Thank you, though not so awesome for some ladies that believe the kitchen is their God given department, and any man that can do what they do there is either a competition, or insulted as effeminate.
Once paused on a relationship with a very beautiful 28yr old lady, who said it was a slap on her face I as a man could cook Ogbono while she couldn't.
Don't need a soothsayer to tell me that's probably the major thing she has to offer, including sex perhaps.
Women- especially Nigerian women should try and outgrow this simple and archaic mentality abeg.
UyaiIncomparabl: Not a big deal. Cooking can be learnt as long as she is teachable, malleable and willing to learn. I will pick someone with a great character over great cooking skills because the latter can be learnt. If she is enrolled in a cooking school and given an intense drill, under a year, she will surpass you even.
Nobody was born a good cook, we all learned and got better through consistent practice. I never was a good cook either because I did not grow up with my mother for the most part of my life. Although, I could cook my traditional cuisines and soups, but it still never matched up. I took it with levity because I was lazy at the time and felt cooking was too overwhelming, so I never bothered to get better.
Over the years, I began to find my poor cooking skills a great concern. I mean, I am from Akwa-Ibom and it is a CURSE in our place to be average in the kitchen. I could not leave myself being stuck with eating JUST soups or traditional foods. It was beginning to be a bore. I enrolled in a cooking school later on and presently, there is nothing I cannot cook so well. I mean, exceedingly well. All kinds of local and international cuisines combined. So, you see? It can be learnt. Quit creating a mountain out of a molehill.
Una just dey give this babe gbasgbos left, right, center for this her post so.
Make una take am jeje na
Well I've always wanted to date and marry an Akwa-Ibomite oh.
Wife material 1000 yards, but I'm not sure if they'll like Yoruba guys sha...
TheWinterBird: During which time? You're older than me, abeg . But I get you . I wouldn't blame social media, though. It's actually the more reason why no one should have any excuse why they can't cook —because of all the information out there. I wouldn't blame their parents either. I think anyone old enough should take the initiative to learn how to cook for themselves, especially if they like to eat, lol. I eat out but there's nothing as satisfying as cooking my own meals. It's really just a matter of using one's common sense and creativity.
Spot on, I remember always cooking rubbish whenever I cooked stew in campus then, and my room mates would mock me.
I could only cook beans, and I luckily got it very right only once, that all my room mate ate of it.
As time went by, I started getting better, until I went through YouTube videos and became a guru.
Right now despite being a male, I can cook very delicious tomato stew, egusi, edikang ikong soup, Ogbono soup, and Ofe 'Nsala, while closing my eyes.
I'm going to perfect Banga during this leave period too.

Kenochi: I said on a similar thread that Nigeria's problem is not Hunger or High Food price,it is our inability to understand that Agriculture(livestock and Aquaculture inclusive) is very very big business This news should be a very big eye opener to all producers of Rice Paddy in Nigeria,and that is the fact that there is a very big market for you in Nigeria The Lagos State Government just informed us that they have the capacity to produce 2 million bags of 50kg Rice in a year,this is enough to make all serious farmers of Rice Paddy form cooperatives,go to the Federal Government and secure funding to grow Rice paddies on a very very large scale because the market and buyer of last resort is available
There is something else that I am really hoping some Aquaculture investors can look at,the price of Imported Frozen food is really getting out of hand.It is an irony of sorts that our locally breed fish such as Catfish,are more cheaper and more nutritious than this frozen nonsense we eat Apart from the smoked catfish,I am really hoping that investors can look at the possibility of processing this fish,is it possible to get the technology to freeze this fish We are a blessed people and Nigerians have no reason to go to bed hungry because all what we need to live well and feed well has been graciously given to us,from the great weather to a fantastic soil we really should be producing enough to eat and export all over Africa
Abeg how much be average sized catfish now sef. E be like say dem dey cheat me for this Lagos oh. Na 2,500 I buy the last one.
Longevo: Too bad. Four and half years in jail. With all the money and fame he has, he could easily have enough girls to satisfy him. Sexual assault is a serious crime. He stooped too low.
It was the same girl he wanted to satisfy him that turned into rape.
I can assure you things just went sour along the line, and it turned in his hands.
In this time and age, and a man of his calibre, it's difficult to go and force yourself on an unwilling woman.
That's why they found another word for it, sexual assault. Things just probably went south between them...
Houseontherock1: If the landlord refuses to renew your tenancy for another year and he gives you quit notice, you can stay in the house for 6 more months to look for another apartment but you will pay for the 6 months. It's better to just look for another place before the one year expires if you have no intention of renewing your rent
slaawomirr: Damnnn niggar You guys should lift it o.. Rest in peace to them

Put me through this life, cos no be life I dey live for here so meen...
What you did not get before packing into a Lagos house will eventually be sorted by you from your pocket.
Next time, if you want them to fix a pipe or put a bulb tell them to do it just before payment or after paying before you move, else you do it yourself.
A out overstaying, consult your lawyer friend again for directions. But whatever the case, make your home conducive and do the necessary.
Damn paint the place and make the fixes for yourself, you don't want to be living like this this. This is home, your main escape from the struggles of life.
Cheers!
As for this, with the way things have gone south, and with her saying "they can refund my money" I doubt she won't convince the landlord not to refuse allowing me to renew my rent.
So it really won't make sense beautifying a house myself, and doing everything for the landlord to enjoy and give another tenant after a year.
They'll meet their house in the exact condition they left it for me.
I'm already saving the money I'll have spent on beautifying the house in dollars.
The necessities is what I'll do, so in a way, they're even helping me to be prudent.
300k for AC money, 60k for painting all saved in dollars.
Houseontherock1: Fix whatever you can afford to fix from your pocket, buy electricity units by yourself and move on with your life because you need some level of peace and comfort in your house. As for the 6 months, it's not rent free...but the landlord can't forcefully eject you till the 6 months lapse. It's bad of the landlord but your lawyer is right- they won't refund your agency and agreement fees. You can take the rest of your money and move on as well
Do you mean I'll still pay the rent after 6months?
Rented a room self contained paying #1.1million, only for the woman that stands for the Landlord to write a receipt of 11months.
I challenged her concerning this and she was saying that is the way the Landlord wants it and that she too rented for someone in the building and that's what everyone got.
I told her it's not done anywhere and after several shouting, she changed it to reflect 12months.
Afterwards there was a pipe in my kitchen they were yet to fix and have been complaining to them gently ever since I came in, that they should fix it, but they were always stalling, until the day they pumped water into the house- cos it's a new house, and the water flooded my room, soaked about a quarter of my 12.5kg bag of rice I was given at work, soaked my books, and spoilt them.
This got me very angry and thundering on them to come and fix it, which they did, but the stupid woman was busy telling me to calm down.
Fast forward to a few days later, my NEPA unit got exhausted and I told the guys to help me buy power cos that's how they always do it, and they kept stalling, despite telling them I got things in my fridge that could get spoilt. I had bought #14,500 goat meat, and cooked it. I couldn't eat more than 2pieces out of it before everything got spoilt.
I told the woman again, and she was telling me to calm down again, after which I blasted her, and she replied me saying I should not talk to her anyhow oh, that how much did I even pay, that they can still refund me oh!
This got me so annoyed I told her to do that, and she was saying I should pack out first!
I told her to out this in writing and she said I must pack out first! I told her I'll be getting my full payment, apart from the 1month I'd spent, inclusive of my agency fees, to which she said I'm joking, that is she my agent? This was despite me sending the money at once into an account. I then made her know that she'll be hearing from my lawyers, which she called my bluff, telling her she got better things to do with her time, and that I should stop disturbing her.
Unfortunately my lawyer friend told me there was actually nothing that could be done, as the agency fees is actually non-refundable and I had to suck it in angrily. I initially decided when I leave, I'll destroy all the tiles in the room, and defecate on the floor and run away, but I realized that could land me in trouble legally.
Now there's a light in my toilet they're yet to put there since I moved in, and have been disturbing them since to come and fix, but till date, 2months after they're still yet to fix it, always dribbling me, waiting until another disaster happens and I change it for them.
I even called the electrician and he was raising his voice on me, that I should call the facility manager.
Called him several times, and he wouldn't pick. This is after they've fixed other people's stuffs in their houses, because those ones gave them extra jobs to do, and they could make some extra cash, thus they've been playing me, and not fixing things I paid my money for in the rent since I moved in.
They have caused me great distress in this house and I decided not to even paint or do anything in the house, but I must also find a way to make them feel pain too.
I have decided to stay beyond my time in the house intentionally, as I got to know Lagos State laws gives one a 6months grace before one is thrown out.
Please people I'll like to know how I can achieve this successfully.
I chose to spend my life savings on this house to make my shuttling to work easier, and make me more effective at it, but all I've got to show is pain and my work suffering as a result.
Please nairaland lawyers help me on how to avenge myself on these wicked people I beg you in the name of God
