How to neutralize the hot taste of pepper in your soups

It happens to us all the time. We put in more than enough pepper in our native soups – egusi, okro, bitter leaf, oha, ogbono etc., and then start wondering how to remedy the situation. Some add more water to dilute the taste of pepper but while this may be a bit effective, guess what happens? It makes your soup watery.

The best method I have used to reduce the taste of pepper in my soup is by adding some more palm oil. That’s my secret! You may be wondering if the soup won’t have more oil than necessary. My soup comes with just enough palm oil so that if there is the need to add some more oil for taste, colour, etc., I can do so without making the soup too oily.

I hope this tip was useful.

Before you buy that Valentine's gift, read this

Ever had the experience of spending weeks or even months preparing for Valentine’s Day and buying what you felt was the perfect gift, and as the days build up to that romantic and sensual moment, BAM! Something happens and you break up. The gifts are either stuck with you or you hate yourself for gifting them out in the first place to someone you would now call an asshole? The season of love is here again, a time for sharing, exchanging gifts and most definitely spending. Have you ever noticed that a lot of time and money goes into planning to get our loved one(s) and partner(s) the best Valentine’s Day gifts, and that many-a-time, we end up buying the wrong gifts or indulging in irrelevant spending? Valentine’s Day is expensive and millennials are the biggest spenders, followed by the generation before them.

#EndSARS, Women, Peace and Security

Nigerian women have not spoken loud enough against the attacks on the #EndSARS protesters (a peaceful protest which is now being criminalized), or about related atrocities currently going on in Nigeria. Clearly, Nigeria has failed our young generation. What hopes do young people have in a country which sees youths as threats rather than opportunities for development? Their opinions don't count when it comes to nation building but when it comes to elections, they become relevant for adding up the numbers and for thuggery.
