Her Yoruba accent strong oo. This one no be lagos breed at all...

That accent is Ọ̀yọ́'s. Mother tongue interference won't allow her speak English peacefully no matter how much she tries.

For those shouting she can't speak English yet, please understand that English language is not a litmus test for intelligence.

squad03:
I guess you were trying to say'the starch content is quite high'.The impression the boldened gives is that the rice is convulsing....or so I naughtily inferred

Could it be the starch though? Your inference is very funny

Short grains

Abakaliki Rice Sure Pass!!

Abakaliki rice is good but it foams a lot while boiling.

duni04:
What rubbish is this? Are you the PA to the provost? Or is this an alternate moniker the provost has created to defend himself?

It is very easy to sit behind a device to spew nonsense.

OBAGADAFFI:
Where did the girl erred here.

She uploaded 7 subjects and ascribed it to digital error during uploading.

duni04:
I'm very disgusted seeing people celebrate the Provost and condemn that girl for "making noise" when I know, with absolute certainty, that there are people with 69% and 65% currently studying 100 level medicine in Ife, a fact which the provost is very much aware of.
A poor girl has just been robbed of admission in a very good school after scoring very high marks and people are here celebrating a man that helped smuggle names in to substitute her name.
Shameful!

You need not be disgusted. She uploaded 7 seven results as against the normal number required. That she came out is indeed impressive and I'd recommend that admission seekers adopt this means from here on out, should they feel cheated.

You need to stop painting a scenario of victimization here. We all know where the mistake came from and what impacted her. It's like going to a GCE Hall to write an exam and you fail to follow all instructions, particularly on the OMR sheet and then you say they should have assisted you because you wrote your name without writing your shading your registration number.

These mistakes are costly. So many people make them yearly and exceptions would mean that a lot of people would ask for the same in the not too distant future.

duni04:
I'm sorry but I'm still not buying these silly excuses from the provost. The provost should come out and disclose how many students in total OAU admitted to study medicine this year.
If truly the girl was 104 on that list, what is the total number of students that were registered for 100 level Medicine and Surgery in OAU this year? How many students is OAU taking on supplementary admission?
Why wasn't her name considered for supplementary admission?
I dare the provost to publish the entire list of admitted students for medicine and surgery this year including all the supplementary lists and the "special candidates" lists. He can blurt out the names. I want to see the breakdown of the scores.

Funny! Ideally, the provost owes no one. His rare character, I believe, led him to clear the air. Asking for the total number of admitted students, he mentioned in the previous thread that hundred students were admitted, meaning she's shy by four.

Again, the provost does not owe anyone any explanation as to how many students were admitted into medicine, neither does he owe anyone explanations as to why the girl didn't make it. I believe you're asking for too much, considering the fact that the institution in question is not just any institution (I'm saying this with all sense of pride). You don't need to play Truth or dare here. The air has been cleared. I'm sure the girl knows she really she erred already. Admission in itself is not a pepper-palm oil, market like scenery. Negotiations are not necessary because they won't fly. Let's applaud the provost for taking time out of his busy schedule to do this.

Idyllic:
The provost is really a very nice man. I believe something will be done about it when she goes to see him.

Truth is, I feel for her but exceptions should not be made, else others would use the same avenue to start pleading for admission. The provost has done what is needed, and that is provide evidence as to why she didn't meet the cut off. On her part, she was thinking her JAMB result and was high enough. Medicine in particular is not a course one would just bend rules just to accommodate. There are many languishing in that faculty, some have crossed to some other departments just because of petty mistakes.

Kudos to the Provost once again.

cyberguy72:
OAU does not recognise Civic Education as a subject.Probably it wasn't used in the calculations. Correct me if am wrong. Abeg check my signature,join the winning group

OAU does not recognize Civic Education. That it showed up on her result means the secondary she attended had a very poor counsellor and the school itself has issues. Civic Education, just as moral education might be necessary but does not necessarily reflect in when schools tend to calculate your score.

I'm proud though. Great Ife

claremont:
No one actually knows the country jollof rice originates from. Do not use wikipedia as a reference, I can go on the same wikipedia you quoted and edit it to say that jollof rice originates from the Tiv tribe in Benue state, Nigeria.

However, I have tasted Gambia jollof rice, and it was awesome.

Except you're just reading up on or know this, quite a handful of persons have been in the know before now. Sengal and The Gambia are thought to those with the best recipes. Wikipedia is written yes, but so many articles litter the cyberspace on this.

There's nothing sweet about tatashe

Tatashe is not as hot as Rodo though. I guess it explains why they call it 'sweet'

Thanks

Thinking of cooking the well assorted fried rice for sunday.

Not just feeling this Christmas

Lol... This Christmas is off key. Shrimps are hard to come by here, even at the malls.

bukatyne:
Is this Jambalaya rice?

That's a well assorted fried rice. Below is a Jambalaya rice.

dboss444:
No wonder e dey quick spoil

This is very funny

Not like it spoils faster. The problem is, the longer you keep it, the more it loses its savour. Fried rice in itself is meant to be crispy and dry, with lesser water presence. The same applies to the vegetables added. Most people tend to mess this up from the very beginning which causes the rice to start losing strength just few hours after being prepared.

Another trick is to not 'warm' it. It doesn't carry much weight as the Jollof rice. A better way of preserving it is to keep it in the refrigerator while the portion to be consumed is to be taken and 'microwaved'.

mikhe2:
banga rice na d height.. op do make u taste banga rice

Is Banga rice that special? It's just on the average to me though. I think why I hate it is due to the fact that I hate watery meals and the preparation of Banga rice cause the rice in itself to retain tons of the oil and water in the palm fruits.

airminem:
What happens when you buy a brand of in the market and after well prepared and eaten, fewer than two hours you find out the remainder of the jellof rice is seriously acting like okra soup?? What sort of rice is that??

Some rice are that way. They absorb so much water that when they become watery when they turn cold. This is common with 'short rice' and people often go for them just because they're slightly cheaper than the longer grains.

mhisbliss:
oh gawd what a dark jollof rice, why is everything about ghana dark, no offense please, before the Ghanaians here come for me

Funny

The 'darkness' of the rice comes from the black pepper they use, compared to ours, wherein we shop for the finest tomato paste brands and tomatoes to achieve ours.

Jollof rice na highest o, op what of banga rice

Banga rice belong to us, the Urhobos. I don't like it though.

fkdmods:
Jollof rice's origin has slave roots. Owners would leave scraps for their slaves and they would gather every and anything they could find and cook it in one big pot. In America it's called jambalaya and very popular in the south to this day were slavery thrived.

Not true. The Jambalaya rice is what a typical Nigerian would call concoction but in a more advanced manner. It is a blend of vegetables and meats, plus shrimps mixed in rice. It is even far more expensive than the hallowed Jollof Rice and they're not all that similar. Jambalaya is not even common in Africa. If you try to compare and contrast on recipes for both, one would discover that Jambalaya is more of meats, vegetables, shrimps and what have you than rice in itself.

Ishilove:
Scotch bonnet pepper is tatashe, right?

Scotch bonnet is a cousin to the Habanero (Rodo). The difference is that the Scotch bonnet is slightly sweeter. In terms of availability, the Habanero is much more common while the Scotch is rare.

Tatashe is called Capsicum annuum or just fruited sweet pepper.

Ishilove:
That's why it is called a 'trending story'. Fake news can trend too. I could make up a story, pick a random photo, post it on a blog and the rest is history. Bogging is a news network with thousands of cells which feed off one another. One copies from the other, the other copies from another and so on. That's how news trend, including fake news.

One clue that gives this particular story away as false is the conversation. The two know each other well, so well that the HIV girl confided in the other person about her status, so why will the HIV girl be so formal when giving out the date of her alleged incursion into town?

Answer: Because it is contrived.

Don't just copy and paste. Ask questions.

Your points are very valid. However, I wouldn't want us to rule out some possibilities here;

1. It could be true after all.
2. They may know one another but the HIV infected lady could well be younger than the other. Hence, the tonality of respect.
3. That she gave a timeline could be as a result of her determination; her resolve to not listen to pleas.
4. From the chat, 'she' seems pleased probably because she has accepted her fate and she's all out to have fun and take as many people as possible.

But then again, the above are just assumptions as to why the chats are in that manner. Bloggers have a way of creating tension and unnecessary panic. However, issues bothering on health and life, either from bloggers unverified sources should not be swept under the carpet.

Deathslater:
Oga shut up? Your are not Igbo . South East is our ancestral home so anything can happen.

And Buhari is your ancestral President, pending when you guys are granted a referendum

You all keep saying this everytime. Should the NA treat these thugs as criminals. You'd come on here write some vague pieces to the Hague. Nonsense and ingredient

Fake fake fake. The 'right' place to move this thread is the trash bin.

You're a blogger and you need to learn how to sniff out fake gist

It could be true, Ishi. A Google search shows so many articles on the name, some even uploaded many of her pictures to back their claim. Here's one: http://campusexposed.com/photos-hiv-positive-girl-sswears-infect-400-guys-dies/

He is still the president of the country and would choose to go anywhere he pleases within Nigeria. I have been praying these people don't do something stupid; something that could impact innocent people.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life

Who do you want to give headies award to ?? Tekno ?? Headies award is meant for non talented noise making kids like Lil Kesh, Small Doctor Reekado Banks and Koredo Bello

Tekno has songs more than Reekado, Lil kesh, tiwa savage, Koredo bello put together

And all his songs are hits

He performed in over 20 countries this year alone, Olamide sef performed in only 2 countries this year, USA and the U.K
Tekno performed all over Europe including Helsinki

This is the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life

Alleluia was a hit

Holiday was a hit

Duro was a hit

Wash was a hit

Dance was a hit

Pana was a hit

Tender was a hit

Diana was a hit

Rara was a hit

Can someone mention any artist that has had hit songs back to back ?? All his songs are hits

What an insult ??

*Spits on headies award

He doesn't have an album yet. No matter how many hit he cooks, he still falls under the category. Headies needs this. 2 Face got to where he is because he is humility personified. Most of the so-called musicians don't get far all because of petty pride.

Afam4eva:
What is it with Nigerian politicians and rice? Why not Beans, Yam or Elubo? Why always Rice?

The other two you mentioned are considered to be very cheap. This has nothing to do with the present scarcity hitting rice though. Not everyone love beans, and even if Ekiti people cherish either amala or Pounded yam, they would still need soup in driving it home. We're a rice-driven people
