Today on BattaBox's Food Arena with presenter Warri Pikin we're not looking at food, but a drink - the famous Pap, Ogi (in Yoruba), or Akamu (in Igbo)
Firstly, you wash, mix and then grind the corn to remove the chaff in buckets and water. This will ensure the pap comes out clean, and the chaff is often given to goats as food. Once the pap, ogi, or akamu is processed, you mix a little water and then serve with Nigerian classic food dishes such as plantain, puff puff or fried yam. The only ingredients you will need are Wet Corn Starch, Water, evaporated milk , and some sugar if you have a sweet tooth.
This is Nigerian food that many children in Nigeria will be fed by mothers, even if they don't enjoy the taste, to help them stay healthy. Akamu is said to help pregnant women with putting milk in their breasts and also assist the unborn babies health.
Did your mother feed you (and beat you until you drank it!) this special Nigerian food? It's sour, so maybe add a little sugar to sweeten the taste!

I like Warri Pikin being the host. Pls do more of him

Battabox, I actually did not know how much I would cherish this channel. Born and raised in London ( from Naija parents) but you transport me live to Nigeria every time. More grease to your elbow and keep the flag flying 😀

[@globalcetzen5271]

Pap, which we call 'Kooko', 'Akatsa', 'Zogbor', in Ghana is a staple. It's the original West African baby's first food and fever destroyer. I like it very sour with roasted groundnuts. Yummy! West African food is the best.

[@romz5330]

Ogi comes in 3 colors; white yellow and brown.Always preferred the brown one it is the most flavorful to me I think the brown one is called Ogi Baba

[@BattaBox]

[@ThatsEunice]

My favorite food in Nigeria and America. I will never be too old.

[@Melanin_Move]

Is this porridge? This is a traditional breakfast in the Caribs. We give it to our children alot. By force we drink it like formula😂. We make it with corn, plantain, green banana, etc. You can make any kind of porridge. Just add milk, coconut milk, sweet milk, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg. At least this is the basics. I've never seen it from scratch like this. Nice.

[@truthmatterbyoladada1462]

It made from crorn and millet

[@empressswiss2080]

I can relate. I am Jamaican and I had to drink porridge the same way warri pikin had to. 😂😂😂😂😂By force, everyday. 😂😂😂😂 Now I am grown d ones I like is peanut with oats and green plantain or I have each of them by themself. I don't fancy the cornmeal but I will drink it and I hate rice and hominy corn porridge those corns I just can't and d rice is just nasty.

[@misstt1289]

Same here...was thinking. A porridge niga version. Makes it look silky smooth n nice.😊

[@bestsinger11]

Very nice video, this dish is similar to Jamaican cornmeal porridge, I would love to try this meal. Thanks for sharing!

[@mosunmolaadeojo9061]

My sister, this is made from corn as well. Mhen, i respect every African who survived the transatlantic slave trade. Despite the horrors they went through, they made sure they maintained and preserved their cultures even when their languages were taken away from them.

[@coppercoloredlifestyle9498]

Mosunmola Adeojo maintained what culture... corn is indigenous to America... VERY well documented fact. This is based off American traditions. When corn made its way around the world, everyone was getting sick and dying because they weren’t preparing corn properly... SMH.

[@Melanin_Move]

Mosunmola Adeojo Very true. We make this in the Carib. What people don't know is that Africans we're there before the transatlantic trade. I'm Jamaican and something I've discovered were direct African like a place in Westmoreland called Abeokuta, Jamaica. I never knew that was a Yoruba name😂. Matter a fact this tribe took over many parts of the Americas before the trade like the name "Taiwo" is on old maps. Much love and blessings to you 😆

How was it?

[@audreymay9378]

This reminds me of bird custard but made from scratch ogi is the real deal.

[@NickyM_0]

The refined version is custard. Akamu is the raw, original version. I love it. It is an acquired taste if you are not used to it.

[@ennykad1]

Jenny Jerome Ogi and custard are two different things oooo. Custard from scratch is made from egg yolk, milk and sugar.

[@NickyM_0]

@@ennykad1 Actually, yes you are so right! Let me rephrase.. Lol... Akamu is 'similar' to custard in consistency but it's 'like' a raw, unrefined version of custard. Even though, as you said custard is made from different ingredients.

[@jessicanoonie5133]

Thanx Warri, twas a cool episode ;)

Are there different versions of PAP like a yellow version and a white version.

[@oyejaiyeola6958]

The powered version (pre packed) is already in the market. Ogi/pap/akamu embraces the 21st century.....

[@oyejaiyeola6958]

Chioma Umeizudike - Have you tried the powered form? Properly prepared? You honestly would not know the difference, if it's properly done.

[@oyejaiyeola6958]

Chioma Umeizudike - When you prepare the powered paste, it should not be too watery. Add boiled water and stir continously, till thicker paste is achieved.

[@ndidiemmanuel-akiti1011]

[@ProfezorSnayp]

I'm looking for an honest answer. Is Nigeria safe for non-African tourist travel?

[@Gabbyplaytime]

Profezor Snayp yes

[@bukster337]

It depends on the area you go to. Lagos and many other areas in Nigeria are safe for foreigners. Other areas may be too dangerous for foriegners.

[@neggro123]

Profezor Snayp if you’ve viewed other videos on this channel you would have seen foreigners

[@matma01]

Lol...yes, I (Black American) was in Lagos in March 2018. I saw nothing to worry about. There was all races of people moving about with out concern (even white females there solo)! I have heard other regions may not be safe.. I only did Lagos State.

[@christyagatha360]

Stupid question!you better go visit syria

[@ladycakes9002]

It’s looks like something we make in our Country called custard

[@BattaBox]

Yes it does, although you can call this is African custard

[@kithinjikwiriga2666]

I don know why she should do all this back breaking work.in kenya we call it uji(poridge)made from cornneal.there are cornmeal making machines.yu take dry corn to machine and grind it flour wara.within minutes.with flour yu can make ogi or favourite Kenyan food cAlled ugali(thick cornmeal)

[@generalnwankwo8689]

Kithinji Kwiriga Sorry you didn't get the point of this video, this is the original African traditional( Nigerian ) way of doing it, we also have machine in Nigeria that can do all this stuff, but traditionally this is way it all started, l hope this was helpful. Thanks.

[@kayswayofflow8064]

The cornmeal one does not taste the same as this original one. I’ve tried both. Corn starch will give you a more similar result like phi but the original is still the best

[@BattaBox]

😂

[@SoulfulMeditations369]

Is it washed from corn flour?

[@adejokebakare]

Corn is fermented and it is ground, then sieved to separate the chaff, the corn used is usually dry corn not flour. The fermentation process makes it easily digestible and it adds to the nutritional value. Some people add spices to it, you can use Millet, as well.

This guy is the only reporter of Batta Box that i refuse to watch anymore. I have tried and tried to watch this young man but can never understand a single thing he says. He doesnt even match the subtitle. Therefore i have decided to give him a thimbs down and skip everyone of his interviews. i will not waste anymore of my time with this guy. Just think of all the good shows he could have if he would just slow down and get some type of speach therapy of some sort

[@OldKush]

DeepOff the subtitles don’t match because they’re translating what he says from pidgin into standard International English.
