Akposy:
Appreciation Post

I want to sincerely thank you all for my culinary progress. I owe over 90% of my food making/photo progress to this page.

I remember how i started here #shy. This group and its tenants spurred me. You guys spurred me to attend a culinary school, to improve on myself and many others things.

Permit me to use this opportunity to thank Madam Cococandy and every other person for the gifts I've gotten here. They were just the morales I needed to take a huge step. God bless you all.

I wish everybody here elevation. We can always do better than our present (a big no to mediocrity). I'm sorry for every time I've failed to drop a requested recipe; i try but life is hard and i get distracted/forget...make una darijimi bikonu.
Thanks for your understanding.

...before I go, make una patronize me o. I sell homemade/custom made spices (suya, curry, ginger, garlic, proteìn powder, etc). I also make different flavoured pap. I can also be your personal shopper (both processed and unprocessed). I also teach/guide at a very very affordable price. Please don't air me. You can always mention me (here or on an old thread) if you need any of my services. My PM is not that active so i might miss your messages.
Good night.

Wow this is great, Chef Akposy
Keep going higher. Those who yab/beef you those time never knew them help you clear road for success.
Don't be afraid of failure or criticism, they help you grow and develop when you improve on them.


Wishing you lots of great achievements!

Lol.. you just catapulted my memory straight to my growing up days in Yobe. Any day my mom prepared that salad eh, the almajiris are sure to get my portion

If you know you know. Growing up was fun gaskiya. This brings back sweet childhood memories.

A plate of local salad.

Tried out some suya at home!

good night

There is nothing wrong with the word 'local' as you presented. Local means indigenous. If someone calls something local, they mean it's origins are from the geographical location the writer or speaker is writing or speaking from.
So, calling that food "local salad" only means that it is styled and prepared using indigenous ingredients and methods.
Cheers.

Don't know why this is being debated at all.
I eat salad made by things cultivated where I live
Should they start calling it local salad too? (Which place or country don't source their ingredients locally anyway) They call it salad.

Prefixes used are the ingredients used to make such salad eg cucumber salad, You guys should stop embarrassing us with I know it all attitude. We show this thread to non Nigerians proudly.
Wonder why ofada stew is not called local stew or do you think its only in Nigeria u see ofada stew? All west African countries prepare okro soup. Wonder why they don't use the term "local" to bring it home.
How will some of you know when you see them come out boadly trying to justify blind and illogical arguments.
Imagine" local salad" what a name to give that beautiful salad I saw up there. I have a popular Nigerian cookbook and it has salad like that one up there. The name wasn't local salad.

Here is not just posting refined food pictures but learning.

There are things you don't associate food with and it's local. Go and learn. You can never hear this from a chef. You may hear Nigerian stew, Nigerian jollof rice but local. Gosh, that's gross.

So please don't ever try to educate me on subject I know very well to stroke some people's ego.
Thank you.
Won't respond to this again as it's waste of my precious time.
Justifying in born inferiority complex we battle with everyday. Forum that derive joy in attack rather than research.

Guy rest abeg!

People posting food here do not owe U any obligation to name their food after whatever u think makes u feel good in the presence of Ur "non Nigerian" friends.

First and foremost We are Nigerians posting on a Nigerian blog sharing whatever we prepare in our kitchen with our fellow Nigerians. Nigerians use words like "local rice" to let u know the rice they are referring to is the rice grown in Nigeria and not the imported Thai Parboiled that is common to us all; Nigerians say "native jollof rice" to make u know the jollof rice being referred to is one that has native ingridients like locust beans, dried fish, palm oil, scent leaf etc.

This in no way implies those words are derogatory and do not convey such meanings to the person being addressed. For example when u asked holycon what she posted and she said it's "local salad" almost all of us understood what she meant and didn't see any attempt at belittling our own delicacies in her post. (She even added a laughing emoji in that post)....Nobody is embarrassing anybody by calling their food a name everyone can easily relate with.

You are the one who needs to drop this Ur newly found political correctness at the doorstep of this thread and pick it when u are done viewing/commenting on food posts.

Nairaland just does not have enough emojis ive been laughing so hard. I guess the person offended by the word local is actually the one with the inferiority complex

Omo... you need to chill. The inborn inferiority complex you spoke about is actually something you have a serious issue with. Settle yourself.
Your ego won't allow you learn something new. "Local" is not a negative word. That you mentioned chef and whatsoever in the quoted response wouldn't make it a negative word. If the salad is called local, then I understand it to mean its ingredients and style originates from here. If a meal has indigenous ingredients but foreign preparatory style, then its not local.

Grow up. No be everything be fight.

Well said! The guy has issues with inferiority complex.

Descerado is not a guy pls. So you guys should chill mabinu.

Also I wasn’t trying to have a debate. I was trying to make conversation with her like we usually do on this thread. Make una no let the thing turn to four pages of back and forth.

Alright. I had no personally issues with her, I was just not cool with the way she kept on insisting the whole "local" tag is embarrassing us as a people.

It is all fine sha.

Cornflakes with red apple for breakfast.
It actually tastes nice

BlueRayDick:


I'm really happy for u considering how well u are doing for Urself.

I remember at a time when some trolls tried to get at u with the ẹwà agoyin u posted and u took some time off to detox. I like how u've turn all the negative energy in this social media space to something that's spurred u on to even do better then u could've ever imagined.

Keep doing u bro! U dey motivate some of us that were naturally lazy before Ur posts, cococandy's, prestonn's, mariah's, poco's etc ginger us too to cook once in a while.

Thanks Huncle Dickson. I sincerely appreciate. They were the cornerstones
