A Nigerian man has sparked massive reactions online after revealing a hilarious yet touching story of how his grandmother prepared him for life’s toughest days—popularly known in local slang as “sapa” (extreme financial hardship).

In a trending post shared via Instablog9ja, the man recounted how his grandma once introduced him to a mysterious leaf she claimed could cure not just hunger, but also heartbreak and low budget struggles.

“She show me leaf wey cure hunger, heartbreak and low budget,” he said, adding that the survival hack came in handy during his broke days.

The post, which has since gone viral, has left Nigerians in stitches, with thousands reacting across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok. Some users jokingly asked for the name and picture of the “miracle leaf,” while others praised Nigerian grandmothers for their legendary wisdom and unorthodox solutions to everyday problems.

Many young Nigerians, especially those facing the current economic crunch, related deeply to the man’s story. With rising food prices, low job opportunities, and increasing pressure on youths, tales of survival—funny or not—are resonating more than ever.

“This leaf na national treasure. EFCC fit even arrest you if you no share am,” one user joked.
“If grandma say it works, na to package am for export remain,” another said.

While the identity of the so-called hunger-curing leaf remains a mystery, one thing is clear: the story has struck a chord with Nigerians everywhere—reminding many of the humour, resilience, and unconventional wisdom that defines everyday life in the face of adversity.

As the post continues to trend, it’s become more than just a joke—it’s a symbol of the undying Nigerian spirit: broke today, but still laughing, still pushing.
