Your story is the American dream of just about anyone living here...the tales of hustlers esp immigrants ever since from the founding fathers.
Take it easy and don't cut too much corners to make big profits...may the road ahead be smooth!

Prestonn:
Baked Jollof Rice is common

I can't do it the local way using just wood to cook the rice, so I used my oven to bake the rice. Some people might do it indoors, I choose to use my local Oven outside to have that special taest

Photo of the oven below

So they don't sit on the floor anymore ?
Must be good to school outside Nigeria!

Lol @ ekuke !
Your mouth eh!
Liberation is eternal ! Na small small.

Logobenz3:

So you like pepper like me they ran out of habanero because of me!
I like my stew super spicy unless I'm entertaining or if obim says otherwise.
Have you tried 'blazing wings' at BWW?
Love Moscato and Roscato....some cool summer mist!

cococandy:
1) Very spicy pepper soup.
2) Cocktail of vodka with moscato, fruit syrups, sliced apples and oranges.

@sassysure this one you can drink. You won’t even be able to taste the alcohol but you’ll get such a nice buzz after just one glass. Even the vodka already has peach flavor before the mix.

Dried hausawa fish for stew is bae!! Very on point!
Good one there!

Mariangeles:
Concoction rice with smoked fish and crayfish is always on point.
This should not be mistaken for palm oil rice ...turmeric ( my new best friend) gave it the hue

We use grind stone ofcourse. In the process of washing the bitters out, you pound excessively before blending. My mom uses grinding stone or high powered blender.

ubcandid:
How do you blend?

How can you eat such sweet thing with that bitter herbs ?
Give me the croissant and Starbucks white chocolate mocha!

Logobenz3:
Dinner for people like us that don't have much appetite but smoke all day
Triple black Nespresso and croissant.

@ Op
Must you specifically tell the world the EOD meeting you had with some British people? You have to be careful.
If you can, modify that part of your post and ask all who quoted you to modify.

Next time, just say hi or hello.
Unless you've known them for some time.
Non value added question in a business meeting.

I thought Edo Esan people way of making ofe onugbu is the bae!
Freshly washed bitter leaf, blended into smooth paste etc
Same method but bitter leaf is blended. Highly yummiest.

Flaccid diccckkk is okay because it can be packaged well in your pant now. You want it big for all to see ?
You want to be walking around with something big between your legs?

Hopefully, not again - Good thing is people are not buying homes left and right!

PDPGuy:
Yes, there are genuine fears about a looming recession in the U.S.

i can't help not laughing at the whole post

TheShopKeeper:
Trump was supposed to give a speech on energy. He went way off script.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/13/donald-trump-energy-speech-pittsburgh-1461337

Here are some of Trump's most off-key comments:

On the supposed benefits of natural gas over renewable energy: “When the wind stops blowing, it doesn’t make any difference does it? Unlike those big windmills that destroy everybody’s property values, kill all the birds. One day the environmentalists are going to tell us what’s going on with that. And then all of a sudden it stops. The wind and the televisions go off. And your wives and husbands say: ‘Darling, I want to watch Donald Trump on television tonight. But the wind stopped blowing and I can’t watch. There’s no electricity in the house, darling.'”

On his construction chops: “I was a good builder. I built good. I love building; in fact, I’m going to take a tour of the site.”

On doing some campaigning: “I’m going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, ‘I hope you’re going to support Trump, OK?’ And if they don’t, vote ‘em the hell out of office because they’re not doing their job — it’s true.”

On his love of trucks: “I love cranes, I love trucks of all types. Even when I was a little boy at 4 years old, my mother would say, 'You love trucks.' I do, I always loved trucks, I still do. Nothing changes — sometimes you know you might become president, but nothing changes — I still love trucks. Especially when I look at the largest crane in the world, that’s very cool. You think I’ll get to operate it? We’ll put the media on it and I’ll give them a little ride, right?”

On pundits suggesting he might not leave office willingly: “Can you imagine if I got a fair press? I mean, we’re leading without it; can you imagine if these people treated me fairly? The election would be over. Have they ever called off an election before? Just said, 'Look just let’s go, go on four more years.' You want to really drive them crazy? Go to #ThirdTerm, #FourthTerm — you’ll drive them totally crazy.”

On what Trump perceives as a trade imbalance with Japan: “They send us thousands and thousands — millions of cars, we send them wheat. Wheat. That’s not a good deal. And they don’t even want our wheat. They do it because they want us to at least feel that we’re OK, you know, they do it to make us feel good.” This assertion is false.

On the price tag of the presidency: “This thing is costing me a fortune, being president. Somebody said, 'Oh, he might have rented a room to a man from Saudi Arabia for $500.' What about the $5 billion that I'll lose — you know, it’s probably going to cost me, including, upside, downside, lawyers, because every day they sue me for something. These are the most litigious people. It’s probably costing me from $3 to $5 billion for the pleasure of being — and I couldn't care less, I don’t care. You know if you’re wealthy, it doesn't matter. I just want to do a great job.”

On his pledge to salvage manufacturing jobs: “You guys, I don’t know what the hell you’re going to do. You don’t want to make widgets, right? You don’t want to make — do you want to learn how to make a computer? A little tiny piece of stuff. ... You put it with those big, beautiful hands of yours like … you’re going to take these big hands, going to take this little tiny part. You’re going to go home, ‘Alice this is a tough job.’ Nah, you want to make steel, and you want to dig coal — that’s what you want to do!”

On the number of members of the media at the event, at about 2:45 p.m.: “That’s a lot people back there for, like, an 11 o’clock speech. That’s a lot of people.”

On the Oscars: “Like the Academy Awards during the day, it used to be — you know the Academy Awards is on hard times now, you know that right? Nobody wants to watch it. You know why? Because they started taking us on, everyone got tired of it. It’s amazing. That used to be second after the Super Bowl, and then all of a sudden now it’s just another show because people got tired of people getting up and making fools of themselves and disrespecting the people in this room and the people that won the election in 2016.”

On attacking Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden, potential 2020 rivals: “I did it very early with Pocahontas, I should have probably waited. She's staging a comeback on Sleepy Joe. I don't know who's going to win, but we'll have to hit Pocahontas very hard again if she does win. But she’s staging a little bit of a comeback. What a group — Pocahontas and Sleepy Joe.”

On Mexico deploying soldiers to stem the flow of Central American migrants: “I want to thank Mexico, it’s incredible. We have close to 27,000, you think of that. We never had three — I think we had about 2½ soldiers, one was sitting down all the time. We had nobody.”

Nigerians, hope you are learning! This is just a good way of making your voice heard in order to make things happen not by siddon, praying or attending vigils !

Wake up tomorrow, knee down by your bedside and pray. Stand up after praying and dress up in your excercise clothes and go for a good run for about 30min to 1 hour -run. Do it five times a week. Make sure you stay away from meat pies and other high carbs meals. Eat healthy meals. Add mushrooms, avocados and fruits to your daily diet.
By the way, take up the teaching job as long as it pays for you to eat!
Humble yourself and do what it takes to survive.
Forget the ones that jilted you- not the end of the world sis. One little step for yourself.

Apply for scholarships and if you can't get any, please start farming, buying and selling etc Leave finishing school idea alone at least for now.

Do traditional wedding and then registry only. Please budget only 50k. Every one should pay for their transportation and help only if you must to say old grandparents or parents if coming.
Use 50k to buy and sell....start life from there.
What is she doing ? She has to work. No matter how small to supplement! She and her family should contribute towards the traditional wedding...such as feeding the few invited guests.
You must invite only few people 10-15 maximum!
You don't want to start life begging for money to support marriage, birth, feeding baby, etc
Everyone has a cross to carry.

Make sure you only have two kids max! Use protection and space your children.

I don't see the need to rush over such caloric food.
If self serve and buffet style, why the rush ?
That must be London people *shrugs*
The people here eat Amala filet with class

I will marry someone who loves me and someone I strongly love too so that my kids won't make me the center of their universe when they are old enough to be independent. Thank Goodness for the beautiful individualistic/independent climes here. Carry on bro

eni4real:
Become a mother of a grown adult first, then we can talk!!!

The Mother's love for a son is the purest ever... When you get to that level you will understand. You can ask your mum... She will enlighten you better. She will not be biased...
Love for one's wife is a romantic love that must be taken seriously with loyalty and responsibility... But it become complicated when the wife is trying to compare who her husband love more....
It make no sense because there is no basis for comparison. The love is different....

When my wife become a mother of a grown adult, she will understand better. Words cannot describe the love I have for my mother for her selflessness and dedication to my progress in life... Any responsible lady should have the same love for her mother too..

My wife should wait for her time. .. It is not by being an XX being.. It is by hardwork...
May all mothers eat the fruit of their labour (Amin)!!

Reason many kids in Nigeria don't have stable home life...madam spends her time fighting extra girlfriends or iya! Time their fathers would have used creating a great home environment, they will be using for "loving my mom more than my wife" so glaringly thereby creating a toxic home life for their kids.
You have a wife and children and your mom is your priority?
To the extent your wife would need to drag position?
Africans! Your father should be doing this job. She has raised you well by putting energies, resources, youth and time on you- now is time for you to pass it on so that your wife will do the same thing for your children by creating a non dysfunctional and toxic home. Married men, don't underestimate undivided attention!

Yes we should help our mother but should not make them priority to the extent wifey has to "drag" for attention.

eni4real:
Even fathers no dey drag positions with mothers
That is why it is said that, "Mother is gold"


My mum is my Cristiano/ Messi. She is the best!!!

Any girl that think she is woman enough to drag position with my mum should wait for her time.. May be when she invest all her energies, resources and youth on her son, she will get the same Idol treatment from him.. Only time will tell..

But for now, all these girls should see themselves as a Chukwueze

When it comes to Nigerian food, you only have to think inside the box
Oh, I saved the native pot my mom sent me for when I eventually make masa.
Just messing with you all along

sassysure:
I didn't see this

But I stated that I don't know how to prepare it na
(There are lots of thing I love to eat than prepare)
It's good to think outside the box, u know

We still dey her neck nah for masa recipe. Na she kukuma bring masa long throat come this thread. I be dey manage corn bread muffins ko. We dey wait for sassy. Haba, na how long ?

breadplanets:
see me planning to go unearth my muffin pan before I read your disclaimer.... Mtcheww

Yes the lil sour veg soup...yakua (?) right.
As a kid, loved mine in sugar
As yarinya, love it in yaji- those cold mornings and aroma of masa
So sad what they turned the north into now!

Halcyon123:
It can also be made with corn but the rice own is the most popular one. If I tell you the distance I go to get masa bah, like three drops from my house to the masa joint. You need to see traffic at the spot. Masa is bae especially the one with the soup. I have a friend who can make badass waina n the soup, oh my. I usually make too

Share recipes please. Masa fan here!
Best thing ever about my adopted place - Northern hemisphere

sassysure:

No.
Rice or with one other legume. We call it northern Akara.
White. The process is tedious. I have masa frying pan but never did it.

Seems u never journeyed to the north.

I even eat it more than akara
So addictive.

I can't tell the difference at least before soy rub

cococandy:
Yes it’s miso soup.
Looks unappetizing but literally the best light soup ever.

I love Chinese but usually eat what I recognize

All,
Please where can i buy Kiwi fruits in Ibadan ?

Yes, you can!! Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying!
Singing Jim Carrey's i believe i can fly - i believe i caaaaaaannnnnnn flyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

allsaint2000:
If I start saving N20 from today, maybe when I am 40 years I should be able to have the money for this.

One is in LA. Tried their food once. But didn't ask for nwakobi.

cococandy:
If I find African restaurants, the first thing I’m going to eat is nkwobi

Favorite thing is Japanese minus raw seafood not a fan of Chinese -i don't want to eat jumping chicken aka frog

That's Miso soup right ? @cococandy
Love it! A great fan of seaweed here

cococandy:
What’s your favorite thing to eat outside of the house?
Mine is either Japanese or Indian.
Chinese is a second favorite.

I’ve never seen any African restaurants here. I haven’t heard great things about African restaurants outside of Africa anyway.
What could be the cause?

Here’s a new sushi place we discovered, with ALL YOU CAN EAT sushi. Somebody say alleluia. Love it. They have white tapioca in their bobba tea instead of black tapioca. Different experience but it was lovely. We’ll be going back.

Look at the dirty ground she is walking on with a one million naira glasses? Misplaced priority!
