Ah, It was rice (as usual) and I was 11. I had filled a medium sized pot with water halfway through and placed on the stove. Poured a cup of rice into it. I looked at it and decided it was too small for me. I added another 2 FULL CUPS. I leave the rest to imagination.  Mumsie wasn't happy to see her messed up kitchen, spilled water and cooked rice everywhere. Banned me from stepping within 100m from her food store. |

I was 11years when I was parceled from the East to Abuja to start a JSS1. i was living in the hostel. I and my three friends, went to Wuse market and bought a little kerosene stove.since cooking was not permitted, we smuggle the stove into the hostel.we used Big bonvita tin for pot to cook jellof rice.as i was cooking,I covered the little stove and the bonvita tin with an Iron bucket,to avoid the aroma coming out.and my friends were at the door watching when the senior prefect or House master will be coming.that was in the good old days. |

@Post I started cooking at age 8. I first learnt how to make amala and then eba and then white rice, okro soup, egusi, banga and starch, yam porridge, moi-moi and then everything in between. I thank God for my excellent culinary skills which I harnessed at a young age. |

I think it was rice. Cant remember. But d memorable food was beans @ d age of 12 or 13. It was a bad experience. I was 2 cook a derica of beans but I proudly increased it 2 one n a half. I added ALL ingredients shortly after i put it on fire (as if it was rice). I starved d family dat nite. We only managed 2 eat small available bread. |
