I'm not here to talk about any Tecno Boom J8 or Glo, Etisalat or even MTN.

Rather I'm here to tell you about how to pronounce recognize Nigerian foods especially when you travel out.

See pics below for their English names.

You can add yours too if you know any.

Can you people not westernize the names of our food?

Add this to our already going extinct cultures and traditions and we are finished.

Let good old Kuli kuli and other names on that list remain as they are biko.
