In the 90s, rice wasn’t a common food and stood as a food of affluent cos many parents didn't have the financial power to afford eating it 3 or 4 times a week. Nowadays, rice is such a common food such that it can be eaten 2 times daily. The commonness has made it to lose its Sunday Sunday value and taste.
You are absolutely right. But though it was a food for the affluent, growing up in the 90s in the north, apart from being food for the affluent it was seen a a meal for special occasions. Birthdays and festivities. During Christmas or Muslim festivities, it was usually rice galore with soft drinks. So we usually looked forward to festivities year to year. The intervals in timing back then was what made it special. However today it has become so common. Rice is eaten everyday in some families and soft drinks are consumed on a daily basis.

Every one typed sensibly until you brought in your tribalism. If other tribes start tribalism, you will be the first to start your usual victimhood.

Growing up in the 80's ND 90's it was almost a sin for your mother not to serve the family the special and week long awaited delicacies of a Sunday rice.. it got so customary that your child will cry if you dnt follow up with this tradition.

It was so addictive that it got even Christmas involved that Christmas must b a rice eating holiday... Now, with the advent of new ideology led mother's ND facing very harsh economy, I want to know from our various new families, do wives keep to this long standing tradition?
grin

We dey live alone now my bro.

Na u come from a very poor background now😂

Rice for derica is not even upto #50 and yet you said you can't afford it

So how did most homes now develop the culture of Sunday rice??

The thing was our mothers believed in stockpiling our stomachs much not rice that would quickly digest in their opinion
Re: Do This Day's Mother's Still Maintain Sunday Rice Tradition? by judewrites: 3:10pm On Apr 08
Rice is and remains a staple food among many Nigerian households, especially on sundays...we don chop rice pass many countries grin

If you say chicken was luxury I would have agreed cus it’s during festive period we get the live chicken or turnkey
But normally rice and Titus fish on a Sunday wasn’t luxury.
We were even staying in a one room before we moved to a room and parlor
There are people in the 80s who only ate rice twice of thrice in the year. Do you think it was easy buying buying rice and Titus fish in the 80s? I'm not sure you are up to 40 years of age. I'm talking about the era of Uncle Ben's rice. Chicken was never a luxury because we always have local chickens.

they do cook rice every other days like oil rice.

That Sunday rice and stew was a special one. Some family even use chicken every Sunday. Others use fish and beef
I'm not sure you were born in the 70s/80s. Do you know Uncle Ben's rice?

Funny enough I am
Or I would say my dad sacrificed a lot to give us the good life as kids
But he kept saying I’m giving you people the life of rich kids.
The amusement park things in lagos , the Mr bigs treats
The weekend local matches in onikan stadium
The bar beach things etc
Few I can remember
But I would say we were on the button of the middle class.
The bread and tea in the morning before school , oats and milk , custard etc for breakfast
We only get the live chickens on festive season
It basically fish , meat, egg and pork.

Let me say you were/are lucky. Not everybody enjoyed such luxury. Even till now, rice is still a luxury to some people in Nigeria. People still sell their votes in this 21st century because of few rubbers of rice 🤥

The reason is because rice was a luxury in those days. Especially Uncle Ben's rice. Some people in the village couldn't eat rice more than twice or trice in a year (Christmas and Easter periods). There were families who could only afford to cook rice once in a week which is mostly on Sundays. But things have changed today. People can eat rice everyday or anytime they like because it is no more a luxury to them.
Yet people will tell you the economy is worse today than in those days when rice was too expensive for the masses.

Even meat back then was 1 or 2 small pieces a plate.

Nothing like all this "assorted meats" wey go full plate, unless you were among the super rich.

We ate rice most mornings on weekdays growing up that rice on Sunday afternoon wouldn't matter to us except that sometimes, it comes with chicken as against the regular beef.

I'd rather not talk about that one, I don't have the energy for arguments.
