I am sure it was nothing expensive, about 3k for a plate then. Never seen a walk-in restaurant with such extensive menu. Even kulikuki and tanfirin was there.

Ah definitely, would love it then.

Thank you. You're the best!

pocohantas:
Osun state…

Ah e far oh.

pocohantas:
Hopefully I do. The Biobak came highly recommended. They claimed it was where OBJ used to eat in his days. Their plantains chips is the bomb sha. I packed plenty and put it on my organisation’s tab.

Yeah I'd really like that.

Wow nice. Hope their menu nor too cost oh?
I'd definitely check this out with friends.

pocohantas:
Till date? Lol, maybe I can give you a mini lecture in the DM. Not in Abj either.

Lol yes oh , lemme go to DM now.

Awwn okay, what city then?

pocohantas:
Isn’t that a general PH problem? Abi make I go stay for batcher? Hahahaha

One reason I love Lagos is, you can get a bit of everything without necessarily going to the slum (no disrespect meant). But you see that una PH? Hmmm. Abj was just too slow for me. I would love to visit again, if not for anything, for the afang and plantain chips in Biobak Kitchen

Hmm. Please visit soon oh.

I'd definitely visit that Biobak Kitchen, thanks for recommending.

pocohantas:
True. Some grown women do not even know how their body works. Seems like too much calculations for them. That is why I am headlining a program to educate the girl child on their menstrual cycle (hygiene, safe period and safe sex ). You can donate menstrual pads and cash to us.

Now I remember I have calls to make sef. Thank you for this reminder.

Guilty as charged!

By the way, if you're holding it in Abuja, biko I'd love to volunteer oh.

JaneYave:
Abuja needs this rain like seriously

Lmao I swear.

Although it rained in Bwari, and Gwagwalada recently. So I'm sure it'd reach our side soon.

I used the train again back to Abuja during the weekend. I decided to board the Economy class this time and I met lots of crazy characters here.

It seems that the train ride is fast gaining momentum as we saw lots of passengers who were waiting for the train at Uromi railway station.

Na wa.
I don't like what Mercy Aigbe did, but why's no one talking about the horseband
I mean, he's a grown adult for crying out loud and should take responsibility for his actions.

A man that is snatched is not a toddler, he allowed himself to be "snatched". Them nor put gun for him head

And to those saying "She's misled" the youths? What are you people yapping about?
Take whatever these yeyebrities post with a pinch of salt.

pocohantas:
How do you people eat boiled plantain?
Fried one na manage sef. When I see how my brother happily fries plantain ehn, I go just dey wonder.




If the person would work for free, because it is mot that serious for me.

Wow you don't like boiled plantain?
I like unripe boiled plantain especially when it's soft. I really don't like ripe boiled plantain, it's an apology to me.
I'm not such a huge fan of fried plantain too. Frying it wears me out. I only eat it when I want to satisfy a craving.


But seriously, nobody would do free work for social media page handler eh.

pocohantas:
Yes I do, but I have posted just twice there. It is too much work posting on my blog and Youtube.

Then get a social media handler for your pages na.

Magnoliaa:

You wee nur even say you don't want? undecided I thought swallowing our spits to stay full and hydrated until we can get home to eat was one of the core values our parents instilled in us? You children of nawadays have lost all our teachings. Tufia!

Lmao, them nor dey use that Kain scope for us, Gen Z oh. Our mental health and energy is very important to us.

Uniting the Body, and Upholding the Stomachs of the Nigerian Peoples since 1960.

I swear down! It's our unofficial Nigerian snack.

Magnoliaa:


Ehen. Beeni ti e ri.

Pepsi and Gala, ba? Nice one. You're repping well out there. Na awa national "snacks" be those and I'm proud you've taken it today. If person for this awa kantri no dey buy gala and Pepsi when e go out, or e never chop am for him life before, such a person's nationality and place of residence is seriously questionable.

Don't worry, I will do you back.

Omo, Pepsi and Gala nor be food na.
Imagine if Poco give me this fine yam and fish sauce and Pepsi+Gala combo, which one will I pick? Of course the food!

Proud bawo? Mango, abeg!
But true sha, if someone doesn't take that combo in Nigeria, I doubt that person's nationality.

Magnoliaa:
cc: Folake4u

Don't menshun, dear. If I don't look out for you, who will?

This Mango is a very wicked sombori. Ah ah!

Nice one Mama @ pocohantas. I'm salivating from my end. Na Pepsi and gala I don chop since morning.

GloriousGbola:
Wrong question. To handle fat chicks, you better be packing. Otherwise bros will end at the thighgina

izzou:

I need to have the "Pride of Womanhood" in my life[/color]

Lmao I get sure plug.

Lepa girls na standard na, them too correct.
Wait lemme guess? You be slim man?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]These specs are becoming extinct.

Even when you find them, they have become core feminists, which is still another problem [/color]

They're not becoming extinct actually. Them dey everywhere.

pocohantas:
Yes I do. Lots of pineapple is expensive and I love that sharp taste of sugar. I still put pineapples though.

I took her number. She speaks so well and I am tempted to ask the level of her education. I’ll definitely ask someday. Lol

It's true oh. Pineapple really don cost.
It's painful though.

Lol that's nice.
Okay.

Twoclans:
This your girlfriend is not knowledgeable with the use of whatsapp.

The best thing is to post you and its only you and a few of your friends that will see it.

As in ehnnnnnn!!!! .

If it's me, I will set it to "Only him" that can view it.

Hahahaha

Next na to give her money to buy me beans, yam and onions.

It is true. The prices for Northerners is quite different.

It's very cheap and surplus in the North side.
Just keep that woman's contact wella, and tell her to be supplying you especially if you like buying foodstuffs in bulk. And then you can tip her for the stress.

And then the Zobo part. So you add granulated sugar to your Zobo. What we usually add to ours is lots of pineapple, ginger and other fruits. It's so nice taken this way.

pocohantas:
Nonsense and compliment. I won’t reply to such. Even here on NL.

Omo, very irritating thing.

I cringe when some people smile at such compliment.

Tueh!

pocohantas:
Yes it is. When men tell me I drive like a man or think like one, I correct them. I drive like a woman and think like a woman. Do not allude strength and perfection to your gender. Don’t transfer my good attributes to a penis. Everything I do is as a woman that I am. I wouldn’t be any other gender even if I reincarnate a thousand times. I am that connected to my vagina. Thank you

I swear down oh.

I hate it more when they'd now say "You're
smart, you don't think like a girl" .

AmazonTopaz:
You have said it all my dear the average Nigerian man is a horseband and I hail Nigerian women who are with them because me I can't deal
I deliberately looked out for an enlightened or should I say abroad man with their enlightened mentality that I like. I cannot deal with the average Nigerian man the relationship dey always end under one month because majority of them are not enlightened

Lmaoooooooo. I can't deal also. I'm lazy and I don't have strength to fight or chase my fellow girls because of man.
I hate stress and confrontations, I nor get power.
I don't understand that Mark your territory chant they always yell about.

Aww. That's nice, I'm happy for you.

AmazonTopaz:
Sometimes you should not let it slide you need to put some of them in their place and call them to order. It is largely because of the men that many think lawyers are proud and lack humility I decided to never be in a relationship or marry a Nigerian lawyer because of mentalities like this they are lawyers who went through the training but their brains and orientations about women never change and they shamelessly call themselves learned.

And my dear do you know that what he said is actually what some of these ladies end up doing too some of them just want to be called lawyers if they even make it to law school and once they are done they throw the certificate for inside one place I remember a barrister asking why women will top classes in their universities and law school then after that when they have been called you only see the men outside it is because the average Nigerian woman has been domesticated apart from me sha because I can't kill myself.

However, I will admonish female lawyers to go into legal technology, digital marketing those new opportunities opening up for lawyers today so as for them to be able to juggle it because those areas are very flexible for women and they are career opportunities open there.
I am actually glad that many young women in the profession or upcoming ones are realising this.

Apt!

One would think that some of these male lawyers would be refined as a result of their education but NO, their brains are still shallow minded when it comes to women and discrimination. It's a shame really.

I actually do not let it slide. There are days when I'm vocal about it and also days that I don't have strength to be arguing with emoshuna men.

Yes, this is true. The average Nigerian women are family/home orientated, and this also includes female lawyers.
Way back in the University, a female Lecturer told us that We should get married before we become Lawyers, that men out there are scared of female lawyers, and it's hard for us to find horsebands. I found it really amusing, maybe she was talking about her personal experience though.

Then again, it's this fear of not getting a horseband , that is pushing many of them out of legal practice. Another reason is low pay and long practice hours. So many reasons actually.

There are many areas that are upcoming and really flexible for female lawyers especially in the tech startups, HR, Digital marketing etc.

AmazonTopaz:
Don't add "miss" or "Mrs" use Esquire that is the proper thing to use even the former CJN has clarified that. In the USA and UK and other countries esquire is for male and female everywhere around the world where that title is used you cannot be saying that there are no ladies at the bar and at the same time wanting us to identify as "Miss or Mrs".

Na really "emoshuna" anyway the legal profession is still dominated by men so don't be surprised at their sexism/chauvinism when using that gentlemen in skirt term to make them still feel superior to women because of the fact that many ladies are venturing into law and exceeding academically compared to the time past.

Hmm. Thank you for the clarification. I'd just stick to the Esquire name then.

Even for female Judges here sef, they still call them "Sir". I feel it's a backhand compliment or title.

Lol yeah they're emoshuna.
And you're absolutely right, there are so many male chauvinist in this profession who feel they're more superior than us. One was even telling me and my friends that after NLS, that we shouldn't bother to practice, that female lawyers should just marry and rear children.

This thread is so funny.

Same way female lawyers and law students in Nigeria that are becoming a majority in the legal profession still get condescendingly referred to as "gentlemen in skirt" what rubbish even in England it is a condescending and old fashioned word. It also reminds me of when the former CJN Walter Onoghen had to remind female lawyers that they are entitled to the Esquire title as it is obtained in the abroad

Cc: AmazonTopaz

I thought I was the only one who find that gentlemen in skirt tag for female lawyers very derogatory.

For starters sef, in NLS there's disparity between the Lecturers as to the choice of words to use for female lawyers.
Civil Litigation Lecturer said Women shouldn't be called "Esquires", that it's solely for men, the other Lecturer for Professional Ethics said "Esquires" are for both male and females.
What is wrong with these people?

I also find it appalling when a Lecturer told us that we should add either "Miss" or "Mrs" in our names when appearing in court.
I've settled within myself that when I'm drafting for exam purpose, I'd just jejely put only names that are unisex so that one emoshuna examiner will not fail me.
