Bintdawood: Hello! Im good thank you. Trust you're doing good.
Okay for the dough For every 4 cups of flour i use 125g of butter, little salt when im not using simas butter and 1 tbsp of baking powder then water to create a dough. I'll keep and allow it to rest (breathe)😂
For the fillings I cook and debone my chicken (breast preferably) and put in a food processor or mortar to grind into thinly slice. Keep aside then peel my onions and dice into smaller parts, then stir fry in a pan with little oil or butter. I add little scotch bonnet cuz i dont like it spicy, go on to add my grinded or processed meat, spices and seasonings the stir until it looks golden and dry with a texture similar to cotton candy, If its done, i then allow to cool while i prepare to start making dem pies💃🏾 i break egg in a small bowl and a brush to bind the edge of the pie. I cut the dough into smaller pieces,roll out,place on the cutter, add the already made fillings, brush egg on one side and cut. When im almost done, i reheat my oven and place my baking sheet, place them on top and egg wash for golden glaze.
it's not a trade secret actually so don't worry. Good luck with your baking, and I hope your creative skills shine. Dont hesitate to reach out if you need any tips or guidance.
As for the air fryer, don't have one, so I'm not sure if it can be used to bake the pies or how they would turn out. Oven baking works best for me!
@Bintdawood,
That's impressive! I appreciate the feedback here. Just before I got this insightful feedback from you, I had initiated moves to drill down further and get this info from a few other good sources. So, I got some insights from Jemimah and when your feedback came in, it enabled me to quickly understand your post better. I practically have all the needed ingredients ready and will get down to it in the coming weekends. This last weekend was simply used to do some "culinary intelligence gathering" so that things will pan out right the first time of trying.
I'll try out your fillings recipe as stated in your post and any other recipe as well to see how the tastes pan out in the coming weeks. The fact is that I now know that procedure matters a lot in the prep process and you can get about 10 to 12 chicken pies (or meat pies) depending on the sizes of the kneaded dough cuts (using the dough cutter) from 500 grams of self-raising flour which I already have.
Last but not least, I found out from further research that aside from using the classic kitchen oven, you can also bake chicken pies (and meat pies) without ovens and air fryers too can be used to bake chicken pies as well! Chicken pies baked in Air Fryers take about 22 minutes, in regular ovens it takes 45 minutes, and without ovens it takes about 60 minutes!
Enjoy your day and have an interesting and productive week ahead.
Lionessza6: Tinubu has never sold drugs in SA Tinubu has never kidnapped and trafficked people in SA Tinubu has never scammed people in SA Tinubu has never attacked the police in SA Tinubu has never raped in SA

williamsbill051: The Igala people are an ethnic group primarily founded in in kogi state, Nigeria, with smaller population in neighboring states. They have a rich cultural heritage and speak the Igala language, a member of the Niger-Congo family.
Beans soup popularly known as "obo-egwa" is a significant dish in igala cuisine. This traditional soup is typically made from beans, palm oil, pepper and other local ingredients. Historically, beans soup has been a staple due to its nutritional value and the availability of beans in the region. The dish is often enjoyed during festivals, family gatherings, and as a comfort food symbolizing the resourcefulness and agricultural life style of the Igala people. Here are the ingredients and guide in preparing a delicious Igala beans soup (obo-egwa)
Ingredients - 2 cups of beans (black-eyed peas or brown beans) - 1 large onion, chopped - 3 cloves garlic, minced - 3 tomatoes, chopped - 1/2 cup palm oil - 1 teaspoon ground Okpei/uziza seeds - 1 tablespoon crayfish, ground - 1 tablespoon ogiri (fermented locust beans) - 200 grams smoked fish or meat (optional) - Fresh greens (bitter leaf, spinach, or ugu), chopped - Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the Beans: Cooking beans soup Begin with preparing the beans. This begin by soaking the beans overnight to reduce cooking time and enhance texture and to wash the beans, to remover beans shells, making sure that the shells are well remove and no more. Drain and rinse the beans, then pour the washed beans with half cup of oil in a large pot of water until they are soft and tender. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Drain and set aside.
Put a separate large pot on fire, heat the palm oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and stir until they are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add shopped Tomatoes and Spices: Stir in the chopped tomatoes, allowing them to cook down and release their juices. Then, mix in the ground Okpei/uziza seeds, ground crayfish, and ogiri. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, letting the flavors blend.
Add your protein; first your smoked fish. And your meat (use any meat of your choice) to the pot. Allow the proteins to absorb the flavors and heat through for about 10 minutes.
Add the cooked beans to the pot with the aromatic base and proteins. Stir well to combine. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Finally, add sult, pepper and seasoning as needed respectfully. Wait for about 2-3 minutes before stirring your delicious obo-egwa. Add fresh green such as ugwu cent leaf etc: Just before serving, stir in the fresh greens. They will wilt quickly, adding a burst of color and nutrition to your soup. (Adding greens is optional because most igala did not want the greens in their beans soup while others want). You ladle your beans soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has a good mix of meat and smoked fish respectfully.
Enjoy your homemade Igala beans soup (obo-egwa) with traditional accompaniment like pounded yam, oje-abacha, fufu, eba and it also go well with rice.
This hearty nutritions dish is perfect for sharing with family and friends, bringing a taste of Igala culture to your table.

You're obviously relatively new here on NL. It's WRONG to post this kind of obvious penile enlargement advertising in the NL Food Section. Read on till the end so that you'll know what to do NEXT.
Second if you don't STOP, the NL Supermoderators will ban you completely from posting on NL and delete all the posts and threads you've ever made on NL advertising these enlargement products.
Third, I'll advice YOU to put your penile and boobs enlargement ad in your "NL signature file" and make it colorful with your phone OR Whatsapp contacts. There are Nairalanders who have colorful signature files here that you can copy from. Then you can use Forum Marketing principles such as posting USEFUL information for people and replying messages on different threads. I can assure you that those who want your products will contact you to make purchases if it's truly certified by NAFDAC and will not damage people's kidneys! Read up more on Forum Marketing and download any free PDF book on the rules of Forum Marketing which has been in use by online marketers since the mid to late 1990s.
So, you have to stop posting this in the Food Section and other sections because it constitutes spamming and so that you do NOT get totally banned and you will NOT be able to use this your moniker again to post on NL for the period of the ban.
Fineman2: A Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger plane crashed Friday outside Moscow, killing all three crew members on board, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
The crash reportedly happened during a test flight, when no passengers were on board.
Authorities are investigating what caused the fatal incident.
The crash comes after a series of issues with Russia’s flagship plane, which was developed by the Russian aerospace company Sukhoi Civil Aircraft and was the first all-new commercial Russian aircraft produced after the end of the Soviet Union.
In May 2012, a Sukhoi Superjet 100 jet was on a demonstration flight in Indonesia when it crashed into Mount Salak, killing all 45 people aboard.
Then, in May 2019, 41 people died after an Aeroflot Superjet burst into flames after an emergency landing just after taking off from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport.
BadMaster: Not hausas generally, but those from Kano have proven overtime that they are some of the best business men in Nigeria.
Kano people have a saying, "Kano tumbin giwa, ko dame kazo an fika." Basically, it means, whatever you bring to Kano, you will find that there's someone who has it more than you.
Donbisco2010: Thanks for this video from Tayo. Bro i really enjoyed it and i stayed in boca chica back then. This made me want to return lol
You're welcome Don, anytime. Indeed, you should return to the DR as it's also the most visited of all the Carribean Islands every year by tourists on vacation. Enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week ahead.
nedekid: In that case, the merit is high. The police should therefore fund it, after all they have allocations for their operations. Police has no mandate to charge Nigerians for their services. The limit of their role is clearly stated by the NBA.
@Nedekid,
Indeed, I'm on the same page with you here. A significant number of folks in Nigeria must NOT be burdened with extra financial charges at this time. People (including the elderly) have horrendous stories to tell about having to pay more for expensive drugs to treat themselves for age-related illnesses, alongside paying more for feeding, transportation, rents, and school fees.
The beauty of the security-enhancement initiative for cars is very commendable especially as it'll prevent innocent folks from being arrested, mentally and physically tortured before being locked up for buying imported or locally pre-owned cars from the U.S., Canada, etc. Recently, a court ordered the forfeiture of 36 cars that were stolen in Canada but we're tracked to Festac Town in 2023.
"In 2021, the Federal Government revealed that 40 per cent of vehicles brought into the country were stolen from elsewhere.In 2021, the Federal Government revealed that 40 per cent of vehicles brought into the country were stolen from elsewhere."
ajl: Get the Power of Positive Thinking. If you are Yoruba, go online and delve into the spiritual philosophy of your ancestors by exploring the Orunmila Ifa corpus, who existed before Socrates and directed his disciples to memorize all his words. Socrates words were only written down by Pluto, his disciple, 30 yrs after his death. So, it's obvious who the father of philosophy is. You also can get "In the Light of the Truth".
Those two books I mentioned influenced me a lot in my 20s. I wish I had the same access to the IFA corpus then, which I discovered much later.
Bump. Orunmila Ifa Corpus.
The Pareto Principle (or the 80/20 percent Principle) is a GREAT time management strategy that ensures you don't waste time on needless endeavors. Any standard book on Pareto Principle will suffice.
ogododo: Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has ordered the enforcement of the digitalised Central Motor Registry by July 29, 2024.
This, according to him, is to modernise and digitise the motor vehicle registration system, bolstering the nation’s safety and security framework.
The e-CMR is an advanced, real-time online repository of motor vehicle data, designed to support police investigations, and operational activities, and combat vehicle-related crimes, including terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and armed robbery.
The transition to a digitalised system, according to the police, will streamline the documentation and verification processes for vehicle ownership and related transactions.
In a statement on Saturday, Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, said that following the IGP’s directives, the e-CMR system will make services like change of ownership, license number, engine, and chassis/body seamless, ensuring vehicle genuineness, aiding in tracking and recovery of stolen vehicles, and preventing the sale of stolen vehicles to innocent buyers.
The statement read in part, “As part of the efforts of the IG to enhance the security of lives and property, the Nigeria Police Force is set to commence the enforcement of the digitalized Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) within the next 14 days, specifically on the July 29, 2024, to rejuvenate and digitalize the motor vehicle registration system, significantly bolstering our nation’s safety and security framework.
“Following the directives of the IGP, services such as change of ownership, change of license number, change of engine, and change of chassis/body would become seamless as the e-CMR system would ensure the validation of vehicle genuineness and ownership, enhancing the ability to track and recover stolen vehicles effectively, and preventing the purchase of stolen vehicles by innocent buyers.” https://punchng.com/nba-gives-ig-seven-days-to-stop-cmris-certificate-issuance/
Reading through the article, it's a FANTASTIC and advanced security-enhancement initiative that would remove ALL the inefficiencies in vehicle ownership and minimize kidnappings and stolen vehicles. You don't want to be a victim by buying a STOLEN vehicle and then discover down the road that it's a stolen car after the police arrest you as a crime accomplice. The IGP, FRSC and the NBA should harmonised their views for the success of this security-enhancement initiative. Data sharing via a centralized system between the Police, all the Intelligence Agencies and the FRSC is very important here.
A significant number of cars being sold as imported pre-owned cars and SUVs in West Africa (especially Nigeria because of the large market) have been found to be stolen vehicles from especially the East Coast of the U.S. and Canada.
Detectives from homicide section of the Rivers State Police Command swung into action and tracked Nwibiagbor phone number to his church where they waited for him and arrested him after Sunday service at the Methodist Church at Rumukalagbor, where he served as the Youth President.
During the service, the detectives who came to arrest him watched him with keen interest as Nwibiagbor took to the pulpit and gave a dramatic testimony, claiming that he had escaped a kidnapping attempt on March 14, 2024, same day he escaped from the hotel room where he took the mother of three to enjoy each other.
He told the congratulation gullibly that his phone had been stolen. His theatrical performance and praise for God’s deliverance were met with enthusiastic responses from the congregation in the church and his innocent wife was also in the church with him on the fateful day.
However, the detectives who were in the church were not convinced by Nwibiagbor’s narration to the pastor, his wife and other members of the church.
As the service ended and the congregations took turns to congratulate him, the detectives who were already in the church approached and arrested him to the surprise of the pastor, his wife and other member of the church who were surprised seeing him being whisked away.

UpaIweka: Buhler, a multi-national company, has opened a world-class grain processing centre in the Northwest state of Kano, an investment said to be geared toward helping the Nigerian government in tackling food insecurity in the country.
The centre is the second to be opened in the country and commissioned in Lagos, and is recently dedicated to the processing of local and ancient grains, as well as reengineering grain processing.
Thomas Ogundiran, managing director of Buhler, made this disclosure, during a press engagement organised as part of the flagging off of the centre, situated in the premises of Northern Nigeria Flour Mills, Kano.

The appointment follows the recent inauguration of the Presidential Committee on Implementation of Livestock Reforms and the establishment of a new Ministry of Livestock Development.
The President seeks to harness and develop Nigeria's agricultural potential, including the animal husbandry ecosystem, to spur sustainable economic growth, create industries and jobs, and eradicate violent conflicts between farmers and herders over time.
The President expects efficient coordination and liaison on matters relating to this critical sector.

They SSA and the folks in the new Livestock Ministry have to work in tandem with the private investors on how to rapidly set up ranches and dairy farms which would ensure profitable, higher yields of milk for every hybrid (or crossbred) cow in stock.
These newer dairy farms can be set up in the Far-North of Nigeria in order to ensure that some of the Fula cow herders roaming wildly around the Sahelian region of West Africa do NOT move around commercial and smaller farms while destroying crops and harming innocent folks with AK-47 rifles.

Great100000: In a historic ceremony, President Bola Tinubu’s Aide-De-Camp, Lt Col. Nurudeen Yusuf, has been appointed the new Elemona of Ilemona land in Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Following the demise of his father, the former Elemona, in May, the community’s king makers chose Lt Col. Yusuf as their new traditional ruler, citing his kindness and humanitarian gestures to the community.
After receiving authorization from the Nigerian Army and approval from the Kwara State Governor and Traditional Council of Chiefs, Lt Col. Yusuf will be presented with his staff of office by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
As the Elemona of Ilemona land, Oba Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, Fiwadade Ilufemiloye Oyekanmi II, will appoint regents to manage the throne until his retirement from military service. This unique blend of traditional and military leadership marks a new chapter in Ilemona’s history, with the President’s ADC set to serve his community in a new capacity.
naptu2: Picture 3) Wole Soyinka on his matriculation day at the University College, Ibadan.
Picture 4) 18 year old Wole Soyinka as a freshman at the University College, Ibadan.
Whoa! That's an awesome tribute for the Godfather and respected internationalist, Professor Wole Soyinka. Soyinka who is a very fluent French speaker has done a lot in the field of international relations globally and he usually visits Cuba every year to interact with members of the Afro-Cuban and larger Cuban community within the Yoruba religion (Lucumi) and cultural space, and he related well with Fidel Castro when he was alive.
It was from Professor Wole Soyinka's book, "You Must Set Forth at Dawn" that I first got to know back in the 1990s about the town of Bekuta in Jamaica's Westmoreland county where descendants of Yorubas (from among the Egba folks of Abeokuta) who moved to Jamaica from Sierra Leone in the 1800s to work as indentured workers after the plantation slavery had been abolished in all British colonial territories. Soyinka had visited Jamaica back in the 1980s and 1990s and that's how he ended up visiting Bekuta which is a named derived from Abeokuta in Nigeria.
Massive 90 cannon shots for the iconic 1986 Nobel laureate! Thanks to Soyinka for adding to mankind's body of knowledge in his own unique way through satires and more.

I remember that even David Umeahi said his family members voted for the opposition party favored by most South East Ibo electorate during the last Presidential election cycle, so, getting a competent person who will align with the current Party in control of the Federal Government will take a lot of due diligence.
Some people especially from the South East who were due to be appointed by the government (were later found to be fierce supporters of the Nigerian Labor Party candidate) and had even posted inciting election messages on their X accounts and other social media platforms.
ZekeYeager: As Eid-el-Kabir approaches, pepper, a common spice in many Nigerian cuisines, has become a scarce commodity in Kwara’s capital city of Ilorin.
A market survey conducted on Thursday at the Mandate market in the Ilorin West LGA, where pepper is sold in large quantities, found that the commodity has become expensive in the past few weeks.
The product had become scarce, with little or none in sight, including tomatoes.
Some pepper sellers attributed the scarcity to flooding and pest attacks in the North, where pepper is grown in large quantities.
Jamilu Isa said they were expecting the vehicles to bring pepper and onions, but they were informed that there were no goods for them to load. He lamented that the flood had washed all away, and those not washed were affected by pests.
A small container of tomatoes formerly sold for N150 now sells for N2,000, a waste bin basket formerly sold for between N1,500 and N2,000 now goes for N15,000, and a big basket of N10,000 now sells for N175,000 and above.
Also, a basket of Scotch Bonnets, popularly called ‘rodo’, which used to sell for N1,500, now goes for N12,000.
Similarly, a bag of onions now goes for N75,000 as against N50,000 and below that it was sold.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, food prices in Nigeria increased 40.53 per cent in April of 2024 over the same month in the previous year, and food inflation reached an all-time high of 40.53 per cent in April of 2024.
On a visit to ram dealers, they lamented low sales as buyers complained of the high prices of rams.
Azeez Abdullahi, a ram seller, said the ram that went for N50,000 a few years back was sold for between N170,000 and N200,000 and above this year.
He blamed the hike in the price of rams on the high cost of feed and transportation.
A prospective customer, Yahaya Usman, said that because of the exorbitant price, some of his friends planned to contribute money to buy and share a cow, which is also acceptable in Islam as an alternative to rams.
"Some pepper sellers attributed the scarcity to flooding and pest attacks in the North, where pepper is grown in large quantities.
Jamilu Isa said they were expecting the vehicles to bring pepper and onions, but they were informed that there were no goods for them to load. He lamented that the flood had washed all away, and those not washed were affected by pests."
That's awesome! A 1986 interview conducted in French. This is the first time I'll be seeing an interview of the iconic Nobel laureate and respected internationalist, Professor Wole Soyinka speaking fluent French.
@ Naptu2, YOU did a GREAT job in aggregating all the evergreen information on Prof Oluwole Soyinka here. You're indeed a grandmaster of evergreen insights. Merci beaucoup!
