A Muslim parent sent her child’s teacher rice and stew as many people of their religion do when they celebrate.
After the Ramadan fast, Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Fitr. This year, the celebration took place on March 30, 2025.

As is the practice, several Ghanaian Muslims cook and share with their neighbours and loved ones as they celebrate the season. Most people cook rice with the signature ‘northern stew’ and add other proteins.
In Ghana, March 31 and April 1 were declared holidays due to the Muslim celebration. This meant there was no work or school during the holidays.
A Muslim parent gave her child’s teacher some rice a few days after the Eid celebrations.
Even though the teacher ate the food, she complained about the protein they added to the food, sharing a video of a chicken head among the rice.

“So as a parent gifting your child’s teacher sallah food, you gave me a fowl’s head. Oh no this is not good," she commented.
The teacher shared a video showing that she was eating the food but was displeased with the chicken head the parent added to the meal.
