Nigerian football icon Victor Moses, who recently traded the English Premier League for Fenerbahçe, moving to Istambul, might have also already tasted the turkish Lokma, made with flour, sugar, yeast and salt. A little parenthesis here: for the ones who have just landed in Nigeria, or in western Africa, palm wine is an alcoholic beverage, quite popular in the continent, originated from the sap of a large variety of palm trees, such as palmyra, coconut palms or date palms. The inclusion of a liquid, whether it is wine, water or something else, might be the main variance between the Nigerian puff-puff and another African dough delight: the Ghanaian bofrot. You will also need 2 cups of flour, vegetable oil for frying and then you can choose if you prefer to do it with water, milk or palm wine.

The Las Vegas joint was no exception, offering a big (but not disconcertingly big) menu full of traditional Ethiopian flavours. I find the simplest dishes are usually the best judge of a restaurant and this place does the perfect Nigerian jollof rice. It’s nice to see pounded yam on the menu as it doesn’t get more comfort food than yam. Whilst a main course here is more than enough to fill you up, try to save room for some ‘snacks’; the suya is only a couple of dollars a stick and is a real taste of home, whilst the meat pies are pretty filling, but again a must try.

I could describe him as a delicious bowl of seafood okra but the beauty that is Enyinna pass Okra. Enyinna’s face in Nollywood is nothing new, He has acted in different Nollywood movies, but I only noticed him in the movie “ The wedding party” where he played Nonso Onwuka the brother to Dozie Onwuka played by Banky W. Enyinna I believe my job as an actor enables me wear different hats, putting human faces to situations we face daily in the society, delving into socially sensitive conversations that would otherwise end up as basic conversations through story telling, pushing cultural & global conversations, going past boundaries & telling the African story our own way,setting new narratives, shifting and shaping perceptions.

Who goes to Miami without going to South beach and eating beach side? a Coronarita is simply margarita with one or two bottles of Corona turned upside down into a margarita glass filled with margarita and the beer slowly releases into the margarita as you drink from the glass. After about 30 minutes on the beach, we went looking for the famous Coronarita and while walking the most talked about side walks of Ocean drive, we were stopped by a very “don’t take no for an answer” I got a small cigar that tasted like vanilla while my friend got one that tasted like cherries.
