You are right.

Uziza, okazi, scent leaf, ewedu, bitter leaf, spinach, Ugu, shoko, water leaf and many more vegetables are there in Nigeria - but many are forming....so it is easy to miss or ignore what they have around them in the market.

Cost me less to make Kale stew for my rice than making straight stew

Also, people just focus on their own indigenous vegetables and not willing to try something else. Ewedu is an example. I doubt an hungry hausa person will eat Ewedu even if his life depends on it


Kobo, maybe the reason you haven't heard of Ujuju is cuz u dey form Domino pizza, shawarma and KFC

Kobojunkiee:
I had never heard of Ujuju before this and I doubt most have. It would be nice to know of lots more plants out there that could be used for food with cost of food as high as it is in Nigeria now.

Ma'am, report to the school and let the principal/school take the case - why make it social media thing ?

Lmao @ cholesterol going up just from watching

Kobojunkiee:
I could almost feel my cholesterol going up watching you use up all that oil for just one packet of noodle.

Village ant don follow you dey quarrel. Egwu la tu m o

They didn't see anywhere else to sting but your mouth - you quarrel with who ?

Butt bites were more common when I was little. So that ant still dey Nigeria ? We are almost done killing ours here

Sorry op, don't scratch it.

Kobojunkiee:
What other vegetables are local to Delta cuisine and not found in other areas that you know of?

I'm not really sure of other vegetables.
By the way, I ate ujuju while in Lagos and Ibadan.

I think same vegetables are everywhere in Nigeria no matter what part - just that some people may not know they are edible or how to cook it.

She is a wife material - is the guy not husband material ?

Stressful situation - no need endangering yourself Uber - Okada - bolt etc imagine she fell off the Bolt

Definitely a wife material because she refused to show you her real self ?

You see why Nigeria will never be developed country.

You guys like lies and wayo too much

Tajbol4splend:
No question about that, very humble, the kinda woman guys should go for, kinda woman who can do well for herself.

Rated R @RatedRestrictid:

"This guy asked me out on a date and I met him there. When we were about to leave he ordered an Uber. I didn't want to make him feel bad so I left in the Uber with him. He dropped me off at mine and left so I ordered bolt back to the where we had our date and drove my car home."

Nothing creepy about it - looks like some Nigeria universities or barracks in Nigeria.

Creepy looking buildings

We (kids) liked it plain. Straight plain ujuju vegetable soup for us.
We don't like any vegetable added to okra or ogbono soup too. To me, it's too stuffy.

Probz:
That’s actually the best thing (using a mortar instead of a blender/processor).

Does your mum make ofe ujuju plain or with okra/ogbono?

Who doesn't like Lincoln? Da name isa attraction and attractive.

Ginalz:
Dah mule isa ah addicted tah ah Lincoln. Hees brotha Jeshal dah sodomite isa ah drop out of ah skool fah ah suffa ahead affiliate marketing scheme

I look forward to eating it too. My mom cooked hers by first boiling to soften and pounding in little nwa mortar before adding to stock or base.

Probz:
Awka na my backyard (when I’m in Nigeria) so that’s actually very okay.

Ujuju leaf grows on ujuju tree, a not too tall tree at maturity. The leaf is shiny and pale green. The young leaf is used in making soup and very slimy unlike water leaf.

Water leaf is thick and doesn't grow on tree. Matured water leaf has tiny pod with little seeds inside and beautiful little flowers.

Use water leaf to make your soup and it fills your pot due to the water contents in the vegetable.
The slight slimy nature of water leaf is no match for ujuju.

You can cook ujuju alone or mix with other drawy soup - okra or ogbono.

The Igbos and Agbors know ujuju. Maybe the Edos
too.

Ujuju is not water leaf (gbure in yoruba)

Culled from Omoge childhood memory.

Kobojunkiee:
What is Ujuju then?

Probz:
Is it easily obtainable East of the Niger? Or would one have to trek to Asaba (or even further west) to get the leaves?

Trek to Umudike village -

Probz:
Has anyone ever tried the following tip: boiling ujuju (water) leaves, blending them and adding to the soup?

I love ujuju. I miss that vegetable

I don't like it being mix with anything. Just ujuju soup and some dried fish and crayfish.

People add it to okra or ogbono cuz it is naturally drawy vegetable.

Op,
Ujuju leaf is not the same as water leaf.

Hathor5:
Do they keep receipts to return them?

And some people on this forum argue that women are not marginalized in Nigeria. They have been used to very low standards for too long, I guess.

Good question - do you Nigerian keep receipts ?

Will there be deductions for wears and tears for her sojourn?



NIN - stop disrespecting yourselves.

MALIGNANTGuest:
Sometimes I am marveled at the way you LADIES of nowadays have decided to order men around with useless and baseless theories.

There are only 2 beings that can stop a man from marrying as many as he wishes.
The First is FATE (GOD)
The Second is the MAN himself.
Every other person is secondary.
Even his siblings nor parents can't stop him when the time comes.
Better wake up, else you will be sent packing.
LADIES who failed to get proper home training wll be redeployed to their parents houses.
These NEW GENERATION LADIES keep fooling themselves. As long as a man walks into your family house seeking to transfer you to his, he can equally return you back.
In DIVORCE a man never leaves his FATHER'S house nor village. Better wake up.

Only in Nigeria and other 3rd world countries can you people be doing "return you back" up and down.
Return an adult back ?
Wow!!

RIP general Powell.

Make sure you take a ride in the Lamborghini to get your COVID-19 vaccine.

We know them - the SarkniYarkis who slept through biology and chemistry classes because of inability to calculate molar mass and differentiate Hcl and NaCl , or use a pipet.

Sharap ..that Vaccine doesnt Work

Evangelynn:
Go and learn you are beginning to embarrass yourself was that what the scientists told you.Since we all know pain relievers and other medicines have side effects why do you still take them since it doesn't guarantee everything.

Dozis:
So today in the Pharmacy, a lady came in with a written note to buy the following antibiotics.
Perfloxacin 2
"Cipro infusion" 6
"Ciproxin tablets" 2
Rocephin 6.

On seeing the note I wasn't comfortable, I asked her who the drugs were meant for, she said it's for herself, I then asked her who prescribed it and she said a nurse, I asked her to call the nurse that I want to speak with her to know why she wants to give all these antibiotics to one person, maybe all the bacteria in the world are having a conference in the lady's body.

Not that the the one she wrote "Ciproxin" is ciprofloxacin and Cipro infusion is also ciprofloxacin but meant for intravenous use (these nurses usually call it Ciproxin or Cipro), Ciprofloxacin and Perfloxacin are the same class of drugs with similar mechanism of action, (same Pharmacology) just some differences in their chemical structures,

so basically this "nurse" wants to give one drug in two different forms (Ciproxin tablets and Cipro infusion) with another similar drug (Perfloxacin) to one person and don't forget Rocephin (Ceftriaxone) which is another powerful antibiotic.

So the nurse was called, I introduced myself as the pharmacist that wants to sell the drugs she wrote down for a patient and that I'm not comfortable with the patient taking all these at the same time, that it could cause more harm than good, she told me that the patient ran some infection tests and that those drugs she wrote are the ones that was recommended by the lab results.

Now let me explain what happened here, the lady ran some infection tests and the laboratory scientist also ran what is called antibiotic sensitivity tests to determine the most appropriate antibiotic to use for treatment, this helps doctors to go straight and prescribe the suitable antibiotic, just like hitting the bull's eye without beating about the bush.

So this nurse told me that according to the lab results, that the lady is supposed to use all the antibiotics that showed sensitivity, at this point my jaw dropped, I tried to let her know that she's making a mistake,she now told me to give the lady only "Ciproxin" I sold only a pack of Ciprofloxacin to the lady and told her this pack will suffice for whatever treatment she wants and that has needs further evaluation, she should go to a clinic and see a proper doctor.

She said she was directed to the woman because she has a good reputation of treating people of infections and they get pregnant afterwards, so it was a case of child bearing.
She left with the drugs and came back about thirty minutes later, that the "nurse" said that what I gave her was not Ciproxin, I collected my drugs back and refunded her appropriately. God knows I tried.

Her case was not the first and it definitely would not be the last, I see it everyday, nothing stops me from selling all those drugs and pocketing the money, but I have a duty which i also swore to, to protect and educate people on the dangers of drug misuse, that "Aunty Nurse" that learnt "nursing" on the roadside instead of going to school, that did freedom instead of graduation is who people prefer to patronise instead of going to hospital to get a proper care.

Bless you !! Keep doing your watch dog for those who are sensible enough to understand.

So not Aboki's fault - they should "unshut" Aboki.

Is trouble not loading ? - he is not in the country says you eh.

He has upper hand in building or developing the land prolly. So watch out. You mama has heard, seen or suspected something. You all be careful.

Eleken:
We are not fighting over the Land.
He's not in the country.. he called me few days ago.. that there's need to conduct survey on our dad's property in which all of us obliged. The process kicked off today. Dunno what prompted my mum to asked the surveyor the document will bear which name. The man said what came out of his mouth.


Long story aside we have sorted it out.. the document bears my late dad's name.

For monika that talked about tradition, we don't do that. Every son of the soil have share on his father's property.

The Thread now is for inexperienced like me to learn.

Bye everyone

True for some drugs - 2 hours before taking milk or 2 hours after taken milk.

PraisesPblaze:
1. I heard it's not good to take drugs with MILK.

2. Heard that one can drink intravaneous injection liquid and it will have same effect e.g adding the liquid to coke, even alcohol (gin).

How true are these?

adetula148:
Truly losing someone you love is painful but this is not real at all. I remember my aunt did create a scene during my grandma's burial. While my Grandma was alive mehn , that lady did not act like her daughter at all, she was rude and sometimes don't even call her at all. Sending money for her upkeep end up with complaining . But when mama died , she faint like 3 times . I wish my Grandma could wake up and give her a dirty slap. Rip to the dead anyway.

Prestonn:
A special lunch for you anytime you visit Abj

I will look for you.

Cook your own food. Make menu list - vegetables are cheap - so make vegetable soup. Spinach is easy to cook and is cheap.
All food is good -
Just don't over eat.

A pot of beans and bread.
Concoction rice with habanero pepper is delicious.
Spinach stew for yam, potatoes and rice.

Don't forget to eat 1 cup of rice 2 or 3 times.

In reality, women withholding sex in order to rid the city from crimes wouldn't work. It might worked somewhere else

TarOrfeeek:
Reminds me of Chiraq the movie

My only recollection from that movie was that sex scene towards the end with Nick Cannon.

Utterly disgusting stuff.

I really don't know what is going to help brothers see the light. Really wasted generations. Doesn't look like anybody cares now.

It is a very sad situation.

PrideofLincoln, what do you think ?

alizma:
It has nearly nothing to do with giving birth late. But more with necessary attention and understanding that women crave for after birth.

Attention and understanding should be given to a woman who just gave birth - should be mandatory! The human body needs it not the woman craving for it.

Husband can take leave from work...once wifey is pregnant, save your leave days. Take leave and be home at least 2-3 weeks to help your wife get the needed rest and sleep. While home, start making arrangements for who to assist for the next few weeks.

Octopusssy:
My thoughts exactly. Many women suffer from post-natal depression here in Africa but thanks to our cultural setting which is very communal and that doesn't permit isolation of new mothers, these women are able to scale the phase without damage. This story is just so sad.

Everyone is so busy/working in order to pay their bills. Highly possible her mom is working and can't afford to take time off work.

Hahahahaha

I hope to hit your restaurant, papi -
