Me that can trek 2km on a daily basis.

I walk a distance of 7km (10,000 steps) on a daily basis and in the evenings because I live a sedentary lifestyle.

If I tell you where I dey trek to and fro for Lagos, you go shock.

When I get back home, na sleep get me.

@Folake, the pleasure is mine.

I had some prior engagements too, that's why I'm responding to this now.

Hmmh, I can now see one of the major reasons why you gravitated towards becoming a lawyer... "Acts of service." I love that aspect of your LLanguage. However, "A fine woman who is self-motivated, intellectual and a good conversationalist would be a better turn on for me to start with."

Tbh, Jamaican jerk chicken, bunny chow from South Africa, asun OR boli and grilled fish, both from Nigeria, etc, are some of the classic street foods that can be tasted by tourists and locals alike. Street foods reflect the SOUL of a people and can be got from designated clean environs.

You can check out the Website link below to get a flavor of global street foods and see if you're inspired to try any of these food niches when next you travel internationally or domestically for leisure OR maybe even use the idea to complement your source of income down the road (in addition to your law profession as a young lawyer).

Alright then, we'll chat later.

Take care.

Ciao.

That is no problem.

Hahahaha yeah, Acts of Service is the koko.

About good conversationalist? That is non-negotiable for me. I can't involve myself with men who can't hold good conversations. All those "How are you?" "I'm fine" "Okay" "Bye" and the convo ends there is NOT FOR ME.

If peradventure I give someone my number and the tone of our convo is already like that, I'd be turned off by Day 1 and ignore the person. I won't proceed further.

Let me know what tickles your fancy, were you a thief in your former life? What are your plans and aspirations? What are your thoughts towards Japa? Do you patronize prostitutes?
Does your family have letterhead paper? Where do you see yourself in 5 years time? (I like ambitious and disciplined men. That too is non-negotiable).

However with all these I mentioned, I am not Sapiosexual. I'm Demisexual. I can have great conversations and all with someone but if I CANNOT connect to you emotionally, then it is a wasted cause.

It's the main reason I have so many male friends that are fine and all of that. People always ask me "You have fine male friends na, hook up with one and be in a relationship". It is really not that simple for me. I need that BOND of close friendship. It is after such bond is created, I MAY now develop sexual attraction to such person. It is not a guarantee though, hence I said MAY.

I'm very picky when it comes to Men too. Na why my heart strong.

I like suya, puff puff, boli and grilled fish/groundnut, asun. These are classic Nigerian street foods. Here in Lagos, I get them in clean environs and so far, haven't regretted it or purged yet. That's why I'm careful where I buy stuffs.

Thank you very much Konquest. I'd check the link. Gracias!
(Hehehe I hope to travel internationally soon oh, preferably for my birthday. From my mouth to God's ears. Living in delulu is the solulu )

Alright, have a lovely day ahead, Ma'am/Sir.

kals4luv990:
man utd fans go think say dem dey arrange clubs alphabetically

Wetin be this?😂😂

Tallesty1:
Never heard of him oo, it is the lady we know.

My thoughts exactly.

Wotowotoman:
Na Wofai you dey call new money? 🤔

I never called her new money. I'm saying the discourse of "Old Money v. New Money" is tiring.

Proserpina:

Beeni oh.

baralatie:
🤔
Yes thank you very much
I want to own a whole dangote

I wish you the best in your endeavours.

baralatie:
All of the above but make I ask my account officer for the balance
I dey come oo

Congrats to you.

Moi Moi is KING.

Proserpina:
Oh . I see.


Make Old money dey marry Old money... Make new money stick with new money..

All these noise is unnecessary

Abi oh.

The things wey concern me for this life nor reach 5 and this one nor join at all.

Old money and new money people. All of them go dey alright.

baralatie:
Haa!
Money is different from money
Money has levels
Money has grade
Money has name
Money has backup
Money has generational foundation
That is why old money and new money are in different schools

Which one you don make?

Proserpina:
Likkkkkkeeeeee I don't want problem... Too much headache.

I don't know much about Dakore's marriage. Infact I know nothing. I barely keep up with all these celebrities and Old money people.

I don't want problem ohhh. For real.

Same here, I dont know anything on Dakore's marriage but this discourse was on Twitter earlier today.

I kuku tire for all these Old v. New money people sef. Money is money!

tishbite42:
Wetin dey letterhead?
I can even design a personal coat of arms
Nonsense

Lol. That was clearly a joke shading the Cole Family.

GloriousGbola:
i am sending you an official letter right now

kindly be advised

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You play too much, G.G.

Tallesty1:
Well they are the reason the whole Nigeria and many parts of the whole are talking about it.

For real oh.

If not for their letterhead paper, who know the family before outside Lagos Island and environs?

Mtchewww.

Proserpina:


I tell you! Marrying into such family isn't easy especially if the person is not of their social circle. They see everyone outside their circle as "social climber " no matter how "comfortable or well to do" the person is. If you don't have a name, you can't come in.

I wish Wofia luck. May God give her enough Panadol for her existing and yet to come headache.

For real oh. Any family that does not accept me, no matter how much I love the person, I don run comot. I nor like stress.
Infact, they should give me $100m and I'd leave their son alone.

I wish her luck as well. That's how folks said Dakore's marriage was. That the family didn't approve and she had to write kini kan undertaking or so.

Proserpina:
Chai... Na true o , shey I will not reconsider like this

Or better still I fit help am create one. That letterhead dey important.

Hahahaha you're not serious.

Old money people and their wahala.😂😂😂

Proserpina:
You no lie oooo my sister . Lemme go ask Tunde self

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tunde nor get family letterhead paper.

idahme:
If you are you won't be behaving like someone on the streets looking for bailout funds.

Now that you are employed, it's time to work on your mindset. You need help else you pass it down your children and grandchildren.

You need the help more.

Proserpina:


This is so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But I nor lie. 😂😂😂

Tallesty1:
You na fast learner oo

Certainly.

clockwisereport:
I swear.

This na sign of old money

For real.

Amigoss:
Lool,wahala....

Yes oh.

idahme:
Go and look for job oo, poverty can make a girl reason upside down and run into d street thinking that's where she will find employment (relationship).

Hustle make your children no ask this same question you dey ask oo

I'm gainfully employed.

Please STFU.

Future date question: Does your family have letterhead paper?

Alapogentle:
hey, good afternoon, there was a time you said you took train ride from Abuja to Edo, I can't seem to find the route on nrs site, I'm planning on taking train to abuka from Edo... Pls I'd appreciate if you can help me with any information or link

Hi there.

The route is Warri-Itakpe.
https://nrc.gov.ng/schedules/

If you go through my thread particularly the first page and two last pages, you'd see that you have to use a vehicle to reach Agbor railway station and enter the train at Agbor headed to Itakpe (Kogi State) railway station, board another vehicle at Itakpe which goes to Abuja.

Ah! Absorbent paper towel and little oil... That's a great way to get minimal oil in the plantain.

You like wheat bread with peanut butter too? I guess great minds "eat alike."

In my travels around some countries, I always like to taste the street foods and cuisines of the different cultures and it's been a fantastic way of appreciating the skills that go into developing these foods.

Lol... That cracked me up. So, "YOUR EYES eat first." Folake, It seems you're a "very visual person" as well. A significant part of your love language must be embedded in visual aesthetics.

You seem to have grown up knowing only the Amala made from unripe plantains in your city or State of residence based on your mum's culinary preferences.


Last but not least, I suppose you're referring to wheat swallow made from whole wheat flour in your last paragraph. Whole wheat is actually made from wheat bran and germ combo.

Amala however isn't made from whole wheat flour. Just as I stated in the last post, Amala comes ONLY in 3 major swallow varieties among Yoruba folks namely:

1. Amala ogede is made from ELUBO OGEDE (unripe plantain flour) which is a shade of brown color.
2. Amala isu is made from ELUBO ISU (yam flour) which is brown in color.
3. Amala lafun is made from ELUBO LAFUN (cassava flour) which is white in color.

Sorry. I slept off early last night.

Yes, the greatest way. If I ever crave fried plantain, I have to eat it hot straight from the fire. Otherwise, it'd be soggy for me and I'd lose interest. I also microwave fried plantain when it's warm or cold.

Yes yes. You have great taste. Wheat bread is the truth.

Oh that's nice. I'm very careful of street foods cos I have sensitive stomach.

Yeah. My eyes eat first. My main love language is Acts of Service/Gifting. That alone is visual. Seeing is believing right?
I also like fine things, fine men etc.

Yes. I know amala made from only unripe plantain. My folks used to buy lots of unripe plantain, sun dry and do the plantain flour thingy.

You're right. Wheat swallow. I ate a bit of wheat swallow in my childhood. I haven't eaten it since then.

Thank you for explaining that. Appreciate it.

[quote author=Tallesty1 post=129756067][/quote]Hahahaha. Normal is boring.

Konquest:
Oh, wow! @Folake4u, those are interesting takes from you.

Yeah, wheat bread is very healthy but some folks don't like it. I love taking mine with avocados and peanut butter. It's one of the best ways to "bring out" the flavor of wheat bread.

Isn't the unripe plantain going to soak in oil while you're frying it? How do you manage to keep the vegetable oil out of the plantains?
I'm a sucker for fried plantains too, with especially the smell of fried plantains wafting through the kitchen.

The key is to eat in moderation though.

Last but not least, what is it about Amala and other foods in your list that you don't like... is it the relative carbs content or the bland taste for some of them?

Did you know that there are 3 types of Amala?:
1. Amala ogede made from unripe plantain flour.
2. Amala isu made from yam flour.
3. Amala lafun, made from cassava flour.

Thank you.

I wonder why people don't like wheat bread really. It's super healthy and filling.
Omgggggg you know this. Give me wheat bread and peanut butter and I'm in heaven. Yummy goodness!!!

I use little oil when frying anything I eat, even frying unripe plantain. I use absorbent paper towel to drain excessive oil.

I'm not a fan of ripe plantain actually. Just once in a while I eat it. I prefer unripe plantain for chips cos it's crispy.

Yeah. Moderation is key.

Bland taste and also my eyes eat first and just genera dislike. I'm a picky eater and not keen in trying new cuisine.


Ohhh. Never knew amala is made from yam flour and cassava flour. Only know of unripe plantain actually.

Quick question. Amala is different from wheat right?

He is married with 2 small children yet he goes to ashewo joint to drink and chase women.

And e still dey owe 5k?

Subhanallah!
