hmmm,nor be small thing

Bukas, mama-put etc no qualms with them, so long as they are clean. I pick mine here in Warri. And I set standards. The place must be clean.

Now, there's this place off Airport Road where one Calabar woman cooks. For once, it's the cleanest mama-put in town. So, when I eat my sizzling hot semovita and edikaikong soup in the afternoons in that place, I know I will need more than one hour for break in the office!!!

kudos to the person that started this thread, @ jogego, i remeber that particular buka at shita that u were talking about. It is beside the LSDPC estate and beside Surulere Night Club at Akerele. i used to queue at that buka too, but there is this amala buka i like to go again. the buka is at Babalola rd in Itire, dont know if anybody know that place .

abeg make una ignite this thred o!!

im loving it!!

@ bukeye, where u at? That buka on babalola road, itire! My o my! My entire family, i no go lie, enjoy that buka's meal. Even my aunt, whenever she visited lag from Aba, made sure she always ate there before leaving lag, and this is someone who ordinarily doesn't like amala.
let me tell u g.u.y.s one secret. Then, whenever we felt like eating, i would be given money to bike to and fro and i'll carry my school rucksack, lil did u know it was full of coolers which in turn was to be filled with hot sizzling amala n orishirishi!
Gosh!!! I so miss that place, (we've moved)

Buka food is overated.!

maybe where u live, they no sabi cook or too much flies and agburo

most of you people are just like middle class American kids who wear white tees, put jewellry in their teeth and claim that they are killing "n|ggas" and robbing "n|ggas"

What is so nice about buka food loverbwoy?. I ate at bushpath (what you know about that). At I ate at Nicon Noga the food at Nicon Noga, and Sheraton was better and more hygienic

I'm not saying buka tastes bad, I'm just saying the way everybody is raving about buka reminds me of the Emperor's clothes. People in Yankee are saying I miss buka food, oh oh give me a break, like you try it when you go back home

Buka food is OVERRATED !

@loverbwoy, fork n spoon ke? When ma hands can do justice? Lol.

@zebu, no one is overating bukas here aight? I mean, pple are telling how much dey miss something n u say they are over rating it. Probably u don't like d food and environment, others do, aight?

zebu,how do u know its more hygenic? they might have spat in ur food

Buka food is really really nice n u "feel" it, u know when u eat something different from macdonalds n powdered "punded yam" which is usually made in a rush u can feel the difference

made by proffessional "chefs" plus the whole environment hmmm

There's this nice lil place at Shitta (Surulere, Lagos), where they have the best amala & ewedu in the world

heeeeeey, ya'll be talking about bukas in lagos, what about ibadan? they got nice joints too - Inastrait and Iya Ope used to be da bomb back in the dayz when i used to live there. dont know about now, but hmm, it was so funny to see all these rich guys with pot bellies parking their jeeps in front of the Iya Ope buka (in front of Mokola market where they braid hair), with cute university girls on their arms. hmmmm. the buka wasnt the most posh setting but the food was fantabulous!!! never knew what the rave was all about until i tried their rice, dodo and assorted meat. whoooooooo! it was like going to heaven and coming back!!

I usually dont like amala, eba all that but Inastrait food was deleeeeeshhhhhhh!!!! their "roundabout" (amala + gbegiri + eran orisirisi, right?) was something else. my family had days when we wouldnt cook but instead buy food from there for lunch. imagine! upon all their talking about not eating food outside! e be like say those women put jazz for their food. just like styl plus said in their song "Iya Basira". lol

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, good memories!!!!

Hmmm soulpatrol. Am asking ma friend bout these places in ib, would try em out wen i find maself in mokola

@topic
i think the track 6 in STYL PLUS album iya Basira should answer your question about bukas

mama Ope and Ina straight were my joints in my UI days

IAH did u go to Unity school Osogbo, cos i remeber sneakin to that Olubusayo canteen back in d days

Bank oleimoh rice on akerele str surulere not far from shitta

also the big buka almost opposite first bank in Marina envrionment is clean and you can see them cooking the food on the other side. Cold drinks available too


also found this place in UNILAG recently behind student union buliding


in my school years we would got to abeigi behind amina hostel for peppery stew there was also jesus embassy at new hall

i have one, when i was in primary school in mende-maryland lagos, i and my twin were walking home from school (we decided to ditch our driver) anyway there was this woman that sold rice on the street and if u didnt have a bowl she would put it in a plastic bag (transparent nylon), anyway sha so i and my sis are chopulating this thing on the street and guess who decides to drive by, stop and reverse. yes my mother in the back sit of her benz. at that point it was hard to deny what the hell we were doing with the goat meat between our teeth. she did not even say a single word, she just wound up her window and left, so i and my sis ran our asses home only to see her waiting for us wiht the longest koboko money could buy. After that evening of pain and torment, i vowed never to eat mamaput on the street again, and only to eat from places that at least and a door or something to protect me from prying eyes.

That's a funny one kath

anyone remember asaro with fried plaintain and fresh fish or assorted meat at unilag? che che che ! delicious
