The breakfast of most Nigerian men

[Mmachi Tobechukwu]

AKA "Action bitters "
“This is the breakfast of about 60% of Nigerian men…” They take it like medication because

Morning.
Afternoon.
Night.

They take it diligent like it's a prescription.

They:

Take one shot before leaving house…
Another before stress…
Another one after stress...
Then the final dose before sleep.”

If your husband, brother,
or neighbor is among them…

Please greet him for me.

Tell him I said:

“He is doing very well.”

Because let’s be honest.
That small sachet is not small.

It is:

alcohol overload
liver stress
dehydration
poor sleep
rising blood pressure
gut damage

But because it is cheap,
accessible, and normalized…

It feels harmless.

You even hear them say:

“It warms the body.”
“It gives strength.”
“It helps digestion.”

Meanwhile your body is like:

“If only I can leave this body —
before you k¡LL me one day.”


And the worst part?

It has become routine.

Not occasional.
Daily.

That’s when damage moves from a possibility
to predictability

If you are reading this and you’re involved…

I greet you too.

What I'm saying in essence is STOP!
Because one day,

your body will respond…
And it won’t be funny anymore.
