EWEDU SOUP!!!

Home grown Ewedu leaves

Ewedu soup is one of the most popular Nigerian soups among the Yorubas. Little wonder when I was serving

in Abakaliki, I couldn't find it to buy to prepare, but there's a life saving bukateria where it's being sold with Amala. I go there anytime I want to get a break from Igbo soups and it helps to remind my taste buds of what home tastes like! 

Ewedu soup has lots of benefits to offer, it's highly nutritious and can even aid in weight loss. It is very easy to prepare and you can go ahead to use a whisk, hand or Jug blender, instead of the crude ways of using Ijabe. Lol, my momma must not hear me say this!

STORY TIME!!! ☺☺

It's story time people! So I passed out of NYSC few weeks back and I was just thinking about how God saw me through! This is gonna be a lengthy one so I'd suggest you just grab some popcorn and let's gist. 

I remembered the day I checked my NYSC posting, I was in my school's senate building collecting my certificate with my two friends- Oladamola and Simileoluwa though we had earlier done our convocation around december of the previous year, we were in one chamber waiting for it and one guy just rushed in and said- call up letters has been uploaded, you guys can check your postings. Immediately I started having flashbacks images of me pranking my sister and mom, like I'd just shout and say I've checked it and it's Oyo state.
