A Nigerian lady has caused a stir on social media after sharing a video of herself cooking egusi soup with live crabs still moving inside the pot.
The video, which surfaced on TikTok, has quickly gone viral, drawing a wave of reactions from viewers.
In the clip, the soup appears nearly done, yet the crabs used in the dish are visibly alive—moving around and even trying to escape the pot.
According to her caption, the young woman said her mother had asked her to prepare the meal, so she began the cooking process.
However, when asked in the comments why the crabs were still alive, she simply responded, “Oh, I didn’t know how to kill them.”
The unexpected scene left many viewers both amused and bewildered, with the comment section buzzing with a mix of humor and shock.
