i tire!!

i think my tastes arent the same as the majority of nigerians.

but the song i mentioned in the other thread is ok.

if two people are claiming oshun and waging war against amala and pounded yam , then what do you people eat over there?

una be yoruba so?

is rice your national food?

fhemmy werent you edo some time back.

bawomolo is most likely masquerading as yoruba.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=474328.msg6359097#msg6359097 date=1278700342]No, its not fufu.

I remember eating it a long time ago. i think its made from dried casava.

Black amala is made from dried plantain.[/quote]if it's from cassava then it's probably fufu.

or do you mean lafun? I cant stand that stuff.

wait- there's something else called kuruku from ikale side-maybe that's what you ate. It's made from cassava.



amala is made from yam or plantain flour.

i'm not used to the plantain one since i've rarely had it.

the taste may be different- probably too sweet.

^^i dont know anywhere in yorubaland where amala isnt eaten.

are you sure you're yoruba cos i cant vouch for you.

white amala sounds disgusting.

the stuff has to be dark, imo. Or else it's not amala.

when i first started making amala i got so frustrated when it didnt turn that really dark shiny colour. I'd even add palm oil so it could be smoother and shinier- all to no effect. I later found out i'd been undercooking it. I corrected my mistakes and from then on it was smooth sailing. The people wey eat that my whitish grey amala try sha

what's this white amala? Never heard of it. Do you mean fufu.

Fhemmmy:
That is grossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

am i reading you wrong or are you dissing red pap?  



@ you and bawomolo wey dey "form"

amala is eaten all over the southwest same way tuwo is eaten all over the north and middle belt.

lafun on the other hand, is mainly restricted to ibadan and kwara.

my favorite mika songs


nosa- always pray for you

i watched a Japanese cook on tv the other day and he was explaining how wrapping food in leaves was now a lost art?  Not necessarily o.

it's gone.

Abi na lie

not for your girlfriends and female acquaintances.

justdtruth:
Now i know something apart from football that unite Nigerians = FOOD

in Nigeria, the story is no light, no security, no road, no school, no fuel, and the list goes on

BUT PLEASE, anytime you see NO FOOD, PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DELETE

its good we have something to cheer about abi?

not sure your post makes sense. . .   . . . . . . .stop dreaming.

i already had to take on an i.diot barely two pages back.

and no, i'm not talking about the pounded yam.

^^stop twisting things plz.


anyone is free to follow astrology but no need to start misquoting stuff to fit your own non-Christian views.

Well in my life, I have been thoroughly outclassed [outsmarted] in a quarrel by two just women.  One of them is gay, and both of them are Yoruba, and I will never forget them. Maybe that is why I have these ideas that are not progressive at all; perhaps other Nigerian men are not like that, but I doubt it

yep, yoruba women do tend to be smart, _{and dont hide it}.

Even the uneducated ones still have some level of savvy. call it juju or whatever.

men dont like that.

many of the men would rather you just shake your bum , show your bosom, and keep your mouth closed unless they need a blue job.

^^isnt her husband your brother?

so what's the problem if she's treating him specially in his own house?

una wan kill person with this thread sha!!

The main things that she is after is money because[b] it's very rear to find a guy that possesses all the qualities she mentioned[/b]

things have definitely fallen apart.

nigerian youth is gone.

very sorry case!!!


and see how folks burst their garters over a list which in the olden days wouldnt be a problem AT ALL.

but now that nigeria is officially classified as an illiterate ganja smoking yahoo yahoo 419 country, everything has gone down the drain.

sad!!!

"it's very rare"?

o ma se o.

One fateful Sunday after church service our kid complained of not feeling too well and therefore had to leave the church immediately after service while we waited to attend various meetings at the church.

On getting home she went for a quick shower, took her meal and was ready to sleep (with only the towel wrapped round her waist) then suddenly heard a loud scream from the guest room.

She hurriedly rushed down to the guest room and found the house-help (in only his pants) with his legs trapped in the iron bed-post. He continued to scream in pain and as she rushed and assisted in disentangling her leg from the bed-post, her towel fell. She did not bother to pick the towel until she had disentangled his leg from the bed post. In trying to do this she had to lift his thigh up so that the leg would be freed.

It was at this point that we came in.

IF YOU WERE MY HUSBAND, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK AND DO? [/quote]

i keep seeing sites with millions of posts/views and not as many users as nairaland though.


what does that imply?

Also, several Yoruba houses I know have special chairs,plates and cups, etc for the father of the house. And some people do get offended if you sit on their husband's seat or mistakenly use his plate, etc. The father always get served first whether he is around or not and the father must always eat the best. Nothing wrong with this.

true, actually, in some homes.





[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=467978.msg6354607#msg6354607 date=1278636599]u must be lying out of your nose.
I'm yoruba and i've never heard of such in my entire life!!!! [/quote]some families do it.

you serve the dad first, and use special china or silverware.


the chair thing isnt exclusive to yoruba men though.

this is serious.
