MelesZenawi:
by half-shimi....u mean what?

or you mean wrapper tied around the waist because black up and white down is a bad combination unless suit..

MelesZenawi:
and he is still making same mistake?

are you okay?


I have always argued here all time that half education is highly dangerous to the society....and killing the country called Nigeria deeply

what do u mean by Niger delta men?

if you want to compare igbos as ethnic group then use another ethnic group to do so...that's how sound logic looks like..

Niger delta is a political creation of 9 states comprising of both igbos, ijaws, efiks, Ibibios etc many ethnicities saddled with the responsiblity of overseeing the affairs of these states.


pls adopt sound logic and your question will be answered soundly.

MelesZenawi:
Niger delta and Igbo are two different things...u go school so?


Igbo is an ethnic group...


Niger delta is a political creation having Igbo states also in it..



What's your educational qualification?

vanvick247:
I am really surprise that people are shocked by what Kiddwaya said about knowing he would get in with his connect... Nothing for naija be based on merit again na... Even to see party jollof rice chop for occasion u need serious connect now, if not na OYO tinzzz.

Igbochief001:
Lol Oga who made jollof king of Nigerian food ...that's yoruba media and their hype ..all this Lagos people

U would sea afang , better rivers native soup , rivers boule , ukwa , owerri soup , Igbo native equsi and go for jollof rice ? Bros abegi

Jollof is just cheap bro ..I. Igbo land jollof is for kids and people no body know ..real mean it better things

Probz:
Jollof rice is the queen of Nigerian food so there’s no pride in saying it’s reserved for kids at Igbo parties.

scholes0:
loooool....

Ika, and even Izzi, Ezza, Afikpo, Ekpeye e.tc that are not even mutually intelligible to igbo are Igbo dialects according to this guy.... while Itsekiri is a Language (which I agree to btw)

bigfrancis21:
First, Itshekiri is not a yoruba dialect. It is a full language on its own. Second, there is not but one bit of Itshekiri trace in Rivers state. Or, is this your sleek way of trying to claim oil-rich Rivers State?

ccffwx:
Spinach is called nchanwu in Igbo.

SalamRushdie:
Not true, the average Igbo suffers from aspergers which I have found out is a key ingredient for success in life ..

Eulalia:
Huh? Say what?

For the Majority here who claimed they ate the jollof at Yoruba parties and therefore based their judgement on that are wrong cos most party food are prepared by "Olopos" and these Olopos are from Togo and Egun. They do the most cooking of the rice. while yorubas among them only make Amala, moimoi and other menus for the event. I'm talking matter of factly because I'm into catering as well.
If you doubt, visit a Yoruba at home and eat thier homemade jollof you'll know this post is not true.

I'm Igbo and I cook any kind of jollof from party" jollof to other types and I mean for events and not with gas o; fire wood with those huge pots. That is what gives you the sweetness of "party" jollof and not all these gas cooked version that tastes dry and bland.
Though Ive stopped for sometime now cos it a stressful job but that does not mean I can't cook it any longer. Even with my eyes closed, I can.

So its something one can learn.

Csami:
With pepper and oil abi

You and your half shimi questions.

It happens with some frequency. All it does is serve a practical function for people who wear wrappers (male or female). Anyone who sees it as exclusive for women is mistaken.

OruExpress:
I don't know, and don't want to know lol. But there's not 'tradition' that tells you what to wear under your wrapper, and there's no igbo word for 'boxers' so 'boxers' can't be a part of an igbo 'tradition'.

Anything anyone wants to wear in Igbo culture is their business. There are no rules on casual dressing in our culture.

OruExpress:
You can wear what you like under a wrapper. Anyone that has a tradition involving 'boxers', is confused.

nlPoster:
Describing the priestly garments or coverings.

Also, are you male or female?

Probz:
And the answer you keep being given is the affirmative.

You want to rock a wrapper without the coarse fabric riding up on your skin then by all means wear a half-slip/half-shimi underneath but it must be black and plain with no slits or lace.

First let's take a look at the normal Yoruba Jollof Rice to an Igbo's own
Igbo people will use oporoko and different stockings to cook their own you won't know the difference in it and Banga soup
But Yoruba's normal concoction Jollof Rice is a combination of normal ordinary ingredients but still with a differentiating taste factor that this is "Jollof rice" and not Ewedu Alasepo's recipe or gbegiri's style
Don't know if you understand
And now back to the Party Jollof Rice
Yoruba's like it "red" "hot" "salivating" both literarily and literally
So just the pepper pepper and tomatoes as been practiced over the years to bring out a distinguishing taste just to the "Yoruba's"
That's why our ata dindin is different from that of Igbo's own
So the difference in the flavour originated in the quantity of the "elo" bought (pepper,tomato bla bla) our love for "hot" actually brought up all the differences

Moboj:
Yoruba's Jollof Rice is actually the best in Nigeria and the best in the world
They have numerous flavours to it
There's this one that's now like Ibile Party Jollof Rice,that calls you back to a past decade of reminiscence and your mouth water and you want to give a tear to the fact that God is Great!
Ounje lodun to yi
Then there's this other one that's like it's half done with a sort of light red to it
Coming from another type of Kokorin pot that they allowed to burn at the bottom,sending the smoke to the top to give it an explicit kind of smell
Then there's this other one that's cooked finish
If you use normal Iron pot to cook with this dryness to it,leaving each grain of rice as individual beings with a sense of "you're all going into my tummy"
Abeg lemme stop here,there's still more
Yoruba Jollof over any other anytime anyday

Sunbally2:
