Chef T has noted that while adults are supposed to be able to afford other good things of life, it seems in life they are only fixated on putting food on their tables, adding that it has become a luxury.

Chef T wrote:

“But for how long will ADULTS only be able to afford food? There are other things that make adulthood fun, like having investments, properties, accessible cash to travel anywhere, active insurance covers, giving kids the best education, taking care of family and living life on your own terms.”

In Nigeria, many adults are only able to put food on the table, every other thing that seem basic in some other countries are like luxury in Nigeria cause tell me why owning a car is counted as luxury????”
