SPINACH.


MY CHALLENGE WITH EWEDU!


One of my grandmothers calls me "omo oniye n'po (The child that has so many mothers)," of a truth, my mothers are plenty which transcribes into having many grandmothers.

So to the gist of today, I was at one of my grandmother's place yesterday to spend the night after work hours. I noticed that most times I see grandma, she always wants us to take amala and ewedu with stew(Yam flour and blended or mashed spinach) for dinner. For this reason, I always pray in my mind whenever I am going for Grandma not to suggest amala and ewedu with stew; of course, the prayers goes unanswered. I guess God wants me to take more of carbohydrates for such a time as this, lol!

As a result, my mind made me think that having a food restaurant where I manage won't be a bad idea. Did I mention that I am the one who prepares the amala? Oh yes! I have a professional degree in cooking amala, and it was conferred on me by my mum; smiles.

The first day I made ewedu in my entire life was at Grandma's place. Need I say it was a bomb? Yes, it was, and this was what led my mind into thinking that having an amala and ewedu restaurant will be a quick success. Lol! Ever since that first time, all my ewedu has been an imagination of ewedu: it is either too leafy, or watery or just not it. I don't know how to redeem my ewedu image with my grandma. Somebody help my Ewedu ministry o, the ewedu I made despite exerting enough strength just didn't cooperate with me. And now, I'm thinking of dropping my amala Restaurant Idea because of this ewedu brouhaha.

So, I will be waiting for your comments, prayers, advises and recommendations as to how to conquer this ewedu challenge.

Don't forget to like, share and most importantly comment on this page @dailywaka.blogspot.com.

I still remain Busolami.

    Tell Grandma to teach you how to prepare Ewedu na. And keep making the Ewedu every day till you become a professional (even if it's for your consumption only)

Hello guys!!! I have missed jisting you all about my daily activities. The reason is not far-fetched---- work schedules have been so tasking.

I am an IT Career Consultant, and I'll do my best to let them know what's best for them as regards the IT world. So to the gist of today, I found myself thinking about an incident that happened some months back. Sit back, relax and read. LOL! I had to see a friend in my neighborhood one cool evening, so I dressed up and got set to leave. Suddenly, I felt the urge to use the loo- I wanted to do the minor( to pee). Normally, I was supposed to go straight to the loo to do the minor in time and get on my way but I felt I could do it right there in the compound. So I took a bold but foolish step...

Thank God I did not do it.

Each day I get up from my bed, I find reasons to give thanks to God for sparing me. The minutes however differs; there are times it's so short, some other times,so long, and at some times it's just there. However, on some special days, I deliberately take a long while at the place of my devotions. I have discovered in times past that the longer time I spend at my devotion, the better day I have. It helps me keep my emotions in check- I can be very emotional. Okay! So to the story of today; I made up my mind to get to work early today, I set my alarm to wake me up gradually(I wake up gradually, lol), I finally left my house at 7:00am. Immediately, I rushed to the bus terminal to pick a bus or a bike;I didn't get to see that in time, favour finally beckoned at me, and I got a tricycle to convey me to where I was heading to-Agbado. I got a bike to transport me to the next stop at a very nice price too. When I got there, the Monday morning rush was so much that the queu...

Why I Stopped Writing For So Long!

Many a times, I want to express myself via writing. By God’s grace, I know I’m an articulate writer. I express myself better when writing than speaking. However, as soon as I set my mind to write, the enthusiasm drops and I’m wondering why I wanted to write. Some other times, I’m also thinking that what I want to write might be private.  You see, I’m privileged to have certain private and dynamic relationships with different kind of people. As such, I’m being careful of writing what will make these people think I’m writing about them. At the same time, I love being private - I also wouldn’t want to write and the smart Peeps in my corner add one plus one to make eleven. Lol.  Many reasons, right? Is it just me? Am I thinking too much? Am I caring too much? Am I too concerned? Am I am I? 🙈 Let’s go into what we have for us today. You see, sometime in the year 2021, my phone was stolen. That was like the third phone that got missing within the space of three years. Unfortunately...
