If you know how harmful most of these foods are to your body,you will stop taking them.
I miss suya,fries and others but never again I am gonna eat them. For now yoghurt(unsweetened bacteria filled one),fruits are my snacks

If they were that harmful, more than 1/2 of the Nigerian population would've been dead.

Abacha......... Not abasha. Yoruba people always spoil igbo pronunciations.

1. Ishilove is not Yoruba.

2. It's normal to not pronounce words not native to you correctly. It's not a peculiarity to a tribe/race.

I think you need to apologise. You can as well prefer not to.

Roasted corn reminds me of Obasanjo as a president during his tenure, he stopped his convoy in other to buy roasted corn along federal housing lugbe, Abuja, the woman was very happy to see president of Nigeria buying roasted corn from her, OBJ bought 300 naira corn and he gave the woman 500 naira, the woman was shocked when OBJ asked of the 200 naira change, believe me Baba collected his 200 Naira change before he left.


Chai.

Most of all these foods are heavily fat-laden and very toxic to the arteries. They gradually destroy the body.

Akara can easily be bought by babies, young gen and old gen, anytime in the morning or at night and across the length and breadth of the country.
These makes Akara King of Nigeria Street Foods and not Suya.

Some foods are served by the road at night and these set of foods give pleasure and you've got to pay for the pleasure served.

Nothing beats this.
