I don’t mind operating a ‘chop bar’- Zita

Newly-wed former Minister of Information under late President Atta Mills’ regime, Sabah Zita Benson, formerly known as Zita Okaikoi, has fired back at a journalist who reported that she is now operating a ‘chop bar’ (local eatery).

According to Zita, who denied operating a chop bar, if she becomes a chop bar operator, it is definitely better than being a lazy journalist.

“I would rather be a chop bar operator than being a lazy journalist. If they want real work to do, they should go to the banks and see which bank is coming down next. I love cooking, and the only time I will stop cooking is when I die. So they caption it any way they like,” she said in a report by awakeafrica.com.

“I put this video of myself preparing fufu for myself on my WhatsApp status. The lazy journalists in my contacts, as usual, picked it up and gave it a lazy headline that I am operating chop bar. I don’t mind at all operating a chop bar. In fact, some of the rich people in this country are chop bar operators,” Zita added.

“They wish their wives and mothers could cook like me. You can send them to me to teach them how to cook if you are that envious. I shall actually teach them for free. And please, next time you steal my video from my status, give me credit for the video and don’t pretend it’s exclusive news for your readers. Fake news association, you can write about this too,” she stated.

Zita was recently in the news for remarrying at a secret wedding ceremony. Reports went viral after images of her wedding popped up on social media.
