ID you can enjoy the meal

idnoble135: I shall wait till the day i taste thwarting food. All thanks to Yetseyi who refused to open up over the dish.

[quote author=Mintayo]hmmm...that fits in perfectly...
And do you know that you can take it with Garri? As in Eba?
(in Momma's voice=ijebu, afi ikokore mu gaaarii):p[/quote

Yep, I actually took mine with EKO this evening
I just hope ID noble has not been salivating

Mintayo: Porridge? No.
And to think i don't know the English name too*covers face*

I dont think it has an english name
We could call it water yam porridge
What do you guys think

Mintayo: till now i prefer the watery part even thought i get 'scolded' for it...lol.
You can't believe i have never attended that Ojude-Oba once, i am not good with crowd; i have been to Ijebu-ode several times,i was there this month sef.
Glad to know you are 'an Ijebusite'...

Last time I attended was about 10years ago

Mintayo: been warned too,i almost changed my mind,as in run back to Ibadan,but i believe i will cope,thanks though.

[quote author=idnoble135]Yetseyi, is the food called porridge in english? [/quote
Yam porridge is different frm IKOKORE
JUst call it IKOKORE

It sounds like this Ekorkoreeeh

Mintayo: first time? Nooooo,several times,but this time,i am here to stay and a parmanent residence.

OHk

Actually could be nice and stressfree depeneding on where you stay, How close it is to your work place. There are places you can not live in Lag if you work on the Island. Stress may just kill the person.
Lagos is very stress full oh. I used t think it was normal to stay in traffic for 3-4hours till I lived in Yola for about 2months and then Ibadan. But we are used to The hustle and Bustle . U ll get used to it.
I almost ran back to IB afterr NYSC, It took me some month to blend back into the Lagos SYstem

Mintayo: i just hope i will love the state,everyone runs like something is chasing them,the traffic,the fear of 419 esp this festive period,the exhorbitant tee-fare,buying a tuber of yam@ a price of three in Ibadan and so on,so scary.

MInt I served in Ibadan And I ve lived in Lag my whole life prior to that. And I feel what you are feeling.

idnoble135: Rotf, I'm just hearing this.what's your temperament?

ID be nice noow

Mintayo: i just hope i will love the state,everyone runs like something is chasing them,the traffic,the fear of 419 esp this festive period,the exhorbitant tee-fare,buying a tuber of yam@ a price of three in Ibadan and so on,so scary.

You came to Lag for the first time

Mintayo: She sure described it well...Lol
very delicious but all i do is eat the watery part,fishes and leaves the 'stones' out..

LOL @ the stones . I prefered the watery part when I was younger but now I eat the stones too and those fish are always much

Mintayo: Ago-iwoye.

WOW I m from Ijebu Ode, I never knew I had a fellow Jebusite on xtian chatbox
I didnt see you on the Ojude Oba thread

Mintayo: Yes i am Ijebu,a conc one at it,and you just mentioned one of our best foods...
@d sigi,funny but true.

About the siggy ohk oooh

idnoble135: Hmmmm... Not bad. what is it made from?

idnoble135: Hmmmm... Not bad. what is it made from?

[quote author=idnoble135]Its made from water yam. Its finely grated and then cooked ( I wont tell u the recipe)

Mintayo: Yes i am Ijebu,a conc one at it,and you just mentioned one of our best foods...
@d sigi,funny but true.

Ijebu where?

idnoble135: Thought it was only me that observed. Weird siggy.

idnoble135: Ewww... You just spoilt the marketing. Makes me wanna puke.

Nope I didnt. You have to prepare the mind of the eater how the meal looks. So he would have first hand info

idnoble135: Reading the first line and the scripture in Isaiah instantly came to mind. I need a practical explanation of that verse. Any one?

Is it Isaiah 30:15

@ the bolded some times some scriptures may not sound practical to our ears

idnoble135: What's that?

A delicacy made with water Yam commom to the Ijebu"s in Ogun state.
It actually looks like feaces , to the inexperienced eyes
Very delicious

Mintayo: @the bolded,please don't take me back home:p...
I yam fine.

Are you IJEBU
By the way the first line of ur signature hmmm

I m back and there is no one around.
Good night
Tomorrow is sunday

Hi everyone I see ya IDnoble
I would have loved to gist but I want to feast on a meal of IKOKORE
Mintayo how are you

Hi Family,
This poem was on our bible study pamphlet.The topic of the study was The Power of silence and I want to share.


Lord how we long to hear your voice
A quiet heart, should be our choice
Our rest is you, to find our way
Never to doubt, your presence to stay
Lessons we learn, your ways, your teaching
Learning to lean, to listen, ever reaching
Never to doubt, faith alone we"ll reach out
Learn to be still no need to shout
By our heart we listen, we dare not carry
Our prayer is most precious, in our walk of faith
Jesus our Lord make no mistake
Lord, we're never alone you're always near
Teach us, be slow to speak but quick to hear
We'll listen to you praying your name
Father, through Son, one and the same
With each dawning, as with evening tide
The power of silence,ever working, in us abide
AMEN


Silence is not a weakness may a times a strength.
Isaiah 30:15 (.....in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength)

Remain blessed

Hi every body. good morning

D op of this thread advised we practice from either shl or asessment day.co.uk . I noticed
Asessment day gives you the result and shows you the ones you got right or wrong and even has corrections with tips to answer d question wch shl does not have .they are different question s but same format and I believe d asessment day site would help us know aw we are expected to answer those verbal questions.
U can check page 1 again 2 confirm d asessment day website

Well for me
All Don Moen's songs
Still ........,......,........... hill song
Nobody greater than you. Vashan Mitchell
You are. Kirk Franklin

here I am to worship and Healing rain...Michael smith
There are others

zeuskyrocky: Thanks so much my dear sister for such an insightfull exposure.May God bless you.I have search for a teaching Job but i was told i didnt do Education as a major.i have got experience in oil and Gas sector during my IT as well as my NYSC because i served under NNPC .I always atune myself with any available vacancies .

have you tried sending unsolicited applications 2 all d not so popular oil nd gas/ oil servicing cmpy's around. There are quite a number of dem since u have experience in d@ sector- sapetro etc I knw sapetro accepts unsolicited applications , Pls check their site and send cv. U can googleall these cmpy's. Something may just happen. God bless our hustle

one more thing . I love GTBank architectural designs, very very nice. Each branch has a unique design.

GTB Gtconnect is very nice. Those call center agents@ GTconnect are good @ what they do. And I visited alaba international branch 2weeks ago and It wz a WOW experience. But some of those customer care personell in some of their branches can frustrate u. But apart from queues @ ATMs nd some rude staff Its a good bank

Nestle. My neighbor works there, he had a baby recently and told me they gave him 'paternity leave'. His first daugher had hearing problems and needed to get hearing aids, it seemed things like d@ are nt part of the health scheme. He wrote a letter a management nd dey paid half d costs of d aids(those things are quite expensive). Also himself nd dependants get free health care frm one of d best private hospitals in my area, dey have acess to loans. Lets not even talk about their meals/airconditioned staff bus. I wz reading their magazine mid dle of d year and Isaw that they now have a breastfeeding room @ their ilupeju office where nursing mothers can feed their infants during work hours. All the nestle workers I know have never complained about the company

@chubbie
LOL @ ' to put kids on stronger footing' .
about ur friend I really dunno wat 2 say abt it coz their case is a little complex. God grant them wisdom.

Hey family, Id noble, zeusrocky I see you all

zeuskyrocky: My name is Jude and i am from Anambra state.Am the first Son in the family of 5 siblings. I studied Mechanical Engineering at University of Nigeria,Nsukka were i graduated since 2008 and i have completed my NYSC. After my NYSC,i searched for a job but no one is coming forth. When i think about my future it brings a biger shock to me because i believe i have a long way to go in life. I lost my lovely Dad the same year i graduated and since then i have been struggling hard to make ends meet. The whole of my family are looking upto me in terms of financial support since am now a graduate but i always have non to help myself let alone to my family. I have no person to help me get a job but always look up to God. please my dear brothers and sisters am pleading in the name of God to help me out in which ever way you can to bring back a smile to me and my family. I realy need a job. I am presently in Lagos looking for anything to do but got non. To feed now is a problem. Please if anybody has anything of help am ever ready to embrace it. Please do not look at me as a begger but as you brother in need. Thanks and God bless us. Amen

Brother, I believe You can teach physics,you can do that to keep body and soul together while searching for a better job. Since you served in 2008 , age may not allow you to apply for trainee jobs around. If you have experience maybe during IT or NYSC relevant to mech engr. You can always check the jobs section. U may just see some thing that suits you. seriously get something doing even if it teaching
It is well bro

@deebey well said

I m inspired by their story @ least there's comfort in knowing d@ people still do d right thing
