I knew it had to happen at some point of course. It’s the cycle of life. You’re born. You live. You die. Simple. Tell it to the heart though and it’s not so simple anymore. A curious thing happened to me one night a few weeks ago. For some reason, I went on YouTube and …

 favorite yummy nigerian snacks

I brought back some of my best, yummy Nigerian snacks on a recent visit, in addition to some very hot pepper because despite what you might have heard, “spicy” Spanish food is practically non existent. At least not in the way you think. You order something spicy and keep wondering where the heat is! . I want to share with you some of my all time favourite and definitely yummy Nigerian snacks. Some look easy to make too, so if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try this at home. I haven’t written about food in a while. Feast your eyes on some savoury and best Nigerian treats.

Historic osun osogbo sacred grove is a remarkable beauty

If anyone had told me that Nigeria has a UNESCO World Heritage Site, l would have scoffed. I had certainly never read nor heard about that. All we seem to hear about is Boko Haram and Internet Scammers. Our recent visit to Nigeria where we spent the most of December was an enlightening one.

Not only did we get to visit with family, but we also traveled short distances from our bases in Ibadan and Lagos to visit some of the cultural landmarks including the Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove. The grove is located in the South West of Nigeria and is one of the last remaining ones in the country. Most groves have been abandoned thanks to population growth and in my opinion, more westernized religion and the dying off of old people.
