Edikaikong soup is a mouth watering nutritious vegetable soup, native to the Efiks of Cross River and Akwa Ibom states in Nigeria and one of their most richest and popular soup recipe.

This delicious soup edikaikong is made with a generous amount of proteinous ingredients which makes it rich in taste and flavour.

Edikaikong is usually prepared with a combination of two different vegetables; Ikong Ubong/Ugwu leaves (pumpkin leaves) and water leaves but in the absence of fluted pumpkin leaves and water leaves, Spinach and Lamb lettuce/Mache (Valerianella locusta) can be used.

Cooking Directions For Edikaikong Soup
Place the assorted meat and stock fish in the pot, add a little water, the chopped onion and one stock cube. Cook until both the meat and stock fish is soft and there is just a little liquid in the pot.

i think this is also good, apply for study leave though not all coy approves that but if there is provision for such, make use of it and if the pasture is greener abroad, u will tender your resignation with ur employer

DMainMan:
It depends on u. Do u want to gain knowledge and have master's because u wanna be more employable. If u are afraid of job, den try to apply for US or Canada schools. When u finish, u can b given 2 years permit after your school. However, u will sign a bond with PTDF you will come back after your studies.

Well if I were in your shoe. I will go sha like I did during my time. The experience and finances you will gain from the scholarship outweighs it. You can also apply for study leave without pay in your current job. Well it all depends on your personality sha. Just try and make an informed decision because you are solely responsible for the outcome.

Gbam! u said it all. lobatan

Congratulations to the couple.


But pls eh, ppl shld stop tapping into things they see on social media. They have been together for 50 years doesn't mean they have been happy for 50 years.

Work for your own happiness stop tapping into what you don't know.

I can't find the old post where we once discussed the low IQ of Nigerian girls these days and i remembered the girls fought back with venom on that one.
It's almost impossible to find a girl that can read a book cover to cover, most girls can't even hold a decent conversation for 5 minutes unless you're talking about Davido or ToNto Dike.
They bring no value whatsoever to the life of a man, all they have is a pretty face and some not even so pretty.
The rate of female ignorance in Nigeria has resulted in Multitudes of pretty faced girls with no personality .
Most thinks all that men needs is just sex which shows the standards they've got.
How can these idiots raise the next generation of leaders ?
Are we not doomed already ?

Sex is soo easy and cheap these days you can get nuts reloaded for just 400 Naira.

I pity men that would marry these women.

To some extent, you are right understanding those are the categories of girls you have seen or met

but when you meet the real women of virtue and substance, you cant but appreciate them because they have got the best brain in the world

good things are not found every where you know? But trust, there are very brilliant, beautiful and intelligent girls out there
