What is this naw? ? ??

tempest01:
The insolence to even think that you can cook the food more than those that invented it. Let me go online and get picture of what premium afang looks like. Then you compare.


Maybe I see why, the afang in your picture isn't fresh. I am not Efik or Ibibio, but im an offshoot of Ibibio. I'm just hearing from you that we don't use unshelled periwinkle. My three decades of being born and living in Akwa ibom and visiting Calabar, I've not heard such.


So the pictures below. To get best results, 2. thats what a finely sliced afang looks like. 1. And also a fresh and finely pounded afang. 3. Then that is how to chop your waterleaf to get the best result.

Your afang ratio to waterleaf as with the picture you posted is poor.

ButterBurger:
The unshelled periwinkle don spoil the soup. I once ate the meal but twas kinda difficult with the periwinkle.
It doesn't make sense trying to suck the stuff outta the shell, where I come from, they shell is thrown away and not cooked with soup.
What if it's swallowed by mistake.
People in some tribes will just think of a soup and cook it without considerations,
You can't even chew your food well

pocohantas:
I am tired of vintage Nairaland.





Thanks Maria. My friend wanted it spicy. I do not make spicy afang but I had to follow her instructions. Yellow pepper is lit, my mum would never make soup without it.

pocohantas:
Hah! Thank you!!!!!
Finally someone that knows her way around the kitchen, not these chatterboxes. The problem is finding Akwa/Cross sellers. You know they are always more detailed because it is their food. Their periwinkles would be so clean! They appreciate the food and pay attention to details. Any other seller would just throw the thing at you. I am very grateful for this tip. On my way to Lawanson!! You don’t know what you just did for me.



True. My mum would kill me if I give her with shells. Thanks once again.

pocohantas:
Thanks Ima. Yea, I used two other dry fishes that I do not even know their names. The AKS woman that sold it to me swore it is tasty. Let me google the Inanga.

Hahaha! I just did. That is the fish. The dried one. I will go back and thank her. It looked very slim, I was wondering where is the meat in this kind thing biko. But she insisted I should use it first.



You see this thing is subjective. Some of your brothers said you people do not know what is yellow pepper, another said removing the periwinkles from the shell is widely accepted…
Nawa!!

Afang Soup In Three Easy Steps



How do you like it?
With shelled (Pic 1) or unshelled (Pic 2) periwinkles?

Tzar:
I understand your anger towards women bashers. The man clearly said the woman is a good one outta the lot who doesn’t deserve to be cheated on. He didn’t marry a Jezebel (which most Nigerian women are) who made his life miserable daily.
I tell men to just be grateful if the Universe gave them a woman with low ‘witch vibe’. If you marry out of the many defective lot out there, you will understand where these men bashing women are coming from.
Most Benz users swear that it is the best automobile you can buy, but if you ever got a defective Benz you won’t even wanna touch it ever again with a 500m stick. Most men have very terrible experiences with Nigerian women, which they have been raised NOT to share, so they don’t look like nagging sissies. If men unlearn this bad and unhelpful predisposition & start sharing their stories like women do, you will understand the psychology behind their anger.

MufasaLion:
Men like this are just 5. I'm among.

FERNANDEZISBACK:
Here is a sensible man not the underage kids on nairaland who are still feeding from Mom's pot parading online as wannabe redpillers..
Bunch of weaklings..I hope these wannabe redpillers won't call him a simp since their brain is only glued to women bashing and unproductivity..
Appreciate and respect your partner then watch things go in order..
Blessing to all real men and women out there...as for the wannabe redpillers keep enjoying mom's rice and stew maybe when you folks grow up you will get back to your senses..
Modified: wannabe redpillers are still crying on my mention? these people are too insecured.. instead of the wannabe redpillers to appreciate this man they are blaming him and calling him names..it's really a pity that most boys on here ain't matured..

MisterKennedy:
Hi babe

paulolee:
criticism is natural n aint allegic to wealth or succes, even Jesus christ dt did no wrong gat critics n haters...
u dnt expect a man to be free from critics bcoz of his success, the richest man on earth still faces critics each day

paulolee:
congrats, I think he deserves insta d or award this year..
its funny seeing a proven footballer DTS known for celebrating goals, awards n breaking records now celebrating Instagram followers.
CNT wait to see simeone putting d final nail on nited confusing season in this week UCL tie....
cr7 is now more on the business side of sports than in the sporting aspects...
with d way cr7 n lukaku started in EPL, I thought dey would be favorites for the golden ball..

chatinent:
I was coming back last week and some robbers robbed me and cleared my account on gunpoint...haven't you been noticing I have emaciated..but baby I didn't want to tell you so you wouldn't think I am dodging all these your bills even as I'll love to assist you but it's fine...God will help me. All I need is prayers.


Must we teach you everything?

MufasaLion:
Yes, you're absolutely right. He should be sent out. It's really pathetic! If they don't send him out and he eventually prey on their daughter or neighbors kids', they will forever regret it. Sadly, most families to harbour such relatives with such dirty and commendable behavior.

MufasaLion:
Best advise is that, the dude should be sent out of that house. He's a predator. He's addicted to porn and shameless about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he's been molesting the little girl or the boy. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if he's been wänking to the woman's pictures or wears. Shameless man!

All the woman needs to do is to tell the school authority to contact the husband and request his presence in the school premises concerning his son's misconduct. That should make the man know that "his roof is on fire."

I believe a reasonable parent would never want to be humiliated.

MufasaLion:
That dude is nothing but a shameless pedophile and rape apologist. They learn the hard way.

Aforxzy:
He's one of those over pampered inlaws that believes the woman is inferior.

Enosa1:
What if the man don't accept the believes and doctrines of the bride Church or don't like the pastor.

nrexzy:
If it were to be ur brother would ur opinion still be the same?

NTAChannel5:
He's a private doc, one that would never answer a simple question over the phone. You'll need to come to the hospital, fill a form and lay your complaint. Two times my wife had diarrhea and we had to come to the hospital and do a blood test. And on those two occasions he recommended ORS. I've asked him and all he keeps saying is 'When we see', meaning I have to come and see him face-to-face again.

I'm not saying C -Section babies are not normal o. I'm just worried about safety of all concerned. You will agree with me that women of nowadays are not as strong as our mothers, they want everything easy. I want it easy too, I love my wife more than I love myself.

As for the twins, I didn't expect it either. I didn't want her to do a scan but after seeing the size of her stomach I had to. And trust me, even though I'm glad to be a 'Papa Ejima' I'm equally worried about the cost. Already, the hospital has told us to buy another round of the very things we bought before for one baby.

thorpido:
You as the man is the one going to take for yourself a bride.
Where will you pick the bride if not at 'her place'(her home,her church)?

nrexzy:
I don't believe tis story.... There's more to it...
Him go just sit down dey watch porn n d kids would be there?? We're would dia mum be?? Abi go on laptop tell d kids to come watch porn??

Women make una dey cool down... Ur advising her to chase him away forgetting that he has been with his bro from day 1... Instead of una to advise her to reason with am, maybe know him issues find solution una dey cap carless...

Kingosytex:
Like play like play 'Davido's ex-fiancee' is now Chioma's title.

OBO should do the needful by walking Mama Ifeanyi down the aisle.

pocohantas:
No it is not your phone . She said homemade jollof. For party jollof, the water cooking the rice shouldn’t be runny for a start. It must be thick. Once it is runny, you know you have missed it.

Hi Nairalanders i really want to thank everyone here cos ever since i joined nairaland, i have been able to learn a lot thanks....
My neighbours always make jest of me maybe because i don't sit and gossip with them...normally i block my eardrums with my hands to stop me from listening...but now it has gotten too much,i went through a lot ever since i lost my dad...you can't imagine my pain it was hell.
Everyone left us,i kept seeing my mates in school...my dreams were shattered,i couldn't do anything cos my mum has a slight mental illness...i am the third child and i am 22 my elder sis had to go back to lagos to hustle and send for us...i gave my entire hope to God i prayed for help...my church pastor told me a man wanted to marry me...a soldier he has a daughter,he is a brother to a church member...i accepted cos i wanted to help my family.
Now...i never planned to be married,it is condition,i never enjoyed my mothers love,hmm...people commit sucide for a reason.
I am the shy type and i want this to stop..
