You're right, we call it Senegal bread...mum and Dad used to buy this a lot, has no sugar and no yeast. I just about now forgot the name of the butter dad buys with it (it's in papar wrap) ....nostalgic 80s cool cool cool cool
You're right there. Yeah, that's butter. The common ones we have around like blue band& co is margarine.

hehe bro am just experimenting. That chicken and waffles is trash. Am back to amala and ewedu 🀣🀣 it’s only right as a son of the soil that I indulge in Amala and ewedu πŸ˜… . Trust you are well. It’s being purgatory here in naija for the past week bro. Madness . Hot, no light, Naira crashing, food expensive like gold , gas as expensive as diamond. Just madness bro . But God pass dem πŸ˜€
I'm doing great Sukkot. Thanks for asking.

Yes! Amala, ewedu plus gbegiri (abula) (or ikokore as an Ijebu Prince that you are) repping on the street level. grin

Back in the day before the 1970s to 1981 oil boom era, folks in Naija didn't gravitate much towards corned beef, sausages, cornflakes, Quaker Oats, and other Western foods brought to Africa. They satisfactorily ate majorly local meals such as ogi, moinmoin, akara, ewa agoyin, eba, iyan and egusi, Ofada rice and ayamase green pepper stew and more produced from ingredients, spices and crops got from their farms and gardens.

Indeed, the news out of Nigeria is horrendous with Nigeria gradually going the way of Venezuela or Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe.
The speculative activities of middlemen and illegal black marketers in the currency markets and the foodstuff space amounts to a huge sabotage which NO decent country worldwide would ever accept. It's a national security risk tbh.


Another major challenge with Nigeria is that Diaspora remittances (which estimates show amounts to 20 billion USD as of 2023) have been disrupted by money transfer apps, and cryptos (such as USDT and Binance).

Now, out of this 20 billion USD remittances, only less than 10 percent (or $2 billion USD) gets to Nigeria and finds it's way to the illegal parallel or black markets. Most Nigerian Diaspora surveyed actually have stopped sending money to their beneficiaries in Nigeria via Western Union and MoneyGram. instead Diasporans use money transfer apps to pay the sender or agent in hard currencies. The money agent then converts the money into Naira by paying into the bank account of the Diasporan or than beficiarie's bank. All these happen within 5minutes on a mobile phone.

lmao ikokore and ojojo. But truly we are suffering in Lagos. Ibadan and Abeokuta are truly where the real Yoruba foods still exist. I follow a couple of you tubers and live vicariously through them as they go up and down Ibadan and Abeokuta sampling the local dishes. They still prepare that original authentic food in those places. Food looks great too. Passes the eyeball test. These ones here in Lagos don't pass the eyeball test. They are very cheap too. Shockingly cheap . A man would do himself a favor if he relocates to a place like Abeokuta . If working remotely of course

Yes indeed, Ogun, Oyo, and Osun States axes are relatively cheap in terms of foodstuffs and housing. It's just like Manchester and other cities located outside London are cheaper. Your area... Lekki Phases 1 and 2, the Lekki Peninsula and environs such as Ikoyi Island and Victoria Island are very expensive tbh. Some folks living in these expensive areas actually get their food supplies from the Lagos mainland food distribution hubs such as Mile 12 food market, and Mushin (Idi Oro plantain market) which is the main hub for plantains brought into Lagos State.

Some of the best Yoruba soups and foods come from the Ekiti, Ondo, and Osun areas. Some of the iconic soups are very rich and tastily made from rare ingredients that are found only in the rural towns of these states, but sometimes cost a lot to make (hence they are only made on special occasions, and some are made with ingredients that are seasonal), so, they are cyclical on the food menu. There are even over 20 different types of soups from ALL the regions of Yorubaland (including Yorubaland in Benin Republic and Togo) and just like you, I follow some of the major food YouTubers as well.

I've learned a lot from these YouTubers and Sisi Yemmie is one of those with crisp videos. Tbh, NO woman can deny me the pleasure of any of the Nigerian and international cuisines by not going into the kitchen. In a worse case scenario, I'll simply turn on my mobile device and read some of the cookbook recipes or watch YouTube for how to make some tasty fried rice and/or authentic smokey Yoruba party jollof rice infused with bay leaves, thyme, curry, pepper, other spices and more. Lol.

I walked up to her and introduced myself. You know she used to live in Birmingham England right ? But yeah these Yoruba stews are something else. I need a local authentic food trip.

A "gastronomic post" it is... Lol grin

Just a quick correction... In my post that you quoted above, I was supposed to type Idi Oro plantain market in Mushin as the cheapest, major hub for plantains in Lagos where some Lekki, Ikoyi Island, and Victoria Island folks get their cheaper plantain supplies from (You can just do a quick Googling to confirm the Idi Oro info). I incorrectly typed another market name.
Kindly note that.

Aha! You met her at the Palms mall? That's awesome. Was it recently you saw her at the shopping mall? Indeed, her trolley(s) would be massively loaded... These A-list food Chefs have made a lot of millions from their food and confectionary business models. She indeed lived in England like you correctly indicated before relocating to Nigeria. She must have been happy to know that you lived in England too as a Diasporan before relocating to Naija. The Ikorodu-born, Lagos indigene, Tolu Erogbogbo (Chef Eros aka the Billionaire Chef) too studied international business at a Uni in the UK but relocated to Nigeria to start his multi-billion Naira food and confectionary business in the 2000s. He has another branch of his food business in California where he has served a lot of high-end American clients with Nigerian fusion cooking.

Indeed, I like Sisi Yemmie's style of crisp video presentation, and it was from her that I learned the "hack" on how smokey party jollof rice is cooked normally in the kitchen without the usual deep burning in a big pot that gives it that party jollof rice smell and flavor. The tomatoes, onion and pepper mix are slightly baked in the oven and blended with an electric blender to create the same smokey effect with the meat or chicken broth, canned tomatoes, bay leaves, and the entire party jollof rice combo). She did say in that video that she and her fam eat party jollof rice at home on a regular day or every day... That's what some folks only get to eat during occasional parties. grin

I just love to learn creative ways of how things are done and that's why I love leisure travel a lot (among other hobbies) just so as not to be cocooned by the pressures of daily living and fossilized thinking.

hehe yeah I need to adopt that style of making jollof if I can be bothered bro. It’s too hot to be cooking. I like to spend 5 minutes max cooking and anything that requires more than 5 minutes I no do oooo 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣. When I saw her was about a year ago to be exact give or take a couple of months. Truthfully I run into all these celebrities everyday. It’s crazy. You are in supermarket running into chinda ( light skin actress ) and Uriel oputa and mofe damijo and lola omotayo etc etc .

Hello Sukkot.

Indeed, I like to work smart too and NOT hard. Lol. If you want to download that Sisi Yemmie's smokey jollof hack video online, simply type: "How I make perfect smokey party Jollof rice without firewood" and voila the 8 mins 37 secs YT vid pops up via Google, you can then make the exact smokey jollof rice without firewoods.

Yes, you meant Monalisa Chinda, RMD, and the rest. The Lekki area is where a lot of them live or hangout.
