A Nigerian lady has drawn widespread attention online after posting a TikTok video in which she prepared egusi soup with live crabs still moving in the pot.
The unusual cooking scene, now viral, sparked a flurry of reactions on social media due to the visibly alive crabs attempting to escape while the soup was nearly finished.
According to her post, the young woman explained that her mother had instructed her to cook the soup, and she proceeded with the task as best as she could. When questioned in the comments about why the crabs were still alive during cooking, she responded nonchalantly,
“Oh, I didn’t know how to k!ll them.”
This response added a humorous twist to what many considered a culinary blunder, leading to a mix of amusement and disbelief from viewers. While some found the video hilarious, others were stunned by her lack of preparation knowledge, especially considering that live crabs are typically killed before being used in cooking.
The video’s virality underscores how everyday events, especially when shared candidly online, can quickly become trending topics—eliciting everything from laughter to concern.
