    I get the whole top level concept but do U know that if U have to imbibe a culture…the quality and QUANTITY should reflect that culture? Abeg, are U customers kids? That's not pounded yam. That's poundo yam…Ur soup is terrible. There is a reason why sushi never went to havard. U have the right packaging for the wrong culture.

    I've never seen Nigerian food presented in such a way as this. Nice way to bring awareness of the culture here.

    Introducing Nigerian cuisine to the US? Is that a joke? Do you know how long Nigerians have been coming to the US?

    Azikiwe was here attending school in the US in the 1920s! And that was long before Nigerians really started coming here for schooling in the 60s during the Biafran war.

    Nigerian restaurants have been around since at least the 70s, especially in NY!

    This video is very misleading.

    WOW!!!!
    I absolutely am proud of the way he’s plated these dishes in a fine dining style. People like to complain about portions but this isn’t the point – you need to appreciate this style of plating and class to understand it!

    As a fellow Nigerian, well done 👏🏾 🙋🏽‍♀️

    No proper swallow set aside in its own plate to sit beside the bowl of soup. The audacity…..

    Yoruba of Kwara state, Yorubas in north central Nigeria (Kwara). Ayo Balogun, Asaro, Egusi, are Yoruba staples. Don’t play politics with our culture. Good job though👏🏾👏🏾

Iceland on track to reject EU referendum as counting nears end | BBC News

Published

on



Iceland has voted against resuming membership talks with the European Union, public broadcaster RUV has reported, with just one constituency’s votes left to count.

It reported that 52.5% of the 188,496 votes so far counted had rejected the government’s proposal, while 47.5% had said yes. Some 9,500 votes separated them.

Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir’s centre-left government promised to hold a referendum by 2027, but brought it forward because of international tensions, including US President Donald Trump’s threats against Greenland.

Ukrainians in Russian-occupied areas told to be ready to fight for Russia – BBC News

Published

on



Ukraine’s progress against Russian forces in its southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia has been far more limited than its successes in the north-east.

Both sides come under regular fire as they rely heavily on artillery to push forward.

The crackdown on people who do not support Russian rule in occupied areas is rising, with soldiers going door-to-door to check on who lives in each house and whether they could be drafted into fighting for Russia.
