BLOODYSPERM:
Now I know you are emasculated by Femcentrism

I doubt your manliness

My manliness is in greater evidence in my day-to-day life than it probably is in yours. Keep throwing tantrums with people who subtly disagree with you.

JESHAL:
But divorce-rape progressive laws will serve black people right

Okay.

JESHAL:
Ok
Go back to your bluepilled reality

The red pill’s bad for all of us as black people regardless.

JESHAL:
That's reality

The sooner you accept the better life's outcome for you

My life’s going well enough as it is.

JESHAL:
That's what Femcentrism, feminization, gynocentrism and Feminism of the Western world, mainstream media,and Social media want us in Africa to think

Whatever.

JESHAL:
Women should focus on their strengths not Men's strength

It’s not as if all women are the same. Likewise for men.

“Wives, submit to your husbands.”

That’s not for women to be submissive to every male. Just the one she’s married to. Simple as that.

Csami:
With pepper and oil abi

What sort of rice can you cook without pepper and oil?

Email me if you want a professional response.

With a surname like that she’s of middle-belt extraction at least.

dawnomike:
Better to parboil it... The reason for parboiling your rice is simply to avoid a caked rice when cold after cooking. Parboiling your rice also help remove some excess starch.

You don’t think washing the rice thoroughly removes most of the excess starch?

Do you partially pre-cook your rice before making jollof or do you just wash/soak it?

Either add ogbono or cut the okra smaller (the smaller you chop them, the more the soup draws).

Anyone?

When I do add white Maggi it’s directly to the meat stock.

Explain your jollof rice process...

Ingredients:

Long grain parboiled rice
Dried thyme and Nigerian curry powder (Ducros)
Bay leaves
All purpose seasoning
Groundnut oil
Tinned plum tomatoes
Tin of De Rica tomato paste
Sweet pointed long red peppers/tatashe
Mixed green and red chillies
Scotch bonnet/ata rodo
Mixed peas and sweetcorn
White pepper
Knorr (both normal and chicken-flavoured)
Shallots
Fresh ginger
Red onions
Jollof rice seasoning
Turmeric
Plantain
Goat meat/turkey/African chicken (hen)

Accessories:

Aluminium foil

Preparation:

1. Marinate the turkey and chicken with white Maggi, white pepper, allspice, cumin, turmeric, all purpose seasoning and Knorr chicken cubes and the goat meat with the same except Knorr chicken (use regular Knorr beef flavour for goat) for 24 hours. Don’t use turmeric on the goat meat either.
2. Fry the plantain in groundnut oil with one onion. Discard the oil or save it for more plantain-frying (don’t use it to fry the meat/stew).
3. Blend the pepper/onion/tomato mix with ata rodo and shallots.
4. Sieve the water out of the pepper and use it as water to cook all the meats (cook the turkey and chicken in one pot, goat in the other). Add water if the liquid’s under the contents of the meat. Keep the stock once the meat’s cooked.
5. Boil the pepper till it dries.
6. Fry the goat meat and half of the turkey in groundnut oil with chunks of onion (let the chunks of onion burn).
7. Discard the chunks of onion, add sliced onion and fry with turmeric, curry, allspice, white Maggi, cumin and all purpose seasoning.
8. Mix the De Rica with hot water till it’s smooth, add the fry-up and keep cooking till the water dries and it loses its sour taste.
9. Add the boiled pepper mix to the stew and fry on low to medium heat for 45 minutes/an hour. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.
10. Wash the rice in lukewarm water until the water turns completely clear. Drain out the water.
11. Drain some of the excess oil from the stew, scoop some of the stew out, add meat stock and let it boil.
12. Add the rice and make sure it’s at the same level as the liquid. Add bay leaves. Cook with foil paper for an hour and ten minutes (stirring every 20 minutes).
13. Let it cool and serve.

mariahAngel:
Do you add bay leaves to your jollof rice?

I do.

mariahAngel:
I don't think it'll have any "negative" effect on the rice.
I believe that is what most of these eateries use.

Any other jollof rice hacks you have out of interest?

mariahAngel:
For delicious jollof rice, use knorr chicken cubes.
Also, if you want a deep red colour jollof, blend your fresh tomatoes with tatase, sombo, and also use tomato paste while frying your jollof stew.

I wasn’t uncertain about what needs to be done as far as taste goes. Just wasn’t sure if white Maggi has a negative effect on the rice colour or not.

Is there a way to do this that doesn’t de-colourise the jollof rice or is white Maggi a no-no if you want the jollof rice colour to pop?

It’s often stated on these forums in particular but is there any credence to the notion that Owere people in particular are somewhat more Yoruba-like in certain ways than their counterparts?

Pecuman:
Igbo bu Igbo

They are all real Igbos and no one is more Igbo than the other

Not exactly.

RedboneSmith:
Many of the points here are ridiculous or just simply wrong. Some of them.


4. There is nothing like purest igbo. Missionaries in Sierra Leone assumed (wrongly) that Isuama was the purest Igbo and origin of all Igbo people because the Igbo recaptives in Sierra Leone used a form of Isuama as their lingua franca.

5. There's no statistical data available on the distribution of lightskin in Igboland. This is purely conjectural on your part, or at best anecdotal.

6. Same as 5. Conjecture.

10. Ibo Lele has nothing to do with Elele. Ibo Lele is a name of a Haitian spirit (or lwa as it is known in Haiti) which was developed there by Igbo slaves.

11. False. These so called 'Israelite' practices are common throughout Nigeria and West Africa.

13. Some Igbo groups didn't have New Yam Festivals. In contemporary times, it has been elevated to the level of an all-Igbo event, but it was not always so.

14. This is a strange assertion. People on the Eastern periphery of Igboland are stereotyped as being shorter on average than most other Igbo groups, but here you claim they are taller. Whence did you obtain this claim?

15. Some colonial sources made this claim. Is it true though? Any data on this?

16. So not true. The Anglican communiom began evangelism in Onitsha environs earlier than Catholics, and had won converts before Catholicism came. On the Eastern axis, Presbyterianism also began winning converts before Catholicism came.

It would have been more correct to say Catholicism is/was the biggest Christian denomination among Igbos.

And what would you say the number of Catholics to others is in Igboland on a state-by-state basis?

bigfrancis21:
Yup. Very.

You ever watched That’s So Raven since you’re in America now?

It's as real as your daylight. Spiritual things are as real as anything.

If not more tangible.

As it says in the title. Do you or don’t you?
