The meal consisted of fufu, soup, and pap, carefully arranged in separate flasks.
While sharing the clip, she emphasised her refusal to succumb to pressure from fellow mothers who may have more provisions for their children.
"POV: Nothing concern you with the lunch box fight because na wetin you get you go pack. Always coat my coat according to my size," she said.
Commenting on the story, a medical doctor, Amicable Chukwu, cautioned against giving fufu and soup to children.
In her words:
"I don't support giving a little child fufu to take to school. Especially below 4 years. You don't know who will mould it for the child to avoid the risk of choking. There are so many dangers I can think of. Please give your child a light food to take to school."
