Most people don't make fried rice the way I like it: quite spicy, otherwise it just tastes like plain rice, oil and overcooked vegetables.

Nothing beats Mr Biggs Jollof Rice for me

As for white rice, it depends on how nice the stew/sauce is.

I was planning to open a GTB account for a while but just seeing the queue at the branch near my house all the time put me off.

Dis Guy: Another thing i dont understand with all banks= even with all their efficiency why they don't ever post anything to you, whats the point of taking customers address when you will be required to be physically present when you have a problem- all banks
statements are never posted, complaints will require physical presence etc etc- they should stop requesting your address then, imagine if other service providers also require proof of address like the banks do when opening an account

So that EFCC can know where to find you if you misbehave

This story is a bloody make-up. From the appalling grammar to the "United States Official who wished to remain anon". When last did you read an article where a US govt. official chose to remain anonymous?

Pathetic journalism.

malign: No training whatsoever, I'll be in Nigeria soon, are there any I should look at?

Unfortunately I don't know any place specifically. But in my experience, getting formal training in your hobby makes you much, much better.

It's quite good!

Have you had any art training, short course etc or considered it? I think you should.

I stopped sometime last year. It was so weird/great cutting my nails with a nail clipper

One day I was really stressed and relapsed. I haven't stopped since then

I think this post is motivation to stop again. If I can give any advice from my six-week hiatus, it would be to just stop. I don't think there's any other way. It's not addictive like tobacco so you can actually tell your teeth no when you feel the urge, without needing any nail polish and the likes.

Oh, and here's more motivation

kayfeez: my work

But that is not a photograph...

Mod if you see this, maybe create another sticky post to showcase poster and flier designs.

Well it's 7 now and there's no sign of Jona on my screen.

Faith? I'm sure you meant fate.

Is the NCC's regulation a draconian one peculiar to countries with a volatile security situation like Nigeria, or is it commonplace? Just wondering.

Sincere 9gerian: While few mischievous and jobless Nigerians are busy hating and cursing, our dear President Goodluck Jonathan received several rounds of thunderous applause and standing ovation while he addressed the South African parliament this afternoon.

Whao, my president never fails to deliver

He received a thunderous applause from the Nigerian people fellow politicians who know very well that intermittent clapping and a standing ovation are part of the laborious protocol you give when a politician reads a speech. Abeg sit down.

I heaved such a huge sigh of relief after reading from the first line that the bridge is actually completed. Not another pre-election promise or agenda item. Kudos to Fashola

On PC, photoshop or GIMP will do.

On my iPad, I've used Powercam to achieve a similar effect. On Blackberry, LensBoost.

[quote author=mr.foxx]Yea am asking if it on system what is the Name of the software,
Even if its an App on phones what's the name
Thanks bro[/quote]

It's a very basic blur manipulation; could've been any decent software.

Or are you asking about a specific mobile app?

[quote author=mr.foxx]Please guys I need your help with identifying the
Application used on this picture
I got it from a friend but he'll never disclose the name of the App to me
Please help I know when I get here
This problem is solved thanks in anticipation[/quote]

Thanks for this thread.

I've become very wary of "instant" foods that are meant to compensate for your busy or lazy lifestyle. Just the other day a chef was telling me about how liquid marinades are packed with harmful preservatives.

Procedure:
Add the 3 tsp of salt in a large bowl, add enough water and place the chicken in it to soak for approximately 30 minutes
Beat the egg in a small bowl and mix with the milk
In another bowl, pour in the flour, add pepper, garlic, salt, onion, and paprika, and mix very well
Remove the chicken from the water and dry with paper towel
Using your hands pick up the piece of chicken one-at-a-time and dip it first into the egg & milk mixture turning it around to make sure it is well coated with the mixture
Then immediately dip it in the flour mixture turning it around to make sure it is also well coated in it
Then dip it back again for the second time in the egg & milk mixture and back again in the flour mixture, making sure that it is well coated.
Do this for the rest of the chicken pieces making sure that it is completely covered and well coated in the mixtures during each step

In a large pan heat the oil until hot and ready for frying
Carefully add in your coated chicken pieces one by one and dip fry for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces until it they turn out golden brown. Do not forget to turn it occasionally
Now KFC uses pressure cookers to fry their chicken which i don't recommend you do at home, especially if you have kids around

Remove from heat and drain in paper towel
Serve and enjoy with your family. It turns out very crispy

Oh, and it's Southern Fried Chicken, a style of cooking chicken that probably predates KFC. What makes KFC distinct is their secret combination of spices.

Allenbaba: I just hosted a website on a free hosting plan to test it. The website is mealsonwheels.eu5.org. Please your opinion about the website is highly welcome. Thanks!

Not bad at all.

The background on the homepage is a good idea and made me a little hungry in fact. It's too 'out of focus' on the Ordering page though, and I can't make out what the food item is which is a bit disconcerting.

The use of branded packs with REAL FOOD and prices makes your business believable. I cannot stand food franchises that use stock photos.

chux76: Still need advice and suggestions

Most popular recovery software will get some, if not all the files. Do a google search and most importantly, don't record anything on the camcorder till you're done with the recovery.

Gerardcole: Proceed from *123*4#

Sorted, thanks bro.

Na Laugh: Canon 7d at 8k mocks the industry.

Is it too much or too little, I'm confused.

Hi guys, for some weeks now this is what I see whenever I check my bundle balance:

which sucks, because it would be great to know when I'm about to run out of data. I've never tried to unlock the modem.

Anyone else had this problem?

Nope, nothing wrong with academic titles for Pastors. In fact, I prefer they use these titles outside of church circles so that they don't solicit any preferential treatment as 'men of God'.

However people like Prophetess Dr Mrs FirstName LastName PHD JP must make decide which is the most important.

Your tablet isn't going to impress anybody in the interview. Sure, use it to read up about the company or to revise any answers to the set questions you're likely to be asked.

If I was an interviewer, I'd expect you to be bright enough to hold an intelligent conversation without referring to any notes.

opestein: MINE WAS SAGEM MY X1......LIKE 8 YRS AGO.........LOL

LMAO, where on earth is Sagem? I don't think they still make phones.

One day I was bored and then...

Not a bad first-time effort overall!

I like your font choices.

I agree that it's too green, maybe an outline with a complimentary colour (gold, yellow, orange) around the central text could help.

I don't see why you shouldn't capitalize the first letters of words in the very first line.

There are proofreading snags, like an f before Gymnasium, no plus sign before the very last phone number, Covenant spelt incorrectly (unless for some weird reason the group chose to misspell their name). With all these, if I am your client, I won't hire you again.

The text of the venue and artistes are aligned left but the date is aligned centrally, you should be consistent.

It's good that you didn't use any corny or cliche images of wedding rings, a white couple hugging each other on the beach, etc.

What a useless sham. Why should I pay to enter a competition?

Its none of the church's business!!!

ikennahill:
well you dont need to pay any tout

get the documents needed if you go through the thread you will see them already mentioned

I advice that if you like orderliness go to Abuja embassy of south africa

On getting there they will check your documents and tell you to go and pay the visa processing fee of 8.6k @ one diamond bank (bank charges not included,on paying this t you come back 24hrs after paying to present teller and you will be given date for interview,
on the day of interview you will come with all original documents requested with their photocopies.
After the interview if they view you successful they will tell you to go and pay the repatriation fee ,110k (bank charges not included in this,u will still pay like 7k for bank charges)

you come 24 hrs after to get your receipt and you will be told the day to come and pick your passport.

This is the normal route however every embassy have the power to change the way they do thing on group of people or individual.

When I tried to go there a few years back I was told that they only deal with people that live in Northern Nigeria. Does this rule still apply?

Kx:
facebook as usual.
Does Obama use FB this much?--- just asking.

He tweets.

To amuse myself with the utter crap, and because of homesickness.
