A young 13-year-old student has defended himself after he was reprimanded by the school principal for overeating.
A video that was posted on Twitter captured a young boy who fought for himself after a student reported him to the principal for eating too much.
The principal while scolding him told him that he could die with the amount of food he eats, however, the young boy quickly replied in an Igbo dialect that he won’t die because his God is alive.

He bragged that he was once challenged by a man who told him to finish N3,000 worth of Okpa (an Igbo food made with Bambara nuts) and get 8K.
The young boy boasted that he devoured it in less than 30 minutes and got the prize money, hence, he is sure he was not going to die.
Reactions: You finished 30 Okpa in 10 minutes?
The confession of the young boy had a lot of netizens cracking up. While many laughed and wondered how he finished 3k worth of Okpa others were more focused on how he conversed with the principal in his local dialect. See some comments below.
@sami_oamen: His God is alive, he cannot die, allow him eat his 1k Okpa ?
@kunle_oyesanya: I like how igbos & Hausa made it mandatory for their children to speak their dialect.
But Yoruba people would call you bush & feel irritated when you initiate a conversation with them in their mother’s tongue
@derrick_uwak: Wait 3k worth of okpa and one okpa is N100 that’s 30 okpa in 10 minutes, boy is a legend
@jagabanoftweets: I don’t understand igbo, i know dat he’s saying “he needs to eat since he serves a living God”?? He finished 3K Okpa in 30 mins and he’s proud to say it ?.. My guy! ?. I love his confidence ??.
But hopefully he slows down cos of his health sake ?
@Lrd__gold: He’s 13 and he’s obese. He had better listen to his teachers. And how you go finish 3k worth of okpa??
@VictorMordi12: What the principal should have done was to involve him and some pupils in sporting activities on a daily basis then invite his parent to lecture them of reducing his food consumption. To me the way the boy behave sound rude to me and a total disrespect towards the principal

Meanwhile, a lovely Nigerian mother chose to keep track of all the food her twins had since they were born till 10 months later.
She employed a new method by storing the empty cans, jars, cartons, and wrappers from the food, beverages, and other items they consumed (diapers).
She organized them in a room with shelves for storage. Among the branded goods were those from Nan, P.G., Nutribom, Molfix, etc.
