Crixina: i agree wit ur post,but nt wit the part that says calabar roast their fufu,we dnt,i can tel u da process frm when the cassava is brot frm the farm,till when it is served for lunch with hot 'afang or edikanikong soup'but let me spare u da details by just saying we stir the paste in a pot after mixing with a moderate quantity of water,kind of like stirring ur semovita.
Yeah, you right about that. . . Infact, the calabar method of stairing it in a hot pot is the widely used method, that was what I referred to as roasting. . Lol. .dont mind my lack of proper description jare. And like I said, easterners have got way more array of soups to eat their fufu than ghanaians-from the mainstream Igbo soups to the mainstream calabar soups like you mentioned already (afang and oha soup are my favourite soup for fufu) not to talk of those other kalabari and midwest soups.
If there is one thing nobody can take away from the peoples of the eastern region, it is their array of soups and cooked foods.
PoliticsRe: Private-Jet Owners Barred From Carrying Friends And Associates by rhymz(m): 12:54pm On May 06, 2013
A few years ago, there were reports about how Oyedepo was planning to float a company, Diamond airlines and all that crap these crooks do in the name of God, nobody questioned the legality of doing such. If you are not familiar with the racketeering that goes on in the Nigerian aviation please don't come up here to spew sentimental bullcrap.
More than 70% of Nigerian owned aircraft are not registered with the NCAA for reasons that are to some extent dubious and frivolous, most of them are registered in SA and the U.S. As if that is not enough, they give these jets that are supposed to be "private" to airline operators for commercial uses while dodging away from taxes. Little wonder clerical rogues like Oyedepo saw the need to get four of them, he was busy doing business with them and profiteering by circumventing the weak aviation laws of Nigeria, yet these are the rogues that stand on the pulpit to talk about God and honesty yet non of his four jets are registered with NCAA. Now that the ministry has decided to take decisive steps to deal with them, them wan begin run mouth. . .

GH Swagg: About the bolded... My brother don't even go there ooo! That one no be true!

Have you ever beaten your finger eating your soup? I guess not. Try our fufu soups and see what would happen cheesy
hahahahah. . . Trust me dude, Fufu is a general term for Akpu, in Nigeria only Igbos call it Akpu, it is also popular with calabar people and they probably have a name for it as well but in general terms, it is reffered to as Fufu. Go and ask Ghananaians that have tasted our soups, trust me, Ghana soups come a distant behind in comparison. Go to NL food section and see some of our soups, there is a reason many of them are mainstream and cut across tribes in Nigeria.

GH Swagg: My friend what you just described are two different foods. One is called fufu and the other akpu. You have tasted both and confirmed that they are not the same in terms of texture and taste. You made it clear that what Ghanaians call fufu doesn't taste and feel like akpu. So it makes sense that they have different names.

So since Nigerians don’t eat what Ghanaians call fufu and Ghanaians don’t eat what Nigerians call akpu, can we just agree that fufu is distinctively Ghanaian while akpu is Nigerian? I’ll love to one day try akpu smiley

And what is posted on Wikipedia is about fufu not akpu LOL!
so in order words, all ghanaian fufu taste alike, even the ones made from plantain abi?
Guy, lets not turn english on its head, what we are saying is that the varient we eat here even though may be generally known as fufu but it has nothing to do with Ghana or borrows its origin from Ghana. Fufu as it is reffered to in Ghana and every other part of west Africa is not tied to any one tuber semi-solid paste, it is a general term used to describe them unlike in Nigeria where it solely describes akpu. No nigerian can mistake Akpu with those other varients they still call fufu, yet they all known as fufu.

londoner: Seriously.....what do ghanaians think other Africans have been doing with their cassava or yam all these years?

What do they think Nigerians have been eating with their wide array of soups all along?

What do you think other Africans have been using their pestle and mortar to pound all these years?

We have been eating it with akpu (fufu),eba, amala, pounded yam etc.


You did not invent fufu or fufu type food, the word fufu may have originated from an Akan word (which by the way is not just in Ghana), but the food itself has been a general African staple..........wikipedia or any other website can not tell me they came to that conclusion with any evidence at all.

In Igboland it is not called fufu, but Akpu....an Igbo word.
My sister you could'nt have said it any better o. . . i am realy surprised at the general level of ignorance shown especially by Nigerians on this thread. Akpu that is a common staple na alaigbo and eaten with soups, some of which I doubt non-easterners have even seen before, na im Ghanaianians come here dey claim say they invent or we copied it from them. . Lol. . Wetin person no go hear from My Ghana coleagues sef. This one sef one turn to azonto? Tomorrow sef dem go begin tell us say mmai ngwo, ugba, Abacha, nkwobi and the likes na ghana food. How we even take sure say dem never claim eba or garri as Ghanaian food. And some dude dey hear dey shout wiki wiki, forgetting wiki is an open source website, I can tell the whole world on wiki that I am smarter than Eistein and wiki go just bone up and still paste my delusions, does not change the facts any eeediots can be anything on wiki, no serious scholar take information on wiki seriously cos it is an open source site for every tom dike and Akrika.
CelebritiesRe: Keri Hilson Makes A Bowl Of Fufu (photo) by rhymz(m): 12:33am On May 06, 2013
Let's get something straight here: Fufu is not Ghanaian or has its origin in Ghana. I am Igbo and know that fufu inlike highlife is a cultural thing in my place, it has existed way before Ghana or Nigeria were known as countries, it is like somebody saying pounded yam is Ghanaian.
In Igbo land we don't even call it fufu, we call it Akpu japu, and we prepare it very differently from those varient I see ghanaians eat, ours is strictly done with cassava, aint no such thing as plantain or Yam fufu, strictly japu (cassava).
Ghanaians generally call sticky pastes made from tuber plants and plantain fufu which to me is very different from ours, so no need to make claims that have very obvious differences, the only thing they can make claim to is probably the name fufu, we actually do not call it fufu but Akpu and am sure calabar people have their own name for it as well. But to claim that we learnt it or stole the art from you guyz is to push the boundaries of ignorance, no Igbo man or easterner learnt the art of eating or making fufu or Akpu from any external source let alone from Ghana, that food is as cultural and customary to Igbos like the breaking of kolanuts for after prayers or to entertain visitors. So you all can stop arrogating it to yourselves.

Kajina: Yes my sis I'm Ghanaian. In Ghana we have different types of fufu, but I'll rather keep the recipes secret since some folks are now claiming it grin grin grin cheesy

The most common combination is Cassava and plantain. Check the following for the process:

yeah right. . . Wait until you see real Nigerian fufu or Akpu. Trust me Ghanaians don't eat Fufu better than Igbos or Calabar ppl. It is a common staple associated with them in Nigeria. We dont use plantain or whatever, strictly cassava. And igbos do it quite differently from Calabar that roast theirs. We have the best soups for fufu than ghanaians trust me on that.

torgbe: nah,jux wanna have fun on da thread,bt have u confirmed da origin...GHANAIAN CREATIVITY
Ghanaians and their knack to claim everything, scheeew. Fufu is not ghanaian neither is it Nigerian, it is generally eaten by many people in West African, I doubt Ghanaians eat it more than the Easterners in Nigeria let alone make such preposterous claims. And don't be using wikipedia as a verifiable source, any idiont can post information there and edit it as they want, it does not make their claims true. Fufu does not have its root in Ghana biko. . This is not high-life music or Azonto.

dayokanu: In January go to the bus park in Enugu and see how many people are on their way to the SW either Ibadan or Lagos

Now go to Ibadan bus parks and see how many people going the other way.

Human traffic is always towards the part of prosperity not to poverty thats why there are more queue at the American embassy than the Somalian embassy
hahahah. . . Dayo as usual always sound far-fetched and misinformed. Go to Jibowu, Maza maza, BolaDale parks where one can easily get buses going to the East, my dear the volume of traffic there outweighs the minute crowd going to Ibadan or any part of the SW. . Lol. . May be that is indicative of the fact that outside of Lagos, the real villages are found in your region even though you lots like to first shout and call other regions' towns and suburbs villages, I have been to Ibadan before, apart from that Bodija area, there is nothing there to boast about. And talking about Igbos in poverty is a little strange to the ears of the informed, unlike in many other regions, Igbo has wealth evenly distributed amongst its middle class. Just as we have very many wealthy people in igbo land, so we also have a very visible mid-income earners with very decent standards of living than any other Nigerian region. We don't have those annoying extremes like one finds in the West and North where extremely wealthy people and extremely poor people. What is the need of wealth if it stays in a few hands? Dayo be realistic jor!

PoliticsRe: Jonathan Ready To Forgo Second Term – Presidency by rhymz(m): 11:12am On May 02, 2013
As much as I agree GEJ is an ar$$hoe, the prospect of a Buharl presidency does not augur well with me and many Nigerians. The opposition is not helping matters and giving the purposeful opposition leadership one would have hoped for with the undemocratic manner they keep imposing overused politicians fills my palate with bile. Buhari for instance, is an overused failure, this man has lost three consecutive elections in all his attempt, yet he is being considered as an alternative to GEJ, rubbish!
To be sincere, I believe Jonathan has tried his best but may be we need somebody not neccessarily smarter but with the political will and resolve to tackle Nigeria's problem, I don't believe Buhari can do that either, his past record does not put him in the light of those to be considered as non-partisan or de-tribalized. The man seem like a vindictive person that will dish out justice based on one's tribe, region and support. So if I am not going to give my vote to GEJ, it definitely wont be Desperado Buhari, that is the fact.

bloggernaija: Exaggerate?It seems you have no clue the kind of work and how hard it is to get things done in Lagos. First of all, he has to source for funds to embark on project. Do you think the 10 billion naira a month allocation from FG is even enough to pay the salaries,gratuities and pensions of lagos civil servants.He then has to go to his angry already overtaxed constituency to generate tax revenues.
Then he has to embark on projects bearing in mind that the ones he just completed will be in need of maintenance very soon due to over population, theft,vandalism etc .then he has to do the job(security) of the useless federal government for GEJ .
Fashola's handling of everything from the environment to road construction has been class by itself considering the little resources he has. Lagos budget is less than the budget of the New York City transport department.
You lot like to forget the fact that unlike others, Lagos has a lot of advantages and avenues to make money. Besides, the 10billion monthly allocation from the FG, Lagos has the added advantages and large pool to Tax both formal and informal businesses, something most states can not do, Lagos by Landmass is one of the smallest states second to Bayelsa state so it is easy to have an all-round development impression, compare that to the landmass of Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Rivers, Imo State, Anambra or Cross-Rivers and see how much development they need in comparison. Lagos by virtue of its former status has been the core recipient of most of the FDI and private fundings from Multinationals, we can't all tie every development to Fashola. Unlike in places like Uyo, Owerri, Enugu and Calabar where their developments are largely government driven, Lagos has all the support from these third parties coupled with the huge Monthly amounts from both Tax and FG yet all we see are moderate developmental strides with misplaced elitist projects and huge propaganda work.
Guy, there is nothing you can tell me about Lagos, I live here in Lagos, right here in surulere, Ojuelegba area, this is like the centre part of Lagos.

If anything, BH has succeeded in making Jonathan look like a lameduck with their cowardly attacks of innocent people and propaganda videos like this one that makes claims of attacking an Army barracks to get all that weapon on display, a feat that even al qeada can not achieve so easily. BH is succeeding because northern folks like you, who in an effort to spite Jonathan that you see as the enemy are cutting your own nose.

I will be glad to hear more production plants being set up anywhere in the country. Gradually, local competition will help to further strengthen and shape the automobile market.
You are not getting the point,the economics of scale Mr Fashola is using as basis to set up an auto plant is laughable, if that is the major reason, why not patronize those that are alraedy in the business?? Incase you dont know. Those transport companies are one of his biggest clients, every one of them has an IVM bus in their fleet. it is good to comment about things you know, don't just sit in one corner of Lagos and assume things you cant prove.

PoliticsRe: Lagos State Bus Production Plant In Epe. by rhymz(m): 10:03pm On Apr 30, 2013
1MCN: This is a giant streak and I like it. But however, there are a few things I wish to point out:
1. It doesnt make economic sense for a govt to build or run a venture like a car plant. Govt is a bad businessman everywhere in the world and an auto-factory is not an investment to play polictics with. Unless he wants to build and then sale off.
2. It's true that the Nigerian economic climate isnt perfect now but it's also true that auto-manufacturing is still trying it's best to survive. We havent got enough investment in that area though but Innoson isnt doing badly, you know.
3. Fed govt cannot ban car importation cos our local production is nothing to meet up with demand. The impact of the ban will be a million times worse than fuel subsidy removal.
4. I think he was wrong when he said that patronage of locally-made autos is poor. Am forced to believe from what I see that Innoson is unable to meet his locale demands now! Almost all buses (coaster and minibus) that I see in the whole of SE and SS are IVM. Dont mind my exagggeration, not all, but it's presence is just so much here, especially govt owned buses and even company and private and organisations. There is therefore a market for local manufacturers.
God Bless Nigeria and Nigerians.
Let me correct some misinformation there, Innoson is still having the problem of patronage, the presence of his buses are still minute compared to what would have been if there was a direct government effort to encourage him. Apart from the goverments of Anambra and Enugu in particular, and some occassional purchases from other southeast and south-south private businesses,the bulk of their patronage has come largely from Ghana and Ghana is doing a lot to attract the IVM business man to come set up in Ghana, that is a government that is serious and sincere. The last time the members of the government tour group came to the east and visited his auto plant, he complained about it, he even cited a case where they approached the Abuja Environmental Protection Agency to patronise waste disposal bin manufactured by his company but instead, they choose to import them from Germany. By the way, Innoson plastic company is the largest plastic company in Nigeria and has consistently win the award of being the best plastic company yet EEEdiots in power woulod rather import and pay lip service.

Nigerians some times are hard to understand. Somebody raised a valid argument that everyone seemed to ignore. There are already existing automobile companies in the business of both assembling and manufacture yet we don't see any of these locally produced vehicles in any government fleet. Is it not cynical and insincere to blame the federal government even when it is clear that even they, state government are not supportive of the efforts of already existing local manufacturers. Innoson for instance has tried against all odds to go into the business of manufacturing vehicles, so far, he manufactures mostly the kind of buses used by the Lagos BRT buses, how has the Lagos government supported his effort? So far, the bulk of IVM vehicles are sold in the SouthEastern states, the question is why? I know IVM has a sales outlet somewhere around cele-ijesha-mile 2 roads, why are they not getting support from Mr Fashola if realy he is concerned and sincere about the plight of these people? The whole idea is ridiculous and seemed to be born out of parochial considerations to score cheap political points. how can any serious government go into a heavy duty sect like automobile assembly just so they can serve only the their own transport system? So he will just open an automobile assembly against the already existing ones just so he can assemble BRT buses alone, Dumb, dmub, dumb, dumb. . . and his praise singers are here licking his poo and buttt as usual. Nigerians and their subtle tribalism will never let them see the bigger picture, I bet if innoson was a Yoruba man, there will be no story like this dumb one making the news.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Has Preaching About Hell Reduced In Churches? by rhymz(m): 1:51pm On Apr 30, 2013
salt 1: I wish, for the sake of people like you, that what you wrote is true. You must be right that I'm really dumb but I am yet to see or read about the enlightened discoveries that prove with massive and conclusive evidence that there's no after-life. In fact, I see and read so much that strengthen my belief that these things are real.
Don't worry abt some of us that wish to err on the side of caution. Better to believe and live like there is heaven to gain and die with such hope than to keep denying and die and see that it is real. Better safe than sorry!
Guy shut up jare! You sound like a broken record, what is your proof of hell besides the bullshyte your inconsistent bible claims. Who is Jesus Christ? What did he look like? Do you even know the jewish view of Jesus Christ? Almost similar to the muslims'. Understand the history of Christianity first before blabbing with stoopid confidence of what cant be proven.

Bt d content of both is generally same.
Hp i was of help?
I doubt you know what you are talking about. Cover letters and application letters are basically thesame and they carry both addresses. It is even allowed to state what is it you are applying for in a cover letter as a heading or in bold letters but you must not underline it.
