Cameroon Pepper! by adonisgold: 4:38pm On Oct 16, 2011
Is it really from cameroon? Why is it so harsh? Why dont we ever see the fresh ones and why is it not sold in the west
Re: Cameroon Pepper! by tessybaby(f): 10:32am On Oct 17, 2011
do you have a picture of it?
so i can know which u are talking about.
Re: Cameroon Pepper! by Enoquin(f): 2:46pm On Oct 18, 2011
Some people also call it Ghana Pepper. I use it for my soups and have gotten quite used to it. I used to think the very yellow peppers were the fresh version till someone told me it wasn't. If by the West, you mean Lagos and co, I would gladly tell you that it can be found but mostly amongst the igbo and calabar foodstuff sellers, but if you mean Obodo oyibo, then sorry I can't help.

Osodi. We stay around Ifako, so if you know the market at Bariga, you'll definitely find it in these two places. you'd have to ask from an igbo or a calabar trader. Point to note are those selling Afang (okazi) or soupd condiments like dried mangala fish, stockfish etc. Those ones usually have it here. Here in Akwa Ibom though, it's almost everywhere you turn in the market and when I served in Abia, there were places that sold it in bulk.

Is it penja pepper?

Found that on google.

Seems its grown in the penja valley in cameroon.

I think this thick green vegetable common in the southeast is also grown in cameroon though i'm not sure.

You can get it in bulk at Gembu, Manbilla Plateau Taraba State. They farm the pepper in large quantities there.

Yes. A friend from Gembu(the dude is a Mambillan) told me a drum of dried pepper(the iron drums used by Hausa water vendor in those days which they carry on their shoulder with ropes) costs 25,000. There's cool money in farming.

Gembu and entire Mambilla Plateau is endowed with resources which Nigeria is yet to tap into. I'll love to go there before the year ends, I'd like to farm apple and the chili yellow pepper.

God Bless Nigeria.

Yes, I learnt Taraba is blessed. And the road from Jalingo to Sirte is in a deplorable state. God willing, I shall be in Mambilla before the year runs out. I'll come with a Mambillan friend of mine. The dude is from Gembu.

They have mineral resources and fertile land for farming in Taraba State.

Sardauna Local Government at 9,389km2 is bigger than my State(Osun State) at 9,251km2. They have lush green field and fertile land for farming.

Gembu and other towns/villages would have being a perfect tourist centre if Federal Government had invested into tourism there. Sometimes, I ask myself why didn't Gen Danjuma with all the Billions invest heavily in that state?

Most people are farmers. They farm Honey(Oloyin) Beans, Tea, Livestock Farming(learnt the cattles are very big), Corn(learnt their corn is oversize, very big), Banana, Plantain, Pineapple, Kolanut, Red & White Carrots, Irish Potatoes, Berries, Yellow Pepper, Apple, Sweet Potatoes, Coffee Arabica, Cassava, Cocoa Yam etc.

Not to talk of wildlife animals in Gashaka Gumti at Serti(the town before Mambilla Plateau), precious stones, waterfall, crude oil(it was not in commercial quantities thus it was abandoned) and other resources.

Over endow dey worry the state aswear. Yet, there's poverty in the land simply because the resources are not being explored to the fullest.

My state has rich land for farming. Solid minerals like aquamarine, talc, mica, gold(very pure gold), tin, etc yet the state is poor simply because the system is a feeding bottle system where we go to Abuja every month to collect akpalapala. How I wish we could go back to the olden days where every region had autonomy. My state doesn't have any business with poverty with cocoa and solid minerals in abundance. Too badt.

We have a long way to go in this nation. Until we look inward and tap the abundant minerals, we would be romancing poverty. May God help us.

Have a blessed week Ma'am.

No, I only read about the state.

Google is still my friend. Lols.

The Coldest towns in Nigeria are Gembu and Bang both on Mambilla Plateau. The temperature hardly exceeds 19C or below. What a Blessed State.

May God open the eyes of our leaders to see that it's not all about oyel.

It is well.
