[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=283678.msg4025560#msg4025560 date=1244950849]Nigeria is too conservative. I personally have never seen one and didn't know they existed till today.[/quote]They exist o! Yes in Nigeria. Take a road trip to the east. Once you cross the bridge into Onitsha,pass the town and move on toward Okija/Ihiala you'll see them. Women riding okadas. My eyes almost popped out the first time I saw it . I've seen them in Imo state and Aba but never carrying passengers commercially. I think it's more common among the villagers as a mode of transport compared to bicycles. But the one i saw in aba was not a villager rather a woman on her way home from church Wonders shall never end. So since women are doing it in the east already it just might develop into business.

@ brein, it's none of your business what i do while my husband goes to the market. You don't want to go to the market and you want to learn how to cook. How possible? Then marry a woman who shares your ideas about the market and forget about cooking. I was merely trying to point out that men do go to the market and they don't die before getting home.

Jollof rice:
You'll need tomatoes, tatashe(big red pepper), pepper, onions, crayfish, rice, groundnut oil(or any other you like), rice, salt and other seasoning e.g knorr cubes, curry, thyme, ginger, garlic etc(i use all).

NB: You'll have to determine the quantities of the raw materials yourself. Work with what you think is best for you.

1. Blend the tomatoes, tatashe, pepper, onions, crayfish, garlic and ginger to a smooth paste.
2. Boil this paste until all the water dries out. Don't let it burn o!
3. In a frying pan, heat up some ground nut oil and add chopped onions to fry for abt 1 minute.
4. Add the hot oil with fried onions to the pot containing boiled tomato paste.
5. Fry the paste, add curry, thyme, salt and knorr cube(s) to taste.
6. Wash rice with water and set it down and stir frying tomato paste frequently to prevent burning
7. Frying should not exceed 5 mins, add some water into the fried mixture(enough to boil your rice) and add washed rice.
8. Check rice periodically and add water as needed until rice gets done.

You can garnish your jollof rice with green pepper, chopped carrots, shrimps, onions etc. Just add them at the end,when the rice is done and let the hot steam cook them a bit. They taste better crunchy. For shrimps,you'll have to add them a little earlier.

Lemme know how it goes.

Cant believe I'm saying this but in these pictures Beyonce has a more natural, confident look.

Her expression matches the outfit and she looks like she's having fun, unlike Rihanna.

Body language: Rihanna looks somehow stiff. Dont know if its the camera giving that impression.

I disagree. Rihanna does not look stiff. Yes Beyonce looks confident cos she is but having fun? Strikes me more like playing to the camera. _{I am tired of that smile.} Rihanna looks natural. She's herself. She doesn't have to smile to look good on camera whereas Beyonce has to smile and pose just right to look good. _{My opinion anyways.}

I love Rihanna's style. She looks good in almost anything and it just flows with her body.

Beyonce looks nice but she does look like she's trying to hard.

Hi all,
My company Uniquely Jada is into supply and retail sales of good quality European and American bedsheets, duvets and throw pillows. We also supply cloth (shirt, suit etc) materials of all fabrics (cotton, taffeta, chiffon, silk, satin, organza etc) in any quantity.

Are you an interior decorator, a designer or an individual who just wants good quality materials? Prices are very affordable and will be delivered at your doorstep anywhere in Nigeria.

I no longer do this.

@ ifyalways, ha!!!

I think to get mama put stew, don't blend the tomatoes and pepper to a smooth paste it should be rough. This is best achieved using a manual vegetable grater. Fry the stew, preferably with smoked fish and spices that u like(you can use something else,i'm a sucker for smoked fish.) Also use iru (locust beans) while frying the stew and let the stew be thick not watery. The iru gives it that wonderful mama put aroma. Try it and see.

How have they improved? They only stepped up in what they wear. Even Indian film better pass.

TOYOSI20:
I love cookies esp. the chewy chocolaty ones. . . .OMDAYYYS!!!

Toyosi why na? Stop tempting me with those pics. _{I need to lose weight height}

Brein where do you stay/live? Buying things from the market is not a big deal even for guys. My husband goes to the market a lot and he has no issues with it. So why should u or are u one of those guys who believes the market is for women only?

Unless you say you don't know what to buy or whee to get them

Yes but i prefer to have some makeup on even if it is light make up.

My husband, reading novels and lately the internet.

I love chocolate anything!:
Chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate shortbread
Danish butter cookies
Hobnobs

I don't like salted biscuits or ginger biscuits

I agree with Toyosi20. Brein come up with harder stuff, also there are already a lot of recipes in Food so you can use the search engine. Good luck! How's the eba practice coming along?

This shouldn't even in be food

We men or women?

What about those of us who just want to learn dancing?  

DAANIK:
Before I can answer your question, I'll like to know your present location, what you studied in the university, your age and sex. We can move from here.

What does that have to do with anything?

Today's lesson is in okro soup
Choose what you want to use: fish, meat, chicken etc
IMO, the best way to eat okro is with smoked fish
1. Buy okro, in the market you can have it grated or sliced, your choice.
2. Wash and clean the smoked fish.
3. In a pot pour in a small amount of water, small o!
4. Add grated okro, some dry pepper, salt, knorr cube, washed smoked fish and some sliced onions(if u like)
5. Add a little red oil and allow to boil for 5mins.

Soup is ready. This is the way i like my okro so try it and let's hear. It should go well with your eba.

Where were u supposed to breathe out of before?
Making eba:
1. get some yellow garri(best for making eba IMO)
2. boil some water
3. take a bowl/pot whatever u want to make the eba in
4. pour some of the boiling water in the bowl and sprinkle garri into the hot water until the garri has reached the level of the water
5. depending on how soft u want it you can pour some hot water over the exposed garri
6. cover the bowl for 2 mins
7. turn the eba until all is blended

Since it'll be ur first time it mite turn out funny but more practice will help u get what you want. Try it and report back.

Why don't you tell us what you want to cook and then maybe we can help.

baby4u2:
Never eaten jollof rice and corned beef before. But whatz wrong with that? Seems to be the least worst out of every disgusting thing that has been mentioned thus far. @others, this combinations are they jokes or what, cause i dont believe people can eat, for example, palm oil and corn flakes.

That's because some people are writing impossibles. It happens to be the worst combo for me that i have eaten.

Abbygyal:
lol i wonder ooo

ive actually had soaked garri and akara. . .buh for eba and ketchup wetin!!! some of d stuffs u guyz r mentioning aint realistic. . .pls post wat uve reali eaten and nt ur imaginations . . .

Thank you o!

You mean these women actually allowed their names to be published along with their complaints?
Wonders shall never end. Why are they complaining, they also have their flaws that their husbands are putting up with or are they perfect? Imagine! "I love my husband etc" and they now complained. If i were a man and i saw my wife's name in the paper saying such a thing,i won't even remember the 'nice' things said before the complaints. Nonsense!

chiomy4u:
why do men find it so offensive wen dere partner cheats on them and see it as normal wen they cheat on their partner? @ poster, u first cheated on ur partner, she found out, u didnt report 2 d world dat u cheated on her, now she did back wat u did 2 her, why u here makin noise?? u dont even deserve her love and if i were her, would have left u long time ago, good radiance 2 bad rubish,

Abeg help me tell them. Although cheating is bad , one good turn deserved another don't you think?
