Elijah Adeoye: He’s One Of Us, And He Needs Our Help

Funmie sent me this information. While I have never met Elijah, Funmie knows his personally. Funmie didn't tell me to put up this blog post, and I did not even tell her that I'll be putting up this blog post, so when she sees it, she'll do in usual Funmie fashion and call me to scream on the phone. Those of us who went to school here (or are still going to school here) know that the man called school loan is a beast and a freak of nature. Elijah wants to pursue a master's degree course in Read More

iCook: Fried Stew + White Rice With Johnsonville Andouille Sausages

iCook: Fried Stew + White Rice With Johnsonville Andouille Sausages

I cooked! You know I love making up new foods. Well this time, in honor of Mardi Gras (which is coming up!), I went for regular Nigerian fried stew with fully cooked Andouille Sausage from Johnsonville, which is one of their Split Rope Sausage flavors. This sausage, from Johnsonville, is unlike most other sausage in its category.To start,  it's fully cooked and packs great flavor but unlike most other fully cooked sausage, Johnsonville uses absolutely no fillers which is how their sausages get Read More

I Failed. I Failed Woefully.

Remember when no one sent me message but I still decided to start a 10-day Instagram selfie challenge? Well, I did it for all of 3 days ... and then, I don't know what happened. Igwe's brother has laughed at me tire. This is exactly what my mommy would call, "Trouble dey sleep, iyanga dey go wake am up." I didn't get the idea for this selfie challenge from anywhere. I didn't do it because I wanted to do what someone else was doing. Nah uh. It's like I just said to myself, "Vera, you've not Read More

iCook: Knorr Pasta Sides Cheddar Broccoli

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Giant Eagle. All opinions are 100% mine. Summary of this post: WOW!!! When I got offered a chance to write about Knorr Pasta Sides Cheddar Broccoli, I was excited because I absolutely love trying new things and telling you about them - yes, of course, food included - and while I was not expecting it to be bad, I did not expect it to be this good either. If you're wondering why the portion looks small, it's because I was begging Igwe to Read More

If Missing Malaysian Flight 370 Were Nigerian …

If Missing Malaysian Flight 370 Were Nigerian …

By now, even people who live under a rock must have heard about the Malaysian Flight 370 that literally went missing on its way to Beijing. And the question on every logical person's mind is, which native doctor did they use to make the plane disappear, and what else can he make disappear? Can he disappear pot bellies? Can he make my ex's new flame disappear into thin air - or better yet, turn into a tuber of yam? Can he make my debt just go away? I wonder. I have watched with interest - Read More
