The flood is usually pretold before it happens. I've heard many agencies call for the Dams to be worked on, drainages cleared in that area and all to mitigate the flood..it feels like it's never done.
I can't forget the first time it escalated in 2012.
I was travelling as a corper from Benin to Jigawa.
That road was unplyable. The rivers had over flowed their bank, farms produce unharvestable, houses submerged, communities made homeless. Traffic we met at Lokoja was 2 weeks old. We had to use a crane to cross our bus tru the nearby River. The scariest experience of my life. One crane carried 2 buses loaded with 15 passengers and 1 small car. 15k per vehicle to cross us.
My heart sank over an over in this 10 mins of one of the riskiest moves of my life. Like what if the crane just bends?, We'd just sink.
Kai!.
Years after it's still same.
See the picture below

Please, it's called a barge not a crane.

@lalasticlala, @Mvena, @Mariangeles, I hope you will try this out soon.

Mvena:
Oh my goodness! This looks yummyyyyy I wish I was a fan of beans, damn!

If you were presented with this pancake without being told it's made from beans, you might not even know.

Seniorwriter:
Innovative and commendable....@OP I hope you are earning via online with your cooking skills... emphasis on via online if not then you are unwise and missing out on a goldmine(internet community of over 1billion active users).

Cypress042:

Cypress042:


The ones up there, don't try to lie you're not the one that prepared it

Oh My.....I am very surprised that are you accusing me of copyright infringement. The pictures you referred to are from videos on my channel. You can go and see for yourself.

Secondly, I take particular exception of your false accusations and feel very insulted that you would even contemplate such without first verifying. These meals and videos have been painstakenly prepared to share valuable knowledge with Nairaland community and I will not subscribe to your tarnishing of my hard earned reputation.
I humbly request our dear MODs to please investigate this matter as it appears rule 2 has been broken by Cypress042. Thanks

Cypress042:
Downloaded pictures, stop living fake life op. It doesn't pay

Which pictures are you referring to?

Cc: lalasticlala, Mariangeles, Mvena,

Hello everyone! TGIF!
So here is a quick and delicious breakfast recipe that I prepared recently. Tasty, yummy pancakes but made with beans and not the regular flour. It's a great breakfast idea that you can try out this weekend.

It can be made with very little oil, only one tablespoon per pancake. So no need to worry cos it won't guzzle your oil like akara or puff puff

See details below.

INGREDIENTS
2 cups of Beans (tinned milk cup)
pepper
seasoning
salt to taste
vegetable oil
3 eggs
Onion - 1 medium bulb

AZControversial:



Aahh! Other methods ke? Ok. We're waiting.

AZControversial:



I've actually tried both before. But on first attempt with both..... and eventual satisfaction, the frying method came out way better and I got stuck with it ever since.

Ok, nice! There are also other methods of preparing the same soup besides these two, I plan to share soon.

You may also find one of them preferable

AZControversial:



To me, it just feels easier.

You may want to try out each to be really sure of which is easier to cook, your feelings may not be telling you the truth o

When frying fish, if you don't want it to stick to the bottom of the pot, sprinkle little flour in the oil before putting the fish.

AkorBishop:


This is superB

Thanks !

phemmyfour:
Frying free method all the way. Frying reduces nutrients quality in our food

Okay, nice!

eziemich:
@op
I want to try that tomatoes type. Did u use any soup hardener like achi or offor ?
Again before u added the tomatoes, it's like you've previously cooked or fried it dry, which one?

No I didn't use any soup thickener.

Yes, after grinding, I boiled the tomatoes dry before using.

10kgod:


Kudos.


Sorry, it's unrelated but I have to say this. The inner part of the first non-sticky pot is fading. Time to change it. It's not safe again.

Thanks for the observation.

gloryhomemaker:
I choose the second. It looks better, well done again.

Ok, good choice! Thanks very much!

everythinggirly:
Yummy....

Thanks!

Emmanuel909090:
Nice

Thanks

chukzyfcbb:
The egusi doesn't look thick tho, looks somewhat watery

You can decide to make yours thicker, it's a thing of preference.

Proudlyomonna:
The egusi no just fine for face
If you wan cook egusi use better red oil abeg
Se Im go sweet like dis oo

Ok noted! Quantity of Red oil in soups is by preference, you can decide to add as much as you prefer in your own soup. As long as you enjoy it that way, it's fine.
