Big Brother Titans (BBTitans) ex-housemate, Thabang Mazibuko, better known as Thabang has said Nigerians eat in a rather weird manner.
The South African also said the cultural similarities and differences between South Africans and Nigerians came to him as a shock.
He, however, said he eventually got to understand the Nigerian culture better after spending 65 days with housemates from the West African country in the Big Brother Titans’ house.

Thabang, who made these revelations during a recent interview with Hip TV, said:
“I learned about how rich in culture Nigeria is. I thought South Africa is a place that is rich in culture and great history but Nigeria has so many different cultures, so many different traditions; they have a really rich history and that is something that I learned that I don’t know [before].
“I learnt about the different foods, food ethics and the way they eat food. I found out that in Nigeria they eat popcorn with sugar and peanuts [laughs]. That’s weird but okay, cool.
“The biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of similarities between us and things that we eat. But custard I think is the same thing but we eat it as a dessert but they [Nigerians] eat it as breakfast. That was also pretty shocking.”
