1st shock:
Back in secondary skul, i waz a boarder so one day a female copper invitd my friend n I for lunch and guess wat!! She servd us garri n stew. To say we were shockd is an undastatement, cos our puzzld look told her dat somtin waz wrong. Wen she askd us we told her we dnt no hw to eat garri n stew. The rest na history

In d university my roomate dat grew up in d west always overcook beans until its nearly water n den he will mix wit dry garri and eat. That kind food nawaooo

A next door neighbour in skul dat is from benue came back one dat wit dried frog n co. n used it to cook yam porridge. Since dat day, nobdy in dat room near dat guy pot. Even d cup n plate he used to drink water after eatin d food became a no go area (untouchable).

One day i saw a female yoruba corper mashing beans wit broomstick. Mehn i nearly vomit n wen she invitd me to taste n food, i turnd okagbare.
That frog part tho grin. There are actually alot of tribes in Nigeria who eat frogs .. dried one grin. Irritating. I can only imagine the texture would be like rubber.

* The one I experienced today as I travelled from East to North, we got to outskirt of Kaduna, I saw one guy bend down, I was wondering what he was doing , I felt he was defecating, but I was wrong, he was urinating bending down like women. I saw another boy do same. I called my would be host to narrate what I saw and I was told it's their way. I have never seen such before. It was a culture shock to me.



the guy bending down It has to do with *CLEANLINESS* and exposing *'unclothedness* (which for a man is considered anything from the belly-button down to the knees)

Urine is impure..it is dirty..it nullifies ablution..and even if a drop of it gets on our clothes..we need to change them..or wash them..otherwise we cannot pray in them..or perform acts of worship such as read Qura'an..also..exposing the 'awrah is considered a sin in Islam..and the way some urinate exposes their 'awrah...I do not need to go into much detail..but I am sure you know what I mean..

Despite the attempt of Islam to instill cleanliness in them, majority of them still stink. I nearly passed out today.
