You don't need to cook always, but just know how to cook in case of incacity😊. On Sunday morning I came out to buy detergent for my cleaning when this guy called me. I know him from the neighboring estate maka arugoro m his landlord oru before ( I have worked for their landlord before). I asked him wetin carry him come our estate this morning and he replied FOOD. That he is looking for where to buy food. I took him to nke one woman na-ere nri na our estate but unfortunately the woman no open. So I started giving him suggestions of what to eat: "why not buy bread na mineral or buns; or better still buy noodles" And he told me that wetin dey hungry him na real food and not junks. Thinking na the guy man ji ego, I told him to check Chili's fast food or Mr Biggs, that I'm sure they will open, mana He said he will look for where to buy okpa because na those fancy restaurants na-ere nri costly. So I left him to continue his quest and went inside. Now, I don't know if he knows how to cook but was too lazy to cook or he doesn't know how to cook at all....but what I want to say to everybody, especially those men that believes that cooking bu a woman thing is that COOKING IS A SKILL EVERYBODY NEEDS. When our elder sister gave birth, I was the first person to cook and bring food to the hospital maka the hospital di closer to me than Mama Ogoo. She just told me the soup to make and I delivered. In fact, I started Omugwo before Mama Ogoo....but na she dey later give Omugwo things and not me. And she didn't thought it wise to share some with me. That woman ji style di selfish but onwero. 🤣 Let's continue..... So, when I was in the world, as in, when I was still doing 'bring down the camera and I wish you are here with me' with my ex🤣, anytime she will be visiting, I usually prepare for her coming like the way John the Baptist prepared for the coming of Jesus; I dey cook and make fruit zobo. A different kind of romance. Ngwa, ka anyi wepugodi romance aside....I have never been and will never be in that guy's shoe. Imagine going from estate to estate in search of food, adi m handicap? Well, e no concern me shaa. I finished cleaning that day, brought out Ogbono soup and did small portion control of garri.😋😋 Yours Faithfully, Ben-Smile

There are several homemade insecticides that you can make with natural ingredients to protect your plants from pests without resorting to chemicals. Here are some easy and effective recipes: 1. Garlic insecticide Garlic is a natural insect repellent and has antibacterial and antifungal properties. Recipe: Crush 3 cloves of garlic and mix them with 1 liter of water. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or overnight. Then, strain it and add 1 teaspoon of neutral soap to increase effectiveness. Spray the mixture on affected plants, especially on the underside of leaves where pests usually hide. 2. Potassium soap (or castile soap) insecticide Potassium soap or castile soap is a safe and gentle way to eliminate insects such as aphids, mealybugs and mites. Recipe: Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid castile soap (or potassium soap) with 1 liter of water. Spray the mixture on the affected plants, making sure to cover the leaves, stems and roots if possible. The soap dissolves the membranes of the insects and eliminates them without harming the plants. 3. Chili and pepper insecticide The combination of chili and pepper is an excellent insect repellent. Recipe: Mix 1 tablespoon of chili powder or red pepper with 1 liter of hot water. Let it rest for a few hours and strain it. Add 1 teaspoon of neutral soap so that it adheres better to the plants. Spray the mixture on the plants, especially where pests are found. The spiciness irritates insects and scares them away. 4. Neem Oil Insecticide Neem oil is a natural insecticide that fights a wide variety of pests and also has fungicidal properties. Recipe: Mix 2 teaspoons of neem oil with 1 liter of water and 1 teaspoon of neutral soap. Spray it on the affected plants, covering all the leaves well, including the underside.

Some foods that can cause toothaches include; 1)Acidic foods: These foods can erode tooth enamel, causing sensitivity and pain. Examples include citrus fruits, tomatoes, tomato juice, vinegar, and sauerkraut. 2)Sugary foods: Consuming too much sugar can damage oral health. 3)Hard candies and ice: Crunching on these hard substances can wear down tooth enamel and expose the dentin layer. 4)Hot and cold beverages: Sudden temperature changes can cause the enamel to expand and contract, leading to cracks and chips. 5)Starchy foods: These foods can stick to teeth and lead to plaque build-up and tooth decay. 6)Nuts: Nuts can contain added sugar, especially when roasted or sweet chili varieties. 7)Dried fruit: Many dried fruits, like raisins, figs, dates, and prunes, are sticky and can cling to teeth. To prevent toothaches, you can; a)Brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste twice a day. b)Cut down on sugary foods and drinks. c)Have regular dental checkups. If you have a toothache that lasts more than a couple of days, you should consult a dentist.
