I seriously want to know cos I can't find anyone preparing yam, plaintain, beans or anything that isn't rice for the family....I mean it's been this way for ages. Why do we always go for rice?

E be like say dey never born you when people no dey cook rice except on special occasions

What about pounded yam with nicely cooked stuffed egusi soup?

Rice is just Nigeria's major staple food, that's all

I was in a village on 23rd of Dec. When I saw a woman preparing egusi and yam dat dey will use for christmas, I asked the woman why they are nt cooking rice for christmas, she said they don't have money to buy rice, dat it is expensive, I couldn't believe my ears, I quickly replied the woman that pounded yam and egusi is only eaten during christmas by the rich or average pple in d city. I made her to understand to understand that dey are even enjoying dan dose who lives in d city. Op, I think its a matter of where one lives.. Whether rice or beans or pap... Make we sha eat

Simply because of the variants you can get from rice.

[color=Blue]Everyone eats rice on Christmas Day? How would you know what EVERYONE ate on Christmas Day? Eating rice, which is a common staple diet in most homes on a day of celebration is like, wow.

Myself and my family don't eat rice on Christmas Day.[/color]

I didn't cook rice yesterday, I prepared pounded yam with ogbolor soup.

The rice don do me sef. I made moi-moi joor.

I cooked rice,poundo yam with Egusi and Ognono soup.I ate the poundo sha.

the question should be....why is chicken attached to Christmas? Rice is simply presentable for occasions.

Here, its pounded yam we always go for, at least for the past 10years now.
