erico2k2: wow that's so go ne, I don't think there are any of those woods left, in the wild, these are woods used to make window and door frames from back in the days They can also be used to smoke food (e.g., jollof rice, moi-moi, ofe akwu). That’s my attraction to it. It’s all about the food with me. |

Food › Re: Nigerians And Jollof - Representing Nairaland With My Nigerian Jollof In Canada by Probz(m): 7:09pm On May 08, 2025 |
McStoic: US is light years ahead of every other nation on earth in terms of human development, opportunities, diversity of human race, in short over all achievements and it's the melting pot of the world. US citizens are more liberal than Canadians. Even Nigerians who live in US are more generous than those in Canada. Canada is still under Britain (Queen Elizabeth owns a lot of Canadian lands) to an extent, USA is a totally sovereign country. The list goes on..
USA is a country you can stay in and still get almost exact feel of almost every country in the world. Every country of the world have their people in the USA as immigrants. Go to Louisiana and Maine for instance, you will feel like you are in France and parts of Canada especially Quebec... California, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Colorado etc will give you the same Spanish feel as you would find in Spanish speaking countries.
Come to New England such as New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts etc, you will feel English presence. Hawaii gives you Japanese presence. New York and the likes will give the Italian feel, there are even places called Little Italy in Manhattan, New York, Chicago Illinois, Boston, San Francisco, St Louis etc.. There are also over 40 something Chinatowns scattered all over US cities for Chinese feel..Holland, Germany, Russia, Canada and much more countries have their annexes in US...
From my own side, Houston Texas is the city with highest population of Igbos in the United States. Aside that, blacks are so much in Texas as a whole.. I am sure no one feels bored in the US like they would feel in some parts of Canada. Once you set your foot into the US, you can hardly be deported unless you have committed a crime etc. US citizens are more real. They don't pretend as Canadians. US citizens are more friendly, more informed and more exposed. They are even wealthier than Canadians et al
Continuing, USA are the friends of Israel and uphold the freedom of the modern world. Without them, terrorists and enemies of freedom will run over the world. The world under US can never be enjoyable and full of liberty as when pretenders like Russia and China maybe succeed in having the same status as world police, God forbid though! US has seen wars and is still united. US population is over 300 million people; still not saturated and is taking more. She is still able to care for her citizens food, shelter, health etc and give out to the less privileged nations.. Canada is the second largest country in the world by landmass but her populations is only 30 something million people. Canadian still has a long catch up to do before she can be seen in equal light as US. She still has challenges USA has surpassed eons ago to navigate.
From the religion angle, US is a Christian state. Yet is also welcoming to all religions and even those who seek to destroy her. In short, Southern US states of Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama etc are called the Bible Belt if America. These places have over 50 to 70 percent of strong and high Christian views and church attendance. Nashville Tennessee is home to gospel music of the world. Racism exists everywhere, but US is most tolerant of other races. What you cannot achieve in the US, you may have a hard time achieving elsewhere. She is a land of unlimited opportunities. USA is damn exciting!!
Last but not the least, cos I cannot exhaust them here, the US dollar is more valuable than Canadian dollar. Any progressive and informed person will choose the US over others. Let me stop here for now.. But guns and Trump make America a dumpster-fire. And American soaps are lame AF. |

pocohantas: There is no specific age once you are old enough. No one size fits all as our lives and paths are different. I recommend when you find someone who shares same marriage and family values with you. You two must be ready to fund these values, emotionally, physically and financially.
For a set of people who tend to despise their spouses, Nigerians are so obsessed with WHEN, rather than the quality of their marriages.
Marriage is not just something you tick from your bucket list. Tell me about it. Especially boomers. |

frozen70: One of the problem with fried rice is that, carrot and curry doesn't cooperate with each other
So prepare your veggies separately and when you want to serve get rice from the pot get veggies from its pot combine on another pot and serve from that pot
By so doing they will not meet each other till day break and in the morning you warm both separately and mix all together if you are very sure you will finish it immediately Thanks. |
