Nigerian Student Shows Strange-looking Tuber of Yam Sent to Her From Village

Cursory: A TikTok video showing an oddly shaped yam has gone viral, with viewers comparing its appearance to a skull or mask. Shared by Favour Onyenwe, the video sparked humor and unease among viewers, who dubbed it the “Halloween yam.”

A video of a rather peculiar-looking yam has sent the internet into a frenzy of reactions. Favour Onyenwe, the ‘brave soul’ who shared the video on TikTok, revealed that this weird tuber was sent to her while she was in school.

In the video, Favour expresses her apprehension about the yam’s unusual shape, comparing it to a carved piece of wood and noting its three mysterious holes, which almost give it the appearance of a long skull or mask. Some folks even dubbed it the “Halloween yam” because of its spooktacular vibes!

Captioning the video with a mix of fear and humor, Favour wrote, “The yam they sent to me to eat in school. Gosh I am scared to eat this yam. If it were you, will eat it?” It’s a question that has left netizens both amused and intrigued.

While some brave souls might be willing to take a bite out of this eerie yam, others are content to admire it from a safe distance. Regardless, one thing’s for sure: the yam no be your mate.

Netizens have replied with concerned but funny comments, like the typical Nigerians they are ‘everything na cruise’ after all. So my very humble question is, will you eat the yam or not?
