[@ericezeokoli8800]

Chinyere, I told you to open up a restaurant at Ekwulobia or Agulu. Nne, you know how to cook. Your Husband is just so LUCKY!!................I dream of eating your Egwusi Soup with Garri Iba or Semovita, Goat/Lamb Pepper Soup, Beans and Yam Pottage/Porridge, Rice and Stew, Rice and Beans mixed...............Bitterleaf Soup with StockFish and Goat Meat with Garri Iba/Semovita ,a Bottle of Malt or Beer................Chei !!! I miss Nigerian FOOD !!. I spent my Salary on Goat/Lamb Pepper Soup with Malt in the early 1980s with my Friends when I was at Enugu. We ate at Pepper Soup Houses in Agbani Road, Uwani, Ogui Road parts of Enugu. I like Nigerian Breads..........Our Ladies Bread, Ejidike Bread, Silas Bread, ( BackToLand Bread at Uga Town Aguata) etc. These with Bournvita and Nido were/are GOOD for Breakfast. Chineyere show us the Recipe for making a Loaf of Bread that tastes like Our Ladies Bread, Ejidike Bread, Silas Bread. How about you show us the Recipe for "Akara" and "Akamu". I love thick Akamu with some Sugar cane Cubes added, then 5 Big Balls of Akara.............Hei I am dreaming !!!!. Please Chinyere OPEN up Eateries at Agulu AND Ekwulobia. You will make GOOD Money...........Nne ima esi ife ofuma ofuma.....................

[@FloChinyere]

Eric I'm in Ekwulobia now looking for a good site. Come let's make a choice. 😂😂😂 My brother you've been saying it ooo but mba. Restaurant business is not my calling. I don't have the energy and I don't like businesses that will tie me in one place. So many restaurants and food vending businesses have been started with the recipes I upload on this channel. That one is my calling. All the breads you mentioned are made by my town people. I'm from Agulu, the headquarters of bread bakers and supermarket owners. Thank you so much!

[@FloChinyere]

I already have recipes for akamu and akara on my channel. I'll make updates to those though.

[@ericezeokoli8800]

@@FloChinyere .Thank you "soooo" much Chinyere. Oh really, those POPULAR and FAMOUS Bread Brands from Agulu.............I was thinking Onitsha Folks produced them. Next time , I visit Nigeria, I will drive to Agulu and look for Restaurants.It is ONLY 5 to 10 minutes drive from Central Park Ekwulobia. Chinyere all you should do is open up an EATERY, and ofcourse name it ........." Flo Nigerian Recipe"............... with your logo/emblem, so that we know it is your thing, then get a paid Manager and some Cooks, give them the "Recipes" you have . You DO NOT have to be physically there. Communicate with them through Telephone. Pay them GOOD Salary (N80 000 per Month ) they will do ANY THING you direct them to do.

[@dollyosadolor1489]

Chaii, I can't remember the last time I eat this food. When I was in primary school, at break time. Beautiful sister FLO, you want to make me go back to my primary school right now.

[@paulineosaghae2979]

Love the video. Looks like what we call ukwoka in my native language. I do not think it is, because it is not as smooth as yours. Also made with corn but no meat inside. Yours looks like agidi mixed with fried stew. This menu is new to me and very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@FloChinyere]

Yes ukpoka is not sieved, it is corn meal.
