Where Did Agege Bread Come From?

[@Myburntorange]

Absolutely love this documentary. Now to trace the steps of how the Jamaicans arrived at bringing this bread back to us

[@yoyomealiciousfoods]

This is the best bread in the whole world #myopinion

[@Afrikaislife]

A great storyteller who knows her craft. Cheers.

[@kateiwe9771]

Love it! Fantastic documentary. I particularly like the end, it's part of our culture and we shouldn't loose it, we just need to get creative about making it a healthy part of our culture. Well done Oz!

[@karisc.anoruo2212]

I loved this!!! This was great information!!!

[@laurav4618]

A beautiful documentary, telling the amazing story of the best known bread born in Lagos

[@Myburntorange]

It's so beautiful

[@majorjuxta]

More power to you ..we need more of this kind of content

[@KENZIIE_lol]

I am Jamaican. Amos Shackleford was my Great-grandfather. One of his daughter Doris, was my grand mother. This Agege bread they're speaking of, appears to be what we call in Jamaica "Hard dough Bread". That's probably where Amos got the idea. Just sayin..

[@nancysamson3185]

Wow thank you very much ❤️

[@Pschool1]

interesting story thank you, does your family still live in Nigeria or have close links to nigeria?

[@KENZIIE_lol]

@@Pschool1 We don't know much of his exploits in Nigeria, aside from the bread. So no. no connection to Nigeria, or any potential Nigerian relatives at all. ALL my family/relatives are in Jamaica, USA or Canada. I speculate that my grandmother was one of his "off the books" children, as I don't have any record of her coming from a marriage.

[@Pschool1]

@@KENZIIE_lol ohhh how interesting.. thank you for replying and sharing again ! 😊

[@ibudofia5961]

Well done Ozoz. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@abisoyeakinola3799]

Well done!!!! Love it..telling our own story the way it is

[@ForAfricans]

Yes o. If we don't start taking charge of our narratives as Africans, who will?

[@iyanuoluwakomolafe9427]

This is so enlightening, I absolutely love it.

[@Laitalafraise]

Beautiful! I enjoyed watching this mini-documentary. We need more of these! I'll continue to be watching your work! Excellent!

[@diaynemgbakor3582]

This is awesome. Not many people tackle the origins of things that have becomes part of the everyday Nigerian life. Please continue with it. It may take time but it will eventually pay off.

[@brendaumenwa9963]

An amazing documentary! I enjoyed every bit of it.

[@kamsyanyachebelu1613]

[@GastroSoulady]

You are an amazing storyteller. Keep up the good work!!!

[@praisechineyemba4]

Excellent documentary, i hope you produce more

[@Favored134]

Great job! Amazing reporting.

[@annieyoo]

Beautifully crafted documentary. Such rich content!

[@Qtozmedia]

Beautiful sound, tremendous feel. Great story. Proud of you guys.

[@intune1755]

Amazing job!

[@dirtytv334]

This is like crack to me I can't get enough of and always reminds me of home when I get homesick I make some with vitamin c ascorbic acid

[@Lawman212]

Remarkable show, very interesting to see the neighborhood baking practices. But it's sad that bromate is widely used. If Ascorbic acid is a effective substitute, I hope they switch. Bakers should appreciate the role they play in the health of their community. Britain went through an arduous process to standardize bread ingredients and to exclude non nourishing ones. It's a struggle, but worth it.

[@RochdChati]

beautiful documentary and amazing host

[@prettynikki3667]

Interesting to watch, maybe I'll try this bread one day

[@AishaOLewa]

I love this so much, thank you for that

[@jlovetravels5703]

Thanks for this Documentry. Loved it.

[@walusemeshack]

Great editing!

[@AOduye-kc1ww]

This is a wonderful documentary. It is just as delicious as the bread!

[@Life-er6mq]

Phenomenal documentary. I’m very very impressed. I was wondering if you know or plan to follow up on the Agege bread that is also produced by Nigerians overseas ? For example, the “Effie’s” brand of Agege Bread is produced in NJ I believe and distributed to African food markets in the greater American Northeast where I live (my family owns a small African Food Market as well)

[@ForAfricans]

Thank you! Unfortunately this is as far as we want to go on this topic as we have so much to cover and very little resources to do so. We'd love to do a piece on African Food Markets in the diaspora in the future. Feel free to send your contact to info [at] forafricans [dot] com

[@TruthSerumBarton]

Thanks so much!

[@juggernautmjae3970]

I am so proud right now as a Jamaican ☺️☺️☺️☺️ can some one slip me the recipe one time 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰... I hope they never go out of business may the great ancestors bless them continuously.... ASE ASE

[@jenellebelton8984]

Amazing video 🙌🏾

[@Joyful_familyTv]

Who else saw what they were using for the mixing, it looks like a bath tube to me.

[@Richniques]

Thank you for this story!

[@robinb6637]

Fascinating!

[@akankebola903]

Loved this documentary

[@VRuyt123]

Cheers from South Africa, I always wondered what are those Agege loafs that the Nigerian spaza shops here in South Africa stocks :D

[@estheradegbuyi2853]

Great documentary!

[@adebowaleselere4254]

Thank you Soo much 💓💓💓💓

[@daddidunni]

Great story. Was there bromate in any/many samples?

[@ChikadibiaO]

Yes there was. Check out timestamp 11:04

[@daddidunni]

Chika Okoli Mea culpa and thanks. Missed it.

[@ChibuzorDrSleek]

Well done

[@exodusinity1]

Fantastic

[@qb8774]

I want to eat Agege bread for iftar

[@azodelivingson326]

Many years of eating Agege bread, I finally realize how unhygienic the environment where they make the bread is. Even the sweat of these workers goes onto the bread during mixture. I’m grossed out

[@fo69420]

That’s what makes it flavourful

[@juggernautmjae3970]

That’s the bread I want the one with NOOOOO NAME that’s the best one

[@alhlawalnasiha9774]

Load have mercy. Now a day #11000 naira for a bag of flour is a history.now it's sold for #25000 in kebbi state

[@felixjr9064]

2022 a bag is over 28k now

[@DahunsiTemitope]

watching this video now, Mr. Oyeyemi would be wishing flour was still sold for 11,000

[@ivand8531]

Im craving for agege bread... But none sells it in indonesia.. Gosh hungry

[@ke9205]

I have a question I saw them drop something yellow liquid On the ingredient what is that?

[@sk6424]

That's Margarine

[@bob-manuel]

I think we can all agree that Agege bread needs a better production process and presentation (i don't feel like eating breads touched by someone's bear hands while they sweat). Imagine walking into market square and seeing the workers making their bread like the ones in this video lol.

[@TititoDeBologay]

Is no more dangerous than traditional French bakers who don't wear gloves when making baguettes or croissants over in Europe. I'd be more concern with The Bromate that with The hygiene.

[@bob-manuel]

@@TititoDeBologay No matter what country the individual is from I prefer eating bread done with the right ingredients and with some gloves on rather than have it being touched by someone's sweaty hands... You're okay with your food being touched by sweaty people not everyone is.

[@TititoDeBologay]

@@bob-manuel I'm not saying I'm ok with it. We have this bread over in Cameroon too,Kumba Bread.My point was more that sweaty hands have very little to do with a possible food poisoning. You get issues with unclean hands, uncovered heads and dirty cooking,unclean preparation areas and such, invisible but deadly. I'd be more scared of the glycemic index and what goes into the bread that sweaty hands imo 😅 We do agree that a more professional and thorough making of the bread will benefit all. I'd be curious to taste one with flour made of African cereals or tubers. I tasted it made out of sweet potatoes flour,made in a smaller buns size. Tasty and healthier as it request less refined sugar.

[@mandyramsubhag8871]

Tami Bob-Manuel I agrees that hygiene precautions need to be met. Africa is already known as the germ capital of the world. I do hope the bakeries will be more hygienic when handling food for the safety of its consumers.

[@richardogbonna8732]

Very good we can tell our own story now no need for white people telling Africa stories agege for life 👍 💚💚💚

[@Ratseeker]

Silly thought, but the people in Agege have great teeth for carbohydrate eaters.

[@markkofi8522]

What's the difference between Agege, Abuja and Lagos bread?

[@africanayasmin6210]

No Nigeriaan who used to live in ghana brought the method of agege bread to Nigeria in the 40d,50s

[@iyanuoluwakomolafe9427]

This is 2021 and a bag of flour is now #20000😭😭

[@amooolusina6978]

Hello Iyanu, How much is a bag of flour now?

[@Erioluwa]

I'm watching this video in August 2024, and how much is a bag of flour?😢😢

[@Hallytvv]

Beautiful but they should modernise it .all staff shroud be using glove.covering hairs..keep wear white gown so no sweating on food.any way I like agege 🍞
