After work yesterday , as I walked towards my car to to start heading home .
Alas ! It was exasperating and annoying to find my broken side mirror on my bonnet , After it was completely knocked off its hook .
As I was still finding the best way to express my anger , behold I found a letter on my windscreen from the offender .

Woow ! My anger vanished immediately, Do we still have people like this in this country? especially here in Lagos ? Such civil and responsible act is so rare and it worth emulation .

I had no option than to decline any form of offer from him, as he has shown extreme courtesy .

Why not show the us full pic of the car, as you found it? After all, you've decided to show us the man's face.

ThatFairGuy1:
How old are you? If you're old enough, you wouldn't have found this funny, it's a misspelling

Lol. But you're funny. Older people can't find peculiar things funny?

Was it voice to text that caused that?

Saint99:
It has been known that Bats transmit dangerous diseases to human, why not just get rid of Bats world wide and save mankind from these diseases.

Ecosystem imbalance.

Otherwise you are right. Bats must be prehistoric. They have all manner of terrible diseases in their bodies that come from who knows where.

Africans should be educated against bat consumption. Chinese, too.

FactBoyz:
Well, we will continue to eat our bush meats, snakes, bats, cats and other insane animal we can find even as the viruses attack us.. Nice one! We never learn!

Were you going to give them free meat?

If yes, give them free meat so that they will stop eating wild animals.

If not, allow them to go on.

They aren't the first in the world to source their meat themselves. Even westerners hunt and eat.

AmazonTopaz:
Who are the rich men because the feminist we know are still being pursued by rich men.

Who told you feminist are rebellious for asking for their rights you are not normal I am a feminist and Al kinds of men have been after me so say what you know genome doesn't take away a woman's feminine outlook if she wants to and submission is not a gendered word for females only I am not a submissive person and can never be one and I like men who are submissive who nor like better thing too

ThatFairGuy1:
Thought as much, I was about asking. It's over a decade I ate this source. Normally taken with yam. Very sweet

How did you outSource it?

mdntiri:
Are you male or female?

Hermaphroditic on naira land.

Odewaleadesoye:
Yes, I'm the one.
My marks are beautiful.
Thank you so much for the compliments.
More to enjoy boss.

It's you.

More to enjoy!

Odewaleadesoye:
Make I keep quite

Say no more, let me talk.

Mr beautiful tribal marks, how are you doing? Or are you not that guy?

We've been enjoying your BBN threads. I've enjoyed reading your introductions on threads.

mdntiri:
Well I'm glad I could be of some help. We're all here to learn. I don't how the momonis are done. I'm only familiar with the nonfermented koobi. But I'm sure the momoni-making process'd just be an "upgrade" of the koobi- making process. Special fishes are used for these stuff because they make the best koobi, momoni etc. There's a 3rd one called kako which is usually salted shark meat.

Most of the kako are brought in from Senegal, and Ghanaians are some of the biggest consumers of these stuff.

Ghana, Nigeria are in West Africa so we'd have lots of similar stuff BUT I've realized there're more DIFFERENCES between us than similarities, but I won't go into that. We ferment cocoa, locust bean, kenkey, banku, etc, I don't know about meat.

That kako sounds promising. Wish you could tell more about fermented foods and spicing habits.

From what you've said so far, there are a lot of similarities. I understand where you may differ, in your mindsets to things.

It has been good hearing about these foods from you. I look forward to trying them out some day.

Ficient:
She is definitely enjoying the sucking of her face by his mouth and the dirty kiss, in as much as she was also able to enjoy his money

Everything is always about money to you people.

Does that man look like he has money? Look at him closely. He is the type that can only his charm for sexual gains. Otherwise he wouldn't be a pastor.

Skyview01:
I think I am the only Nigerian guy who doesn't think about sex. Sex ke!.lol

If true, may the Lord bless you for having a normal mind.

It's always annoying to read about something, and the very first comment a man will give is a sexualized version of the whole thing. Before you know it, it's a choir of men at it.

Is it that sex is the only thing in their lives that they will inject it into every situation, even when it doesn't make sense?

Adadioranma79:
Na lie, no sensible lady will expose herself like that just to feel beautiful. Cept she is married and her husband is cool with that, then maybe every other person's opinion doesn't count. Even as a lady, I am irritated watching such nuisance. Some things should be beneath one as one advances in age biko.

My dear, you don't know what each person is going through. She may feel that's how to look beautiful and get attention. We may not like it that much, but she has her reasons.

Plus, if we want to be sanctimonious about it, a husband isn't enough to make a woman come out like that. Even if the husband loves it so much it would still be an eyesore. Husband liking it can't be an excuse to change the standard.

streetsoldier1:
lol.... okay, ojoro cancel, they are birds of feather, the husband ranting should be doing thanks giving somewhere that wahala left his life

The wife is looking much much better than the pastor. See how the disgusting fellow is trying to suck her face up through his mouth. What a dirty looking kiss. That woman is trying. The husband just be traumatized.

Odewaleadesoye:
What was her motive self?

To feel beautiful.

streetsoldier1:
blind pastor, na ugly wife he even snatch

Did you see his own face? It is the woman who is very blind.

Another dirty adulterous man of god exposed. One by one they will be uncovered and their evils made known. Their own holy Spirit is lust, they cannot control themselves and feel entitled to the bodies of women under their care. Afterwards they will make sanctimonious comments.

Dirty, filthy fakes.

Slimslimqq:
Good evening elders.

A friend of mine needs urgent advice before taking a bold step.

He relocated to south Africa 6 years ago, and since he traveled he has been sending home some amount of money to help his father complete his house.

So last year, unfortunately his father died and has since been buried.

He just arrived from south Africa since then. Now he wants to renovate his fathers house to 3 bedroom flat because he's planning to marry next year, He's not returning to south Africa.

But, his mom declined and said she won't allow him take over the house from her, though he promised to rent an apartment for her but declined.

Now this has caused a lot of problem between the mother and son, because the son claims he built d house to that stage but the mother is claiming she is his mother and the wife to the late owner(father).

He's planning on taking drastic steps which I have advised him against, but he seems not to understand everything I'm saying.

I told him about nairaland, that there are experienced people who will give him d best advise and he's given me a go ahead.

I will be sending these page link to him, so he can hear from d public and then know what to decide.

He needs your sincere advise.

Thanks

Please help us help a brother

Your friend sounds more stupid than reasonable. Drastic steps? On his own mother? Sounds like a drug dealer from South Africa talking. Or he swallowed some other pills.

Forget all the traditional people and their "where does he come from" talks. This is a legal matter, not a village matter where any drunk will talk rubbish in his favor after eating some kola nuts and drinking a gift of Jack Daniels from him.

Let him go to a federal court and settle it where the law — not sentiment— holds.

If he was helping his father build, what was his point if it would've been to throw him out once it was time for him to get married?

Some people are so dysfunctional.

Your friend has mummy issues.

Gentlerespect76:
Problem of young people. Chastity you hate; disquiet you get.

Apt.

How else do they get married nowadays? Nothing like chastity.

Hathor5:
Are you married?

Were your parents not each other's family?

I don't know how you run your family but I am my husband's family and he is mine. Chances are very high it will be me taking care of him in old age rather than his mom.

As for your first question, a man should consult his wife and vice versa because they are one, a team, a unit, and surprise .... a family. You can split everything in your marriage, we run a joint account, own properties together, plan for our kids' future together, retirement etc. If I wanted to do all of this alone, I would have remained single.

Please, don't bother joining words with that misogynist. All you'll get back are his crammed lines from the red pill.

Probably a bitter incel. Or a brhoe

The number of bitter, broke, young single men on the forum is becoming a nuisance.

Lollittaa:
[color=turquoise]so so disgusting. The Idi.ot guy is even telling me he's a pervert and he's accepted it. One day, he will be paraded on NL front page. [/color]

Give it time.

Most of them feel that because they can argue it with pseudo-logic that they have a point and must be right. There are a lot of deranged men roaming Nigeria.

Because this is a faceless forum, some of them can spill out the ugliest reaches of their minds.

It's too bad Seun doesn't censor posts of insane and sick men on the forum.

If only the police do their jobs, so many of them would've been reported.

mdntiri:
Yes we eat from them too. They come in various sizes. But only certain dishes are best served in them. Like one pot dish Ghana fufu, where the soup is poured on the fufu in the earthenware bowl. Kokonte, what you call amala can also be served in this bowl because the soup is poured on the food. Where raw pepper, tomatoes and onions are ground in the bowl to eat a meal, it can be eaten directly from the bowl.

This food the OP served, ampesie (a paysay) can also be eaten from this bowl. The clay pots that our forefathers stored water in, give a very distinctive "flavour" to water, and also cools it. The Asanka too does same, especially if food is kept in them longer. Foods served in our "chop bars"/local restaurants where these bowls are commonly used have a distinctive flavour.

The Akans (largest ethnic group in Ghana) call it Asanka or Aportoryuwa. Aportoryuwa means grinding bowl. Other ethnic groups have names for them. They're commonly manufactured in the clay rich areas in southern Ghana. Our Northerners who have the Hausa, Fulani, Muslims and a drier climate grind stuff with mortar and pestle. I don't really know if the Asanka is ubiquitous there like it's in Southern Ghana.

The salted fermented fish called momoni is STRONGER than koobi. I think it's like your stock fish. Only a little of it is put in food for flavour/seasoning, the koobi, which the op used here, even though salty, is not fermented, and can be boiled and eaten like a regular cooked fish. Where it's used, only a little extra salt is added to the meal so it doesn't become salty.

Why this your interest in Ghanaian stuff?

Ghana has fufu and amala? Why then are you(Ghanaians) and Nigerians claiming superiority over each other when you're the same down to your staples? You people even sound like Akwa Ibom and Cross River State people. You even pour soup on your foods, just like the Yoruba people. You have northerners similar to those in Nigeria. Ghana= Nigeria.

I am interested to hear that you find foods prepared and stored the local way more flavorful. I have heard that water one from an old Nigerian woman. She described that water from clay pots as "so much better than today's water, you can drink and drink the whole pot". I have experienced that taste factor on some foods. Fermentation had a role to play in those foods, though.

Interesting to know you have a type of fermented fish. The closest Nigerians come to fermenting meats must be stock fish. Do your people ferment other meats? How is momoni fermented? In the ground, leaves or askana? Is it fermented with any flavor givers?

Why can't I be interested in Ghanaian stuff, especially when there's a real Ghanaian right here to dispel rumors and explain things better?

mdntiri:
I've not heard any stories on the origins of the earthenware bowls, locally called Asanka or Aportoryuwa. Maybe if we dig deeper we'd find something. It's our local blender and also a food serving bowl. Ridges are made in them to make grinding of stuff easier.

They're like your mortar and pestle. Every Ghanaian home has them. We like our raw pepper sauce, to eat our kenkey, banku etc, and this is what we use to grind them. There're also flat grinding stones serving this same purpose.

The fish is called koobi. It's previosly salted fish that's been boiled. Usually tilapia make very good koobi. Fresh tilapia is gutted, soaked in very concentrated saline solution and dried, reason for the fish's "pale" look.it goes well with the meal. A little salted fermented fish is also used to flavour the food/oil, like the stock cubes would do. I've seen Nigerians too use salted fermented fish for food flavouring, but I don't know if you have koobi.

The oil is red palm oil, clear oil too can be used

@bolded: It's "nairaland", not "Nigerians only forum".

I don't have a mortar and pestle.

Interesting to know more about the earthenware. You mentioned you eat out of them, too. Like you guys can decide to eat out of them, like plates? Are they that portable? Do you believe it tastes better from the earthenware? Is there a difference between asanka and aportoryuwa? Do they originate from a particular tribe?

This salting and fermenting sounds like something Chinese would do. I think the closest thing to that in Nigeria is stock fish, a war time ration that stuck (pun intended). Guess koobi will be strong pretty much like stock fish.

Lollittaa:
[color=maroon]no, no I'm thoroughly disgusted. Did you actually write this or fart this out? You are a pervert. And one day, your turn will come.
BRATISLAVA see this[/color]

I didn't even read it beyond the first few lines.

That is the mindset of a large number of men. They walk in human skin, yet are anything but. That is why whenever a case comes up you'll see them struggling to defend it. That guy image must be one of them, hiding behind Christianity, pseudo-logic and whatever else they can delude themselves with. These are some of the perpetrators of such sex crimes.

It's only a matter of time before they act on their dirty preferences and end up publicly known.

But with such men, nothing is a deterrent. It's all about them. What they can get away with, within the confines of their warped reason. Once they can get away with it, it must be right and something they will fight tooth and nail for.

A very disgusting post.

mdntiri:
That's a GHANAIAN meal. It would look out of place to Nigerians, but it's a very good meal. The other foods the op has posted are all Ghanaian foods. Some may not look presentable, but they're delicious, and we're not ashamed of them. You need to taste them first to know how they're. You Nigerians eating black amala, eye-blinding gari, fibreless noodles, smelly fufu (akpu) etc have mouths to be disrespecting somebody's food

Quite alright Nigerians eat those things, even I haven't eaten some of them, but have a look at the food thread here on nairaland to see what they look like, and you will see why it's hard to believe anyone actually made that food for their husband, let alone themselves to eat.

In your next post you agree it doesn't look good. Even if it tastes good(from your description of the leaves), nobody will think so when it looks like that.

When it comes to food, appearance matters.

mdntiri:
Yes it's cocoyam leaves. Yes I agree it doesn't look appealing. To my/our Ghanaian eye our foods are/look/taste ok, but to a "neutral" they'd look shitty. I'm getting it now, and I see why people are comparing some of the meals to sacrifice etc, especially with the use of these earthenware bowls. To our Ghanaian eyes, the meals/ it's presentation look ok. We grind our peppers tomatoes etc in the earthenware bowls, we also eat in them, every Ghanaian home has them. We're not shy of them.

But the op should tweak her food presentation skills a bit, seeing as she's speaking to an international audience

Yeah, all the same it's interesting to see a new meal.

I'm interested in these earthenware bowls. How did your people come about them? Any lore on it? They must be like the mortar and pestle Nigerians love.

Why does the fish in the dish look like that? What kind of oil is it?

starlingbawa:
Wetin be this one?

Ghanaian food apparently.

mdntiri:
BRATISLAVA Go to YouTube. Check out Mark Wiens videos on Ghana, specifically the Kumasi episode where he was OPPORTUNED to be served this meal in a Kumasi home, and come back with a reply. That green cocoyam leaf is extremely delicious. Ghanaians don't joke with it. It's very flavourful, like how shrimps are. Get a correct Ghanaian to serve you this meal

So it's coco yam leaves. I guess it could taste good. I would be interested in eating it, perhaps with an oil reduction and the fish being grilled.

The pics are not inviting, though.

descarado:
The poster might be mischievous but yeah, this is a very popular Ghanaian traditional dish.

You guys are quick to accept English or USA food but not traditional African food.

Incredible!

I can accept the pic you attached, though I wouldn't eat everything on the plate, not that one the OP used. The food combination looks like there could be anything on that plate, even strawberries.



I eat any native foods wherever I find myself, I eat widely, but the one from the OP looks unappetizing. Suspect it's a troll doing their do because—look at it.

Parizz:
Don't cook this for me or else I will send you packing to your father's house

I don't think anyone really cooked that to eat it. It must be someone trolling Ghanaians. It's not the first time she's posting something that looks like that.

PetroDolla2020:
Wao! Great stuff! This is what we Ghanaians call boodie ampesi ne kontomire. The real deal. Very sweet and healthy food

Does it actually taste good?

Why is the fish white and not gutted?

Is it normally served in plastic basins? Does it affect the taste? Why eggs? Is that actually palm oil?

This is quite a strange meal. The origins will be interesting.
