The great part about being a chef is you get to cook or bake like a pro #chef

I lived in the northern part of Nigeria for more than two and half decades, here are the foods I miss so much;

- Dambu nama or kaji: Shredded and spiced dried meat. When you pour these over your rice ehh.

- Lettuce salad: It's usually a mixture of sliced lettuce, tomatoes, onions, suya spice and oil. You will mix all up. If you want, add shredded meat or chicken.

- Wara: it's made from soyabeans and fried. Then spiced with yaji. Wayooooo

- Dan wake: Dumplings made from beans. It's served sprinkled with oil and yaji. You would think it's meat

- Fura da nono: Gotten from cows. There was this lady that sells at the front of my mom's shop those days. I would buy, add peanuts, banana and honey and blend until creamy. Wallahi dadi gari shi.

- Waina: I had the best in FCE Zaria kaduna state. When I discovered they made the best, I bought everyday. I preferred suya spice sprinkled on it. Absolutely yummy.

- Kilishi: They make the best, no cap. Granddad always asked for it whenever we traveled. My family love it.

- Tuwo masara: We always mixed it with cassava. Pairs well with any Nigeria soup. Try it.

- Gurasa: it's a flat bread, oiled and rubbed with suya spice. You can have them with cabbage salad and chicken suya.

- Suya: The northerners makes the best

I left the north, but the north did not leave me

I was teaching a class one day, and I began asking the students questions.

👨🏾"What do you want to become in the future?"

"A DOCTOR!"
"A FAMOUS PILOT!"
"A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN!"
"A LAWYER!"
"A PRESIDENT!"
"A MILLIONAIRE!"
"A CHEF!"

The students enthusiastically shouted their respective choices, their voices overlapping. But amid the excited responses, there was a girl who sat near the window, his chin resting on her palms.
She appeared lost in thought and had a sad expression.

👨🏾"Hey! You over there, what do you want to become in the future?"

I walked over and stood in front of her. She stood up weakly and whispered,

👧🏽"I want to live."

The whole class burst into laughter.

"Who doesn't want to live?"

one of the students at the back shouted mockingly.

Another round of laughter filled the classroom.
I calmed the class down and turned back to the Girl.

👨🏾 "Does it mean you don't care about your future? Look at your classmates—they're already planning their futures, and you should too."

The girl looked at me with tears in hee eyes and said,

👧🏽"I have cancer, and my doctor said tomorrow is my last day."

Silence engulfed the classroom. I was stunned by the revelation.
I held her close and hugged her tightly. Imagine knowing that you have just a day to live—the feeling is heartbreaking.
The other students gathered around and hugged her in turn.

A few days later, we received the news that she had passed away.
My heart has always hesitated to share this story, but it's become evident that countless individuals face unimaginable challenges every day.
If you ever find yourself in a position to put a smile on someone's face, please do not hesitate.

Let love lead.

Struggles of our Life

Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.

Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup.

Turning to her, he asked. "Daughter, what do you see?" "Potatoes, eggs and coffee," she hastily replied.

"Look closer", he said, "and touch the potatoes." She did and noted that they were soft.

He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.

Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.

"Father, what does this mean?" she asked.

He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity-the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.

"Which one are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?"

Moral: In life, things happen around us, things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it and what you make out of it. Life is all about leaning, adopting and converting all the struggles that we experience into something positive.
