It easy, just boil ur Palm kernel seeds till they are soft,pound and use warm water little by little to extract the oil and pulp from the Palm kernel, keep extracting it till there's no more pulp in the seed, don't let it be watery, boil the oil extract in a separate pot, in another pot steam your seasoned meat and dry fish or woteva u r using very well, add the meat to the oil extract, add your ground crayfish, pepper and a local igbo seasoning we call (Ogiri okpe)dats wot gives it dat local taste den finally, slice ur scent leaf and add! Dats all!

Tell me something.
Abeg how many people have died from eating Ofe Akwu embarassed

Not Ofe Akwu in particular but foods with high cholesterol. Unfortunately, there are no reliable data base to collect statistics on cardiovascular related mortality rate in Nigeria. However, let me tell this little story about a friend in Nigeria who was fortunate to go for medical check up in the US even though he was not feeling sick but obsessed with high BP. His lab result, the first he has ever had, showed that his cholesterol level - LDL (Bad one) was astronomically high. And he has been walking around with it all this while without knowing it! Cholesterol can build up in the bloodstream and eventually block the arteries. Do you know what that means? So, he was further referred for ECG (EKG) which revealed that part of his heart was malfunctioning. Finally, a cardiovascular sonographic exam was done which confirmed a condition know as atherosclerosis.

Whether this was caused by Ofe Akwu is another issue. The truth is that Ofe Akwu is a pot of excessively high cholesterol delicacy. Moderation is the watchword but staying away is the key. Optimal health achieved by making healthy food choices should be the goal of everyone who want to live life to the fullest.

Unfortunately, the reality is that life expectancy is on the decline in Nigeria, due mainly to preventable diseases. Ones choice of food being one of the main culprit. We are living in information age, our predecessors did know better that is why they invented that pot of high cholesterol delicacy. It is not just about "talk" as you stated, but for those of us that literally see the effect of poor diet in the body systems on daily bases, nothing could be so alarming. Health maintenance is way better than treatment of disease. Yes, we know that something must kill a man however, death is just the end process. The most difficult stage is the struggle to live during the disease process. The pain, discomfort, fear of what is going to happen next, exhaustion from financial stress, inability to function in ones favorite activities and job are some of the challenges to consider. What you eat is a precursor to your health. The bottom line remains that one can still eat and enjoy other alternative healthy food and live an optimal life free of disease.

Maybe you're right for me I believe its the stress that causes most of what you said above.

Good food is what sustains us.

Wifey too goes on about oil salt blah blah abeg Wetin person go come chop?

When she's not around cest la vie I don't hesitate to indulge myself to the max!
