Suya is a Northern Nigerian delight that has become a delicacy that is consumed all over the country. It knows no ethnicity, no religion and no tribe. This said, one thing you may have observed is that this street food is usually prepared in the evening. Why not in the morning or afternoon? Well, whoever, decided to kick off the preparation of Suya in the evening must be a genius because the marketing strategy is working. You find Nigerians buying Suya at this time. Accordingly, Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency shares 5 reasons why Suya is prepared in the evening.

It more attractive in the evening

When you returning from in the evening and you see the mallam or Aboki the fire of the suya blazing in the very busy or hectic evening. There is no way you will not be attracted or tempted to buy. Even when you didn’t plan to buy, you will.

It is when Nigerians hang out and relax

It is in the evening that most Nigerians hang out and relax. That is when they are close from work. Some don’t go home straight away. They hang out at your favourite hotel bar in Lagos with friends, and if there is a Suya spot around, they buy. If you setup in the afternoon, very few people will patronise you. You will be forced to move your suya business to the evening.

It is very tasty at that time

Suya is very tasty normally. But there is no way you can compare afternoon suya with evening suya, they are not mates. The warm evening weather, the stress of work and traffic all combine to make you savour the taste of suya. It is very yummier!!!

The Aboki has other businesses he runs during the day

The Aboki or mallam preparing the suya has other businesses he runs during the day. He doesn’t survive on making suya alone. Some of the things he may likely be doing during the day include shoemaking, tailoring and barbing among others.

It is just weird or unusual to see morning or afternoon Suya

It is just weird and unusual for you to see suya being prepared in the morning or afternoon. You are already used to it in the evenings. Don’t be surprised if some Nigerians think that you are doing something fishy by preparing suya during the day. They will not even go near such a suya.

Shout out 2 al my suya bfs

k, has anyone noticed that eating suya with your best friends makes it sweeter cos u guys will literarily be fighting for every single piece especially the last one ( if u feel its sweeter alone,..................., u are a grèédy person )

It is best served at nite because after the reggae comes the blues , especially the type of suya garnished with boorantashi (Penile shaft enhancer).

This is one of the most ignorant and uninfomed posts on Nairaland.

The reason why suya is mostly prepared in the evenings is that the meat has to be marinated in spices for hours before being slowly grilled over charcoal heat.

As to getting suya only in the evening, it's a big fat lie. If you go to University of Suya at Allen or the streets opposite Dodan Barracks at Obalende, you'll get suya in the afternoons.

But we already know all this reason before naw....

Rubbish

mtceew, who knows how i can update my xbox1 since Microsoft is always giving me error report, my fifa 17 has been lying useless since January

In Makurdi and the core North we buy it anytime of the day.

Suya and Garri, serving naija since 1900AD

Aww!

The product is immersed in oris-shi-risi attractive to night crawlers and drunk.

Ladies take this for nourishment before hustling and going down the route of Allen, Akin Adesola, Isaac John during the peak business hours

Difficult to identify foreign members and particles in the peppered sprayed beef ..taking heat under charcoal fired braai

NAFDAC officials, SON officials and Courts are asleep during sales time.

LASEPA, LASEMA, Environmental Health Officers are asleep at this time of the day for monitoring. They are awake for patronage

Hahaha . . . It is a Meat from the Darkside

Darkness ingredient

No more news...

and this useless topic makes front page, may God delivers nairaland

Its a desert na.

it's sold at night because newspapers are sold in the morning.

suya night

Newspapers are thrown away by the evening.

The aboki doing some other works during the day? DO you know the amount of work that goes into getting to prepare the meat before they eventually smoke it in the night.
It is a very stressful job. Kindly give us another reason.
