This is a question typically asked by Nigerians to show care or pretend to worry about your 'stomach'. The question 'have you eaten?' is sometimes met with silence, heavy sigh, or a lie. And If the reply is 'I haven't eaten', there is a chance you will hear 'Go and cook na'.
The question could also suggest strong term of endearment.

The 4th democratic governor of Anambra state. He is widely regarded by Anambrarians as one of the worst governors of Anambra state. More commonly known as "Willie the drunk", he is supported mainly by intellectually disabled persons or the 1% who know about his skirt chasing problem. Some of the things he's achieved as governor include:
1. Putting the cart before the horse
2. Refusal to take action during the Onitsha market fire. He was caught hosting visitors and measuring dick with the Nigerian army during the fire. Millions of property were lost; no fire fighters around to help contain the fire.
3. Arranges a photo op with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
4. Bans the operation of commercial motorcycles without setting up an alternative.
5. Incapable of building and maintaining an adequate, safe system of roads and bridges.
6. Blames Peter Obi for his drinking problems and accountability issues.
This is an unbiased definition of Willie Obiano. I kid you not.
I hope someone tells Willie Obiano that he is better at drinking than at being a governor.
