A Nigerian man sparked outrage online after claiming he killed his pet cat and used its meat to prepare a meal for his friends as part of his birthday celebration.
The man shared photos on social media, which included images of his now-deceased cat and a pot of food that he claimed was prepared with the animal’s meat. Alongside the photos, he posted a message expressing his frustration with the economic conditions in the country.
“There’s nothing to celebrate in this country if you’re not the child of a politician,” he wrote. “But I thank God for life and for adding another fruitful year. Happy birthday to me. No money to buy meat, so I had to kill my pet cat, Gracie, to entertain my friends.”
The post has since gone viral, prompting reactions from various users, with many expressing shock and condemnation over the man's actions.
