A number of people have claimed that vegetable sellers are now refusing to slice vegetables for young female customers and would only agree to slice if the customer is a man.
This observation was first shared on Facebook by a man.
"Each time I go to the market, I always slice my vegetables there. I'll ask them before buying, and even the ones without knife will gladly borrow just to help me out. In short, on Saturday, I bought curry leaves and the woman picked it for me.
"However, the day I sent my female colleague to help me buy vegetables, no one agreed to slice it for her. They told her they don't slice.
"I wonder why they do this."
His followers responded with their own experiences. A number of women stated that they have experienced it too.

"The second time was at the market. I asked the seller to slice for me (she had just finished slicing for a man). She looked at me and said 'So make your fellow woman dey cut vegetable for you. Wetin do you?'
"I picked my things and went to another stand with her calling me lazy.
"When we talk about REPRESSED HATE, this is exactly what we mean. A lot of women don't even know they hate themselves, not personally but the fact of their womanhood. You cannot love yourself when you believe you are a second fiddle to a man."
