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)

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...
