A Nigerian woman has gone viral on social media for her resourceful approach to cooking without gas. In a video shared on her Instagram account, @kyootkimilar_, she can be seen using candles to heat her food after her gas ran out at 2 a.m.
The woman positioned her pot on the gas cooker and placed four candles underneath to provide heat. She was determined to finish cooking her spaghetti and eggs using this unconventional method. Speaking in Yoruba, she explained that she remembered having candles from a past birthday celebration, which she decided to use for cooking.
The video has attracted significant online attention, with many praising her ingenuity and creativity. Others, however, questioned why she was cooking at such an early hour. Despite the mixed reactions, the woman’s determination and resourcefulness have sparked admiration from many.
