LILY OF NIGERIA

Quote : "What if I fall...Oh my darling, what if You fly?"- Unknown . Good morning Guys, Happy Sunday!! I went for 7:30 am Mass at Falomo , and I have the rest of the day free! Yaay Me! Lately, I've had a lot of "alone time." It's a good thing to experience once in a while. I feel my court attachment externship is one of the best things God put in place to fire me up for my career. I am truly grateful. However, I feel I am not reading enough for school. Tbh, it's as if I need to put in more effort . A new friend of min e told me I'd be just fine ( hey Georgie ). But, tearfully, I don't know how. In a good way, I know I need a little push. Back to today's post! Generally, I love to eat/snack on Avocado! But, like most things with humans, my body outrightly rejects it! Sadly, people, Avocado gives Alexandria serious flatulence . D on't laugh at me or I won't share anything with you again . Kiddin'! * insertLaughingE

Before anything else, I deeply apologise for what seems to be a total nonchalance to this blog, and, it's beloved readers. How has life been treating you? Great I hope. Have you kept up with the news? If you're in Nigeria(Lagos to be specific, you already feel how I feel, about the state of power supply, and, petroleum).  In other inspiring news, have you seen the smiles Prince Harry's brainchild the Invictus Games has been pasting on veterans' faces lately?  To see first hand, Check out these links here , here , and here . Even HelloMagazine , has an entire gallery with a 16 picture slideshow detailing a part of the games here . I've been working a great deal behind the scenes, with my school work especially. We've started our attachments so law school is gradually coming to an end for me. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and research too concerning this blog, and more than ever, I'm convinced I need to give this a shot... By

A while ago, I came across a friend's Instagram Post on Tiger Nuts. I was amazed by what I read on her post, one point in particular caught my fancy( that it helps people loose weight ). Being the law student that I am, I had to do more research. My discovery took me aback. Tigernut is a tough fibrous rooted perennial plant. In Nigeria, they are referred to by a plethora of names. Igbo people call it Aki-Ausa (I don't know what it means in Ibibio , so, I also call it Aki-Ausa). It is known as Aya in Hausa, ofio in Yoruba, Chufas in Spanish, some also call it Zulu nut, yellow NutGrass, Ground Almond and so on . Wrongly addressed as nut, Tiger nuts are actually Tubers . They are very popular in Northern Africa and Nigeria. They are also not alien in places like India, and Spain where they are consumed in milk forms known locally as Horchata De Chufa. "Hausa people" sell them in wheelbarrows all over Nigeria, and, at affordable prices too! During my research,

  QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Travel makes one modest. You see what tiny place you occupy in the world.”― Gustave Flaubert Hey you, how is life treating you this April? I hope you are doing well. This is one post I have been hoping to finally publish.
