dried prawn or crayfish are great for Ogbono. fresh shrimp is a no no unless you want to try something new

or just push some melted rubber inside you lip. you can cut baby rubber mouth and glue on too.

i wish it was my sister  yes 95!! na so i see am o. i have had to go around but it seems they all had meetings lol to name same price. all the senegalese ppls. funny one lady asked me to name a price i told her 45 lol she was like 45? i said yes because you asked me to name a price, she shouted what?? lol i said yeah! and she added ''excuse me with attitude  '' i said well 95 for corn row? puleez. she was working at her sister's and from ny. so i said ok i will let u know what i decides and drove off. her sister called me on my way and said her sister whom i met in the salon was crying, that she is tired of having people come in and leave. so she asked me to come do it for like 75. i said will think about it. never went back. ha!! it's too much.

just had a Nigeria lady on campus and she had corn row in attachment. i asked her who did it and where, said another Nigeria lady for 70. i just smile. kind of funny what's going on.

i saw a lady at a flea market she braids. i told her i wanted a shade Adu like style. she said 120. that she will do it for like 7hrs. i was like what? these style i have been doing in the past don't take 3hrs to do. me just leave. i need my bucks to shop for summer lol 

my hair is still in natural state. not that soft, not that hard. i use Pink Oil light on it. i shampoo and condition with Mane and Tail once in 2weeks.
daily, i use pink oil and cover with shower cap before shower. after shower, i just comb it and leave it like that. it looks okay.

still looking for somewhere to braid at a good price. all the saloon i have been to all charging 95 for corn row. the senegal lady who does hair in her home also asked for same amount for plain corn row. nah! won't pay such. so i just comb and leave it. when it's scatter, i just wet my hands and rub my hair and then it soft a bit for combing.

Seun  na wah for your advice 

as a tourist in my motherland?

anyone know Shokoyokoto veggie and Gbure veg?

@ Raheem, quite interesting because i cooked red beans 3 days ago. i added oil, onion and pepper to it. tasted familiar and i was chatting with a friend (who is also looking for recipe for ewa agoyin) that it taste familiar and should try it. i just loved it. 3days ago was my first time to eat red bean for years. the white beans is more common in stores. but i went to an african store, came across the bean. couldn't help myself so i bought it as something different (i always look for something ''different''  )

now am surprise that red bean is used for ewa agoyin. but Al Raheem, no ingredients was added to the recipe posted.
maybe i missed something in my cooking because it tasted familiar but not 100percent like it sha.
e se o.

nah. planning to bake banana bread this weekend o. Just have to go shop for the pan to use.

@poster, have you got the recipes?

abi o davidylan. yeah, they might have brought out that underground thing used on Hiro and Naga

or made latest one to rain on Middle East.

lol. one thing that seems to put me off eating cake was that there will be this raw eggish smell too. i hardly eat cake in Nigeria. i like puff puff more. even the buns too, the yellowish buns got that smell of raw eggs.

so i just focus on the J rice at bday parties.

@ poster you can find info on cake online. just goggle it. and if you can't let us know  also if you got idea how bread is baked in nig, you should be fine i think. you may need alot of charcoal and real hot ashes
