vickspider: Loved it like no other......

u luk pweetie in ur pix

Johnnoah1st: I knw dere factory in offa, d factory as been shut down so dats y dere product doesn't exist again

Point of correction...Factory is in Ijagbo, not Offa

Was crazy about it, used to keep my transport fair of 5k to convey me back home, then to buy the short cake and one malta biscuits or temitope biscuits untill my father(a civil servant) noticed that my pair sandals were wearing at an alarming rate, he investigated and when he knew, I got the smacking which was not as painful compared to the satisfaction of eating the short cake.

muyik78: Very disshearten, i pass tru the place recently with my whiteman boss,he simply said why wont that happen when our everything is oil, he was looking for fresh milk, throughout the whole of our journey tru swest,he could not find .He turned to me in anger in third day of our tour saying u felt bad about that company dt foldup, why wont it happen when with all these vast greenland u have , all u pple can think of is oil,can oil sustain u and further asked me can ur babies drink oil? i pondered on it for several days. okin is gone,so many will follow until we change our attitude toward agriculture.

We all get this very wrong, the problem with Agriculture is not oil, it is our value system, where we do not value hardwork, where people relate your work rate to your status, believe me if there was no oil we will still not go into Agriculture, maybe we will be into cocain or some other activities that feast on our quest for continual degrading value system .......

But in any case, I love Oki busicuit especially the crisp and slightly burnt ones(either the round one or the short bread) with Treetop drink ..... hmmmmm

I like it die

I loved it so much back then. I wonder why they've gone extinct. Or are they still in the market?

i loved it

You've never eaten a biscuit till you've ate this one... and cabin biscuit of course!!!!!!

i never saw this biscuit,perhaps it is not sold in northern Nigeria.

Jarus: The owner of the company producing it, Chief Adesoye (also the proprietor of Adesoye College), is now old and the company has been struggling in the last 10 years.

The grammatically correct title for this topic should be:

Did you remember or eat Okin biscuit?

siddiq202: Jarus,

You forgot to mention that the owner also have a private radio station (Okin fm)....I attended fedpoffa

no. the station belongs to someone else. He owns Adesoye College rather. It's one of Nigeria's premier private schools and it's bigger than some universities.

i recall stealing 25k(the single coin) from my mum's purse in pry 2 to buy Short cake.
Short cake was so addictive.

Back in Uni, it was 1 or 2 packets of Shortcake + a bottle of coke for lunch on most days. Wonder if they still produce it

I need the recipe for that shortcake… best biscuit ever
