  2. This is the third time I’m teaching how to make correct, authentic Ncha for Abacha just the way our mothers did it, the traditional way. INGREDIENTS: • Ose Akpi • Ehuru (Calabash nutmeg) • Efuru • Fresh okra • Palm oil • Ita Ngu • Abacha • Salt • Knorr seasoning cubes • Garden egg • Garden egg leaves • Fried fish • Kpomo • Onions • Ogiri Igbo PROCEDURE: 1. Begin by toasting the Ose Akpi, Ehuru, and Efuu in a dry frying pan over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. 2. After toasting, grind the spices using a mortar or blender, depending on what you have available. 3. Pour the fresh okra into the mortar and pound until smooth. This gives the Ncha a unique consistency. 4. In a small cup or bowl, scoop out 2½ teaspoons of Ita Ngu. Mix it with water and sieve it into the mortar. Stir the mixture gently and continuously for about 3 minutes. 5. Heat up some palm oil until it’s properly hot. You can test this by adding a tiny drop of the oil into water—if it sizzles, it’s ready. Pour the hot oil into the mortar. A sizzling reaction means the oil was hot enough. Stir the mixture continuously for 3–5 minutes, until it thickens slightly and changes texture. 6. Add your Ogiri Igbo and stir thoroughly using your pestle. This adds a deep, local flavor to the sauce. 7. Wash your Abacha properly with warm water and place it in a large bowl or pot. Layer the Ncha mixture over the Abacha. 8. Add salt and seasoning cubes to taste, then stir everything together to combine evenly. Adjust the seasoning if needed. 9. Garnish with fried fish, kpomo, garden egg, garden egg leaves, and onions for that authentic, rich finish. And there you have it, your traditional Ncha for Abacha is ready to be enjoyed! N.B: It’s best eaten with your bare hands 😹because that’s when it truly hits different! #abacha #abacharecipe #howtomakenchaforabacha #ngumethod #africansalad #africansaladrecipe #igboamaka #igbokwenu #ndiigbo #nriigbo #igbofoods #localdish #mazitundeednut #tundeednut

  3. Let’s Make Anyu Agworoagwo with Yam and Unripe Plantain. This dish carries so much nostalgia for me🤗 Growing up, once we returned from primary school, we’d drop our bags in front of our mum and run straight to grandma’s house. The first thing we’d ask was “Grandma, what did you cook?😀 With a smile, she would reply “I cooked AMU ENYI.” In my childish interpretation, that meant “ELEPHANT PENIS” 🤣. We would all burst into laughter and then rush to devour the food served hot with palm oil. It was always so delicious that, by the time we got home, we could boldly tell our mum we had eaten Amu Enyi to our fill. Even if she had jollof rice and chicken waiting, we wouldn’t touch it. That’s how good this humble, traditional meal was. INGREDIENTS • Anyu (Pumpkin or Squash) • Yam • Unripe plantain • Palm oil • Onions • Ukpaka (oil bean) • Ogiri Igbo • Knorr seasoning cubes • Salt • Fresh red pepper • Green vegetables • Ugu leaves • Smoked fish PROCEDURE 1. Wash thoroughly, cut into halves with a cutlass or heavy knife, slice into smaller pieces, and remove the seeds. 2. Peel yam and unripe plantain, cut into chunks, and wash. Put them in a pot with the Anyu pieces, add water, and cook until soft. Drain, then scrape out the soft Anyu flesh from its greenish back (or peel before cooking if you prefer). 3. Place the scraped Anyu in a mortar and pound gently with fresh red pepper until smooth and well combined. 4. Heat palm oil in a pot, add sliced onions, Ukpaka, and Ogiri Igbo. Season with Knorr cube and salt, then stir to release flavor. 5. Add the pounded Anyu, yam, and plantain into the sauce. Stir well, then add smoked fish. Finish with chopped green vegetables and ugu leaves.

  2. Our Darling @tomike_a had a massive praise party yesterday to celebrate the extremely beautiful life that her mummy lived and we were there to praise with her as well as hydrate and nourish all the beautiful, happy and vibrant guests in attendance ❤️❤️❤️ The night was filled with so much love, admiration and sweet emotions and it was so so lovely to catch a glimpse of how amazing mummy was while here. I heard so many testimonies I cheered and was so happy she LIVED WELL, TOUCHED LIVES and EMPTIED herself before leaving. I’m also veryyyy glad you and everyone in her life gave her her flowers while she was here and she knew she was loved and adored. That’s such a blessing 🌺🌼🌸💐🌺🩵😍 May mummy’s legacy live on through as we celebrate her life forever. Amen 🕊️🤍🤍🤍 And to you our dear Star Girl, I know you’ve still got a lot on your plate with the Funeral activities but you’ve proven strength beyond everyone’s comprehension akin to how I was during my dad’s demise. I pray God continues to strengthen you, refill your praise tank and joyful spirit and when the time of deep grief does come (because it’ll surely come cos we’re flesh and blood) please hold on to all of the beautiful memories you both created and to the fact that your mummy was an ICON. A SAINT. The ORIGINAL STAR 🌟 I pray deep healing for you when you need it the most in Jesus name. I Love you, We Love Mummy (SHE LOVED MAYSCHILLS JUICES 🥹🥰😍) and we’ll all keep rooting and praying for you ❤️ Now to the fun part, can you tell this praise party was for the books? Omooo, we ran had to eventually run out around 10pm when all 300+ juices and Tigernut Milk finished😄 Island people LOVE partying o ahn ahnnnn 🤣😃 Anyways we loved the vibe and the LOVE for Mayschills….Just lookatttttt 😍😍😍 To all the beautiful people who gave me warm hugs, said beautiful things about Mayschills products or screamed out my name last night, I LOVE YOU ALL ❤️💚💛💚🧡💖 Mayschills; Hydrating, Refreshing and Nourishing EVERYONE 💚

  3. From Banking to Blending…! March 2017 – The day I walked away from my Bank Manager desk, turned in my resignation, and stepped into the unknown all because I experienced the miracle of the Smoothie Diet ✨💥🥹 Everyone except my husband, some of my family members and a few friends thought I was crazy! “Leave a secure job? For smoothies?!” Infact, my parents begged me to go back and plead with HR that I made a mistake sending my letter in in the first place but my faith was strong as I was extremely frustrated with the job already. To worsen issues, the week I resigned was when MMM crashed 😳😭😤😭(Every single money I had saved up then was foolishly abi greedily invested into the scheme and I LOST EVERY SINGLE KOBO!!! 10 years flashed before my eyes and I cried in shame till I couldn’t cry anymore. One day, my husband said you sold smoothies in just November to December half heartedly and made double your salary and you think if you focus all of your energy there right now you won’t succeed? Have you seen how people LOVE the smoothies? Don’t you believe all those testimonials people have been sharing? My dear, go and blend like the blender boss that you are jor!! (And that’s how the name BlenderBoss was born) And then 💥 I found my purpose God called me not just to start a lucrative business for my financial freedom but to build a movement for nutrition, wellness, & transformation! How do you think we’ve done in 8 years? Nourishing THOUSANDS, helping people lose weight, heal, glow and empowering hundreds via my trainings and coaching is such a big flex that I’m forever in awe of 🤯 THANK YOU JESUS 🙏🥹😭😫 Looking back since the 24th at my send-forth party photos, I smile. That woman had NO IDEA how rewarding this journey would be. 💎 So my darling, your dreams are valid. Your passion is enough. And sometimes, taking a bold step into the unknown leads to the sweetest rewards💚 To everyone who has been part of my journey, from banking halls to Mayschills DMs, WhatsApp, Cafe etc —THANK YOU! 🙏🏽💚 My Daddy Dearest, look at your Ojotule…! 🥺🤍🕊️ #Mayschills #BlenderBoss #MayschillsJourney #FromBankingToBlending #DreamsAreValid
