Nigerian singer Teni has triggered widespread reactions online following remarks she made about the emotional intensity of hungry women.
In a video that has since gone viral, the music star suggested that while many people believe a hungry man is an angry man, a hungry woman could be even more formidable. She warned that if a hungry woman places a curse on someone, it may be difficult to undo regardless of prayers or spiritual efforts.
She said:
“When they say a hungry man is an angry man, you better believe it. A hungry woman is even worse than a hungry man. If a hungry woman should use her womb to swear for you, walahi if you like go to 7 oceans make Alfa or prophet pray for you, they cannot wash it off…”
Her statement quickly sparked mixed reactions across social media, with users sharing varying opinions.

“The funny thing isn’t that women say these things, but that some men believe them. As much as women are portals for new life, men create that new life. Women are no more spiritual than men. In fact, let me stop here – I’m already deviating.
Since a woman’s swear is this potent, I implore all the hungry women, and women generally, in Nigeria to use their wombs to swear at our leaders. I want to check something…”

“So the hungry woman can’t pray for food for herself, but she can swear? You people are really funny on social media”
The clip continues to trend as netizens debate the meaning and implications of her comments.
