chin chin and puff

shymexx:

Hmmm... WHat happened to ayamase, pounded yam, vegetable soup, ogbono, oha, edi ka ikanga??

I haven't had "moi moi" for time, though... and I don't know what "ababcha" is...

adaobi123:
I have never eaten pounded yam - only eba.
what edi ka ikanga ?
abacha is like some nigerian salad. you should try it, its quite nice.
and yeah.....still learning how to cook soups

adaobi123:

not really a big fan of tupac

shymexx:

Erm.. Pounded yam is naija's best food - you're missing out... I kind of like eba because it's easy to cook and it's a bachelor's favourite after stealing soup from the fam..

Edi ka inkanga is a calabar variety of vegetable soup but it's nice... Mama Calabar in Norf Weezy sells the best edi ka ikanga, but there are few other naija restaurants that sell it as well... Expensive but worth the price...

You need to learn fast... I'll add the "abacha" thing to my wish list...


PS: soz for derailing the thread... I'm just living up to my King derailer tag...

shymexx:

Damn!! You're missing out!! Pac is like the only artist I can listen to all day and get spiritual(prob Nas as well)... He was ahead of his time - and he made tunes for everyone... His music used to be the ringtone to my life...

adaobi123:
I'll add pounded yam and edi ka inkanga to my wish list as well
Norf Weezy you mean north west right? lol
I'll learn as fast as I can

adaobi123:
hmmmmm, I just dont get the hype, you know ? Maybe its just me
I prefer Nas though, decent rapper.

shymexx:

Soz babes, slept off kind of early yesterday - I was knackered!

Don't add them to ya wishlist, learn how to cook them...

Yeah, Norf Weezy means North West... Damn!! Where were you when grime was popping??

Do you remember this tune from Channel U days??



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32hW1j50Kto

shymexx:

It's not hype, the guy was basically a genius - I need to put you some of his great tunes...

He was also a revolutionary...

Nas is a lyricist and arguably the most lyrical rapper ever...

adaobi123:
It's okay. No worries. Yeah yeah, I'll learn how to cook them.
I HATE GRIME MUSIC. HATED IT HATED IT and I still do.
Channel U ? Ahh the good old days.
Nahh I dont know the song, never listened to such music.

adaobi123:
Well I'm all ears - I'm open to any kind of music as long as it sounds good.

shymexx:

Morning, luv..

Lmao @ the bolded...

You need to record a voice note and post it... I just hope you don't proper white, or cockney...

Posh is sexy but overly white is neeky... Well, no one sounds proper white in London, anyway...

Channel U and camera phone videos!! I miss dem days, truss...

Why do you hate grime, anyway I'm too old for it now but it was the ish back in the day..

Obasanjo, Johnson-Sirleaf In Abuja Meet-The-People Tour
From: Madu Onuorah, Abuja


President Olusegun Obasanjo will this morning attend a thanksgiving service at the Aso Villa Chapel as part of the programme to mark his 69th birthday.

The low key event is expected to be attended by a few of his associates, aides and family members. Later in the afternoon, a squash competition will hold at the Squash Court near the office of the National Security Adviser.

[b]Yesterday, Obasanjo and visiting Liberian President, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf undertook unscheduled visits to four different locations in Abuja in what has been termed a "meet the people tour."

From the Presidential Villa Abuja, both Presidents Obasanjo and Johnson-Sirleaf visited the NNPC Mega Station at Wuse, the Garki Model Market, the Asokoro General Hospital and an outlet of Mr. Biggs at A.Y.A. Junction, Asokoro.

The Presidents' visits to the locations took Abuja people by surprise as it was devoid of heavy security presence.

At the NNPC mega-station, where the Presidents were conducted round by the Supervisor, Mr. Stephen Yohanna. President Obasanjo shook hands with customers and staff, stopping briefly for chats with some of them.

Soon, some cheering crowd gathered at the station. A smiling President Obasanjo waved to the crowd, eliciting even more cheers.

The visit to the Garki Market was electrifying. The traders - young and old - clapped, laughed and cheered as the Presidents snaked through the stalls. "Sai Baba", "Baba o'' and "Presido", the traders shouted and chanted through the period the President was in the market.

At the Asokoro General Hospital, the President visited the sick and congratulated mothers that had just been delivered of babies. He was conducted round by the Hospital's Senior Consultant, Dr. Mike Aghahowa.

At the Mr. Biggs outlet at Asokoro, patrons including former Presidential aspirant, Mrs Sarah Jibril and some students of Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja, were certainly not expecting Presidents Obasanjo and Sirleaf when they walked into the eatery.

President Obasanjo took time out to talk with them and partake of a meal of chicken and rice with two young girls, Oluwasore and Adetutu Ojo and their mother.[/b]

After the visits, Presidents Obasanjo and Sirleaf rode through other districts in the city before returning to State House.

Watzhup: David Cameron, Abi? Tell Obama to try that.

Watermelon:
See Obama walking to church with his family from the white house

cap28: shymmex/ coogar have you seen this hilarious clip about David (call me Dave) Cameron selling arms in the middle east:

1forall: The African leadership culture is completely different in that it pays a lot of attention to separating the leadership figures from those it's supposed to serve - high fences, bulllet proof vehicles, security personnel everywhere they go. As long as the poor are in majority don't even bother to expect this from any Nigerian politician.

Rossikk:

You are wrong. Have you ever seen a convoy of the US president? Or of even this David Cameron whose silly photo op has deceived you? The western leaders are no less removed from their people than African leaders. [size=16pt]They just like to pretend they're not, while African leaders don't bother with the pretence.[/size]

Drdaps: Let us look at this and reflect on it, British Prime Minister, David Cameron standing inside the train while other passengers are sitting down enjoying the ride, can our leaders do this?

Rossikk: You are wrong. Have you ever seen a convoy of the US president? Or of even this David Cameron whose silly photo op has deceived you? The western leaders are no less removed from their people than African leaders. They just like to pretend they're not, while African leaders don't bother with the pretence.

1forall: I was referring to the difference in cultures between Western & African leadership, not specifically about the perks of office which are available to virtually every national leader which the Nigerian/African ones are wont to abuse.

1forall:

If (according to you) pretense is the difference between Western & African leaders then pretense must be a good thing. Because if a leader is bothered enough to 'pretend' to be a public servant, it would indicate a level of accountability to those he leads, and also a concern about their opinion, at least more than the flagrant abuse of position which the African ones are well known for {e.g "I don't give a damn!"} would ever indicate. In other words, you don't do eye service for someone you don't give a hoot about.

Rossikk: The western leaders are no less removed from their people than African leaders.
