Because in the olden days, rice was a very special and scarce commodity, eaten in a big man's house during an occassion.

As time went by, it started being grown locally, but still in subsistent quantities. So average families could afford to eat it once a week. And as Christianity started penetrating into communities, Sunday gatherings became common, and was seen as a very spacial day. Hence the average families cooked rice mostly on Sundays.

Now it's become a tradition.

*oral history by my dad.

We cook rice everyday

nothing like Sunday rice, Sunday is for rest and nice lunch amd meals to follow.

It's has become Norm @Op...

I was about going for my weekly shopping and something just came to my mind, is there any rule that state we must cook rice for launch on Sundays? 90% of households in Nigeria eat rice very Sunday. I just decided to cook yam and egg sauce tomorrow to see if something unusual will happen

It was originally as a result of poverty. In the past, rice was expensive that families couldn't afford kt as staple diet so it was eaten mostly on special occasions and Sundays.

Omo na bread and tea

those days rice was a luxury, we only eat it as a reward for good deed, going to church and behaving well was a good deed

Saying that 90% of households in Nigeria cook rice on Sunday is erroneous. Who did the research, you? Have you forgotten that some are Muslims, Christians and other religion. Even in Christian homes, not everyone cooks rice on Sunday. If you say 30-60% cook rice on Sunday, it will be pardoned (a range not a definite figure)

poverty ravaged Africa and as at then rice was luxurious so people planned to cook only on sundays since they rest and visit friends on that day..Before u knew it..It became a norm on defendable and almost ludicrous to explain.

Tradition has made it so.

My body used to do me one kain if I don't eat rice on Sunday

Katier00:
About cooking my yam o. Yam is

Do quick and invite me.

There was a time in the old days when eating rice was specifically for Sunday's. This tradition was dominant in the igbo culture that it was Nick named "rice ugbosi uka" meaning Sunday rice.

Food’s always coloured by subjectivity. You know damn well what she’s trying to say without having to over-rationalise and quantify everything to a T.

Because Sunday's are for somtin lyt....

@LetMeComAndBgoing....

when you chose to cook yam I am pretty sure you knew nothing would happen.

Just finished cooking my Sunday rice. All my life,i have never missed Sunday rice, never. My parents made sure we cook rice every Sunday even when my father is not a fan of rice. Now that I'm married, I continued with it and I'm going to pass it on to my children. Sunday rice is a sacred tradition

Which kind question b this? Why do we eat food?
