Magnetic010:
Kuli Kuli has a terrible PR...was my favourite in primary school until my class teacher discouraged us by saying it was food meant for cows...stopped eating it back then and never got back to it even as a full grown adult now.

The bad PR it got in my hood was that it was made by lepers and handicapped with limbs cut off and therefore unhygienic

Mariangeles:
Donkwa

...or is it dankwa?🤔

Xx

When we were kids, we often used our church offering money to buy Donkwa and Coconut candy. There was also one called Alewa that tempted us quite a bit. We sin as kids because of these things no be small. Despite the allure of these sweet goodies, I still believe nothing can dethrone Kuli-kuli.

Mariangeles:
Coconut candy

This one ehn...

It is ''coconut sweet'' not ''coconut candy''. We don'tv say ''candy'' in Nigeria, we say ''sweet''.

If you say ''coconut candy'', not too many people especially the women who sell it, know what you are talking about. So, it is ''coconut sweet''.

Coconut candy any day, any time.

All Nigerian na common man pikin.

Anybody wey claim say them no know those snacks dey form.
Especially those that grew up in the southwest.

Not true. I nor know anything there apart from coconut candy and Kuli Kuli, the rest looks like native soaps to me. I was a bit confused cos then again I might have seen them being hawked since relocating to Lagos in my later years but I never bothered to ask what they are cos to me na soap dem be. Still don't know what they're nor am I ever going to be interested in knowing.

I didn't eat these snacks much back then because things irritate me easily.

I had this feeling they were prepared in unhygienic places, when my friends were buying I went for well packaged snacks instead. They nicknamed me OYIBO BOY.


Na coconut biscuit, milkose sweet, and chocolate chop my money. As I got older I upgraded to short bread biscuit.

If I tell una wetin I benefit from dat short bread biscuit, anyways somethings are better left unsaid.

Puff Puff, ah God bless you for this

The author of the post that I responded to called it "Coconut Candy". You can call it whatever you like but I refer to it as Coconut Candy.

I don't need your lecture or opinion on "coconut sweet". What do you mean by the statement that we don't say or know coconut candy in Nigeria?

Candy is defined as: "a sugar-based confection, often combined with chocolate, fruits, or nuts, commonly eaten as a sweet snack".

Maybe you should read before you comment!

I recognize and ate all of the items that the op described.

Lols... The teach wasn't completely wrong Sha. But there are nice Kuli Kuli in the markets and supermarkets now.

Magnetic010:
Kuli Kuli has a terrible PR...was my favourite in primary school until my class teacher discouraged us by saying it was [/b]food meant for cows[b]...stopped eating it back then and never got back to it even as a full grown adult now.

The teach may have seen the process of production in the north.

symbianDON:
maybe that teacher was a cow because I have never seen a cow eat kulikuli

Back in the days, thats the nickname of a dude. Gbogbo onje lo ma yinje... Lols

helinues:

But I have never seen a cow eating kuli kuli 😟

Coconut candy is number one, donkwa follows, then kuli kuli.

Why don't you eat such?

AfonjaPriest:
Someone offered me many sisi pelebe.
I collected it and gave everything out to outsiders.
I don't eat such because I am careful about what I eat.

Okpa is one of the best thing to happen in my life.
Been long i ate it because in my town of residence, its hardly sold.

showlove911:
Okpa di oku.....

If okpa is not there....forget it.....

Okpa and abacha single handedly kept many guys frm relocating away frm Enugu

Okpa can comfortably account for reason why up to 2million pple refused leaving enugu....no jokes

Kwo-kwo Nat candle and ojukwu finger

How can handicaps and people who don't have limbs make a product!
And why will a sensible company or human give lepers Kuli kuii to produce!

Your speech is confusing.
