Sorry to barge in like this. . .

But I want to ask usupry1 a question.

Why is there no contact information on you anywhere on Nairaland?

I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. . .
But there just seems to be no means of reaching you . . . save, er, this.

Sorry, but I just had to do it.

I guess I'm going to modify this post after you contact me via email.

Not to worry; you'll find me, programmer.

I am sure you plan to ask me why choosing Ethiopia food stores to get similar ingredients for Nigerian foods.

Because last year in Washington DC, my New York-born male friend who resides in DC took me out for exotic dining I liked to try out myself. He was the one introduced me entering Ethiopian restaurant that find me interesting to eat.

It was so delicious with Authentic Ethiopian food! Wow! I also fancied with all waitress/waiters---all American-Ethiopian physical looks I never seen HOW BEAUTIFUL they are.

It was located in Adam Morgan area in Washington DC---very popular international diversely suburban nearby few popular universities---easily accessible to just like Greenwich in NY.

I wish for my rural hometown, it need more African residents to live there to break their misconceptions about Africa. I am tired of seeing too many Mexican everywhere in my rural town, WHERE ARE AFRICAN ones?

My rural hometown has only 11,000 population with approxiate 800 business---35 miles southwest driving distance from major big city. (Famous Slavery/Civil War battlefield historial tourism) It is also 3 hours driving to Washington DC. It has no public transportation---bus, taxi, subway/rail/train between rural town and major city----most of us rural residents are commuting their own cars to major city for jobs round trip 70 miles in 5 days a week, not bad for them.

Low crime rates but heavy on domestic violence arise because of isolated rural town that make lot of youth/teenagers feel boring to death to hurry up graduating high school to get out of there. Majority residents are elderly and retired professionals---relaxed quiet environment.

what state do you live in Maryland or Virginia. I use to live in maryland and i have never seen a nigeria food store, only ghanian and liberian.

SeanT21:

i don't know about nigeria food stores but Liberian food stores are everywhere in america. While in america, i have never come across a nigerian that actually eats nigerian food. A nigerina friend of mine said he was never going back to nigeria fro some reason.

what state do you live in Maryland or Virginia. I use to live in maryland and i have never seen a nigeria food store, only ghanian and liberian.

American food are not all snacks. Have you eaten turkey, fried chicken with Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens, Salad with dressing, Soul food,Tacos and Burritos, you must live on the wrong side of america.

uspry1:

Yeah, Ghanaian, Liberian, and many other African food stores are everywhere in both state Virginia and Maryland! Only Nigerian food stores are not found anywhere.

According to the author of Carribean cookbook where I found from google, she created all recipes marked "bold content" of book page stated that those recipes are come from Nigeria, you can buy all Nigerian ingredients at any Carribean food store in the USA. It does not say it found in Virginia or Maryland.

I will not answer which state I live in. By the way in my university alma mater in Washington DC, there were largest number of deaf black students are from Africa- - -most West Africa, East Africa, and South Africa. They all were clingy together all through their undergraduates/graduates studies earning either Bachelor/Master/PhD degrees to return their motherland in order to establish their own business or deaf advocate helping other deaf Africans.

They (deaf Africans) were the ones has STRONG VOICES about fighting against the human rights of deaf African at their motherland on our university blog/newsletter/e-letter VERY POWERFULLY.

I am myself neither Nigerian/African nor live in Nigeria/Africa, but I am black American. I eat American food, Italian food, Chinese food, Ethiopia food, and German Food I love any exotic foods. I will someday to visit Africa.

All Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC are the largest multi-cultural diversity everywhere I bump into different people with different races, ethnic, and nationality.

i feel you. when i use to live in MD, my school had nigerians, liberians, seirra leons and alsmost every african people. That school was the best. AMERICA IS DIVERSE, especially if you live in DC, MD or VA.

Why wont tell me what state you live ini promise i wont stalk you.
