@ Cococandy

Yes we should make it lovely snack or meal.
My fav growing up in the north.

I think you can use white Asian rice. Not sure of using basmati or jasmine due to aroma.

Rubyzz:
I don't know the English name, its the rice used for tuwo

she was really fired up hopefully her boyfriend's father liked the act.

AmazonTopaz:
The Kimberly guifoyle challenge on twitter is hillarious

Good, thank you. Masa was my fav childhood food.

Rubyzz:
I soaked a cup of rice overnight, cooked half cup in the morning and blended both with onion. Added 2 spoons of sugar, a tablespoon of yeast and baking powder, pinch of salt
Then I kept to rise for 2 hrs. Brought it out and fried it, that's all

Kim was on another level
I kept wondering what happened to Jr eyes too. It was so red maybe red contact lenses came to my mind.

Obrigardo:
They are a total mess.
even fox news are cutting away from most speeches

Ms. Kellyann Conway announced she will be leaving wh the end of August.
I wondered why she is leaving in the midst of election? Quite abrupt....umm to focus on her family?
Maybe a fallout with oga on top ?
I will miss her mischievous grin

share how you made your masa and measuring pls.
I love masa!
Did you use miyan, yaji or plain sugar as sides?

Rubyzz:
First post here

Masa/ waina made in my kitchen...

Coming in, coming in
Coming out, coming out
Coming out from the cold (smoke)

Did you remember 2016 ?

AmazonTopaz:
Only Joni Ernest I think spoke in 2016.What happened to the speakers of 2016.
Paul Ryan,Peter Thiel and others are they not in agreement with Trump anymore.

The convention will be a disaster

Lack of food and basic ?

Why should two people with no financial security marry?
If they were forced to marry, why not use birth control till they are financially secured enough ?
You said there are millions of people are like her in Nigeria, why?
Why do people continue to go around in the cycle of poverty ?
I have met people in the west who decided not to have kids or just have one child because they are not financially strong or don't have the time because they prefer to pursue career - why can't Nigerians adopt such?

Mother land - una well done. Na only African God gave reproduction parts to.

Ferebiekunake:
About two weeks ago , we saw a video online about a mother of two who was allegedly abandoned by her husband due to her blue eyes . Her two children have similar blue eyes . In the video , she claims her husband abandoned her because of her blue eyes and because her two children have similar eyes . The story caught my attention as a paediatrician and a mother . My first reaction was to organise a meeting with husband and wife ’ s family to educate them.

However , I had my doubts about the story . This was mainly due to the fact that Risikat had the said eyes from birth and husband married her with the same .And went ahead to have three children . I started to wonder about the initial story more and more as the
husband , Abdulwasiu, was interviewed and he told his own side of the story . Now , what followed was what I didn ’ t prepare for .
The family were turned into stars with all kinds and shades of people trooping to the poor neighbourhood where she lives with her parents . Politics also came in and we have heard all types of promises from the family and social media .

What ’ s the real story ?

The young family of Abdulwasiu and Risikat suffered from financial shocks that arose from the admission of the twins they had close to two years ago . That was her second birth and the babies were born
prematurely. They ended up at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital neonatal intensive care unit . The family spent all they had and sold practically all they had . Thereafter , one of the twins died . Risikat had difficulties coping with no food and other necessities . She moved back to her parents ’ house . Yes, hubby isn ’ t a saint and his family didn ’ t do their best for the young couple . However , it was the lack of sustainability that led to the crisis. From the stories told , I am sure this is obvious. Both Risikat and her husband are not educated . Risikat ( dropped out of doing her WASSCE because of lack of money ) had a small patent medicine shop which crumbled during the said admission of the twins . The husband is a vulcaniser and owns a bike . Do you see the family dynamics ? There are millions of young families like this in Nigeria without social security .
No health insurance and no support for the children too.

I am therefore surprised at the media hype and story line without anyone stopping to ask questions . I suspected some people wanted to gain from the story and exploitation of the naive lady had started in earnest with someone appointing herself as her manager and another , her lawyer . She has suddenly become a big company that needs to be managed . And percentages are already being discussed . Sad!

What the family needs is a means of livelihood . Get a tricycle (Marwa ) for the husband and get a patent medicine shop going for the wife . Support them with a little cash and foodstuff . If assisting them with accommodation is on the table, do so in an area they
can sustain in the next two or three years.

Some of the most absurd things I have heard in the saga is that the children will be placed in a highbrow school where hundreds of thousands will be spent . By who and for what purpose? Even I won’t send my grandchildren to such schools ! Help the family put the children in a school they can go on paying themselves in the next two years . Don ’ t create a false status in the family and throw them into disarray. Assist them realistically and in a way that is sustainable . Don’ t widen the rift in the family by pulling the lady further from her husband. Talks about relocation to Lagos to model smack of attempts to explore , expose , use and gain from the lady . At the end, she is dumped !

Can you locate the lady and her children? Ordinary people . Let them go on with a better life in peace .

Instead of running to each case that ’ s hyped in the media , my prayer is that government becomes more responsible towards providing basic education , universal health coverage , good housing, potable water and social safety nets for its citizens . This is
not about Kwara State alone but Nigeria as a nation .
Our citizens deserve better deals .

Are you trying to take him to his papa so that you will have the freedom to go out with other men and marry?

Behold the Peace Deal - the deal of the decade put together by Donald 'Jenius' Trump

Kushner's secret push to sell F-35 jets to UAE causes frustration among US agencies and lawmakers

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/20/politics/kushner-uae-israel-f-35-fighter-jet/index.html

A secret push by President Donald Trump's senior adviser Jared Kushner to sell advanced arms -- including F-35 stealth fighter jets -- to the United Arab Emirates has caused confusion and frustration among agencies and congressional committees that would normally be involved in such a sale but have been left in the dark.

Kushner is supporting the administration's discussions with the UAE about the potential advanced arms sale, which have been led by the NSC Senior Director for the Middle East, Miguel Correa, a senior administration official said.
The tight hold on details about these discussions has created confusion across the US government, two State Department officials and multiple congressional aides tell CNN. Trump said the potential sale was "under review" during a press conference on Wednesday. He also said the Emirates have the funds to pay for the military hardware.

Thank you ifyalways! Chukwu gozi gi!

of joy! Happy for you. Keep on with the creativity!

Seen the alert, God bless you ifyalways.

I'm also grateful to you Armyofone for liking my Essay therefore making me win this.

What is their pay and cost of living allowance like ?

How did you know she went in there to finger herself? She excused herself from the act cuz she wasn't in the mood. Read between the line.
You have to make sure business is going on well na because lack of money is libido killer don't ya know ?
Who want fu...ck when market no get customers, profits or money to take care of things ?

portune:
You said it perfectly well bro. When I make efforts for us to have union, she wakes up, goes to the bathroom, urinated, uses the opportunity to finger herself to her satisfaction only to start saying shez not in d mood. With my condom on oooo. During her ovulation period that a wife rarely regects her husband if he is wearing protection. Pals this case is above me. My action may be resolute and firm when the time is up. She is just a bitter woman . One with emotional issues and highly unnecessary unforgiving spirit even when no serious affront was made.

Leave my brother alone Both of you guys are something else.

HOW ArmyOfone Number 8 SPENT HER COVID-19 LOCKDOWN PERIOD

Beautiful weekend in an amazing serene environment was all I planned for ArmyofOne and I. A whole lot was put into this plan before the announcement of a lockdown due to the corona- virus. She had promised to teach me to make Masa, Indian cuisine, and even some native soups like Oha, Ogbono and Okro.

Plans changed, flights cancelled and a whole number of restrictions were imposed all around the world including the country we planned visiting. We had to be patient for our safety. I never knew she likes food, not just about eating but also cooking.

6:30am 2nd April 2020 she called and we discussed on the Ogbono soup she promised making for us during our cancelled vacation. She asked if she can still make it and send to me. I said yes, at least that would douse the sadness that enveloped me after the lockdown was imposed. She had all she needed to make the soup. One hour later, I called her on whatsapp video call only to behold the sight of a mouth watering soup…so appealing to the eyes. How do I get a taste of this ‘’ now-now’’ I asked myself.

Week after week she made mouth- watering dishes such as Indian foods, Okro with Mushrooms, Masa, Beans and Agidi, Bitter-leaf soup. Seeing all these from her on my status gladdens my heart and the same time makes me sad because I can’t eat them all.

Sitting at home was just boring. I was always in front of the Television watching what several countries pass through under this pandemic. I picked up my phone and called my friend Armyofone to know how she spends her lockdown period. She told me she visits various food sites and blogs, then head to the kitchen for practice. She said has learnt about 27 different foods all thanks to this restriction. I could only concur as my status is always filled with pictures of mouth-watering dishes from her.

Early morning calls between the hours of 8am-10am is a delight for me since the lockdown. Getting Armyofone on phone is always difficult within this time frame. We talked about this during one of our ‘’Virtual dinner’’ and she informed me she’s always in her farm during these timeframe. She planted pumpkin, bitter-leaf and garden egg. ’’I’m really enjoying this lockdown, I never knew farming is fun’’ she said to me. Our discussion lingered for over 4 hours where she told me she also spends time reading about family issues, crime and romance. ‘’ Learning from all these will help me become a better person and well informed too’’ she told me. She intimated me on all she had read thus far pertaining to a wedding cancellation by a certain couple, a woman beaten by a catholic priest, Joe Bidens choice for Vice President ahead of the US elections.

We ended our discussion about a certain girl that washes her brother’s boxers. ‘’ Does your sister wash your boxers?’’ she asked me. ‘’ No one ever does that, I do them myself’’, I replied. She taught me a lot on personal hygiene and its importance. She made me understand she’s rounding up her cooking lessons on all about Uziza soup, making of cakes and sausages. ‘’ when flights resume properly, we will still have our vacation together where I’ll spoil you with variety of delicacies’’ she promised me.

As our conversation ended I sat on my bed imagining how happy she is, making use of this lockdown period in learning how to make lots of delicacies, baking, farming and reading more about romance, crime and family issues.

I cant wait for our vacation to have a taste of all she has learnt, I cant wait to watch Armyofone cook.

Highly creative!

Armyofone, a Legion to all. You'll always marvel how one could become a Legion. The regular Pa Lejoka Brown's parlance, "one man battalion" doesn't do much justice in describing this personality. The one woman legion surfing through the digital world and the Corona saturated world.

One would wonder how this Moniker spent her lockdown. Although the world is gradually picking up from the aftermath of covid lockdown, Army ofone already moved in swift flight as she understands not being infected and surviving covid is a tricky business. And indeed, she has survived, not just surviving Nigeria but moving from the Asian cities to the "Land of the Free" and down to London for some hot Amala.

Amy understands the Nigerian financial literacy in comparison with the countries she has been to. Hence, during the lockdown she encourages planning for the future. Saving and planning for the people around her in terms of making right decisions and profit wise. After all, what's the point of trading 1 if you can't earn 3?

She keys into the school of thought that Nigerians spend extravagantly once there is little money.

During the lockdown, she lays empasis on life being a game of chance and the need to take risks. She showed positive support by first acknowledging the lack of jobs and the need for employment to boost an individual's pocket financially. She opined and questioned why we sow wild oats and carry small small chicks and side chicks up and down all over the place once there is a slight financial improvement.

As schools were closed during the lockdown, she took her time to teach little ones how to ride a bike. Although her little ones doesn't have any transportation problems, she figured its good for kids to learn new things. She invested their free time in a profitable venture and bike riding may be fun but it's an admirable skill. And when her kids watch movies rated"R" with her, she explains that things they see are unreal.

Armyofo ne doesn't eat too much but she can make Akamu, peak milk and Akara every day; twice on a Tuesday and thrice on a Thursday. The army of Akamu 24/7 365

She is a big fan of quality life with a cup filled with sweet red ITALIA ROSCASTO sitted beside a plate full of well seasoned goat peppersoup. Then when the evening comes, she would have been deserting up and down with banana, cold stone, vanilla beans ice cream and some warm apples pies

Her intereste in discussing intellectual and philosophical questions that botheres on Human dignity is limitless. It wasn't only the covid19 that gave birth to these thoughts but it accelerated the questions. To her, the most important thing in life and in death is simple burials for all and not the extravaganza of killing 4 cows and 10 Buffalo with a field filled with party tents. What are you celebrating?

She spent her lockdown making sure all lines of deception painted with native and local white chalk are wiped out of her road to redemption. She is aware truth is singular and the bibile is her yardstick for those looking for God in the lockdown. She exposed thieves in sheep clothing swindling people, who out of innocence and belief pay pastoprenures. Why pay that much and let pastors use the money to eat egg, butter and jammy bread, peak milk tea, French toast and fresh fruit breakfast. While you, the one paying them "fake shiloh and Thanksgiving" eat eba and fish less soup for breakfast, akpu for lunch and tuwo and meat less soup for dinner.

Armyofone is indeed a voice of self, hope and an army of truth

Lol, interesting! Well done o nwannem!

Social distance indeed

That's too much money for the poor American! Please tell him he's being scammed asap.

Rep of Jesus Christ huh? He is not worth his onion!

Not a good material for priesthood.

Thank goodness she has something unique that's about to help her. I don't really know why Nigerians continue to rope themselves and cycle around in poverty. You have no steady job but birthed kids ? Not one but two? What happened to waiting till there are enough resources before marriage or children ? He abandoned them before because he couldn't provide.

How do people make love in such conditions?

Jara,

Hope nobody falls for this scam!!

I got into it with that Bozo yesterday. The foool was vomiting garbage like a garbage truck. I told him to go to his Sports section where his likes be hustling for money. These are guys that when you see them in real life, you will feel sorry for them. I do not understand how a Black Man from the heart and soul of Africa can support an unrepentant vile racist Pig. You and I and few others here like PDPguy, Armyofone and few others here will vote for Biden and these Bozos will be lamenting on Nairaland as usual.

cococandy:
1) I bought Uziza seed. Very good and flavorful.
2) No oha and nchanwu because I prefer them fresh.

3) The main thing I was looking for was smoked cat fish. Couldn’t find it anywhere else but there. It was really fresh like you just got it from a naija market. About $48 for 1kg (2lb). Which is a bit pricy but I was desperate.

4) The ukazi was still green. So that was good.

Other stuff were just seasoning stuff. I like her jollof seasoning. The fried rice seasoning was ‘okayish’

I haven’t used her peppersoup seasoning yet but I doubt it will beat foodace’s peppersoup seasoning. I used to to order from her from UK before she stopped selling.

5) I got some moi moi cups from her. $18 for a set of 12. They got discolored after one use. So don’t buy that one in case you’re tempted to.

6) Abacha, Golden morn, cassava flour. Were all good. The cassava flour was a bit like Delta starch so my DH loved it.

7) Her Cameroon pepper was hot and flavorful

I hope it helps. Goodluck

Lovely!!
Thank you so much!!
I just started craving somethings - and the cravings are out of this world!!

Still looking for it to wash my throat and lungs.

Golan007:
Wrong.

The economy bottomed because of the ineptitude of Trump.

How can the 'greatest economy" on earth be so ravaged in a matter of months due to a virus that he downplayed?


Matter of fact, the global recession is down to the US lack of leadership and clarity, with Trump's flip-flopping and prevaricating on what should have been straightforward strategies.

How's the Clorox going by the way?

Thank you! Did you ever buy uziza, oha and nchanwun leaf? If so were they good ?
What did you get and how good?

cococandy:
Carrygo market . Com

I was going to give you feedback but I forgot.

I think you’ll like buying from them.

@ Cococandy, bia where are you ?

Please what is the website for the African food you posted a while ago ?

Searching for uziza, smoked fish and smoked shrimp. Amazon doesn't have what I want.
