Nollywood actress Ini Dima Okojie has shared an interesting story of how pregnancy cravings made her cry for food.
The first-time mum, in a video shared on her Instagram page, said she always believed people were being overdramatic when they talk about pregnant womén crying for food.
Ini said she experienced it for the first time, which changed her perspective on the popular myth. According to her, she stumbled upon a post about Funke Akindele visiting a restaurant in Maryland, which made her crave the food.
She said she sent her personal assistant and driver to the restaurant to pick up the food for her and asked for an additional stew because she is a stew lover. Unfortunately, the restaurant declined her offer for extra stew because it was against their policy, which made her tear up while talking to the lady on the phone.
“I want to tell you, guys, a funny story. You know how they say pregnant women cry for food, I used to think there is no way, like how? It’s not that serious. Let me tell you about the rice I am eating. I was on Instagram, and Aunty Funke Akindele’s post popped up. She went to buy rice somewhere in Maryland, and the minute I saw that rice, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So, I told my mum I was craving a particular rice in Maryland. She sent her driver and PA to buy it for me. I am a stew lover, so I wanted them to dish the rice and stew separately, and I wanted to buy extra stew. The PA called, saying they don’t dish the stew separately nor sell extra stew. I made some suggestions on how the PA can convince the seller to sell to me, until I finally got to talk to her, and I started crying, and the lady caved in to me”.
