7. But to be honest, Sango gets an A for his fire-breathing skills
1. The delicious Ofe Onugbu
As with any southern soup, Ofe Onugbu(Bitter leaf soup) is basically heaven sent. You can have it with any swallow but I recommend pounded yam!
2. Ofe Akwu
If you love Banga soup, you’ll love Ofe Akwu even more. Igbos typically serve it with yam or boiled plantain.
3. The all-mighty Nkwobi
If you don’t try this tastefully prepared cow-leg and sauce combo in Anambra, what are you really doing there?
4. Let’s not forget the crispy and delicious Abacha
The first time I tried this, my taste buds literally exploded with delight. Plus it’s so light-as in, African Salad- that you can eat as much as you want.
5. We can never leave out Ukwa
Made with African Breadfruit, this meal is rich in protein and can be prepared in a plain way or in a jollof way.
If you love Ukwa, you’ll love Maggi’s #DeliciousNaija Onitsha episode

Every 22 March, the world celebrates World Water Day, but things are not as they seem
Right now, the United Nations says it’s facing the worst humanitarian crisis since it was created in 1945, and 4 major countries will be affected by drought, famine and ultimately starvation
1. Those countries include: Nigeria
Northern Nigeria as well as the Lake Chad region is at serious risk. After suffering from terror attacks, extreme conditions may cause millions to die, including children. In some communities, all the toddlers have died, and adults are too weak to even walk.
2. Somalia
Somalia has suffered from terror-related conflict just like Northern Nigeria and in 2011, it suffered severe famine. Now, more than one million children under the age of 5 may die due to malnutrition this year.

The World’s youngest country, South Sudan’s famine is described as ‘handmade’, because of the 3-year-long civil war the country is currently facing. 7.4 million people need aid and 270,000 children face imminent death if they don’t get assistance.
4. Yemen
Yemen is the poorest Arab nation, but Saudi Arabia and Iraq are supporting two opposing factions that want to control the Yemeni government. The conflict has affected more than 12 million Yemenis who currently need both water and food.
Want to help?
UNHCR, Mercy Corps, Save The Children, UNICEF are some of the aid organisations helping to fight the crisis. Visit their websites for more information on how to donate.
A good number of things don’t add up in Nigeria. Social systems don’t work and maintenance of physical structures is a myth, but we at least thought we had gotten somewhere with the ease of carrying out transactions over the internet. More than 1.85 million students applied to write the UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exams) in 2016, but the process remains crude.
This clip from a concerned Twitter user tells its own story
The struggle to buy JAMB form in Maiduguri the Borno state capital.
The people of Borno are still recovering from the horrors of the Boko Haram sect. Why should they go through any of this?
It really doesn’t make sense that the Ministry of Education and JAMB(Joint Administration and Matriculation Board) don’t give top priority to students from the conflict-affected states in the North. For one, these kids have been forced to abandon their studies for years, surely the least we can do for them is make the learning process easier for them?
The process of applying for and getting the JAMB form needs to be a lot easier for students nationwide.
Jamb that one should buy from the comfort of his bed and apply there. Almost 3 decades after others simplified registrations online
We’ve forgotten who the Minister for Education is (Do we have one?). But the person should kindly wake up from his or her slumber sometime this year.
