Pregnant Nigerian Woman Astonished After Restaurant Patron Asks Her Out

A Nigerian woman in the late stages of pregnancy, Moronkeji Adekunle Igwe, was taken aback when a man came up to her in a restaurant and invited her on a date. Igwe described the unusual encounter in a Facebook post published Tuesday, September 22, 2026. According to her account, she came close to accusing the man of being a ritualist, since she considered his conduct far from ordinary. She explained that she had been at the restaurant to place a food order when the man approached and began asking her out. Igwe said she glanced at her pregnant belly, then at his face, and repeated the gesture to make certain she was not speaking with someone who was mentally unwell. She added that she was nearly ready to shout that he was a ritualist because the situation could not be normal.
