“Ọlọ́run ò rorò” — Netizens persuade fasting lady who refused to take malt after fainting on the street

In a viral video that has sparked heated debate across social media platforms, a Muslim lady’s refusal to accept a bottle of malt after fainting on the street during Ramadan has stirred strong reactions from netizens.

The incident occurred in a busy urban area, with bystanders rushing to aid the lady as captured in the footage.

The video shows the unidentified lady collapsing on the pavement, prompting concerned onlookers to revive her.

After she regained consciousness, an offer of a bottle of malt was made to her to help recover from the ordeal. However, to the surprise of many, she declined the drink, citing her fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.

The refusal immediately drew both support and criticism from viewers online. While some commended her devotion to fasting and respecting religious obligations, others expressed disbelief and concern over what they perceived as an extreme stance.

“This incident highlights the fervent commitment that some individuals have to their religious practices,” remarked one social media commentator. “It’s a reminder of the sacrifices made during Ramadan.”
