Food Wahala!
<p>As the rain pours down heavily and the sun announces her temporary resignation, I sit quietly, soliloquizing.</p><p><br/></p><p>Suddenly, you appear.</p><p><br/></p><p>Congratulations. You've just been dragged into my dilemma.</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: I have a bold claim. There should be professional food suggesters.</p><p><br/></p><p>Me (again): I need to rant. This isn't one of my usual discussions. It's a full-blown rant session.</p><p><br/></p><p>Kindly sit with me.</p><p><br/></p><p>You: I'm sat.</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: Why does adulthood come with so many unnecessary problems? Why?</p><p><br/></p><p>You: Haba. What happened?</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: What happened?</p><p><br/></p><p>Okay, answer me this.</p><p><br/></p><p>Do you know what you're eating this evening?</p><p><br/></p><p>You: As how?</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: Exactly!</p><p><br/></p><p>I didn't know what to eat yesterday. I don't know what to eat this evening. I have absolutely no idea what I'm eating tomorrow.</p><p><br/></p><p>This is an unnecessary chore!</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm burning calories trying to decide what to eat. At this rate, indecision is my workout.</p><p><br/></p><p>You: It's true sha.</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: How are Nigerians coping?</p><p><br/></p><p>Every week it's rice, spaghetti, beans, yam and garri.</p><p><br/></p><p>You: Don't forget potatoes, eggs, bread, tea, vegetables and fruits.</p><p><br/></p><p>Both of us: That's all!</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: Na wa o.</p><p><br/></p><p>What are Nigerians eating besides these? More importantly, how do you people decide what comes next while still trying to eat a balanced diet?</p><p><br/></p><p>Because at this point, I need help.</p><p><br/></p><p>You: I don't know.</p><p><br/></p><p>Me: Then let's ask them...</p><p><br/></p><p>So, kindly share your two cents.</p><p><br/></p><p>What are you eating these days that isn't on this list?</p><p><br/></p><p>I genuinely need ideas before I find myself eating rice for the fifth time this week. </p><p><br/></p><p>PS: do you think I should turn this to a series where I share my two cents on Two Cents?</p>
