am now rich, so i can eat whatever and however much I want... We do not need that much meat to have a balanced nutritious meal... I do not subscribe to oversized pieces of meat - that is very wasteful or look greedy and common. I tend to dice my meat and eat them along with the food - even if you give me a big piece of meat; I use my knife to cut little bits off and eat along. I do not like shoving big pieces of meat in my face and eating like a carnivore with sauce or grease all over the face and hand. I also tend to return meats if any left after the meal - i can always have it later as snack or in another meal. We should eat less meat for our health, cut the cost of food and to conserve the environment and for those in the south to depend less on the North (and Imports). 1 Like |

As a matter of fact when growing up my parents made sure we eat our meat alongside the meal. And it's not like we're rich at all. At times we eat meatless meal and dem no born you well make you no finish the food. My Dad especially believed that it was a poverty mentality, his own is that, eat it when you have it and don't pity yourself when you don't and that's the way I do till today. Eat meat alongside the meal. |
