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)

Checked On Me.

Hello dear friends, it's been a more than three days something, right? Please, pardon me; many chips came down at almost the same time, however, I specifically thank God for the grace He's blessed me with, and the people builders He deliberately placed around me for such a time as this! So, let's  go into the gist of tonight: In the year 2017, I became friends with Tolu Josh(real name) during a youth national convention. We grew into being good friends from the casual level things. He probably would have liked that we went past the platonic stage, but I didn't take too much notice. Some months into our friendship, my phone was stolen and I had to use a makeshift phone. During the time I used the makeshift, Tolu called to check on me having not heard from me for a while. I picked the call, did like I knew it was him and appreciated him. I did that because I'd eventually know the person las las 😂. Afterwards, I went further and saved his name on the makeshift as ...

HONESTLY, HE SAW IT.

You know, we have been given a target to make which means all hands are on deck to make this work. So, if you have anyone who is interested in doing ICT courses, please send my number (07080256903) to them, and I will be glad to attend to them. 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...

MOUTH ACCIDENT.

Hello everyone, trust you had a great night. I thank God for keeping us all through the night, He is worthy to be praised. Clears throat! So I went for a carol service in my mum's church yesterday, and trust me, I had a good time(lol). I felt at the time I joined the service that God planned it for me as a gift specially from Him to me,don't be jealous; ask for yours too. Earlier yesterday, my mum had sent me two songs to listen to and know word for word(musically, we call that scoring a song). Honestly guys, I didn't score the songs as I was supposed to. Reason was I had my hands full at my desk, what I did was just to listen to one of the songs so as to be able to sing along. I wasn't self aware that my mum was serious when she told me that I'd be a guest in her own church, and would be leading the two songs(oops!). Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours and finally, the awaited time came. We got to the Church about 30 minutes into the programme a...
