Ol boy cchinukw, don't believe some of these dodo nutritionists...And when you were(or were not) in the bording facilities, did you remember any of your friends falling over and dying from these foods???I would think not, and for your info, most of thesse nutritionists have not tried or followed anyone on a diet of these foods, so "don't believe the hype"...You ate these foods as well, and you are an example of what won't happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Original Skeepolah,
You cant be making this type of statement after your Papa has worked hard and sent you to school!
You know we are not a scientific people, and we only believe something is happening if and only if it happens right in front of our very eyes. And even then, we try our best to give it another nonsensical explanation.

So as far as you are concerned, from your above post, as long as no-one drops dead immediately after eating 'ogbonna', or 'cowleg' or some other 'delicacy', it is therefore good for you?
So those that die of atherosclerosis/ myocardial infarction after decades of eating blobs of saturated fats in Nigeria dont count?
Do you even know what is in the foods we are eating?
Are you aware of the life expectancy of Nigerians, after eliminating, murder , RTAs and infant mortality rates?
Do you know of any research at all on Nigerian diets?

If the answer to these questions is 'No', then I suggest you stop misleading people and perpetuaing myths.
You are killing people. From this your statement, you probably don kill like 3 or 4 people already!

Believe it or not, some people look up to you simply because you speak English and therefore, presumably, have gone to school.

We are most probably eating ourselves to death, fats, toxic waste, fertiliser chemicals and all.

Usually you see the guys smoking it, or barbecueing it, slowly ontop of newspapers over a drum fire. Meat so deliciously tender and juicy. Could drive you crazy.

I dont know if it is popular in the South but it is up North.

it's called "Asun" down here...... meat well peppered and bbqed.... and cut into small pieces and served with a tooth pick for sophistication...

.E belike say na guys from south-south dey like that thing cos all my friends and our househelp one time dey mak the thing with salt

living, bros, as far as I know, na condition dey make man pikin add salt for garri. For school if sugar scarce na to add just a little bit of salt to the small sugar wey pesin get.

If g-nut no dey, kuli-kuli go dey splendid.
