A Caucasian woman who is married to an Igbo man has taken to her social media page to share how her eating habits have changed since she got married to her husband.

The woman who is identified only as Nwanyi Ocha on Twitter, via her handle wrote:

“The leftover of chicken changes once you get married to onye Igbo. My husband used to tell me about how I throw away food by not chewing off all the meat from the bones. Now if I see my fellow nd? ?cha leaving half of the meat on the bones I think to myself: What a waste ?”

Nigerians, however, took to the comment section of the post to react with many saying she still hasn’t learnt to do justice to eating bones based on the picture she shared.

This is not Onye Igbo but a Nigerian thing. If you do not chew the bone wetin you gain?

You should actually eat the bone too. Very tasty and healthy. Dogs have known this for over a thousand years. ?

Not just a waste, it’s a taboo?

How on earth will I not chop off those posterior bulb-like bone.

If I have strength, then, the bone marrow goes the same direction with the flesh.

Any time, any day.

Even the after picture is a waste of Calcium?. We crush it big time to a toothpick size. Just saying

Hehehe..you still left the soft tip of the bone. It is the best part IMHO.
Also the reason I rather demolish chicken in the secure comfort of my home or car.

There really shouldn’t be an after except for the crushed bones. That juicy marrow needs to be eaten

That chicken bone on the right still needs alot of chewing and crushing…should be in crushed pieces when you’re done

Your husband taught you well. Ndi Igbo are not known for being wasteful. Imere ofuma?

We’re always been real and not wasteful

Serious waste o, that’s the sweetest and most nutritious part of the chicken, that is why we are very strong ?

You’re suppose to chew on the whole thing, especially if it’s fried

Even the one you are throwing away still have good value. That bone you leaving behind is the ultimate.
