The popular proverb, A hungry man is an angry man was on full display when a goat ate the Jollof rice of a very hungry Nigerian man.

A Nigerian twitter user who was an eyewitness at the scene shared the video via twitter. According to him, the goat ate the man's Jollof which struck the nerve of the man who immediately grabbed the goat, unbuckled his belt and hit the goat mercilessly until the goat was able to escape.

This scene left many onlookers amazed by the man's reaction.

While some Nigerian twitter users have called it animal cruelty and a despicable act, others found it extremely funny and unfathomable
