This is not in context. Anything will affect the taste of a food. Even salt.
Aha! Good. You've accepted that the firewood affects the flavour of the food.

The wood smoke affects the flavour of the food.

The taste, which has nothing to do with FIREWOOD.
The taste had everything to do with firewood. Have you eaten jollof rice cooked with firewood?

It can be party jollof without wood smoke. Caterers have been cooking without firewood and we have been eating. Even the ones in diaspora cook without “wood smoke”.

My aunty makes premium party jollof rice.
grin grin grin

Nobody says that caterers have not been cooking without firewood and nobody says that people have not been eating. The issue is the difference between party jollof rice and regular jollof rice. What is the difference between regular jollof rice and party jollof?

Op says most sophisticated caterers don't use firewood again.
My response.


naptu2:
You are talking about the secret to making jollof rice. There is a difference between regular jollof rice and party jollof rice. The difference is wood smoke.

Your aunt makes regular jollof rice. It might be great regular jollof rice, no argument there, but it's not party jollof rice without the wood smoke.

My aunt is a caterer and she doesn’t use firewood. She is a PREMIUM caterer and her jollof is bam! The secret is NOT firewood. grin



It is a type of pepper na.



Food have been burning in homes without firewood. Anything can burn food with the right intensity. Yes, burning accentuates the taste if all other is gotten right.

I didn’t say they are compulsory, they make my stock richer. Caterers use “safe“ seasonings for their stock too. So, they are not so “dispensible”.

What is white pepper? huh
The secret to Nigerian party jollof rice is not in that list. The secret is firewood.

More like it and better arrangement in the US than what obtains here where a MOPOL is attached to the president's family and is busy drawing up guns at little provocation cheesy
Well, at the moment we don't know who fired the shots. Some say that it was the security guards attached to the First Lady, while others say that it was the security guards attached to the personal assistant. But which ever it was, it's actually the same arrangement.

1) There are special military units that guard both presidents.

2) The primary guards are provided by civilian institutions. The SSS in Nigeria and the Secret Service in the US.

3) There are also policemen that provide security for both heads of state.

Except you can point out the difference in the arrangement

bigtt76:
Not withstanding the fact the wife of the president is not an elected officer, the presidential guards are entitled to being secured due to the exposure from their husband or father being an elected officer.

The role of the presidential guards brigade is too elite or technical while using the DSS may be too over the top to serve as immediate bodyguard or ADC. Special agents trained in that role should be used and their role should straddle both the military and civil areas similar to the US Special Agents (they're not from FBI or CIA or the Military).

The problem however is the overbearing attitude of these guards. A Major guarding a president may end up being more powerful than the Chief of Army Staff sef cheesy
1) It's the job of the Brigade of Guards to protect the president and his family.

2) However, the first lady does not have a Brigade of Guards ADC because she is not a member of the military (the president is the Commander in Chief).

3) What you are trying to get at is the screening that's done for presidential guards and the processes that are involved in guarding the first family. The screening ensures that the guards are loyal, so that they do not compromise the first family's security after they finish their tour of duty.

They processes are designed in such a way that they change, so that a former guard would not know what changes have been made after he left the position and he won't be able to compromise the first family's security.

4) The US Secret Service actually has other roles apart from protecting the president. The Secret Service is actually like the US' version of the EFCC. Their original job is to fight financial crimes. However, they were assigned the task of guarding the president and other senior government officials after President William McKinley was killed in the early 1900s (I believe it was in 1901)

5) Some former presidential guards actually return to the job of fighting financial crimes after their tour of duty at the White House has ended.

6) The US also has special military units that guard or provide services to the president and the first family.

I see him projecting Micheal Jackson in those photos. Micheal and Han Solo grin
You should see his interview on the Bala Miller Show in 1983. You should see what he wore. That was the day that he did his best to imitate Michael Jackson, right down to the sunshades.

Wow!

Chris Okotie "Fine Mama"! Reminds me of the Gold De Kanterbrau advert.

1-2-3 go
Fine Mama too fine!
Fine Mama too fine!
She's just too fine!

And here comes the end

Reggae dee reggae dee!

Wow!

It's weird that there are so many videos of Kris Okotie's songs on YouTube, but his 2 biggest hits are not on YouTube. I have searched for more than 12 years and I have never found "I Need Someone" or "Goodbye Teacher" on YouTube.

This (below) is his biggest hit that's on YouTube.

This song will forever remind me of the Gold de Kanterbrau advert. I can still see the beer mugs dancing grin

This is a momentous occasion! It is an epoch making event! Wow!


This is the song that I have written about on this thread countless times. This is the song that I have been searching for! I couldn't remember its name and I couldn't remember if it was by Kris Okotie or Jide Obi, but this is the song! This is the song!

Unfortunately the video doesn't get to the end of the song, but I don't care. This is the song!
