How can I forget the time my mama and hin friend go Palm-grove to buy smoked fowl for me, na hin them come cross the road instead of using the overhead bridge and one olopa come stop them. The Olopa stopped them then told them to start frog-jumping, na hin ma mama tell the olopa say hin don dey craze small, small time sha with 1,000 naira in his pocket, the policeman released them.

romeo:

Abeg which one you dey? Yam and beans helped a lot in my growth

pahtahkee:

Na you I for like make you do that frog-jumping with that your bumper.

Which one is Aya Mase stew again? Mama agips used to be at petrol filling station called agips before it was changed to Oando. In the days of fuel shortage, people will park their cars in the long queue and and go sit down with mama agips either eating rice with dodo or eating bread with ewa agoyin and ata dindin. :

pahtahkee:

Na you I for like make you do that frog-jumping with that your bumper.

big_bumper:


A ha, you are full of beans . And you still dey wonder why pure water dey make you bow That growth of yours has been wrongly configured and constituted, I say.

big_bumper:

Na pure water I go chop? Na pure water you dey chop? No wonder you dey sick.

pahtahkee:

Oh boy, at a point in time, I had a record of knowing where the best buka joints were in any Nigerian city I was in. If I get to any vicinity, my first check is what available buka are there.

Right from my secondary school days, we used to go through the bush to eat correct hot yam and beans at Angola joint, with a cup of water by that old woman back in those days. We will then fly over the fence because we know prefects are lying in the bush waiting for us.

I no dey play with Buka at all.

romeo:

OHH!! That reminds me of the Roasted yam and palm oil i ate last month at the Ikoyi passport office (along the road not inside)

My friend ordered for a plate and i was like WTF (are you going to eat that thing)!! I tasted one piece of yam and ended up buying up the whole roasted yam and even quarrelled with the woman for more palm oil

Ha you don miss, aya mase is a spicy ijebu stew made with green pepper, tastes wicked with rice and beans or rice and plantain. I usually get mine from Tastees restaurant, but you can also go to this buka in Dalston, forgotten what the name is.

lucabrasi:

Another tory

A friend (a girl) that had never been home for a while travelled to Nigeria, decided to hook up with a friends from school, and left home with 2500 naira in her pocket.She be that kin person wey if you follow am go out, you have to pay for yourself (she is the split the bill type)

This friend, with six of her friend (family), met my JJC friend at the pre-arranged restaurant on the Island, and everyone settled down to serious business. The girls as usual ordered the most expensive things on the menu with takeaways, then when the bill of 12500 naira was presented, everyone started shuffling in their seats, and my JJC friend left the table to go to the loo, by the time she came back, everyone had disappeared.

After explaining the situation to the the owner, she was allowed to leave all her stuffs and go and call her mum in France to wire some money to her. She is also the type that travels to Nigeria with £100 and $60, hence the reason she was broke.

A few months after this incidence, we met two of these girls in the west-end of London, they apologised, kissed and made up. They all then decided to go to Subway to get sandwiches, my friend was first in the queue, ordered the most expensive foot-long sandwich meal on the menu with all the extras for myself and her, told the cashier that her friends were paying, then before you could say Jack robinson, made a dash for the door and disappeared, living the girls to foot the £16 bill. (a difficult feat for them considering the fact that having just only arrived in the country recently, they only left home that day with just enough money for transport and only had £2 each on them to buy the sub of the day sandwich.

Who says justice is not sweet?

Tonim:

romeo:

aloib:

lmaooo, if i have money, i just put down what i have and most time its normally more than what i would pay if we split the bill or most times if its just 2 or 3 of us, i pay for it or whoever pays 1st( thats with my close friends sha), but if we r in a group, i just put down what i have but make sure its more than what i would pay if we split it, life is too short jare,

future meeting with one of the other six girl on his list morelike  ).

romeo:

Bushmeat and palma wine good but that your peppersoup and Star na die

I am addicted to Nkwobi and Star as well

big_bumper:


Are you sure? What do you mean by minimal checks? I know I am long overdue for a holiday but I am not ready for a stint at holloway maximum security yet. Is it the same "eyi je, eyi oje" checks them dey do for Heathrow airport or do they not have restrictions in place as per bringing meat products into the country?  

big_bumper:

Imagine one of your close friends bringing six of her friends that you don't know from Adam

If the person inviting her out was a guy, then it is a bit understandable (guys like to do effizy), but for a girl to do that to another girl is just low. That is why I was glad to be a willing partaker at the london incidence and was glad she got her comeuppance.

I am sure she has learned her lessons. Its time we start teaching our girls that there is nothing wrong with spending some of their own money once in a while to enable the man to be able to save towards the future (future meeting with one of the other six girl on his list morelike ).

romeo:

No be them get mad cow plenty? Cow wey mad for Naija dey enter belle straight

They are very strict ohh, but African shops do exist and they sell our things?
