Eba Obsession

In its drinking form this Naija staple food is popular because its easy to prepare (Garri- the perfect fast food for people who are too lazy to cook). But in its cooked form as a 'swallow' it is notorious. Yeah, I say that because I've seen wifey eat it...and she eats it with a passion. When people are eating this meal, they just look funny. Don't believe me? Try snapping or videoing anyone grubbing eba with some sumptious soup; or just visit any hostel in any Nigerian state or federal University and check out what guys are grubbing when they're not too broke to make a pot of stew to go with it. The Internet even has proof! See for yourselves...




I want to believe that this was a bet or a stunt.



This scenario happens a lot in Naija higher instutions,
especially in hostels that function like a community.

I told you the meal always made one look like a moron.

 

Sometimes you can't just figure out how people
manage to make a mountain disappear!

Even oyinbos are not left out!

Edible Sanitary Pad??

I don't know about other countries, but this sanitary pad is probably the most famous amongst sanitary pads in Nigeria. It's become so popular that the word 'always' could be used to refer to any other brand of sanitary pad. When ever you hear the word 'Always' here in Nigeria, the first thing that comes to your mind is this product, which is also an international brand.

    

 

You can then imagine my shock when I came across this chocolate wafer below also called 'Always'!

Are these guys playing a joke or just being dumb about selecting a brand name for their product?

Seriously, I found it hard enjoying this wafer without thinking that I was munching on a sanitary napkin! 

Familiar Diet...

 

Allow me to introduce you to one of the staple diets of an average Nigerian bachelor!

Agege bread and 'tea'.

Don't worry if the 'tea' is actually a chocolate drink. As long as its brown, can take milk and sugar, it gets labelled as 'tea'!

WTH? Is this Food???

And I thought I ate a lot of crap when it comes to food. I don't know if the manufacturers of this food items took innovation and creativity a bit too far 'cause this bunch is wierd!

What on earth is this made of? Juice from the dried grass used to make a bird's nest?

Canned whole chicken? This looks like a desperate move to start something new!

Roaches in sauce? Uuuuurrgghh!!

So what on earth do you eat this with? If it was in Naija, would they take it with garri? I don't want to imagine.

Some people are either playing jokes or totally gone insane. Packaged eggs? Haba! Check out the stupid thing written on the label...
