"Before now, I used to make sheer mockery of people, who enjoy taking pap and akara (Beans Cake) in Nigeria" – In fact, I tell people, why must you give me pap? Am I sick? Lol. Because only sick people who can’t eat other quality foods, are begged to take pap, tea or bread, at least to hold the stomach. Smile.

Well, I have recently realized that Ogi or Pap or Koko (in whatever language you choose to call it) is actually good for the body for many reasons and it is an ideal breakfast, anytime and anyday.

Very quickly, for those who don’t know what Pap is – Well, Pap is a processed maize grain, turned into light liquid food and acts as a good energy source.

In kids, it is used to complement breast milk and supplemented foods after a child is 6months + in native Nigeria.

In Adults, it is an easily absorbed food like custard that doesn’t go wrong for any one. Pap is for everybody, from old to Young, rich to poor.

Akara on the other hand, is a processed grinded bean, turned into fried cakes. It’s an amazing native cake with commercial importance in Nigeria. Almost every where you go, you will see an Akara seller in Nigeria.

Well, here are 5 Reasons why you should start your day with Pap and Akara.

1. It is the Cheapest Nigerian Food –Pap, in the categories of myriads of local foods is just too affordable for anyone. With #20 or #50, you can buy pap that will be cup-filled and you will have a great feeling. To me, pap is the cheapest and fastest to get, Nigerian meal when you compare it with bread and garri.

In fact, there is a general saying in Yoruba Native Marketing that “Owo idako mu ni” – Meaning it is as cheap as the money to afford a pap. Lol!

So, when anyone says this to you, to drive sales, know what it means please.

Akara on the other hand is also relatively cheap – with a cup of beans, you can have like 5 balls of fried akara that you will eat to satisfaction.

2. An Ideal breakfast: According the Nutritionists, a great meal for starting a day, should be light and energy giving. Heavy foods are not advisable. And when you talk of foods in these categories, like Bread and Tea, Light yam and Egg, etc. Ogi (Pap) and akara should top the least, not only because it is faster to cook but economical like I said before.

There is even another saying by the Elders that “when the whites take tea, our great grandfathers do well with pap and the feeling is mutual”. Lol. Try Pap today.

3. Amazing Nutritional Benefit: The combinations of (Ogi) Pap and Akara is not doubt a balanced meal for good health and body enrichment. The origin of pap, which is maize, is a rich carbohydrate source. Akara from Beans give protein too. To give a better advantage, you can also add Honey or milk, for full health benefits, and you will always take to have more.



Well, Do you know with a #700, you can plan your everyday breakfast for a week and cut budget plans your family food ? Smile.. Think about it.

Go and prepare your Pap now or plan for it tomorrow.

Good morning, have a pappy day.
