Kanye West name baby girl North West
Hip hop star and fashion clothline boss, Kanye West had decided on the name Kaidence Donda West for their new baby girl, it's now being rumoured that she's ACTUALLY called North West. I think its pretty cool though, its a name that has to do with their meeting and where they're from, It has to reflect on their child. She is super ordinary North West.
BLACK WEST AND WHITE NORTH . I THINK IT SHOULD BE AN ANKARA PARTY WITH DBANJ AND OTHER AFRIQUES LIKE ME TO WEAR ANKARA FOR THE PARTY....L);
BADT SHARP NIGGA DON WITH HIN PIKIN MAMA BEFORE SHE BORN . NA GBEBORUN THOUGH, BUT ITS SURE A ROLE MODEL FATHER TO LOOK UP TO .

Cooking African Foods
Hello AfricanFood Lovers. We know so many of our youths now want to live in the good homes of those days ( our parents) . Yes learning how to make our homemade food is ot a bad idea.. check this out
I will be posting a series of topics on how to cook our African foods for african food lovers all around the world . Firstly, we take 4 foods:
Amala
Eba
Ewedu
Gbegiri
Amala
Recipe:
Powdered Elubo (black one this time)
cooking pot
two glasses of water (for 2 people)
Turning stick
Put d quantity of water u want to use in a pot, allow it to boil, use a small bowl to take out some boiled water, u might still need it in case yr amala turns our too hard while still on fire,then start adding the powdered elubo gradually, u can use one of yr clean fingers to feel it while still on fire to be sure its neither too soft nor too hard, if its too soft u can add more elubo, and if too hard add yr reserved hot water. leave it on fire for som mins, say 2 to 4mins, then bring it down from fire yr amala is ready! if well preserved in a cooler, it can stay for 24hrs
As for the white, this is easier
Recipe:
White powdered elubo (amala)
Water
turning stick
pot
put yr water on fire, allow it to boil, bring it down from fire, add yr powered elubo and continue turning it, add more elubo if necesary or more water it all depends on how hard/soft u want it to be, u have to really turn it very well so as to avoid lumbs and for it to turn out very smooth. then, u can wrap it in a nylon and put it in a cooler, so as to keep it warm.
EBA
1Purchase a reasonable quantity of cassava flour (known in Nigeria as garri).
2Get some potable water boiling.
3Once the water is boiled, transfer some of it into a bowl.
4As fast as you can, get the garri and pour it little-by-little into the steaming water in the bowl before you.
5Fill the bowl gradually with the flour till only a little water is left unabsorbed by the garri.
6At this stage, get a wooden stirrer (known as omorogun in Yoruba - one of the Nigerian major languages) and use it to stir the contents of the bowl till you have a relatively homogeneous mix.
7Depending on the texture of Eba you want, you could add more water or more garri as desired to give the perfect meal.
8After this step, your meal is ready and you can now settle to a beautiful meal of Eba and one of the numerous African stews available
yummmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
EWEDU
To cook ewedu is very easy but it can disappoint you by not turning out well sometimes. Traditionally speaking you'll need ewedu leaves, iru pete (the softer kind of locust bean), kanun (potash) dry/smoke fish as you desire, egusi (melon) (optional) and of course, water.
Pluck your ewedu and shred with knife. Put sufficient water on fire and add your potash. Dissolve your iru in water and sift, throwing away the sediment. Allow to boil. Put your shredded ewedu. Allow it to boil over and add your fish, then egusi. allow the egusi to cook for about 5 minutes then use your ijabe (ewedu broom) to chop it till the desired smoothness is achieved. Taste before you add salt as iru is usually coated with salt for preservation. After you have used the broom, let it not stay on fire for more than 1-2 minutes as it may relapse and it'll lose the drawness.
A simpler and more hygienic method I've adopted is: Simply blend the ewedu in your blender and add to already boiling water with kaun and iru. Leave for 2 minutes and add your fish and salt. Leave for another 3 minutes and you'll have your fresh ewedu. Fresh in the sense that it didn't stay too long on fire. The only demerit here is that I can't use egusi in this method. Whoever knows how and when to should come on board and teach me.
Please note that potash is to bring out its drawing nature and when overused will make the colour turn pale and uninviting. The taste will also be sharp, so it must be proportionate to the quantity of your ewedu. Bon Apetit
Gbegiri
Ingredients for Gbegiri Soup
150g Black Eyed or Brown Beans
1 small smoked Mackerel/Titus
1 tablespoon ground crayfish
1 big stock cube
1 cooking spoon palm oil
Pepper and salt (to taste)
Before you cook Gbegiri Soup
Ensure you have some Beef & Chicken Stew because the beef for the Gbegiri Soup comes from this stew.
Remove the beans coat and soak the beans for about 3 hours. This soaking makes the beans soft so that it cooks in less time. This way there will be no need to use potash to cook the beans. If you are using peeled and dried beans, you will need to soak it overnight.
Prepare other ingredients: pound/blitz the pepper and grind the crayfish.
Cooking Directions
Put the peeled and soaked beans into a sizeable pot. Pour water to cover the beans and start cooking at medium heat.
While the beans is cooking, prepare the Ewedu Soup which is used to eat the Gbegiri Soup.
Cook the beans till they become so soft that it practically melts when you mash it with your fingers. This takes about 1 hour. You will need to top up the water from time to time but make sure the water is always at the same level as the beans. This ensures that you have just the right amount of water in the soup when the beans is done.
Mash the very soft beans with a potato masher. You can also blend it with your kitchen blender for a very smooth consistency. I do not like pouring the hot beans into my blender then pouring it back into the pot after blending. And it is not practical to wait for the beans to cool down, blend it and then continue cooking!
When you are happy with the smoothness of the beans, add the smoked fish, salt, pepper, crayfish, stock cube and palm oil.
Cover the pot and cook at medium heat for about 5 minutes or till the oil blends with the rest of the ingredients. This is when the oil changes from red to yellow.
Stir from time to time so it does not burn.
That's it! The Gbegiri Soup is done.
Dish the soup with Ewedu Soup, get the meat from your Beef & Chicken Stew and eat with Amala
