Watch 'trotro mate' justify midnight fufu eating habit

A trotro mate (bus conductor) has sparked debates online after defending his habit of eating heavy meals late at night, insisting that his body can handle it.

In a viral video shared by SikaOfficial on X on April 21, 2026, the bus conductor was seen enjoying a bowl of fufu at around 12:30 AM, as a reporter engaged him for a brief interview about the health implication of the practice.

Responding to the concerns during the interview, he dismissed suggestions that late-night eating could be harmful, arguing that people have different bodily systems.

“Everybody has their system. If you don’t have a strong system (metabolism), don’t follow anybody’s system,” he said.

The ‘trotro mate’ explained that his eating schedule is shaped by the demands of his job, which often keeps him working late into the night.

“I close anytime due to my work. I eat around 12 noon during the day and then late at night around 12:30 am. That is my routine,” he stated.

When asked whether he experiences any discomforts after consuming heavy meals at night, he explained that he does not suffer any adverse effects.
