So I was at shoprite yesterday with the intention of getting the Singapore noodles ( which I later learnt is also called Vermicelli rice) as suggested here two days ago. Unfortunately I couldn't find it. So I just do other shopping, got the normal.slim Honeywell spaghetti in the process and vamoose.

Because I'm on leave and I've sworn an oath of enjoyment this period , I decided to try something new

So here is my breakfast after 45 minutes in the kitchen this morning: Spaghetti with diced spicy goat meat. The ingredients include ; Spaghetti, green pepper,yellow pepper,diced goat meat,sweet corn,tomato paste, rodo, vegetable oil, salt and seasoning to taste.

Trust me, it's tastier than it looks.

Where I come from they call that loserpool pattern "Cross and Insha Allah" . But today the gods of Madrid say NO

Is there any successful person who didn't get some favour at some point in their life?
Being brilliant shouldn't stop you from using your influence
At a level when brilliance evens out, its the people you know who can influence things for you that will make the difference

While I agree with u on this, it's just disturbing that one of the major debtors of a bank was given the chance to buy over the bank when he didn't even pay down on his facility before the bank became defunct.

For someone who was once touted to be the next CBN governor because of his impeccable record, I tell u it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

Monkeyprick:
You want to hear my point of view?
Did you hear anything about the Emirates accounts siphoning? They buried the case because they don't want to shame him. He, Sanusi hands were not clean.
And instead of raining insults and lashing out at Northern Governors, what has he done ?
While he was the CBN Governor, what initiative ,foundation, scholarship and empowerment scheme did he give out to help the teeming population?
How many indigent student did he sponsor through school?
How many unemployed Kano youths did he empower to learn sustainable skills?
How many projects did he single-handedly finance in his community?
All he does is talk, act like a saint.
I expected him to rally round International organizations, multinationals for support .
All the luxury cars he got during his coronation, why didn't he mention it to his wealthy cronies to turn them into schools, health care centers etc instead of those frivolity.
All the millions of Naira in his custody as the Emirates Head, what did he do with it?
People who are less richer and unknown have impacted their communities because that is their way of giving back to their society .

No offence bros, but most of the things u mentioned in the first few lines of your post is just you expecting him to involve in nepotism and favoritism. You asking " how many Kano youth he has empowered while he was holding public office " is just like glorifying everything we criticize Buhari for. We criticize Buhari for appointing majority northerners in key vacant posts in his government, but u still wished Sanusi had helped Kano youths to get juicy posts and positions.

Ibime:
Yeah, he was a well known Gaynerr on this section. I've forgotten his handle but contained his surname. I think he stopped posting around 2009 banking tsunami

Wow, I was already on nairaland tho I don’t frequent the sports section back then.

But for real I just find it disturbing that people like Aig that has always been seen as one of the brilliant minds in this country and even at one time a candidate for the CBN governor job is no different from politicians and crooked bank executives and who have used the influence of their friends to get to the pinnacle of their career.


I actually rever the man so much. He was already done with his first degree by 20, was already owing majority shares in on of the top banks in Naija less than 50years old and owns several interest in top financial market players...

Ibime:
His son used to be on Nairaland with us here

Really? Aig's son?

Godx:
It's not possible. Not unless someone at Arsenal tests positive within the next 24 hours. They met with the Olympiakos owner 13 days ago and this fixture between Arsenal and City just happens to coincide with it. It's just as a precaution.

Arsenal said earlier that no one at the club has shown symptoms in the last 13 days. So it's nothing

Let's hope for the best then

I've always wondered how Aig-Imoukuede at 53 came about co-owning access bank, coronation capital, wapic insurance and some other business interests in the financial sector .......I used to think it was all brilliance and sheer hardwork, well it's pretty obvious as a Nigerian he had friends in the right places and he was made.

Imagine being one of intercontinental's highest debtors and still being offered the chance to buy over the bank for a paltry 50billion.

Naija I hail.

Arsenal players came in contact with Olympiakos owner(now confirmed to have Corona) after the game vs Olympiakos so their game vs City today has been postponed. I'm not sure there'll be EPL games till further notice because Arsenal have come in contact with
West Ham and Everton after that their game with Olympiakos...

Ọmọ mehn.....This Corona virus is out to ruin everybody's fun.

Imagine if any of the arsenal players was already a carrier against Everton, the way all arsenal players were fraternizing with iwobi is enough to have infected half of that Everton team sef.

I think it's best they just pause the EPL matches like they did in Italy

Look at inexperienced Tanganga o. That was a penalty the ref waved away.

I’m sure Mourinho would’ve cried blue murder if spurs were denied that

Elnino4ladies:
This Ryan Sessengnon no sabi ball

He’s just a 19 year old in his debut champions league campaign.

The match over am

pocohantas:
There is chicken and turkey. I fried it mildly.

I know na. I cooked stew for my friend recently. Told him to buy tomatoes, tatashe and rodo in ratio 3:1:1. He turned it upside down, rodo took the highest slot. How did I forget he is Yoruba?

Yoruba and pepper is a match made in heaven.

I do ask waiters when I’m at a new restaurant whether their special fried rice or coconut rice has at least little pepper in it. I guess ur friend is like me and was wondering what u will do with the 3 portion of tomatoes and 1 portion of rodo

nihilistjnr:
How did this Lloris win world cup?

I honestly do not know. It can’t be explained.

He just dey epp opponent score upandan

pocohantas:
Cooked for storage.

Pic 1: work in progress
Pic 2: Stew done set.
Pic 3: Chewing on Maltesers. I am trying to cut down on chocolate intake sha. Totally forgot I had this one.

Is that chicken or turkey? I like both when cooked in stew without frying

Seems u Favour tomatoes over pepper; I can see the stew quite rich in tomatoes. Awa team pepper

Damn!

Atalanta playing in front of an empty stadium. This corona virus is serious that we think �

Now una dey talk about passion ...... when I was talking about Alexis’ impact at Arsenal and even being one of the major reasons we won those FA cups that came in Wenger’s latter years, una say Ozil get influence pass him.

Alexis that was clearly the indefatigable player who always ginger everybody with his hustle spirit. Just like someone pointed up there, the only person in the present team with a semblance of that hustle spirit is the youngster; Martinelli. Smh

Una see Lucas Perez wey no know where post dey for Arsenal, see him in the top 3 goal scorers in La Ligor

Breakfast: Spaghetti and turkey

I didn't cook, strictly eat-out

Mariangeles:

Yes ó....we all walk past the corridor arms akimbo now. Nobody wants to die

Sterope:
Asians should have their own stores in Lagos.

With this Corona virus thingy, I dread anything Asian for now ó.

Even our office that shares same building with some Chinese who have their office there, we are being wary of touching the staircase railings after a Chinese must have handled it

pocohantas:
Any strange thing you are looking for in Lagos, would most likely be gotten at the malls. Have you checked there?

I've checked some of these stores; justrite, addide, spar and the likes, but I've actually not checked Shoprite.

I will give shoprite a try and give feedback. I guess it should be in their pasta section

Fkhalifa:
They said you're Ty of this thread, Infact you must have read lots of Wenger's quotes.. your optimism no get levels ...
I salute your energy.

U no see how he was advocating for the team.to scout players that will play to Xhaka rhythm ni.

Like say na Xhaka be Arsenal Legend wey win champions league for us when he was a youngster and now he's finding it hard we must support him

He get optimum optimism abeg!

Please does anyone know where I can get singapore noodles here in Lagos; the uncooked one. By Singapore noodles I mean those very thing light noodles that seem transparent.

I've been seeing the stir fry posted by some food vendors on IG and I mean to run my own stir fry with it. Has anyone gotten it in any of the malls here in Lagos?

The goat that went on to eat all the available yam in World football

Well, based on popular that rice should've been my first choice for that Saturday stew; here is honorable rice doing the honors

@Eyinjuege u are specially invited to partake in the munching

iamoyindamola:
Abeg no start xhaka argument
This guy was in a shooting position and he lost the ball, the only time he moved the ball forward baba became clueless on what to do next

Xhaka na àgbákò midfielder

The less said about him, the better

Akposy:
I like those onions and the stew colour. How do you guys enjoy snail

I don't even know how to explain it, but anytime I want to eat and there's the option of fish, beef, chicken, turkey or snail, I will always go for snail over and over again.

That's how much I enjoy it.
