A Nigerian woman has sparked widespread concern online after claiming that five individuals have lost their lives after consuming stolen rice allegedly cursed by its original owner. The chilling warning has since gone viral on TikTok, prompting an outpouring of reactions and fear from social media users.
According to her narration, the rice was taken without permission from a marketer who, upon discovering the theft, reportedly pronounced a curse on the stolen goods. The woman alleges that everyone who consumed the cursed rice has died—beginning with five people from the Owode area.
She also cautioned that the rice may now be circulating in different markets across the country, increasing the potential risk to unsuspecting buyers. In her message, she strongly advised Nigerians to avoid purchasing or eating rice for now unless it’s sourced from a trusted, personal stockpile.
The story quickly took on a life of its own, with dozens of TikTok users sharing eerie coincidences from their own neighborhoods—some even claiming additional fatalities tied to rice consumption. One commenter spoke of 21 children dying in their area, while another reported two children’s deaths after eating rice. Though none of these claims have been independently verified, the rapid spread of the story has triggered widespread alarm.
Several commenters mentioned that the fear has already reached their families, with some saying their mothers have urged them to avoid buying or eating rice altogether. Others shared voice notes, calls, and messages from concerned relatives spreading the same warning.
While there’s been no official confirmation or medical explanation linking any deaths to poisoned or cursed rice, the incident has stirred national attention and reignited age-old beliefs about spiritual retaliation and curses in local commerce.
As the discussion grows online, some have called for a proper investigation to verify the claims and prevent misinformation. For now, however, a sense of unease continues to hover, especially in communities already grappling with fear and suspicion.
