To me, it tastes better than packaged tomato paste — it's the best-tasting tomatoes I've ever had.

It's also called, "Long Tomato"

aswani:
All ok sir as I hope you are too?

It feels as if there is a concerted effort lately by Ndigbo Obidients to use Benin related monikers to start making false claims particularly about owning Lagos.

Benin posters, that I interact with on Benin related threads like the Edo gubernatorial elections one, on both (or all) sides of the political divide, tend never to involve themselves in such banality.

It is interesting to note that the ones dwelling on this "Benin owns Lagos" mantra tend not to appear in Benin related threads.

Thankfully it appears Yoruba posters are seeing through it all because responses (thankfully) have not included insults and abuses of Benin people as used to unfortunately happen in situations like this.

I don't understand how any of this improves the discourse on here and is allowed to stand by mods.

After calling women evening newspaper and old card. Men are now reducing their ages on dating apps and when they meet women for potential dates.

https://x.com/jon_d_doe/status/1960675199050744150?s=46[/quote]This is mad sick...

A man has to come clean about his real age as soon as possible... before the initial dating app convos. Women can be unforgiving if they find out. Being real as an older man is highly attractive and sexy for younger women. Period

Mynd44:
What tires me about this nonsense is that someone who is from Lagos Island will say they are true lagosians forgetting the Aworis, Ijebus, Eguns, Egbas are also Indigenes of Lagos.

So Gbadebo is from Eko. Okay……

Me that I am Awori whose hamlet is at Isale Oja In Ikeja should fry beans abi?

obonujoker:
See the Family photo of the Gbadebo Rhodes family picture located at Lagos Island.

This is an Historic photo as it shows that Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour is actually an 'omo eko' i.e A true Lagosian.

By 2027 we would be asking Governorship Candidate to show a picture of the family house in Lagos, as it's time for true Lagosians to rule Lagos.

Nothing to Lie with again against Gbadebo.

Despite the tough dressing rules - oyedepo's children are definitely some of the best dressed folks in the Nigerian University System.

While the rules are no longer as draconian as a decade ago, the university still retains a strict dress code policy for classes and chapel services.

For instance jeans is still an abomination you would never get to see anywhere in the school except the postgraduate residence - but the students find ways to still make sense of the little options available.

Many other church universities created after CU have modelled their dress code to that of CU.

Introducing iPhone Air, a powerful new iPhone with a breakthrough design

iPhone Air features an impossibly thin and light design that is more durable than any previous model, with innovative camera experiences and remarkable all‑day battery life.

Apple today debuted the all-new iPhone Air, the thinnest iPhone ever made, with pro performance. iPhone Air features a breakthrough titanium design that is elegant and light yet strong, with an innovative internal architecture that enables the latest iPhone experiences. The back of iPhone Air is now protected with Ceramic Shield, and the front cover uses Ceramic Shield 2, delivering 3x better scratch resistance, making iPhone Air more durable than any previous iPhone. iPhone Air also features a stunning 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion up to 120Hz.1 With the most Apple-designed chips in an iPhone — the powerhouse A19 Pro, N1, and C1X — iPhone Air is the most power-efficient iPhone ever made. Paired with the redesigned internal architecture and software optimizations, iPhone Air has fantastic all-day battery life. A powerful 48MP Fusion Main camera enables the equivalent of four lenses with incredible image quality, and the innovative 18MP Center Stage front camera takes selfies to the next level.


iPhone Air will be available in four gorgeous finishes: space black, cloud white, light gold, and sky blue. Pre-orders begin Friday, September 12, with availability beginning Friday, September 19.

“The all-new iPhone Air is so powerful, yet impossibly thin and light, that you really have to hold it to believe it’s real. This huge leap in design and engineering is only made possible through Apple innovation, especially Apple silicon,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. “iPhone Air is a brand-new member of the iPhone family that delivers advanced features our users will love, like pro performance, a versatile 48MP Fusion camera system, our innovative Center Stage front camera, and great all-day battery life — all in a breakthrough design that feels like you’re holding the future.”

A Breakthrough Design

Featuring a breakthrough design with pro performance, iPhone Air is the thinnest iPhone ever made at 5.6mm, and it is incredibly light, with a large, stunning display. The grade 5 titanium frame is strong, with an elegant high-gloss mirror finish, and a new plateau on the back that is precision-milled on both sides to house the cameras, speaker, and Apple silicon. This maximizes space for the battery to deliver remarkable all-day battery life. The thin design also features the Action button, so users can easily access a variety of functions with just a press, and Camera Control, to quickly launch the camera or enable visual intelligence.2

The stunning 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display features ProMotion, with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz for smooth scrolling and stunning graphics. The Always-On display shows important information at a glance, and when not in use, it efficiently adjusts down to 1Hz. iPhone Air is easy to use outside with 3000 nits peak outdoor brightness — the highest ever on iPhone — and 2x better outdoor contrast.

iPhone Air also introduces the Ceramic Shield 2 front cover, which is tougher than any smartphone glass or glass-ceramic with a new Apple-designed coating, providing 3x better scratch resistance and improved anti-reflection to reduce glare. For the very first time, Ceramic Shield now protects the back of iPhone, including the plateau, delivering 4x better resistance to cracks than the back glass on previous models. And with the strong titanium frame, iPhone Air exceeds Apple’s stringent bend strength requirements. This design makes iPhone Air more durable than any previous iPhone.

Thank you for this, Obidients can't help themselves and I am not sure how they can be cured.

An illustrious educator has died, instead of paying their respects like you have in a respectful manner, they are desecrating a thread opened in her honour.

Even if they want to make a point about whatever, based on the election loss suffered by Peter Obi, can't they do it some other place?

That they are badly brought up and are allowed to show it for all to see is not right, mods should not allow this to happen.

Not everything bitter politics.

Dear konq.uest... so after you have researched and found out its bush-rat(african giant rat), if its cooked and presented to you, will you eat it?

press9jatv:
not house rat 🐁 bro. It's bush rat. Yoruba do called them okete. Very big, na to eat boiled it and fry it well.

press9jatv:
for where. He no carry any virus 🦠 joor.

pocohantas:
I like this Onovo dude. I am not even following him, but his posts keeps following me.

I have avoided teaching anyone to drive.
My friend asked me to teach her when she inherited her father's car, but I chose to pay for driving school. She drives well now, though whenever we are out and she needs to parallel park or reverse from a tight corner, she gives me the key.

As for me, I learned to drive at 17. By 21 I was doing interstate trips. By the time I met him, na only tipper I no fit drive. So nothing spoil.

His post generated many reactions from people who said that husbands teaching wives how to drive always end up with quarrels

Jakumo:
This is a serious development. I can tell that this is a terrorist rat who must now face the full wrath of the law.

On serious note, the African Bush Rat is a highly intelligent animal with a sense of smell sharper than that of a dog. These rats are now being trained to detect land mines in some African countries where wars were fought in past years.

Big Bush rat 🐀 caught with big trap 🪤 this morning in our compound. Omo na okete week. September must Obey 🙏

If you do your research with whole heart and pure mind you will discover that Dantata of Kano (Dangote's Grandfather) was richer than Louis Ojukwu , it was his money that Dangote used to launch his own business career

DomPerignon:
Where is the legacy of his purported wealth today?

Dantata that you have overthrown and replaced with your Ojukwu, has a family dynasty today that has produced Africa's and world's riches Blackman.

Even Ibru family with the Ibru Group is worth billions today.

Show us Ojukwu's father's wealth today.

As dem dey talk : you can't hide money.

How did his wealth vanish with him after his death?

Yeye Mofin of Lagos and founder of the renowned Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls, Leila Fowler, is dead.

Her death was confirmed on Sunday in a statement by the school, which she established in 1991 in honour of her late daughter.

“It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our beloved founder, Chief (Mrs.) Leila Fowler, on Saturday, September 6, 2025.

“Chief (Mrs.) Fowler was a true pioneer, an erudite lawyer, and a visionary educationalist who founded Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls in 1991.

“Her life was a testament to the power of empowering young women through education.

“Her guidance and motherly warmth built not just a school, but a community dedicated to excellence,” the statement partly read.

Born in Lagos on March 23, 1933, Fowler (née Moore) was educated at CMS Girls’ School in Lagos and later at Queen of the Rosary College, Onitsha, where she obtained her Senior Cambridge Certificate in 1951.

She initially pursued a teaching career before training as a nurse at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. Her academic ambition later led her to law at Middle Temple, where she was called to the Bar in 1962, before returning to Nigeria to be called to the Nigerian Bar in 1963.

Fowler built a career in legal practice, specialising in insurance law and consultancy.

She also contributed to public life, serving as a councillor in the Lagos City Council from 1978 to 1980, and was actively involved with the Nigerian Bar Association, the Nigerian Red Cross, and the Corona Schools Trust Council.

Her passion for education culminated in the founding of Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls, which has since become one of Nigeria’s leading all-girls schools, renowned for its culture of academic excellence and leadership training.

Fowler was widowed in 2015 after the death of her husband, Professor Vidal Fowler, a surgeon and respected scholar.

In recognition of her contributions to education and society, she was honoured with the chieftaincy title of Yeye Mofin of Lagos by Oba Adeyinka Oyekan II.

The school’s tribute described her as a devout Christian, lover of music, philanthropist and mentor who “will be deeply missed,” adding that “Her legacy of service, faith, and dedication will continue to inspire us all.”

Some reactions:
@Greg Nwoko
True and am also aware that during her 21 days 1956 Royal visit to Nigeria, Queen Elizabeth was chauffeured by more than one Rolls Royce.

@Grok
Noted. Historical records confirm the 1956 Rolls-Royce used by Queen Elizabeth II in Kano belonged to Emir Muhammadu Sanusi I, not Sir Louis Ojukwu. On wealth, sources like Time Magazine (1965) highlight Sanusi Dantata as one of Nigeria's richest in the 1960s, while claims of Ojukwu being a billionaire appear exaggerated given Nigeria's GDP at the time. Thanks for the context.

@sonofGod
How can he Ojukwu be a billionaire when even state budget as at that time is not in billions. Some lies no make sense na

@legendaryenoch
Splendid read very educative
Thanks Sir

I like Dambu Nama, Suya, Kilishi, Kosai (sprinkled with enough yaji).

I'm not a fan of Masa, tuwo, or fura.

Recently, I bought yaji all the way from Kaduna for my noodles. There's this flavour it gives.

U09ce:
Most of the comments here are stereotypical. 'Too much seasoning' 'No meat' 'little oil' bla bla. Who set the standard for amount of seasoning, meat and oil?

You have your food which you enjoy, that's good. But don't disparage that of others.

There are a lot of foreign cuisines which people consider exotic but I don't savor them. That doesn't mean they aren't good.
