Wicked leaders, wicked followers; evil collabo!

I grew up in a Christian household where morning devotion held everyday, including evening prayers on some days. For all the decades of my existence we've been praying for Nigeria and her leaders. That 🤬 don't work. I've wasted over twenty years of prayers on an impossible request, time that'd have been more useful strategizing japa.

I started like you, naïve and ignorantly, no offense, believing in this scam of a country, then I had the eye opening opportunity to experience Nigeria at a very deep level and I can assure you that the country is not going to change anytime soon. Lower your expectations for your own good.

Let me just give you a breakdown of how I make my beans.

* Pick and remove dirt and stones

* Add salt generously and pour boiling hot water over it. Stir for about 10 seconds and drain off. Follow with a cold water rinse once or twice. ( This step is to remove harmful preservatives. You can skip this if you cultivated it yourself or you are sure of the source)

* Put in a pan to parboil, adding about half teaspoon of baking soda ( not baking powder).

* Once it boils well, I do any of the 2 depending on how much time I have at hand:
(a) turn off the gas and leave the pot to stay for
about an hour. Thereafter, proceed to the next step.
(b) proceed to the next step immediately.

* Rinse out the water used for parboiling.

* Put in fresh water and continue cooking, adding baking soda again. Remember to stir occasionally so it cooks uniformly

* Once beans starts getting tender, you can now add salt.

* Adding your other ingredients depends on your style of finishing.

Note:
Baking soda is also called Bicarbonate of soda.

Love800:
Thanks so much.

Love800:
After the first wash with cold water, why parboil again? I thought the first wash has already washed the chemicals away!

Love800:

Which is true, and let's be frank, we can't compete with thailand and brazil...who have the ability to grow far more rice than we ever can, and who can do it all year long (while in Nigeria, we would have to spend billions on a good enough irrigation system to beat them, and billions more to keep it running well enough self)..

But right now, we don't have enough forex to keep on importing. So, let's boost local production and improve transport systems.

It is well my dear

Despite the headline screaming that the cost will reduce, someone with a reduced IQ will still miss it

Sleekfingers:
Must you eat rice ?

nairalanda1:
The problem with opening the border is that domestic rice production is going to fall, meaning more unemployment.

As the year comes to an end, most employers are trying to put a smile on their employees faces by giving out Christmas bonuses.

Yesterday we got rice, oil, seasoning and sachet tomatoes, not to say it’s small but at least it’s something to cover up for some Christmas expenses. Na to go buy chicken remain.

What does your end of year work bonus looks like?

Ps… the picture wasn’t actually what we got at work tho😂😂

gtassure:
Pressure pot is faster, you should try it some time!

Chijeep:
That's optional. If you want to parboil then it's your choice. It'll only reduce the taste of the beans, I hope you get me right

Back as a child, in my primary 5, I had mommy and daddy play with my friend.

Weeks later the girl didn't come to school, they said she was sick.
Omo fear catch me, I thought she was pregnant, I ask one of the oldest boy in our class how to get rid of pregnancy, he was around 12yrs old.

The idiot go bring one yeye grass that I should give the girl to chew and she also need to drink salt water.

Divorced women are a big TABOO!

They should be AVOIDED like politicians avoid the truth.

It's either they are so HORRIBLE that a man who spent money on TRADITIONAL and CHURCH marriage could no longer put up with them.
And divorced men? What adjective should we use to qualify them?

Or

They are so STUPID that made the CHOICE to marry a TERRIBLE man. In other words, they did not see, or saw and chose to ignore, RED FLAGS throughout the dating and courtship phase until they got hitched to a bad man.

Either way, DIVORCED women are BAD news!

DeepSight:
Actually, harsh cold weather promotes development and civilization, not comfortable warm weather. Geography also plays a role.

There was a robust discussion on this years ago. Have a peep -
