Afam4eva: I'm referring to the Igbo language and not Igbo origin. I'm also tired of the endless Ika-Igbo argument. So, i'm not for or against the fact whether Ikas are Igbo or not as far as this thread is concerned, i'm only referring to the fact that knowing how to speak Ika and mainstream Igbo shouldn't be soo much of an achievement because it's like speaking different dialects or a language. Note that i said language and not ethnic group.

It shouldn't. I'm yet to meet an ika/ukwuani person who can't speak or understand core igbo. They're almost similar. Although most igbo people find it difficult to comprehend the ika/ukwuani language. Weird, huh?

OPIA jesus: you sure

Is that a question?

I spent majority of my pre-teen in the village. Infact I practically grew up there. I farmed a lot too.

Your name "opia" is a very popular name back home.

Afam4eva: Of course some would but it's what it is. if you understand Ika, it's not so much of an achievement understanding mainstream Igbo.

There's been so many arguments here and offline about your argument. I always try to steer clear off of them.

I'm ika, and I can't say I don't understand the igbo language, I do. I'm always of the opinion that people should be left to choose/decide where they want to belong to or rather where they believe they originated from. And majority of them have vehemently rejected the Igbo origin. And I believe it's for a good reason; trying to create an identity for themselves. I know if you ask me, I'll tell you I'm not igbo.

Afam4eva: Of course i'm aware of that. I was just giving him options of more Igbo speaking people.

Not sure about the bolded. Most people would disagree with you.

Alikaxon: shut up and don't say wat u don't know. Agbor is both a town and a language, just like benin people speak benin. Use common sence boy, do u kw our traditional history? IKA is not a language, it might be oda towns language but not d language of Agbor.

I'm not going to argue with somebody who begins a friendly conversation with an insult. But I'll tell you this; there's no such thing as Agbor language. Agbor is just a town just like the other numerous ika speaking towns around; like Umunede and co. It's only someone who lived far away from home that would refer to Agbor as a language. And it's totally understandable, being the most popular amongst several. When next you come home, try talking to your parents or elders who have lived here for a considerable amount of time.

It's just like a yoruba man saying I speak ikorodu. There's the yoruba language, and different yoruba dialects. So you also have the ika language, and the different ika dialects.

Afam4eva: You for kuku add Agbor and Ndokwa language

Agbor is a town, not a language. I believe you meant to say "Ika".

Yvete: Witch hazel is incredibly good for eczema. Google it!

I used to spend a lot of money on beauty/skin care products until late last year. I realized that one product can do the magic. I use witch hazel with cotton buds as a toner/acne cure/..just anything. My face is smooth as a baby's butt!

Where specifically can I get that in Lagos? I read it's a very good treatment for facial sweating.

pri3stess: Use tea tree oil, neem is also good.

Where can I get that one too?

I'd prefer a friendly game between the super eagles and the U17 team.

Gboliwe: Haba. I said I made coconut candy. But I can make sweet, very sweet coconut rice too. Do you want its recipe?

Yes please. That's what I'd like to have tomorrow for dinner. Sorry for the troubles.

Actually, I don't mind doing it. What are the rock-hard muscles for?

Thanks, but I thought it was coconut rice we were talking about, no? I used to eat those candies as a kid.

sureteeboy: 5million Naira per month

Too small, right? My thoughts too.

I'm in Lagos. Lots of coconuts here.

How do I put them together? A step by step guide would be nice.

Lol. I would have asked you to send them over, but I'm filled already as it is.

Is there a recipe for that around here? Might try it over the weekend.

Lol.

I do too. I don't want to see my glass empty.

degurl: Secondly, noodles are not junk foods please. There varieties of ways that noodles can be prepared and your body will get a healthy dose of nutrients!

Take for instance, noodles prepared with green leafy vegetables, carrots, cabbage, peas, fish, green peppers, onions, crayfish etc. If you prepare your noodles with a combination of two or three of the above ingredients, will you vstill still Call out a junk food?

That's probably true, but we know majority of people who consume noodles won't go that far in enriching it. That's a lot of work plus you'll spend more money. And we all know the number one reason people eat noodles is because it's cheap and quick to prepare. I know I do.

I'm an athlete; bodybuilding & kickboxing. So I eat 5-6 chunks of meals throughout the day. Of course this is not always feasible as I have a regular day job in IT with back to back meetings throughout the day, but I always find ways of getting all my calories.

I'm following.

Well since there's no thread to welcome members to the food section, I'm creating this one for you all.

I recently moved to a moderately sized flat, and I've decided to start cooking on weekends. The "eating out" thing is a tad heavy on the pocket. Let me subsidize it a little abeg.

So I welcome myself here, and hope to pick up one or two skills from the experienced cooks here.

Oh, and unlike the typical naija man, I sabi cook rice and stew

Thanks. I found it in the market. It's very much different from tatashi.

For those who do not know, chili pepper is a source to happiness. I just learnt of this recently, hence my question above. Google to learn more.

Cute!

Quite pathetic and childish I must say. As a blackberry owner you ought to be happy that friends and family on other platforms can now connect with you easily.

And oh, I'm a power user and I get the humour too.
