Reactions
There were reactions from her fans to her love for roasted corn.
One follower vivicostapinto wrote “In Brazil we also eat corn roasted like this! It’s a very common street food in many states. In my home state we can find women like this roasting corn on the roads. You stop your car and order to go. There are a few similarities in Brazilian and Nigerian food I could learn from your books”
Another one silk_chi wrote “How you live an ordinary life, in an extra ordinary way is so beautiful to watch and learn from. A phenomenal woman.”
But there are some of her followers who think, not many around really knew who she was. A follower dodomiami wrote “Only if the kids and people know who’s standing there. Legend.”
One follower eche_md said “If only that lady knew a queen is about to eat her corn.”
