techtechh: Most atheists are bitter people. They will not understand your point of view. I used to be one(atheist). They are as toxic as the religion people they criticise
They are bitter cos of something not because they are atheist. You are more likely to be bitter as a religious person cos of religious consciousness, obligations and restrictions. These psych your subconscious making you unknowingly bitter. The fact that you see me cozing up with my dude makes you a judge and judges of characters are very bitter people.
mmsen: That's what I've been hearing, that they've been bringing nonsense bills.
And why are they bringing bills? Because they refuse to supply working meters.
All na scam.
I say more people should release their dogs on these crooks.
Nigerians are generally bad. Nepa is not doing the right thing by giving that man prepaid meter. But, I have witnessed severally where people with prepaid meters engage in bypass for those things that consume more electricity. Yes, it happens. At the end of the day, people pay peanuts for electricity. Nepa has to train specialists who go from house to house to detect this.
People that do this most of the time are the so called big men in duplexes. And guess what the people who help them do that are mostly nepa staff.
It's rampant in Abuja. Politicians CEO, name them are culprits.
Prepaid metres aren't rocket science. As soon as you pack into your house, nepa should install that for you free. It's their obligation but Nigeria is always in auto reverse
Never been there, heard all the wonderful buildings they have.
Oh Abìrìba. That town is a tale for another day. It's the mum's people that marry off. Opposite of what we do. That's you pay dowry to the mum's family. Then party at the fathers place. After Christmas,a day is set aside for anything marriage. You will see canopies lined along the major road. Like 30 families will be engaging in either wedding or trado. I don't understand their tradition at all. Heard that people don't cook that day cos you will be going from one house to the other feasting. I really need somebody from there to explain their customs.
Like I said, as an Umuahia woman, we use more of Ukpo as a soup thickener and when we are cooking Ukazi soup(not Egusi soup) we add little Egusi then ukpo so that the soup will be light, not thick nor watery.
And I believe individually, people cook based on their preference. My explanation above is how my Grandmother made hers as it is our main native soup mostly cooked during ceremonies.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t use Achi or Ofo as soup thickener, just like my maternal home uses cocoyam as soup thickener.
Any kind of soup thickener will work fine(I think)
I now remember. I ate that soup I posted the video in abìlìba( traditional marriage), yeah That town though. We were busy snapping pictures of edifices. Maitama, asokoro, vgc no see their break light.
budaatum: I have five female cousins with their adopted brother from such a union. Three are cover head Muslims, two are born again Christians and the boy is borderline agnostic, and the love they all have for each another is inspiring.
That's how it should be. You love because that's what you should do not because religion told you. You render help without expectations. You give cos you are moved to give,not that you will make heaven through giving.
No6hing like religious obligation but human. The diff between us and developed countries. I do hope we get it right one day.
pocohantas: Yes, that is how I cook too. It is just like oha na. We also put achara. You know achara right? The sister in the video just decided to touch every angle, for rookies maybe.
Someone has told me of the oat thing. Do I just blend the oat and pour into my soup?
Of course I know achara. I have eaten achara soup in ùbakala.
Yeah, you grind, pour small at a time towards the end. It shouldn't be thick cos it will swell after cooking.
1Sharon: It's the typical condescending nature of the average Nigerian theist. Used to it lol
Hardship and covid has reset so many of their brains and they saw religion for what it is. Mind control. Herd mentality. In one south Korean drama I watched( fantasy),.one of the actors said a deity is as powerful as you make it to be. Once you ignore it, it become non existence and powerless. Deep. Zeus was once a very powerful god. He now live in movies and fantasy books.
ImaIma1: You and your husband are one in the no-religion lifestyle, so you are in agreement. But if the op being a Christian wants Christian values taught to his children, an atheist wife cannot do that.
It's better he finds someone of the same belief with him.
I know a family of Muslim husband and Christian wife. They agreed not to indoctrinate their kids until they are of age to reason. Any one they chose is their choice and the parents will be ok with it. So many of them. Let children be free and make up their mind as adult if they actually want to do religion. My parents gave me that choice.
pocohantas: Which one did lovey.mom teach you? My steps are different, but the ingredients are the same with what you have in that video.
If food sweet, dey neat for eye and e get plenty meat,I go chop am.
I posted it here somewhere. Prepare like òha soup but use achì as thickner, then add your ùkazi. Lots of stockfish. I am not a fan of achì so I used naija kind of oat(Quaker). That's what I use as cocoyam(100% legit and you will never know it isn't cocoyam) Loveymom come and explain yourself
pocohantas: I don’t know, like lovey.mom said, we use ukpo. Also the base for me is always palm fruit extract, I no sabi cook oha/okazi with palmoil.
Yes it is our soup. To think I told someone of this recenty and she was seriously arguing with me. Because I was born and bred in Lag, some people dey think say I no know my papa house for village.
The soup was in my feed and I saw ùmùahia. What do I know The one lovey mom taught me is different from this one. As long as it's naija soup especially igbo, me likey
nick50: ..in Africa every male child is being perceived as 'born to suffer' while thier female counterparts were never allowed to work n hussle ,from taking care of thier parents,siblings and relatives to starting thier own family, after all the suffering most of them die young after laying a huge foundation n training thier kids in school then d wife will now take over thier vast properties n wealth, some of these lazy greedy wives will brainwash thier kids n turn them against thier father.. Honestly it's so disheartening cos with d way things are going in this present world the male folks will go into extinction soon
Where in Africa please. Be specific. Cos where I come from, females work. I and host of other ladies here work. I have few female African colleagues too. So do tell me, where exactly in Africa do this happen?
RisenPhoenix1: No family can have two leaders. That is a feminist narrative. It does not work.
When they both work, little time is left to spend with the children. They have little influence on the kind of values that the children imbibe; from a very young, impressionable age. It's not rocket science.
That was an analogy. But true. Most people want to tailor their lifestyles to fit the expectations either of others or to be like those they see on screens/online. It matters little where they see these things.
What has feminism got to do with my post? No need debating with you. U just killed the passion.
Wish I can cook this Pocohantas and loveymom, see una soup.(assumed the 2 of u are from ùmùahia) I have never cooked with òfò before. Anyone know what it's made of please?
RisenPhoenix1: It was not indoctrination. That was the working approach. Women have a lot to do in taking care of the children. Nothing degraded society to this extent more than the fact that both parents now have to work, while the children are left to the internet to raise. 'Economic reality' has not differed in any way, except that people; especially women; are now less satisfied with what their husbands' incomes can comfortably provide so families are normalising the wives' compulsory financial contribution just to keep up with the Kardashians. Now everyone has to work just to sustain the kind of lifestyle that they see on Instagram and Facebook and want for themselves. As Mahatma Ghandi once said; "there's enough on earth for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed".
Its a vicious cycle of consumerism and poor upbringing.
Both parents work, both train the kids. Each focusing on his or her strong points and the other knowing when to draw the curtain and allow the other to take charge.
Wonder why this should be a topic.
So you know not everybody is on Facebook, tiktok, Facebook etc and not every home allow their kids to do as they want on internet.
Nor do every woman want to be like the K family or every man want to live life like a Nigerian politician or pastors.
