Egusi and Ogbono Soup Combo

Image
Someone may be wondering how this works. I was once like you until Osas; the awesome lady in the pix introduced me too. I had watched people place  orders asking for a mixture of different soups (half ogbono, half egusi or half okro and half egusi) all in one plate and then they sit down and gulp everything down with the right kind of swallow (poundo yam, eba or akpu). By the way, these soups and meals are common to Nigerians. Well, I gave it a try and it made all the sense in the world. However, I am a fan of vegetables, so I kinda stick to ordering efo riro and egusi or I play safe with my fav; afang soup. What's the benefit I hear someone ask? A perfect and adequate supply of the nutrients contained in both soups. Anyway, to the main gist 😀; Early in the month, while listening to Minister Tphils as I got to work, I had to pause and take my confession for the year 2020. I usually love to play Pastor Lawrence Oyor's Eagles chant (So

The choir needed someone to make them some special blouses for an event the Church was having and my dear elder sister excitedly said I could do it. * That was a huge open door for me * I was so excited because I wasn't sewing for just one person.

The next thing she said, made me weak at my knees. She said; I will like you to attend the Lagos Fashion school. Don'

I sat beside a little boy and his mum. The boy was a little above 1 year. As the car drove on, I heard the boy say "I want biscuit". I had to look in his direction because he asked with so much authority. There was no trace of fear or doubt. He asked like someone who had a clear understanding of his rights and privileges. * A child doesn't care how his needs will be met, he just cries or calls out, same for us also, cos of Christ, we can ask, knowing that GOD will get it done. It's not our duty to discover how or when but to BELIEVE . He repeated it again, "I want biscuit". I turned to his mum to see what she will do. Immediately, his mum reached into her bag and brought a piece out and gave him. The child knew without doubt that when he asked his mum would respond. * When we ask without wavering, we get answers* * Remember the Bible verse that says "we have cos we ask  not" James 4:2* You might be saying you've bee
