A Ghanaian ‘trotro mate’ who was spotted eating fufu at 12:30 am has claimed to have a strong system.

The Trotro mate dismissed the reported claims of the effects of late-night eating, arguing that he has a strong system.

Speaking to Adom TV, the Trotro mate stated, “Everybody and their system. If you don’t have a strong system, don’t follow anybody’s system”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to the Trotro mates’ claims stated, “Don’t let anyone deceive you, eating late is a problem, when you repeatedly eat late, your body learns to acclimatise to that pattern, it doesn’t mean it’s healthy, and it has a long-term effect. Read about the pineal gland, thyroid gland and the pancreas”.

A netizen added, “It’s not healthy. But clearly, his work schedule pushes him to eat quite late.

I hope that, in time, he’s able to find a way to have the meals much earlier. But  Men are working ooo.

There is so much tiredness in his eyes

I pray his hustle would not be in vain”.

“Maturity is understanding that eating late is not a problem, but being idle or sleeping after eating is where the line is drawn”, one X user added.

In related news, President John Dramani Mahama, at the launched cautioned Ghanaians against eating heavy meals late at night, using humour to encourage healthier lifestyles.

Speaking at the launch, President Mahama drew laughter from the audience, saying, “Stop eating banku at night”.

He further went on to advise Ghanaians that the ideal time for dinner should be taken earlier in the evening, saying, “If you are the kind of person who likes eating heavy foods, you are not physically active, you are sitting at one place, and yet when they give you your fufu or banku, you say it’s too small. You want a big bowl of fufu, and you want to eat it every day.

Sometimes you eat it at night before you go to sleep. Please, by 7 PM, eat your dinner and don’t eat again. If you are hungry, just pick a cup of tea or something. Don’t eat any heavy food. You come from work in the evening, your wife is tired, but you force her to come and get you banku at 10 PM, why?” he quizzed.

He further added, “Our fathers used to eat banku and co in the night, but they were physically active; they used to go to the farm, and they expended energy. Now we don’t do any physical activity. You wake up in the morning, eat breakfast, drive to work, sit behind the desk from 8 am to 5 pm, drive back home, and when you come home, you ask for your banku. What physical activity did you do to deserve banku?” he jokingly questioned.
