,because men don't joke wt their stomach(especially naija men)

Cadet:

Well, I can cook Nigerian dishes, but not those complicated ones. Just hope my husband can cook, so he can teach me. Or I can just buy a recipe book or ask one of my family members to teach me.

It still does not make me any less marriageable

nwando:

You basically need to know how to cook peppersoup,porridge yam,okro,ogbono,egusi and bitterleaf soups,jollof and fried rice,stew,moi moi.
Making eba,semolina and frying plaintain are a piece of cake.
All the soups are basically the same method just a slight difference.
Frying akara and making meat pies and chin chin are optional,you can order those from naija caterers.

Oyibo foods like lasagna,shrimp scampi etc,stuffed this and that ,you can follow recipe from the internet to wow your guests.
Cooking is not hard at all.It's the cleaning up I hate the most.

So? What does he have hands and legs for?

_{Just to "phock"?}

I bloody hate ogbono. gbegiri too! The smell is disgusting. Egusi sucks too. Infact to hell with crayfish. Ugh. Wouldnt be caught dead making that crap. Infact I'd probably end up dead anyway if I had to be in the kitchen around that stuff

what is semolina?

@poster, Where was your mother all this while? I don't expect anyone to remember something as cooking at 5. I didn't even start cooking at that age And I really don't know why parents start blaming children when you can't cook or speak your language. Were the children training themselves?

You can start learning from here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-25475.0.html

almondjoy:

Oh dear!

Ermmmmmmm! I would not say all that too loud. I think your stock value just plummeted on Nairaland!

D-reloaded:

anyway since some people rather be mean instead, I found it out

nah don't like the stuff. Want something nice and smooth, I'll stick to my amala, thanks

Cadet:


You're going one-sided here. Some of the children don't want to learn too. If they're passionate about it, then they can do it. Sometimes the parents try their hardest, but if the children are not putting much effort into learning, not much can be accomplished

stillwater:

Are the parents not in the position to guide the children? Or when did children start having the last say to subjects like this in the family?

It's like a classroom! The teachers guide you, however, If the children are not willing to learn, you can beat the sh^t out of them, nothing will make them learn. They're simply not interested. Sure, they don't have the last say, But if they don't want to learn they won't.

I was like a mother to my little sister, you can't imagine how hard I tried to teach her Yoruba! The girl is simply not interested, she cares not to learn it. We're talking about children here. They have their own little mind.

Woman who can't cook? Useless!

Too damn lazy!
