A student of Auchi Polytechnic has gone viral after coming up with a rather unusual and hilarious way of getting back at her roommate. The young lady decided to lock her pot of stew with a padlock as a form of revenge, sparking widespread conversations and laughter on social media platforms.
The incident was first made public in a video shared on TikTok by user @qwinfaithnails123. In the clip, the student revealed how her roommate allegedly prepared a meal but bluntly refused to share it with her. Feeling slighted and wanting to make a point, she took the bold step of cooking her own stew and then went ahead to secure it with a strong padlock. To make the “security system” appear even more dramatic, she reinforced the pot with two spoons crossed over it as if she was fortifying it from intruders.
In her caption, she made her intentions clear, writing: “She cook, she no give me, so na my payback be this.” The video instantly captured the attention of TikTok users, who couldn’t get enough of the petty yet highly creative revenge plan. For many, it was a perfect example of the playful but sometimes intense dynamics that exist between students and their roommates in Nigerian campuses.
As expected, the video generated massive engagement, with thousands of views and comments. Netizens quickly jumped in to react, with some finding the act extremely funny while others debated whether it was a fair response or too extreme. While some viewers praised the creativity, others questioned whether locking food was truly necessary, but everyone agreed it was entertaining.
