onyinye2: LOL I love salads with chicken grilled chicken though. But nothing beats a plate of jollof rice cooked by a Yoruba woman. Chei! I give them props for correct jollof. The type that'll give you "lipstick" and lip gloss when it's over. If I had to request my last supper,it'll be a plate of jollof rice with tenderized goat meat followed by a plate of stewed shaki and ponmo and a can of sunkist. after that,I'll be ready to meet my maker |

KarmaMod: NVS is a more mature site. I log in once in a while while online and I enjoy her posts there. She is nothing like her crazy self here. The men in NVS are usually accomplished mature gentlemen Looks like some of them even fought the Biafran war from the way they talk. They were talking about some Nigerian TV series "Village headmaster"in great details that I knew nothing about save the name and someone actually talked about how soldiers molested his family and him during the war I was like wow! On nairaland I'm considered an old woman and there I'm talking with men and women who knew when Awolowo was premier of Western Nigeria and we traded in pounds and shillings. They can be too serious though. |

KarmaMod: there's an original Igbo salad called Ugba. It's made with cooked okporoko, the ugba,and sometimes pieces of cooked meat and in my village they add garden egg leaves sometimes. and yes palm oil It's very tasty but sometimes when they use potash in it,you may end up with "running stomach" running to lokoja there's another type abacha and okporoko Oh I miss my grandma |

omoge,the one I still can't figure out is seeing people that feel obligated to take every food on the menu. I don't understand why someone will have a plate with everything piled up and overflowing then go back and get a wrap of pounded yam and scoop the 2 or 3 different soups side by side on the divided platters It boggles my mind. and they haven't had dessert yet o |

OH I forgot the fried goat,stewed meat,fried catfish,jollof rice,fried rice,fried and baked chicken and co. Getting salad in NIgerian parties is a joke. Nobody touches the uncooked leaves By the time they get the egusi soup,different kinds of rice,plantain and meat on the plastic plate there's no space for your leaves. If they return,it's to collect the pepper soup and more "betta" food. |

onyinye2: let them leave. haba! The last time I did a party,I had it catered by a non Nigerian restaurant because I hate bothering people to cook me this and that and you have no clue what nonsense people will throw together and bring. some will pour sugar in jollof rice and bring for you Tufia I either pay a Nigerian caterer or get a BBQ place to bring me food and I make some jollof and soup if I feel like it. If people won't eat , let them leave. If you won't eat at my party because I don't have kpof kpof, buns, akara, fish roll, ugba, porridge yam, meat pies and star lager then don't come. |

there's nothing we won't hear in this place. @ poster your people may even hate the guy more if you turn up pregnant. You'll then force them to accept him not because of a change of heart but because they don't want their daughter with a child and single. Let me give you a word of advise,marriage is a lot more than laying and carrying belle. You must make sure your parents give their blessing. Get your aunts and uncles to plead on your behalf. I'm saying this because if you let this man believe your parents opinions don't matter in your life,you may live to regret it later. When the real trials of marriage come,you'll have no one to go to and some callous men will remind you of how lowly you think of your own parents. And then you'll really look like a fool. It's not worth it. Your parents are the only ones that'll be there for you when push comes to shove You never want them someday to say "I told you so" |

DeepZone: Chineke God. How my name come enter? are you one of those burning their foods? I'm usually on at work on my laptop No my honey bun will never come to nairaland. He even hates to hear any stories from here. He teases sometimes when I'm home and he calls(Work part time) saying that I must be on the internet chatting with my "boyfriends" But he knows I have no relationship,not even emailing with anyone outside of here(male or female) This is just a hobby and I always log off when he gets home. and any day he ever tells me not to get on Nairaland, certainly I would do it out of love and respect just like Almondjoy did. |

Sisikill: You are so right. This is why I believe the word "housewife" ought to be thrown out the window. Any woman without an income outside of the home should be beaten upside the head. You should never give that much power to anyone. Because you may be stuck if your prince turns out to be a toad |
Family / Re: Nigerian Women SPOIL men with their over tolerance by Queenisha: 5:21pm On Sep 15, 2008 |
The article quoted here specifically talked of Islamic Women. Less than half of the Nigerian women population are in that category and for those who are,I can imagine that most educated Yoruba muslim women are no longer settling for the co wife/Pe'nis sharing nonsense. I must add that anywoman that allows her husband to bring in other wives in this day and age is plain stupid and anyone that's willing to be a second or third wife is even more stupid. |

someone talked of rotten food at parties.I have a story. I attended a wedding earlier this year where I was an asoebi wearer and we did the serving and all. We were setting the buffet tables and I opened up this aluminium pan of very repulsive looking jollof rice. It looked like someone just boiled white rice and sprinkled some palm oil on it without mixing it properly. It looked bad and on closer look,it smelt bad too. I quietly took the pan and hid it somewhere so no one would serve it. Before I knew it another lady had found it and placed it on the table. I quietly carried it and placed it near the trash. Sadly this wedding ran out of food fairly quickly and before I knew it people started eating from this rotten pan of rice and I immediately told people around that both that rice and the Ugba (Igbo salad) out on the table smelt bad. Sadly,I know 4 people that attended the wedding that ended up with diarrhoea for 2 straight days. |

omoge: I arrived early at a party to help my friend cook for an "umunna party" holding at her home. This woman was crushing and putting endless maggi cube in the vegetable soup. I lost count after the 10th one. I never use maggi in my soup,that's not the way I was taught. I only use 1 cube to season the meat and that's it but my dear ,even my own husband and all the other men were "praising" the soup until during the drive home,I told my man that soup had over 10 maggi cubes and he shouted. |

Two reputations one must not have 1.Being known as a thief 2.Being known as a glutton AKA "hungry person" Tufia let people say I'm poor, badly dressed, drive junky car, have bad hair,I can handle those But to gain reputation as madam food for party,that one na blemish wey go follow you and your children's children till death. @ original poster, people called you names but you spoke the truth. Some Nigerians are downright low when it comes to food. In my town here in the USA, there's a lady that is number one in that department and I've personally seen a host on 2 ocassions, at 2 different parties ask her to wait till the party is over before wrapping up her take away container. She doesn't use plates. She uses an aluminium pan to pack hers. She'll collect puff puff in polythene bags and store them under the table and put bottles of malt in her purse. First off,we're not big party goers and my man would never go to a party of anyone he's not close friends with. That's just his policy. I always cook and bring to most parties that I've been to here in the US, that's the way we do it here and at the end, the host asks the ladies and everyone to take any leftovers. I've also held birthday parties and christenings and asked people to take food or actually wrapped foods and given to people because it can be a lot to store but folks taking foods from parties of people they don't even know that well and worse in the middle or beginning of the party,is just low. |

I don't know why all these people have a need to bash Nigerian men continually. Haba! I know some of them are nothing to write home about , but same thing applies to men from other areas and some women too. There are still many good Nigerian men out there. |

aoife: abeg go sidon for dorty! which white man? The ones that divorce and remarry many times over. Polygamy is not a cure for promiscuity because promiscuity and a lustful eye led to polygamy in the first place. Polygamous men still maintain women on the outside when they choose One wife should be enough so a man doesn't need to lust after others. call them mistresses , call them second and 3rd wives, there's no difference. The only difference is where they live. And the color of skin has absolutely nothing to do with it. The LDS sect that are polygamous here in America are all white men. How do you explain that? |
Culture / Re: One Woman, Two Husbands In Ijawland. by Queenisha: 2:32am On Sep 15, 2008 |
We can share every other thing but the only thing in our lives that we cannot share is our wives. When we were growing up we promised that we were going to get married to one woman. That was our heart’s desire but God didn’t make it possible. Today we are married to identical beautiful twins from the same parents. We are more like friends and we don’t see ourselves as couples. We don’t hide anything from each other. In fact, we have been able to inspire others through our marriage. deepzone,I took the pain to read through this whole article and the title is very deceptive. I know Ijaws can be difficult to deal with in present day Nigeria where they feel we owe them something but this story here is a very heart warming story and I can't figure out why you thought to title it deceptively. |
