Mom007: You went to a calabar woman's restaurant and ordered rice? Not really their strong suit you know... They are known for their soups though this ones sound ridiculously overpriced. If you want great rice meals, our mothers from the west have that on lockdown!
Hilda is NOT a Calabar girl. She is an Ibibio girl from Akwa Ibom State.
Calabar is the capital of Cross Rivers State.
Yeah, the Yoruba-style party jollof rice and fried rice have got it going on.
sukkot: So I went to see my gurl Hilda Baci to see what she got cooking. had to empty the bank akant just to bring yall this content. the place is alright, the AC is very strong, its small and cute.
The food prices? A bit on the high side for like swallow eaters like soup starts from 5000 naira. Just the soup alone without the meat and swallow. the rice i bought is 1500, the fish 2000 and malt is 400 for a total of 3900 naira. the food was straight up garbage. TAsted horrible. I could only stomach half of it till i abandoned the rest. I give it a solid 3 out of 10.
The positives are the AC is very cold and the malt was very cold. would i go back ? nope
"My Food by Hilda." Sukkot the Godfather was here... N3900 pere!
Willgates: Guys, check out these stunning pictures of the just completed, soon to be commissioned new terminal at the Akwa Ibom state international airport. Renamed, The Victor Attah International Airport.
folake4u: Actually, I'm referring to your second paragraph.
Her: Look at his big head. Come here Ode! Him: Who are you calling Ode? (Pillow fight and tickling each other follow). Mekwe starts.
Curtains closed.
The End.
@folake4u,
Aha! The second paragraph you say? "You cheeky GenZ baby lawyer just out of Law School"... Your anecdotes here cracked me up. In that case, objections overuled.
Creamypie: the delta north tribes. ... Ikas, aniochas, aren't Igbo. the ikas and urhobos are from Benin. Obis of agbor(Ika) and Onichcha-ugbo( aniocha) report and updates to the oba of Benin, just like the obi of agbor(Ika) does.the ndokwas are migrants partly from igbo. Funny enough, the urhobos are from benin too, during the egbeka and ogiso dynasty. The ukwuanis, oshimilis are extensions from both Ika and Igbo's, asaba/OKpanam (oshimili) people came from union of a woman named diaba from a trader from kogi named onojobo, a prince from igala land, kogi, and a woman, Diaba, a court maid in Eze,anyanwus court in Anambra., from agbakuba village, njete, anambra state and gave birth to nnebisi, which means mother is supreme. but because of geographical proximity. Igbo's from east want to lay claim to both for their selfish expansionist reasons. It should be noted that none of their kings report to the obi of onitsha. These irredentists will not want to hear this truth spoken in their faces even if they know this on their subconscious mind. If igala/kogi who are the supposed rightful ancestors begin to lay claim to asaba and environs like the way Igbo's are wrongly attempting, they will not want it. If kano were to be geographically close to east, just like delta, Igbo's/ipob would have claimed it as a part of Igbo land, considering their very large numbers in Sabon- Gari
Very insightful @Creamypie.
Thanks for you feedback. It further reinforces what I know.
Indeed the Igala influence in Anioma and even in the Anambra and Northern Enugu areas are well documented. Ebu, Illah, Asaba, Okpanam, Onitsha, etc, are clearly Igala-associated communities. Remember that I posted that the Obi of Onitsha said in that documentary that it was the Igala boat men that took his ancestors across the River Niger in boats to Onitsha.
Historical records also show that Igala were the first occupants of what is now Onitsha before other migrants came in and they constitute part of the 8 quarters in Onitsha.
Even the red chieftaincy caps were introduced by Igalas into the Nsukka area from where it was copied by the aboriginal Ibo subgroups in the South East.
I affirm that Delta North is too mixed with descendants of Bini-Edo, Esan-Edo, Igala, Yoruba (i.e., the Olukumis of Ugbodu and Ukwu Nzu towns, located near Onicha Ugbo and Issele Uku in Aniocha North LGA), Urhobo, Nri (Ibo), to be classified as a pure Ibo area and the secessionists from the core South East have no right to bring their ramblings into Asaba or nearby towns in Delta North.
folake4u: Imagine marrying someone who fights you cos you called him Ode.
Objection!
Ode is NOT a pleasant word to say to a man you are in a long-term relationship with depending on the tone of voice used by the female spouse and vice versa. It's rather insidious and can lead to a collapse of the marriage.
On the other hand, ode or the English translation called "fool/stupid" can be used in a jocular way though based on how you say it, and both of you can engage in a pillow fight and tickle each other as part of some pre-intimacy rituals, but this should not be overused because most men have a healthy ego. Lol

cococandy: No the edible one. Called nzu in igbo language
I had some sort of pica due to moderate anemia the pregnancy caused (moderate anemia is pretty normal during pregnancy) but I was always weak and couldn’t keep up my energy. So I had to take in extra iron supplement. The clay is a good source of it. Many pregnant women without realizing it usually crave the nutrient their body is missing.
Regular iron supplements from the pharmacy usually cause more nausea and gastrointestinal distress. I couldn’t stand those iron pills.
Oh, wow! That's interesting. So, you ate "Ukwu Nzu"... Lol You must be referring to kaolin.
By the way, Ukwu Nzu (OR called by the original Yoruba name, Eko Afun, which means white chalk) is an Olukumi town (which was first established centuries ago by Yoruba trading migrants and warriors who arrived in waves from Yorubaland via the Bini kingdom and Esanland) in Aniocha North LGA of Delta State that has deposits of a white chalky substance that has been mined by the natives for some centuries now.
Tbh, the cravings you women have during pregnancies is on another level. It just blows my mind away anytime I read about the inconceivable things you folks crave for. A woman even said she had strong cravings for the smell and taste of wet sand!
Indeed... Vicky the badass mamma still wants to grow up. New career paths are cropping up that are remote-based and are already deleting the conventional ones.
By the way, congrats on the new airport that was commissioned in your state yesterday... A superb work of architecture.
ednut1: Many of them are nice, can hold intellectual conversations . They will not hesitate to dump your ass if you mess up or treat them bad unlike those hungry girls.
Some behave masculine due to the nature of their jobs. Some are competitive too and try to outdo you. Another issue is they know how to save their own money while they spend yours. I don jam career babe earning over 250k salary that refused to pay her own uber to come by house, 3k uber o 😏. I still prefer career women over urgent 2k babes
Creamypie: delta isn't Igbo. U are ignorant here. Asaba is a different tribe and dialect, same way illaje,itshekiri aren't Yoruba, but speak similar dialect.ikas, unkwuanis, ndokwas aren't Igbo, but broke off from Benin. Can IG is claim ikwere in p.h as Igbo?
Hello @Creamypie,
Are you originally an indigene of Asaba? I want a feedback from you so as to clear some things up here.
The Ibo secessionists have been insisting on their propaganda sites and even here on NL since the early 2000s that Asaba, Okpanam, and other Anioma towns especially in Aniocha, Ndokwa and Oshimili will be part of the so-called "biafra."
It seems like some Oshimili folks in Anioma are beginning to identify as Ibo. If you are from Asaba, can you let me know the feeling of folk in that area on this. I know that Asaba is originally made up of descendants of Igala, Edo, and Nteje migrants. This is the reason why you have Bini-Edo words such as Ogbes or family compounds in Asaba and some other Anioma towns based on the Bini-Edo settlements there centuries back. I have read all these in history books over the last 30 years now.
Even in Onitsha, the Obi of Onitsha said it was the Igalas that took his ancestors by boat for the first time about 500 years ago as they migrated from the Idu area near Benin city. He also said in that Ofala Festival documentary that he has Bini, Igala, and Ibo ancestral bloodlines.
Last but not least, Ilajes are for a FACT full-blooded Yorubas who migrated from Ile-Ife centuries back. A branch of the Ilajes from the oil-rich Ugbo kingdom migrated over 500 years ago to what is now Delta State (They founded Ugborodo formerly called Escravos) and constitute one of the 4 major branches of the Itsekiris. (The Ilajes, Ifes, Ijebus, and Bini-Edo migration by Prince Ginuwa to Ode-Itsekiri which is originally an Ijebu settlement all constitute the 4 major migrant branches of Itsekiris).
Creamypie: these pipo wan try sell d ipob stuff to we Deltans, cos of our close proximity to east, and d fact that Igbo's are relocating in large numbers to delta and surrounding southern states....since IPOb/ESN/u g.m started in d east. They have this unhealthy irredentist attitude in them.one woman was making a call, saying asaba is almost as good as no man's land. Thats how they start. They think anywhere Igbo's settle is Igbo land, which is = Biafra land, so that the criminals using it as cover can extend their criminality of kidnappings, robberies, human organ harvesting, and assassination in d south. Many igbo Big men with their families no longer go home, even at the year ending, even when there's family meeting, they send representative and make and fulfil all their financial obligations as required in the meeting from their base outside Igbo land. I thank God Gowon divided south from east. otherwise, we from south for no dey exist again
MrBrownJay1: EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY!!!! unless you are a top company like Air France, Emirates etc, most new/small airlines company's aircraft are rented and/or bought (on credit) from failing airlines or from airlines that want to upgrade their fleet.
you think AIR PEACE own their planes....? they mostly got their planes from a Latvian CHARTER company called Smartlynx. Smartlynx own their planes not Air Peace.

Exclusive101: During the just-concluded elections, politicians and their supporters used social media to manipulate public opinion, either by deliberately spreading false information or misrepresenting information to suit certain narratives.
Most times, they either spread fake news about candidates and their parties or manipulate discussions and existing data to earn support and sympathy for their favourites.
A viral post claimed that Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, a Yoruba socio-political group, said the Igbos should be allowed to secede if Nigerians do not want an Igbo man to rule the country.
“Nigerians want Peter Obi to be their president by voting for him. If INEC dares to rig the election, Nigerians should protest seriously for international communities to intervene. If you don’t want Igboman to rule Nigeria, then allow them go with Biafra,” reads the quote attributed to Ayo Adebanjo.

“Whenever other presidential candidates see me, they will ignore me as nobody because I have no money. Peter Obi always walks to me to greet me anytime he sees me. Even though he is my opponent, I will not deny the fact that he is a humble man. – Omoyele Sowore,” the quote claimed.

seunny4lif: First biggest shock was losing my BTA money which was $1K
Then last year I lost over 7M becos it was $15K on Cryptocurrency. Money gone for life I never recover till day and I can't even explain to my woman till day. All my savings gone
That's something most men won't be able to confide in their spouses to prevent anxiety or hysteria on the part of those ladies tbh. Only few emotionally intelligent women can be confided in about such investment setbacks without getting some verbal judgment or the "I-told-you-so-look."
Investing in the financial markets is still one of the best ways out sans cryptocurrencies which majorly have NO fundamentals backing them up. You may wish to look into "copy trading" in the currency markets when you have significant funds again. You have peace of mind through the automated copying of the trades of professional traders for a percentage of your capital or principal monthly from Share4you and more. Do your due diligence by reading reviews on each social trading platform.
