“Moet Abebe: I Can’t Date a Man Who Can’t Cook, Sparks Social Media Debate”
Popular Nigerian media personality Moet Abebe has ignited a heated debate online following her recent appearance on a podcast, where she discussed her expectations for potential partners. Moet boldly stated that she would never date a man who cannot cook, emphasizing that culinary skills are non-negotiable for her in a relationship.
During the episode, Moet explained that she believes many men end up in unfulfilling relationships because they lack the ability to cook for themselves. She went on to clarify that her standards go beyond just knowing how to prepare basic dishes like Egusi; instead, she expects men to have exceptional cooking abilities before they can capture her interest.
The podcast episode quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions on social media. Some users supported Moet’s stance, with one commenter, @ray_adeka, saying, “Cooking is a basic survival skill. Everyone should know how to cook their own meals. Everyone!”
Others, however, criticized the focus of the conversation. User @shes_precious expressed frustration, stating, “Using men as a topic on a podcast doesn’t seem intelligent to me. There are several things happening in the world to talk about, so why should it be men?”
The podcast also drew attention for its unique style, with user @c.O.b.z noting, “This particular podcast comes with its own unique accent and I love it.” However, the debate wasn’t without its detractors, as user @michael pointed out potential double standards in relationships, remarking, “When they see a man who does everything for himself, they still complain, saying ‘he doesn’t need me.’ Oya, what do you want?”
Cultural perceptions were also highlighted, with @bigbronaijaa observing, “The person originally from the UK speaks Pidgin, while our own homebred Naija girl forms an accent..?”
As the discussion continues, many are expressing fatigue over the seemingly endless relationship debates. User @nene_george summed up the sentiment, saying, “Make everyone just do as they like, me I’m tired of these relationship talks. Ike agulam o!!!”
