PSA: You Can’t Travel Around Nigeria Without These Things

This year, I’m committed to making as much noise as possible to get you guys to travel around Nigeria. I already started the good work leading you people up North. But before I tell you about all the places you can go and all the food you can eat, here are the travel essentials you’ll need to survive travelling around Nigeria.

Pockets, to put your pride in and beg after you’ve spent three hours getting to a tourist attraction. Only to find out that somebody, somewhere decided to shut it off to the general public. Which of course does not include white tourists.

Your Nigerian passport – You might think you don’t need this until you find yourself in Badagry trying to explain to Customs officers that you are not an illegal immigrant from Cameroon just because you are a Lagosian who doesn’t speak Yoruba.

Slippers, for when you need to trek from one town to the other because you didn’t hire a cab for the day, and there is absolutely no public transport in the town.

Snacks in every possible piece of luggage you carry. Because you’ll be hungry in a hotel somewhere in Ondo and they’ll tell you that the cook has closed at 7 pm or that there is no food at all in the kitchen.

Google maps, because you’ll enter a cab, keke or bike whose driver will swear up and down that he knows where you are going to. Only for the two of you to end up in a village in the outskirts of town.

Extra cash for unforeseen circumstances, like having to pay two times the regular entrance fee to get into a tourist attraction because touts have overrun it. And if you have no extra cash to spare and a very low tolerance for bullshit you need to eat extra food in the morning so you can have energy to fight for your right.

If you are travelling in a group, someone who speaks the language of the city you are visiting comes in very handy. So at least when you are getting swindled by a seller because they notice you are a foreigner they’ll do it with conscience when they realize one of their own is in your group.

A power bank for your power bank and a ton of extra batteries for your camera. Because you’ll be constantly blown away by just how beautiful this country is and you’ll want to record every moment of it.

Imodium and Flagyl because you’ll want to try as much local food as you can and your stomach that is used to eating rice every day of the week will revolt. When this happens if you are lucky you’ll be in your hotel room if you are not you’ll be halfway up some ancient hill with a tour guide screaming at you to ‘enter bush’.

A strong resolve to not give up on Nigeria as a whole when you discover how run down the so-called National museums are. Or when a ranger tells you that the federal government just decided to cut funding for a National Park because they had a small fight with the governor of that state.

Tissues to clean your tears when you find yourself lost and stranded in the middle of the night in a foreign town. And a stranger opens up his home to you, feeds you, puts you on the right track the next morning and refuses to collect a kobo from you. Most importantly didn’t use you for ritual in your sleep as Nollywood would make you believe.

An open mind to allow you enjoy other cultures that are so different from yours. If they tell you only virgins are allowed to cross a certain path take it like that.

Now that you are strapped go forth and explore. Don’t forget to share all of your wonderful adventures with us.

I Made A Couple Of New Year’s Resolutions With My Kitchen

Like the average Nigerian man, I recognize that cooking is a lot of work and I absolutely refuse to do it. Unluckily for me, I’m a woman, so I don’t get to marry some unsuspecting woman who has to cook for me for the rest of our lives in the name of marriage.

Asides hating how to cook, I’m also broke. Which means spending the little I earn on eating out is going to have me living on the streets unable to pay my rent if I continue. In the spirit of new year new me, I decided to make a couple of resolutions with my kitchen that will save me from moving back into my parents’ house in disgrace before the end of the year.

Anything I jam in my freezer and fridge I must eat.

Whether it’s starting to smell funny o. Whether it’s been in my freezer for two months o. I must eat whatever I see before buying fresh food. And if it gives me diarrhoea for two days, well something must kill a man.

By fire, by force I must cook something every single day.

Ok let me not deceive myself, every other day. Even if it’s just to boil egg or water I must sha use my cooker.

Even when there is no rice at home, there is rice at home.

I made this into a poster and used it as my screensaver. So that whenever I pick up my phone to order food, I’ll remember that I don’t have money for TFC.

To make a big pot of stew once in at least two weeks.

See you really can’t go hungry with stew in your freezer. Even though it means I’ll be eating either white rice or spaghetti for two weeks straight when I could be eating fire Amala from Olaiya, at least I’m sha eating. Rice no dey kill person.

Cook like I’m Jesus trying to feed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.

Which means spending less on foodstuff and making it last longer. How to make this possible without eating 0-0-1 I sha haven’t figured out yet.

I’m going to keep it simple and not form Master Chef.

For someone who doesn’t like to cook, I don’t know why it’s on the rare occasion I cook that I decide to prove I’m Gordon Ramsay. Halfway through chopping carrots up for ‘Jambalaya rice’ I just give up. So I’ll be sticking to my rice and stew and Jollof rice.

Take my sweet time meal prepping.

Meal prepping might be the worst part of cooking so on days I want to cook I’ll just not do anything else. I’ll wake up in the morning chop onions, sleep wake up and blend the tomatoes.

You people should help me pray that I keep the same energy till at least April. What other resolutions have you guys been making?

Read This Before You Travel Up North

It’s a new year and I’m here to make noise about you people getting off your asses and seeing more of Nigeria. At least before they give you your Canada visa and you tell us ‘e go be‘ you should see what the tea plantations of Gembu look like and just how blue Wikki warm spring is. The teacher’s daughter in me could never miss out on an opportunity to teach you people good manners. So here are a couple of things I thought you should know before you head up to Northern Nigeria.
Everyone in Northern Nigeria is not Hausa.

Please don’t attempt to use the three phrases you learned from your only Hausa friend while talking to a Margi person
The whole of Northern Nigeria isn’t being ravaged by Boko Haram or herdsmen, so don’t listen to your friends that keep shouting it isn’t safe.

That doesn’t mean you should just skip into a state like Borno casually o, do your googles. Read up on the latest news reports coming from there.
Try to respect yourself.

If you are in a town where they have rules like once it’s past six everyone shouldn’t wear slippers again, then don’t wear the slippers. If you can’t do that then don’t go there.
You know how you call all Northern looking men Aboki in your city? Keep that nonsense there.

It’s just plain disrespectful.
Learn how to keep your ignorance to yourself.

If you thought Northern Nigeria was all brown grass and cows, there is no need to let all the locals you meet know that you didn’t know any better.
Not everyone is Muslim, a very large percent of Northerners are actually Christians.

So except you are sure someone is Muslim, keep your Assalamualaikum to yourself.

Google maps works great in cities like Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt but will betray you when you find yourself in a village in Jos.

So let the locals show you around, and if you have money MONEY just get a guide.

The popular places like Yankari and Kajuru Castle are great but there’s so much more to see.

Going to Abuja and Kaduna ten times doesn’t count as exploring the north.
It’s ridiculously beautiful and you are going to ask yourself several times why it took you so long to come see it.

Seriously what are you waiting for?
If you want evidence that northern Nigeria is not just brown grass and cows before you go, then you need to see Up North. Watch the trailer below.

10 Cheap Meals To Keep You Satisfied When You Inevitably Go Broke This January

At the end of last year, you were most likely paid your December salary really early in the month. You were super stoked because that meant you could flex as hard as you wanted during the festive period.

And flex you did.

Forgetting that that salary was also supposed to last you throughout the next month.

Now you’re broke, even though it’s the only the second week of January. You’re losing weight because you’ve been forced to go on a diet by your near-empty bank account. If this describes your current situation, I’m here to help.

Here is a a list of 10 cheap meals that’ll keep you satisfied until January salary enters.

1. Bread and butter

Throw in a 50cl bottle of Pepsi and you get the bricklayer special!

2. Cabin biscuits and Milk

Pour the milk in the biscuits (like a human) or crush the biscuits and throw them in the milk (like a f***ing psychopath) to get a delicious bowl of what hungry boarding school students decades ago affectionately called biscuit flakes (even though the end result couldn’t be further from being flaky).

3. Cabin biscuits and sardines

Squeeze your face all you want, but I can personally vouch for this outrageous but totally delicious combo.

4. Raw instant noodles soaked in cold water for like 40 minutes.

Is it kinda disgusting? Yes. Will you gag the first few times you try it? Also yes. But it does get better after a while, and you really don’t have a choice because you’re broke. So shut up and learn to love the taste of vomit.

5. Eba mixed with palm oil and pepper

Pouring the oil and pepper in during the eba-making process. I’ve never tried it myself but I imagine it’ll taste a lot like stale palm oil flavoured cotton candy.

6. Raw instant noodles.

Because who has all that time (and technical know-how) to actually cook it, right? Just take it out of the pack and eat it like a snack. No one will judge you (too much).

7. Mayonnaise

Just Mayonnaise. Eat it straight out of the jar or put it in a bowl so you can lie that it’s ice cream if you get caught. And even if you do get caught, you’re a (broke) grown-ass adult and you can do whatever you want.

8. Butter

Just butter. If you like some crunch in your munch (and don’t mind a little diabetes when you hit 50), throw some ground sugar in the mix. Eat it straight out of the container or put it in a bowl so you can lie that it’s custard if you get caught. And even if you do get caught, you’re a (broke) grown-ass adult…

9. Bread and Gala

Works with any sausage roll, really. For when the bread and butter/mayo combo becomes too mainstream.

10. Salad

Did you really think I was going to end this without including some healthy greens? The best thing about salads (apart from their high nutritional value) is that you don’t have to cook them. Just cut up and enjoy. Too lazy to cut? Eat the ingredients individually and wash it down with a cold bottle of salad cream.

No need to thank me, you guys. I’m just…

Ten Cooking Hacks Only Your Nigerian Mum Could Have Taught You

It’s no debate that Nigerian mums are one of a kind, so is their style of parenting. Only a Nigerian mum would be able to find something you’ve been searching for, for 2 hours in two minutes. Only a Nigerian mum could also have taught you these cooking tips.
How to remove a hot pot from the top of the cooker with your bare hands and not get burned.

Only God knows how many times you burned your fingers trying to learn this one.
How to use your eye to gauge that you’ve put enough salt in the soup before you even taste it.

Only a Nigerian mum will be able to cook fire jollof rice when she is fasting and can’t put any food in her mouth.
How to make use of every drop of groundnut oil no matter what it was used to fry.

Throw away groundnut oil in whose house? If it’s dodo you keep it for another dodo, if it’s chicken you use it to make stew, if it’s fish you can still use it for fish stew.
How to use your sixth sense to know that the food you are cooking is done.

No need to open the pot or taste it, they’ll just tell you Sola put off that stew in ten minutes.
Not to ever in your life throw stock water away.

Even if it’s stock water from gizzard you must keep it.
How to put just the right amount of water in beans or rice when you are boiling it.

It’s never too much or too little it’s always just enough.
How to fry chicken, turkey or fish and dodge the oil splashes like a pro.

If oil still splashes on you when you are frying then you must be a learner.
How to tell which pineapple will be sweet and which one won’t just by looking at it.

Not even just pineapple, any fruit at all.
How to tell if food is about to go bad before mere humans can tell.

Your mum will tell you that your food will go bad in an hour if you don’t eat it and in exactly one hour that food will spoil.
What other cooking hacks did your Nigerian mum teach you?

This Is How Nigerians Like Their Cereal

Like the chicken and the egg, the question of what comes first between cereal and milk will forever be debatable. But beyond that like with everything Nigerian, Nigerians can be extra af about how they eat their cereal. We asked 9 Nigerians to tell us about it and we got some weird answers.
I can’t eat any cereal without hot water. I don’t even care, especially golden morn the only way to eat it is with hot water. If Garri didn’t turn into eba when you put hot water that’s how I’d drink it too. – Rachel
I don’t think I have any particular preferences. Na anyhow I dey chop cereal. I like it with plenty sugar sha, but not too much milk. I used to take a lot of milk and then I turned 22 and became lactose intolerant. But once in a while, I eat it like that because something must kill a man. – Segun
First of all, I’ll like to state for the record that the milk goes first and anyone who does otherwise is not really ok. The only way I can eat cereal is if the water is ice-cold. Lik, when you can see ice block that kind of thing. If there’s ice block in the freezer I’ll put it too. – Tayo
I like to put just a bit of coffee in my cornflakes every morning. It gives it a very nice kick. – Ronke
Just forget milk completely, cereal and milk is actually very overrated. If you want to use enjoyment to kill yourself put milo instead of milk. See ehn Milo and golden morn is what they serve in heaven. – Richard
I can’t eat cereal if the milk in it isn’t thick like ogi. I can put like three big spoons of milk and a drop of water. Sometimes I even use yoghurt instead of milk. But obviously because of the way I take milk I don’t eat cereal when owu is blowing. – Tolani
The best way to eat cereal is to put milk and let it soak properly. Some people might think I’m mad but when it’s very soggy and wet that’s the best time to eat cereal. – Charles
Regardless of how you eat your cereal this episode of Nigerians Talk, will have you heading to the supermarket to buy a box of Golden Morn Puffs.

Please Why Do Nigerians Believe These Weird Food Myths

Nigerians love a good myth. We are not sure why they do or who keeps coming up with them but they are always hilarious.
That if you drink coke after eating a mango or drinking garri you’d die.

Till today I’ve sha still not met anyone who has tried it.
That if you microwave food without a cover radioactive waves will enter the food and give you cancer.

Radioactive o! Just imagine.
Then there’s another one about how using a microwave can kill the nutrients in your food.

Just like that.
That people who are short didn’t eat enough beans when they were younger.

And people who are very tall ate too much beans. So if you want tall children, forget about genetics just feed them beans.
That if you eat the eyes of a fish your own eyes will become big and you’ll become a dullard.

Remember ‘Olodo rabata, oju eja lo mo je’ We are pretty sure that’s where this myth started.
That if you swallow agbalumo or orange seed a tree will start growing in your stomach.

Can you remember how much you cried the first time you swallowed a fruit seed by mistake?
Then you must not swallow chewing gum too, if you do it’ll tie up all of your intestines.

Ordinary chewing gum o, not super glue.
That if you eat okro or any kind of draw soup you’ll just be slow.

Just because the soup is drawing.
That eating snails will slow down your progress in life.

The same way snails move slowly is the same way your life will just be moving slowly.
You can’t eat food that has fallen on the floor because the devil has eaten out of it.

If you eat it you’ll go and explain to God at the gate of heaven why you were sharing food with Satan.
You must always eat your meat last. If you eat your meat before finishing your food that means you are greedy and you lack home training.

But if you do your research you’ll find that those people who eat their meat before their food don’t have manners.
If you break a coconut don’t drink the water, or give it to your children to drink o. Because apparently it makes people dull.

Can you see Nigerians will blame everything but themselves for not having sense.
We are pretty sure these are not the only food myths we have. Please what else did we leave out?

If You Love Sugar More Than Anything, This Is For You

There’s nothing wrong with having a sweet tooth. But it’s very important for you to recognise when your own has gone from sweet tooth to sweet teeth. If you can relate with more than 5 things on this list, it might be time to seek help. Diabetes is real.
This is how you add more sugar to your garri after you’ve already put in ten cubes.

You’ll now taste it and add even more.
This is you once you’ve not had sugar for twenty four hours.

And you don’t think you have an addiction. You better seek help.
If you drink one bottle of water in a day that means you’ve had 5 bottles of coke.

Any small thing you’ll open coke. If they allow you, you can even use it to brush your teeth.
You always have something sweet on you no matter where you are.

If it’s not sweet, it’s chocolate, if it’s not chocolate it’s chewing gum.
You can eat cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then wake up the next day and eat it for breakfast again.

There’s sha egg and butter inside so it’s a balanced diet.
This is your face when someone asks you don’t you think you are having too much sugar.

Too much sugar? Is that even a thing? What does that mean?
You have to eat something sweet after every single meal.

Even if the meal was something sweet like custard, you’ll still eat chocolate after.
You never run out of sweet things to eat because you have them stashed in every corner of your house and office.

If you even look under your bed you’ll find something.
Ice-cream doesn’t count as comfort food to you because you eat it everyday.

When you are looking for comfort the best you can do is to eat two tubs instead of one.
When everyone is buying a bag of popcorn at the movies you have to buy two or three bags.

It’s not as if you have two heads, the popcorn they sell at the movies is just never enough.
When you hear someone say something like sugar spoils their appetite.

How is that even possible?
When you think of how much you spend on buying sweet things every month.

It’s sha worth it to you.
When someone tastes something you are eating then says that it’s too sweet.

They should just face their front, they obviously don’t like the finer things of life.
On a final note, brothers and sisters in the Lord, this isn’t all jokes. Drink more water, watch your sugar intake and stay healthy.

What’s The Difference Between 3500 and 350 Naira Amala?

For some reason–probably because it’s the food of gods and not men–Amala’s popularity is at an all-time high in popular culture. So much so that it has become a staple menu addition to several fine dining restaurants. The only difference between Amala served at these restaurants and Buka Amala? It comes with a much higher price tag than your standard Buka. Sometimes ten times more.

People have also argued that Amala loses its magic and just doesn’t taste as good when consumed anywhere else but your mum’s kitchen or in a sweltering Buka served by a rude and overweight middle-aged woman. I decided to find out for myself.

Amala at Olaiya

If you ask Lagosians where to get the best amala, 3 out of 5 will point you to Olaiya. Naturally, that was my first stop. For those who have known Olaiya since its inception, the first thing you’d notice is that it looks nothing like it used to when it opened.

The old Olaiya looked like this.

But now,

Glow up, complete.

I walked in at noon, just in time to meet the beginnings of the lunch crowd. But even without the lunch crowd, anyone familiar with Olaiya knows they maintain a steady stream of customers from the time their doors open at 10 am till they close at 11 pm.

I got on the food queue and to my surprise, the line for amala was almost non-existent. Great for me, because I got to be served from the top of the pot, where the Amala is at finest. I should point out that any Amala place that wraps its Amala instead of serving it straight from the pot, isn’t worth your time. The Amala is to be scooped out of the pot and spread out with a spoon in the middle for your soup to sit pretty.

I ordered ₦150 worth of Amala and made my way to the soup place. Gbegiri and Ewedu with Shaki and beef brought my bill to a total amount of 350. I noticed there was barely any Gbegiri in my plate which in my opinion goes with Ewedu like bread and butter.

So I asked for more.

The woman serving gave me a once-over, then shoved my plate at me and screamed ‘nezz pesson’.

I couldn’t even be upset because no one goes to Olaiya for their stellar customer service, you only go for the food and because their jazz is still working.

The theory is; the more horrible the customer service at a Buka, the better the food.

The Amala was hot and fresh as expected but could have been softer and fluffier. I also couldn’t get over the fact that there was more stew in my plate than either Gbegiri or Ewedu. Out of curiosity, I ran a quick poll on our Instagram to find out if there were people out there who thought Ewedu and Stew was a better pair than Ewedu and Gbegiri. To my surprise, 50% of people went with stew.

To those people, I say you need the Lord in your lives.

A couple of forkfuls in and I soon forgot that my plate was considerably lacking in Gbegiri and my Amala wasn’t as soft as a baby’s bottom. The stew I was sulking over was savoury and I might have enjoyed it more paired with white rice. I also didn’t need to chew the Shaki until I lost feeling in my jaw. And the beef was actual beef, not some mysterious cow part that Bukas usually try to pass as beef.

The pepper was a little overpowering but I’m from Delta so I guess what might be overpowering for me must be just right to people who love their pepper. For all my complaints I still managed to clean my plate out which says all you need to know about the Amala at Olaiya.

Abula at NOK

The first thing I noticed about the Amala at Nok is that it’s not even referred to as Amala on the menu, but Abula. As if to immediately remind you that you are not eating just any other Amala, but Amala that went to school abroad. And at 3500 for a plate, it had better have gone to school at Harvard and gotten a Masters from Yale.

Quick fun fact: Abula is actually the scientific name for the soul-snatching combo of Amala, Gbegiri and Ewedu.

If you are about to shell out ₦3500 on a plate of Amala, your first thought is ‘well it better be mind-blowing’. And once you get over the fact that you are paying at least ten times more than you’d pay for a plate of amala at a standard Buka, you’ll realize that the Amala at Nok is actually amazing.

Asides from the fact that the Amala feels like it might have been made in a cotton candy machine, the space at Nok makes you feel less guilty about the fact that you are probably disappointing your mother by paying 3500 naira for Amala.

Nok describes itself as a contemporary, pan-african restaurant, and you can tell that the decor is heavily influenced by this. Especially with the outdoor space. Even the waitresses are dressed in funky looking Olekus. The best part of the decor for me is the barstools which look like interesting wooden drums.

Abula Island

Once again I found my plate to be lacking in Gbegiri but it was cram full of assorted meat which made up for that and the fact that I got less Amala than I thought I was going to.

That being said there is a very distinguishable difference in taste between the Amala at Nok and the one at Olaiya.

If I were to conduct a taste test I would also bet that 9 out of ten people will immediately be able to distinguish between both plates of amala. At the risk of angering several Olaiya loyalists, I’m going to come right out and say I preferred the Amala at Nok.

3500 for Amala, worth it?

So I asked the exact same question on Instagram and got the most hilarious answers.

Even though the general consensus from most people was that they’d rather die than pay a whole 3500 for ordinary Amala, we got a couple of people who actually thought it might be worth it.

As for me? I’d say hell yes. I’m not sure what exactly did it for me. Whether it was the fact that the waitress attending to me asked me 5 times whether everything was fine while the mummy in Olaiya refused to give me extra Gbegiri. It could also be the fact that the beef, Ponmo and Shaki were cooked to perfection. The kind of Shaki that won’t splash stew in your eye because it’s not fighting you back when you are trying to eat it. Could also be that the amala was actually just really great. Asides from the fact that the plate was cram full with assorted meat which already won my heart, the consistency of the amala was pretty great. It was fluffy and soft, just the way the Lord intended. As to whether or not it’s overpriced, that remains moot. But by ‘fine dining’ standards in Lagos, I’d say it was well worth the price.

If you want to try the Amala at Nok, you have a three-hour window between 12 and 3 pm on Thursdays.

Would you pay 3500 for a plate of Amala? Well, you tell me.
