Could this possibly be true? I saw this in a WhatsApp group

If anybody is willing to believe this? What do we make of the people that have since died of Corona virus. What of Abba Kyari, did he die of typhoid as well?

Honestly these nonesense whatsapp broadcasts are doing more harm than good. I still don't get why people are trying to downplay the havoc this virus can wreak.

A daughter of a family friend works as a nurse. One of their patient who unknowing to them returned from an overseas travel came for treatment and after few days did not respond to treatment after showing symptoms of COVID-19. Their CMD stepped in and called NCDC and they evacuated him after taking his sample and it came back positive. The doctor and nurses that attended to him were extremely lucky to have taken necessary precautions. The hospital was later shut down and decontaminated.

This virus is real. All these conspiracy theories will only make matters worse.

So i decided to make large moi moi nd share for the kids nd beggars at my bus stop this evening!
I have ordered my fresh bread from the bakery, I will be eating the same food tonight
#breadandmoimoi

We are waiting for the tasty moinmoin

Here I am, thinking I'm picky. Well, I've just met the vice President, picky eaters association .

I know I'm worse. Growing up they tried punishing me and forcing me to eat those things it was counter productive. I just decide not to eat anything instead.

They let me be . I outgrew some of those aversion sha, but not all

Leesah:
It's Egusi o. Lol..... Now you're making me crave for ukwa even though I've tasted it just 3 times

Funny thing is I've never seen anyone preparing it that way. Roasted Egusi truly tastes better than groundnut but I can't bring myself to try it
I'll try to blend it next time with pepper and onions..... There's also another way of blending Egusi with onion to make it come out like Awara
Are you still a picky eater?

Yes I'm still a picky eater but not as bad I used to be. When I was younger, I only eat ewedu prepared freshly. Once the ewedu is preserved till the next day I won't eat it. I also don't eat ewedu that has egusi mixed together, it must be purely ewedu.

In fact I the only soup I eat then is efo riro and freshly made ewedu with stew. I don't eat egusi and vegetable, ogbono (my mum calls it Akpon), we don't eat okra generally,gbegiri and I don't eat that plain egusi soup without vegetable. So then swallow was a big deal for me.

I also don't eat carrot, pawpaw and fresh fish. I eat most of those things now, but not all.

I served in the north and for a whole year the food items I survived on were bread, yam, potatoes, beans, rice, spaghetti, noodles, porridge, Plantain, mango, sugarcane, oats, eggs and Amala ( which I only ate about 3 times towards the ending of my service year when I discovered a Yoruba Buka in town)

Hear the nonesense this one is saying.

1. Who made you special adviser to all South west governors?

2. Have u called Buhari in Aso Rock to advise him on so many anomalies going on under his nose?

3. Hear him talking about the governor populist agenda because he listens to his people. Obviously He's saying the governor should take tough decisions and not mind how the people that put him in Power will feel......smh. The definition of Democracy as being " Government of the people, for the people and by the people " is definitely lost on him. I'm sure he enjoys the "constituted authority" approach to government adopted by the Broda Isiaka Ajimobi..

4. Maybe the governor was busy listening to his people and doing their bidding when u called looking for favors / contract.

5. Baba please let the young man take his time and focus on governance and stop whining. When his 4 years ends let his people decide his fate whether to reward him with another 4 years or send him packing.

6. For now bàbà go and hustle more for Ur law practice save money to buy Ur Governorship nomination ticket come 2023

Leesah:
Yes I did before blending it

My mum used to do this a long time ago. She fries the egusi in a hot pot without adding any oil to the pot. When it's crispy brown she takes it off fire.

If u pop the egusi in Ur mouth at that stage it tastes better than ground nut. I remember how I used to scoop a hand full and go to devour it when she's not looking

She blends the egusi with pepper and onions after which she will cook it without adding vegetable, just meat and fish. I however do not like the soup she makes from it afterwards. In fact I don't join the whole house in eating from it. I don't understand how one will eat egusi alone without vegetable.

I was really picky as a child. A whole lot of food I just don't like eating.

eph12:
Of course the state governor is responsible. Every governor is supposed to be at alert because of this pandemic. Nothing should be taken for granted. He has people on ground and he should have swung into action asap

U are not getting it. This increase in total number of death is more like a work of investigative journalism.

Reporters went to Muslim burial grounds in certain areas and the attandant/security on ground confirmed there has been sudden increase in the number of people being buried in the cemeteries in recent times. It's not the state government even noticed. It was only after this report was published that the state government noticed and with few confirmed COVID-19 cases in the hospital.

Most of the people obviously died of COVID-19 in their homes or private clinic treating malaria with herbs or normal anti malaria drugs.

The main issue actually is now that the government is aware, it isn't doing enough convincingly to curtail the situation. The governor is interested in people going about their normal life without the tough decision that comes with a total lockdown, the people who are mostly unlettered believe "Babu Coro" and the elite who have traveled in recent times are hiding in the comfort of their homes without getting tested.

Kano's problem is a sorry tale of an irresponsible governor, an ignorant populace, illetarate clerics, and useless elites all bound together in one tragi-comedy.

sleit:
This looks nice.

How do you fry the yam? Do you have to boil it first or something?

No, I didn't. I fried the yam in vegetable oil the normal way yam is fried.

The plan was to then fry a sauce and while the sauce is almost done ; toss the already fried yam into the sauce and take it out after few minutes.

However for my own case I had a leftover sauce from the breakfast I had that day and this sauce was made with a mixture of vegebale and palm oil. So after frying the yam, I added a little of the left over sauce to the vegetable oil on fire and added my already fried yam. This gave it that yellowish color because of the oil base of my left over sauce.

pocohantas:
Ah, stay safe o. This Lagos wey we dey, if you no find trouble, trouble go find you. I hope we come out of this soon.

Yeah, I hope so too. Stay safe as well

pocohantas:
Lol. Our wahala too much, no be if you talk am. I like bold onions, not very bold pepper, but I like to see the red.

Preparing for Monday?

Over preparedness is worrying me already sef. All we've got now is face mask + insha allah/ Blood of Jesus.

Hopefully we won't get the virus

pocohantas:
This is scrambled. Like some people here have said, it is either egg or a sauce, not both.

Curry or turmeric? I like the bold pepper and all. Enjoy your breakfast.

Curry it is. And yes I like my pepper being bold

Naija people and wàhálà. Na dis thread I know there's something called egg sauce, now I'm supposed to forget I ever heard anything like that.

I don't know if this qualifies as egg sauce or Naija scrambled egg, but na wetin I use rush 5 slices of bread commot ground dis morning be dis

Thanks.

Won't it burn if you keep stirring and stirring?

How long do I parboil the macaroni?

How do I know the quantity of Maggi to put?

When you add the Macaroni, do you also add a little water or you just leave it like that?

1. I use turning stick for stirring. U can use spatula if u have one.

2. The I don't usually time the larboiling of macaroni o. I just toss the macaroni into the boiling water and check for it to be soft a little before draining the water.

3. I used just a cube of Knorr chicken for this very one I prepared and added little salt.

4. I didn't add any water to the macaroni after adding it to the stir fry. Adding water at that stage makes it soggy. I already made sure the Macaroni while being Parboiled was soft enough.

Ishilove:
Recipe?

Ingredients: Macaroni, diced carrot, Dried prawn, diced tomatoes(2 pieces), diced rodo( 2 pieces), chopped onions(a small bulb), groundnut oil, curry powder, thyme, seasoning cubes and salt to taste.

Process: Having Parboiled the macaroni, I drained the water and set it aside. No I heat up my oil after which I add my diced carrot and allow to fry on low heat for about 3 minutes before adding the diced tomatoes, rodo and onions. This Iet to fry for at least 5 minutes before adding my curry, thyme and seasoning cubes.

Then I allow it to fry for about two more minutes before adding my dried prawn and salt to taste( please note I usually soak my dried prawn in hot salty water while I'm still parboiling my macaroni. This makes the prawn tender a bit before adding it to the stir fry)

After adding the prawn, the macaroni will follow suit. Now u just have to stir and continue stirring till everything gets mixed up. Now Ur stir fry is ready to serve

Stir fry Macaroni for brunch.

OK.. Where should I start from? OK, lemme start with Dortmund.
If you're following the trend of Dortmund, you'll know why Bayern had it easy was not that they only strengthened, but their rival was really weakened. Sale of gotze, sahin, gundogan, lewy, kagawa, will leave even the strongest of teams weak. You can't do that to the present Liverpool now, cos the only 2 teams that might considerably lure them is barca and Madrid. Aside that, it'll be difficult for teams to poach Liverpool players.

Talking about Suarez departure, why I agree with you on that, you should know that season Suarez mostly carried them, as others were mostly average (except of course coutinho). Sturridge tho had a great season, but is an average player at best. Sterling too was an average player too there(tho he tried that season too). Gerrard was already old and past his prime, and the keeper, defence and midfield was average. So removing Suarez off that team make them go back to square one. I hope you get my drift here.

Now to the injury and losing form part. Why I'm not denying they won't have such issues, but so is other 19 teams. In terms of strengthening also, they've the capacity also to strengthen. In fact, with this lands issue, most team will not spend like the way they intended spending before. Well, we'll watch and see how it pans out

Alright, let's watch and see how it works out

Jodera:
I understand your point, but one thing I do watch out for before making any prediction is process and trend and not a one-off. Chelsea case is a one-off that's why they couldn't replicate it, same as Leicester. Liverpool since appointment of klopp have been on a steady rise before they reached here unlike Chelsea and Leicester. Selling one key player wouldn't hurt them most cos klopp have the backing of the board to always strengthen the area or tweak system (just like how they didn't falter even tho they sold coutinho). Same way man u sold Ronaldo and didn't falter cos most of the core players was still there and fergie have the backing of the board.
And using champions league ouster to feel that they won't be a side to carry league, check man u 2012... They reached final 2011 and exited the group stage in 2012 in one of the weakest group stage to their standard. That still didn't stop them from competing for the league till the last day.

At the bolded, you can't tell me a group of young players together at a top club guarantees nothing? Lol. I don't believe that at all. Man u class of 1992 and barca class of 2009 lay credence to that. As long as they're not disbanded like the Ajax and Dortmund of this world, they'll always go on to be successful cos they'll always have this understanding and synergy of playing together for so many years together.

My point really is not that they'll be walloping teams the way they did this season, but even if they'll crawl to carry the league, I see them doing that cos they've team to do that and they're also young, hungry and motivated.

The problem with Ur assumptions is u keep isolating Loserpool like they will be the only team in good form.

I already pointed it out to u, injury to key Players will make them lose points. Other teams will get better. Man utd is 2 to 3 players from being a title contender. Even loserpool in their current form find it difficult defeating Man utd.

I know u understand what I'm saying, u are just being carried away with the present form of loserpool. We all know form is temporary. Fatigue will set in, some players will depart and some eseential players will get injured.....Even Nations cup will take away key players like Mane, Sallah.

Saying Mane's departure will not set them back is u underestimating his contribution to run to the league leadership. At least We can take a cue from Suarez's departure and we saw how it set them back.

Talking about youth and Dortmund, shebi u saw how brief their spell was....You saw how Bayern spent money and made all the talks of Dortmund being a force to contend with being a farce. By the way, Loserpool will only act as a stepping stone for those young players. If players like Van Djik and Mane sees an opportunity to join Barca and Madrid they will jump ship and that dream of loserpool winning another league in 3 to 4 years will be a tall dream honestly.

airmark:
KrychoWACK scored for your so-called useless Poland, but LewandFLOPski couldn't. Shame on you and your stupid logics.

George Weah didn't win the greatest african cup, let alone the world cup. But them no born Boathand well to ask Weah to shut it while talking football.

You remember the last time VVD stormed Munich?

This Ur comeback strong o

Jodera:
lol... I always laugh wen people call Leicester. We all know Leicester is one-off. Just a year before crowned champions, they were dragging relegation. Before that, they were just coming from relegation. That they carried the league that year is a big miracle, even all the players will attest to the fact they never dreamt of top 4 not to talk of carrying the league.
Also, I'm not saying they will stroll to the league like they did this season... No.
They won't have it easy as they did this season, but they will [b]surely[/b]win the league.
Why most of their core players are young and are at their peak, just like the barca team of 2009 then.

The problem I have with Ur post from the onset is the word in bold. How can u claim to be sure they will win the league when the have other resurging top teams to contend with?

I gave the champions league example to point it out to you that nothing is sure. Losperool's form in the EPL and UCL in their run to winning UCL last year was mad. An overly optimistic fan would've bet he's so sure they will at least get to this year's UCL semi finals at least.....We all saw how they ended up.

And talking about young players, it guarantees nothing. Winning the league has to do with u being on the form of Ur live and Ur closest rivals being at their lowest. Fact still remains loserpool has enjoyed good fortune this year with less injuries to their key players unlike their rivals. What u see with loserpool this year is just similar to that season Conte won the EPL with the same starting 11 that played week in week out with Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso being key players. Those things do not happen everyday. Look at Chelsea since that period, have they gotten to that form afterwards?

Jodera:
Hmmm... You think if Mane is going to Madrid, they won't have a ready replacement or tweak their system not to balance the loss of mane? Of all their players sef, I think it's only mane that'll be likely to move in any club is interested, and since Liverpool isn't a small club, they can easily replace him(probably not with same quality but similar, or changing of system).
Also, the Newcastle of the rich owners, while there's high possibility that'll carry league if things go well, but it'll take at least 3 yrs. Even arsenal sef, with our financial situation might take us longer time before we'll think of league.
Now I'm not saying Liverpool might be this strong again just as they did this present season (losing a match throughout, a scoring plenty goals on average), no. What I'm saying is, they'll be strong enough to win a league title in the next 3-4yrs since most of their players are young, and there's always a possibility of even adding new signings too.
Lol, talking about champions league? That's a knockout competition, anybody can be knocked out, and it's not as if athletico are pushovers too.
Well, we'll watch as it pans out tho, but I believe with this crop of core players and coach, Liverpool will see at least a league, within the next 3-5yrs

Forget the long story, all I'm saying is more teams will get better.

Chelsea will get stronger than they presently are now......Man utd will become tick....Arsenal likewise. City will splash money again and the mid table teams will go to dem French league and pack talents as well.

Some of these top teams will also lay claim to the title along the way. Loserpool is strolling to the league because all these teams are weak now, it will not always be so.

At least we saw it with Leicester.

Jodera:
OK... Let's exclude 2009 where barca was utterly dominant with messi at the helm. I believe it's from there people will feel barca will carry champions league. Check post 2009 till now, they've carried 2 champions league right? And that's my point. It's not as if these Liverpool players are old or aren't in their peak, they're young, and thinking this young hungry guys won't carry another league again is really underrating them (not saying they'll carry next season, if this season is voided). They might not carry next season, but within the next 5yrs, with this crop of players, I see them carrying a league title. The motivation is still there tbh

Oga just let Mane Mane to real Madrid and maybe their keeper moves to Bayern or any other big spender and u will have them struggling like barca ever since the MSN was disbanded.

This loserpool that couldn't even make it past Round of 16...... .

Forget! If loserpool lose the league, they will most likely not attain this top level again. They won't whip everybody and stroll to the league like they are doing this year. Other top teams will buy players and pose more competition. There's Newcastle trying to rebuild and cause upset.....there's a resurgent arsenal under Arteta hoping to build on the little on ground.

It won't be business as usual for loserpool firing 3 goals past anybody any more. They were lucky with injury this season, it won't always be so. Injury to key Players like Mane, Van Djik, Allison, Wijnaldum will have its toll on them.

Jodera:
Lol... If they didn't back down last season and this season, what made you think they'll wait another 20yrs to carry league?

Na so people think Barca will be winning Champions league every year till Messi retires. Look at Barca now.

With time loserpool will become a normal team that loses just like man city is doing this year

Please can u guys always ignore troll posts? I personally don't respond to trolls, if I make a mistake of responding once without knowing the trolls' intention immediately I know his intention; the conversation ends right there. I don't indulge them.

I've seen countless of them on this thread mentioning me, most times I just look at the mention and move on. Giving them attention bequeath on them the right arms and ammunition to get under Ur skin and make u unnecessarily worked up.

Resist the urge to respond to them. If someone sees a food u spent quality time in the kitchen preparing and makes such derogatory comments like : "Yuck"...." looks like shiiit"...."Why is Ur food scattered in the plate like dog food"....."Seeing the poison u prepared wants to make me puke".....etc....Just know u are the one that enjoyed the delicious and nourishing food u prepared while the troll after dropping his senile comment will go back to his miserable life after logging off and face the harsh economic realities he was trying to mask with his mean post online.
