A Nigerian man has gone on a hilarious rant online after he was placed on a vegetable diet in a bid to lose tummy fat.

The man is heard complaining in Yoruba while having a bowl of salad in his car. 

He said: “When one is not a goat, for God sake, and one is eating grass.”

He added: “Just because they said I have a big tummy and should reduce it.”

He then goes on to tease white people who feed on “grass”, adding that the grass he was given to eat has eggs and boiled potatoes, “but it’s not like our own potatoes.”
