Yeah, there is black soup. It's a delicacy eaten by the Edo (Benin) people. The leaves (bitter leaf, scent leaf, and sometimes, uziza leaf) gives it that color.

Preferably, use banga oil instead of palm oil. It gives it this local flavor.

I wouldn't say I really liked it because of the bitter leaf but the chunks of meat were things to eye . We used to eat it from small earthenware pots.

Wow!
Thanks babe. My first time hearing about this. Ehen!!! There's a lot to taste o... But why don't I even have an Edo friend sef? I think I'm missing out on some parts of being a Nigerian

Do you know how to prepare it Shuga?
I'll like to know if the bitterleaf is washed first before using it for preparation of the soup.

Ferdyboss:
Afang and Ekpan? Those are two different delicacies dear. Not compatible as a single meal.

I'm definitely not going to Ekpeyong's compound. Who is he sef?

Wait a minute Ferdy, where are you from?
You seem to know so much about this Akwa Ibom people dishes. Is there something I need to know

About Afang and Ekpan, they are not compatible truly. But I wanted the combo cos you'll have the former while they serve me the latter

Ekpeyong? Have you forgotten him? He's a good friend. Remember him from our primary school reader ... lol

Babacele:

LastMumu:

This thread is now crawling...


Where are the occupants?

The echoes of silence

can be heard from faraway lands

With broken legs and clipped wings

I see a chatroom with no chatter.


What a disillusioned irony!

*sad face*

Fkforyou:
Yes I am, thank you. I trust you are doing great too.

Yes I am, thanks.
It's a pleasure having you here.
Do have a great time and don't fail to chip in one or two things whenever you get the 'hunch' to .


I'm looking forward to your contributions.
Thanks

Whether the weather be hot,
Whether the weather be cold,
Whatever the weather,
We'll weather the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

culled from Nursery school rhyme

This, I believe is the state of most of Nigeria's graduate today. It is a weathering state. Someday soon, we'll be the storm!

exactly what the breakaway crew always say

Backpack lover

yorex2011:
thread beginning to look like a breakaway thread from the main job/vacancies chat room

Look well, it's not a breakaway but a learning ground. We are in a discussion class

This is an exposé taking place here. Let me sit and learn. *Gets a writing pad*

Fkforyou:
Hello, longtime.
Let me follow this train...it seems it has prospects.

Now you're funny. Hop in!
And yea, long time! hope you're doing great?

Wow! Wow! Wow! Ferdy you are the boss! Now I'm loving this thread

Ferdyboss:
Amicable09, this your story is now looking like a book you are planning to publish

Lol. Ferdy putting ideas in my head since the days of Job in the bible

I am surprised at what I'm doing sef, the plan was to write some tips not a story. Let's see how it goes. Get ready to take over from me if I get stuck

tollyB:
thanks dear......amicable09 great job,love...have been off for a while...

You are welcome back
Hope the going is good?

Sitting comfortably in her high rocking armchair while thinking to herself at the level of well crafted laziness exhibited by a young graduate. She couldn't think of any other reason on planet earth why a graduate with a good degree in this 21st century business world will be unable to compose a catchy mail. Had she not known him 'directly' she would have discarded his email because it was fit only for one place... The thrash can folder. Just Like many before him, she never hesitated to ignore their CVs while moving on to better composed ones.

But today, in her office she has only one thing on her mind, to expose Audu to the realities on ground. The corporate world is not for those who are too lazy to communicate clearly. Articulation is important in communication. Nobody is going to enter inside of you to get the thoughts, words, ideas or whatever out. If you can't express yourself in writing, mind you, not writing 250 word essay but writing a few lines or paragraphs introducing you! Getting a beautifully designed copy and paste CV trills no one, worse of all, gives your email no attention. Not even the Head of Human Resource, JobLand Consult International, Mrs. Alabi will give it a second look.

Audu woke up feeling rejuvenated. He spent the whole Tuesday rehearsing in front of the mirror likely answers to some of job interview most asked questions. He even surfed the net for answers, cramming most of them. He liked the way Jarus introduced himself in one of his write-ups for Shell's Assessment day tips. He brought out his notepad and copied out the words, he planned on saying it verbatim. The look on his face in the mirror resembled that of Frank Donga though, he couldn't tell why. Was he nervous or something? He has been working on his shyness for months now, in fact, he has a progress diary where he puts in daily update and looking at what he's done so far, it won't be out of place to say he's overcome shyness by 45%. But how can he know if he doesn't go for the chat today and slay the 'interview'.

Interview?
Who even said he was going for an interview? Is this not a case of putting the cart before the horse? Ideally, he should get an invite for an aptitude test first before the other three stages of the recruitment process will fall in. It is Jobland Consult after all! A subsidiary of an American multinational company.

Anyway, protocols can always be broken when you know someone that knows someone at the top or in this case when you know the 'top' madam already anything is possible. So Audu prepared himself and ran straight to the Ghana-must-go bag where he stores his clothes. On opening the bag and pulling out his only whitish grey shirt, he realized it was rumpled. He was relying on PHCN to restore power since 2 am they turned off whatever switch they turn off to put the citizens of Nairaland in darkness but up until this morning no show. In anger he brought out his blue polo and dirty jeans trousers, he'd wear it with his sneakers, unfortunately his only belt was lent to his best friend, Emeka who he met in camp (now into importation business) to wear last week. There was no way he will get a belt this morning, nonchalantly he shrugged his shoulders and began dressing up.

What does this meeting mean to you?
I have a feeling it will pan out well. What feeling have you?

Kuphreh, I don't think I will like this thread to take the shape you have just introduced.
I'll overlook it this one time but I won't if you repeat it.
Create a different thread for commission based work. It takes equal amount of energy to post there as you've done here.

Thanks.

Jamean:
I know you're aware that Otedola doesn't carry bag pack

Jamean you hit the 24" nail right on the head!
Kudos

Ferdyboss:
I want to believe "Backpack to Briefcase" is actually figurative because some of us still use backpacks

Ferdy the boss!
Na matter how deep your love for backpack is, we know where your briefcase is

You've got a point sha, it is figurative.
