Nigerian woman stuns many as she uses her power bank to cook (video)

A yet-to-be-identified Nigerian woman has captured the attention of many after a video surfaced of her cooking with a power bank.

The video, shared by an ex-corps member identified as @albakanwwy001, has since gone viral, sparking mixed reactions from netizens.

The entrepreneurial woman was spotted in Ikirun, Osun state, showcasing an unconventional method of generating fire for her yam frying business.

The footage shows her utilizing a portable charger connected to an undisclosed device, which, in turn, produced the flames necessary for frying yams.

The ex-corps member expressed his amazement in Yoruba, engaging the woman in conversation to understand the innovative approach.

While the specific details of how the power bank was linked to the cooking apparatus remain unclear, the footage has ignited curiosity and discussion online.

In recent times, Nigerians have exhibited a trend of resourcefulness in finding alternative ways to generate heat for cooking.

This includes the development of a water-powered stove and a toilet that generates gas for cooking. The viral video has elicited diverse reactions on social media.
