AND mother caused reactions online after she shared how her five-month-old baby dramatically demanded more eba and egusi soup after trying it for the first time.

Baby refuses milk, egusi asks
The mother said in her testimony that she immediately took the child away after seeing him being fed by swallowing because of his age.
However, the baby reportedly burst into loud cries and calmed down only after being returned to her grandma for another taste of soup.
“I woke up to find mom feeding my five-month-old baby eba and egusi soup. The boy was eating with so much enthusiasm. I got angry and took the baby away, but he started screaming and wailing. He didn’t stop until I handed him back to mom and she put egusi soup in his mouth again.”
Social media users react
The funny story quickly caught the attention of the internet, with many Nigerians joking that the child had already developed a love for traditional dishes.
Others recalled similar experiences with babies who at an early age showed an unusual interest in adult food.
A similar incident went viral in 2024 when a toddler refused baby cereal and repeatedly demanded amala during a family gathering in Ibadan.
