Ugba: African Salad
Ingredients:

      Basic Ingredients For Making Ugba Salad (Serves six)

            (1) Palm Oil (450g or 1lb)
            (2) Liquid Potash (Potassium Carbonate -- Dissolved white solid in water)
            (3) Hot Pepper -- 2 whole
            (4) Crayfish -- 1 Whole sliced
            (5) Salt to taste

      Roughage For Preparation of African Salads

            (1) Abacha or processed cassava slices
            (2) Garden Eggs
            (3) Ukazi Leaves
            (4) Ugba
            (5) Leaf of Garden Egg Plant
            (6) Onions

      Other Ingredients That May be Used in African Salads

            (1) Stockfish (Dry codfish)
            (2) Kpomo or Cow skin
            (3) Smoked fish

   1. Using a bow dissolve the potash (akaun) in water, a little warm water and add the palm oil to it. Stir the potash solution until it turns yellow in colour and thickens.
   2. Dissolve the maggi and salt in little hot water and add to the mixture. Add the pepper, onion, crayfish and stir.
   3. Add all remaining ingredients and thoroughly stir until all is well mixed.
   4. Add the shredded leaves and taste for enough salt and maggi. Add the chopped garden eggs and serve with fried fish or isi gwu, over a cold drink (beer, stout, or palmy).

It may not be likely to find ugba -- made from these seeds -- in African grocery stores in Europe or America. The reason being that ugba does not keep well. Ugba must be used within two weeks or it would ferment to the point of rot. The unfermented ugba may keep longer if kept in airtight cellophane wrapping.

The preparation of the oil bean seed to make ugba begins with cooking of the seeds, slicing the cooked seeds into thin strips and washing and fermenting them for 3 to 4 days before use. When first sliced, the ugba has a grayish white color, after fermentation it turns dark brown. Then it is ready for use in salads.

Usually, you do not have to bother with the above preparation. Ugba comes in pre-prepared strips ready to go into your salad.

As I mentioned earlier, you may not find the actual ugba in stores outside Nigeria. But you never know, there may be one or two intrepid merchants out there who have found ways to import and preserve Ugba long enough to sell them.

In any case, do not worry, if you can not find the ugba, there is a variety of ingredients for making the African salad. The basic ingredients (without the ugba) are the same and easily available in African stores in Europe or America. The ugba itself may be considered part of the roughage used in the salad, and there are a number of vegetables that can substitute for roughage. Any of these vegetables can also be used in combination with or without Ugba to make the salad.

Use of a basic set of ingredients ensures that you always get that unique taste of the African salad.

Everything you need, except perhaps the Ugba slices itself, for this dish can be found in your local grocery store.

As per the book,,  still working on that idea.

Cook for where, when i have a cook!

Cook ko, fast food ni,

@RSA,

I am not disputing people's right to protest. It surely is their democratic right

What I am questioning is the security factor.

Clearly these people are violent armed protesters who have to be subdued with rubber bullets, water canons & teargas.

Their protests are not only aimed at the government as the shot bus drivers and private motorists whose cars were  stoned and damaged will attest to.

All these happening in the major CBD's of South Africa and all the main areterial roads leading into and out of the cities.

How can the safety  & security of thousands of foreign visitors be guaranteed?

Taxi operators threaten to sabotage 2010

Eyewitness News
A group of taxi operators have threatened to sabotage the 2010 FIFA World Cup if the government ignores their concerns.


The operators are up in arms over several issues, including the introduction of a new public transport system.

They claim government wants to reduce the number of taxis on the country’s roads.

Transport Minister Jeff Radebe has until Thurday to respond to the operators’ grievances.


The Surren Taxi Association’s Ismail Baradon warned that if the ministry failed to act, it would be to blame for major disruptions in 2010 proceedings.

He pointed out that during the cricket and rugby world cups held in South Africa, taxis did not benefit at all.

“What makes them think that this two ten [sic] we will benefit?”

Baradon highlights how the taxi industry is feeding the economy and advises the minister to wake up.

“We put the minister there to serve the people but right now the minister’s not doing his job. There will be no votes for him, or there won’t be any World Cup in this country, period.”

Baradon said that they would fight till the bitter end to put an end to the implementation of the Bus Rapid Transport System, calling for government to stop pumping millions into the stadiums since the transport was the heartbeat of the city.

“If they think there was a strike, 1976, we were children throwing stones. We are much bigger and much stronger. We will fight with the last drop of blood in our veins to stop this process” says Baradon.

The Transport Department has been unavailable for comment.

@RSA Hiding your head in the Sand ostrich style is whatthe SA govt is doing
Fiddling while Rome burns and telling the world to "eat cake" {excuse the mixed metaphor here}

Ahn Ahn,

No be the same South Africa where the taxi drivers went on strike a few days ago threatening to stop the Conf cup and World cup and had to be dispersed with tear gas and rubber bullets?

They were stoning buses and peoples cars and all that

Security reasons?,  hmmmm,   


How are people supposed to get to and from all these games with those "danfo" taxi drivers going amok?

How exactly is South Africa going to protect foreign vistors from these thugs who have openly said that they [size=14pt]will [/size] disrupt these sporting events?

RSA:



South Africa is not as bad as the media is presenting to the outside world,yes we have serious issues but we also have more positive things.The country is not ungovernable or out of control as it seems when you live outside South Africa.

And also our media which is mostly white owned has never accepted this new goverment and they will do anything to showcase all the negatives,to prove to the world that black people cannot rule succesfully but most are starting to eat their humble pies.  Before the host awarding of the world cup  most of them ran a negative campaign with the help of BBC to discourage FIFA from awarding the tournament to SA and they failed.Even Sepp Blatter said the biggest problem with SA is some people within the country who where too negative.The good thing is our brothers are putting their head down and work,your work will always speak for you.

@ELRAZUR I know that crime and terrorism are not the same thing,but I was thinking that you where going to question the fact that SA claim it can protect visitors from terror attacks while it cant protect its citizen from criminals.

@Mrpheus before you start typing I know exately what you're going to write,you're too predictable,please suprise me sometime.I don't hate Nija peeps 

Congratulations o!!

Wish you well on your wediing day!!

@tpia

Thanks

    * salt to taste

Directions

   1. Wash the meat thoroughly and place in a large pot. Season with salt and ground chillies. Add some stock and cook for 30 minutes.
   2. Meanwhile, wash the oil-palm and cook until soft to make the concentrate.
   3. Add the washed smoked fish and stockfish to the pot of boiling meats and cook for 10 minutes.

AFRICA: South Africa, Egypt dominate new ranking
Writer: Karen MacGregor
Date: 22 February 2009


There are 11 South African and four Egyptian universities in the latest Africa Top 20 of the Web Ranking of World Universities, which rates institutions based on the size and quality of their internet presence. There is also one institution each from Kenya, Senegal, Namibia, Morocco and Tanzania.

The generally poor internet connectivity of Africa's universities place the continent at a distinct disadvantage in terms of electronic ranking measurement. Those countries with the greatest connectivity, notably South Africa and Egypt, have the most universities in the Top 100, and with 16 institutions in the Top 100 Morocco also achieves a strong presence.

Since the Web Ranking, produced by the Cybermetrics Lab of Spain's National Research Council, achieves similar results to other internationally respected rankings systems, it is argued that website presence is a valid indicator of a university's standing in the world of academia.

What sets the Web Ranking apart from others is that it lists 4,000 out of 16,000 institutions surveyed around the world and ranks universities within their regions, enabling continents such as Africa - few of whose universities are listed in the Top 500 in the world - to gain some idea of how their institutions are faring compared to others in the region.

The ranking is produced twice a year and measures the total number of pages on each institution's website, the numbers of 'rich' documents (which tend to contain academic content) and scientific documents, as well as the number of external organisation's links to the website (an electronic equivalent of counting citations in academic journals).

The University of Cape Town heads the latest Web Ranking list of Top 100 universities in Africa, followed - in order of ranking - by the universities of Stellenbosch, Pretoria, Rhodes, the Witwatersrand, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape.

Other South African universities also appearing in the Top 20 are the huge distance University of South Africa (9), Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (11), the University of the Free State (13) and the University of Johannesburg (19).

A further seven South African institutions make it into the Top 100 list, including only foreign-owned Monash University South Africa. And so 18 of the country's 23 public universities are represented.

Egypt's four Top 20 institutions are the American University in Cairo, in eighth position, Cairo University (10), Mansoura University (15) and Ain Shams University (20). All in all, 17 Egyptian higher education institutions are in the Top 100 Africa list.

Kenya's Strathmore University, in Nairobi, comes in at number 12 while Senegal's Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar is at 14. Also in the Top 20 are Polytechnic of Namibia (16), Morocco's Université Cadi Ayyad (17) and the University of Dar Es Salaam in the Tanzanian capital (18).

The University of Mauritius is ranked at 21, followed by Kenya's University of Nairobi (22), Algeria's Université Abou Bekr Belkaid Tlemcen (23), Morroco's École Mohammadia d'Ingenieurs (24), University of Zimbabwe (25), University of Namibia (26), National University of Rwanda (27), Egypt's Arab Academy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport (28), Al Akhawayn University Ifrane in Morocco (29), and Tanzania's Sokoine University of Agriculture (30).

[size=14pt]Despite its large higher education sector, only three Nigerian universities - Ibadan, Benin and Obafemi Awolowo - made the Top 100 list, reflecting the lack of internet connectivity of that country's institutions.[/size]

Two African universities have slipped from the top 500 identified by the Academic Ranking of World Universities, leaving only three - the universities of Cape Town, the Witwatersrand and KwaZulu-Natal - in the elite global list for 2008. South Africa follows Ireland into 25th place in terms of percentage distribution of top universities by country, ahead of Europe's Greece, Hungary, Poland and Portugal as well as India.

Cairo University, which was ranked in the Top 500 last year, is nowhere to be seen in the 2008 list of the respected global ranking, produced by the Institute of Higher Education at Shanghai Jaio Tong University for the government of China. The University of Pretoria - previously ranked around in the 400 to 500 category, has also disappeared - probably pushed out by the rise of universities in China.

With three of 23 public universities in the Top 500, South Africa has 13% of its institutions represented, and together the three institutions enrol around 85,000 students.

The University of Cape Town is ranked half way down the Top 500, in the 200 to 300 category. In that same group are the universities of Bologna in Italy, Bordeaux 1 in France, Calgary in Canada, Computense in Portugal, Dusseldorf in Germany and Dundee in the UK.

The University of the Witwatersrand, in Johannesburg, was placed in the top 300 to 400 universities - the same categories of the universities of Ulm in Germany, Valencia in Spain, Warsaw in Poland, Wollongon in Australia, Vrije University Brussels and Waseda in Japan.

The University of KwaZulu-Natal held its position in the top 400 to 500 of the world's universities, in the same group as universities such as Jyvaskyla and Kuopio in Finland, the University of Kansas Medical Center in the US, Lille 1 in France, the University of Lisbon and Slovenia's Ljubljani University.

hmmm, my alma mater dey top list !!! YAY!!!

blackoasis:

can someone please help me with the recipe of agege bread?

Ingredients
1/4 ounce dry yeast (one small packet)
1/4 cup water
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon shortening
6-7 cups bread flour, sifted

Directions
1. Sprinkle dry yeast in warm (110 degrees) water.
2. Scald milk (150 degrees) in sauce pan, then remove from heat.
3. Add sugar, salt, and shortening to the milk.
4. Cool to lukewarm.
5. Add yeast/water mixture and 2 cups of sifted flour and beat with hand mixer on lowest speed.
6. Stir in 2 to 3 more cups of flour. (I use my wooden spoon for this).
7. When dough becomes too stiff to stir, turn out onto well floured surface.
8. Knead until smooth and satiny, and "blisters" start to appear. (10 minutes). During this step, I keep the kneading surface well floured to prevent the dough from becoming sticky. Depending upon the temperature and humidity, more or less flour becomes incorporated into the dough. I have found that this is fine. The dough seems to know how much flour it needs. I am sure sometimes I add another full cup! Since this is all sifted flour, it is probably not as much as it seems. When the dough has enough flour, it stops "taking it in", and becomes very smooth and elastic.
9. Shape into a ball.
10. Put into large greased bowl, turning over to coat entire surface.
11. Cover with warm damp towel, then place another towel over that.
12. Put in oven (not lit) with light on, or other warm, not drafty place.
13. Let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.
14. Punch down. (this step is a light kneed in the bowl).
15. Let rise again until doubled. (about 45 minutes).
16. Divide dough into 2 pieces and shape each into a ball placing on floured surface.
17. Cover and let bread rest (proof) for 10 minutes.
18. Grease 2 loaf pans (I use 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 glass pans).
19. Flatten balls, one at a time, into long rectangles about 8x16 inches.
20. Roll up lengthwise shaping into loaves to fit pan.
21. Cover and let rise again until double. (about an hour).
22. Bake in hot (400°F) oven for 35 - 40 minutes, covering with foil last 20 minutes, if tops get too brown.
23. When bread is done, remove from pans at once, placing on a wire rack to cool, keeping away from drafts.
24. For soft crust, brush tops with butter and cover with a damp cloth.
