I won't even be sure the person hasn't tried my Nigerian food. But trust me he or she will regret it because my foods are spicy grin

I am moving out of here very soon.

What do you often cook apart from Nigerian dishes? I am tired of rice and bread every glorious day. In fact I am tired of chicken. Fellow housemates have mocked me tire each time I fry chicken (Chicken again or rice everyday? embarassed) the fish skinny fishes in Lidl costs €4.99 for two.

Henceforth no charity again. Every fruit stays in the room.


Welcome to Deutschland, I was like that in the beginning, I ate only rice and stew, bread(American bread) and tea, then potatoes and spaghetti,
After about 3 Months I did not like what I saw in the mirror.
This is how my daily meal looks like.
Morning: I take oat and Joghurt with coffee/ bread and eggs with coffee; you can take this interchangeably
Afternoon: Something heavy, Rice and stew with meat/chicken/pork. or if I have egusi soup, Eba/gries/poundo yam.
Evening: I avoid eating much. vegetable salad or some hard german bread with cheese on it. or Just fruits.
If you are the very active type and not always at home switch evening meal with dinner but avoid eating heavy meals after 20 pm.
You can also add some protein shakes in between, it helps.
I really don't eat out, unless invited by friends.

Trust me, eating light for dinner will help you sleep well and read well..lol, not to talk about maintaining your six packs grin grin

I don't eat anything except Nigeria meals. Though I get bored sometimes but I don't really have any alternative. I'm even tired of chicken. Haven't eaten it in like two months. The chicken here isn't tasty, I'm sure you've noticed that.

Buying fish is cheaper in Asian stores. There is an Asian store around the main station. I think, there are actually two.....

I cook yam and also Irish potatoes. Spaghetti and plantain. Also Nigeria soups. Don't tell me you've only been eating rice grin....
Hi, do you buy Nigerian food easily there or you prepare by yourself? also for Yam, beans, Ogbono and Egusi etc can you readily get them from stores or you make do with the ones u brought from Nigeria?

I buy it easily. Since Frankfurt is a big city, it's not that hard to find an afro store. There are about 3 in my area. ..

Thanks to my lack of German proficiency, I wasted the major part of today.

I think I got a call from McDonald yesterday that I should come. A friend and I applied for work online sometimes ago and we were called for interview but he got a rejection email afterwards and I didn't hear back from them until yesterday.

The craziest thing is that I presently do not know if they were the one that called me, because what I could remember from the phone conversation was Morgen which means tomorrow and the street where the place is located.

I went there today around 11.00 Uhr thinking I would be signing contract nah. When I got there, I kukuma speak my Nigerian English and the guy in charge of the shift delayed me a little and said I should come back by 3pm to meet the manager.

Long story short, I went back home and came back to the place at exactly 15:00 Uhr. I met another a different manager from the one that interviewed us and he was like he is not aware of any call being made to any worker. He said he would have to speak with the other manager then get back to me ,sorry for the inconveniences' he said.
So disappointing and right now I still don't know who called me. I will have to call the number back tomorrow.

I pretty hate the fact that I am losing a lot of Summer job opportunities because of the language and trust me this is the best time to work and save towards winter because the cold won't be funny at all. It is safe to say I am pretty frustrated right now.


Anyways sha, these people believe in their team. Almost every stores and cars are decorated with their flag.

Picture was taken at the McDonald's store

I have to learn the language a lot these days so that I can converse and get corrected by my tandem partner.

Yes I got a tandem partner today and he was so much fun to be with and I am so sure this will help, I just have to put my own effort now. grin grin I am so happy.... Ich bin glueklich tongue

I almost forgot this tongue. Thanks to oga blowJobs, while we were conversing, I had to search something on the Internet and given the fact that I follow his posts alot and I often need to search his moniker when I am not logged in, it automatically comes of search suggestions on any website I go.

Dude say blowJobs and he was like hmmmm blowJobs nice embarassed I couldn't explain myself. Only God knows what's on his mind now grin grin
