The Nigerian food market is a place where gender roles are still very prominent. It is common to see women running food stalls, while men handle the more physically demanding jobs. However, in a small market called Kagadama Yelwa, Bauchi in the northern part of Nigeria, something different is happening.
In many societies and cultures, the food industry is often seen as a woman’s domain. Men are expected to work in other industries and are not often associated with food preparation or sales. However, two men at the Kagadama Markets in Nigeria are challenging these gender stereotypes by selling fried yam and egg. These two men have taken it upon themselves to defy societal norms and pursue their passion for cooking. They believe that cooking is not just a woman’s job, and that men can excel in the food industry as well.
At the Kagadama (Kasuwan Mata) market, a pair of men can be seen selling fried yams and eggs, which is an uncommon sight as it’s typically women who sell them.
