I’m Jamaican married to an Ibo man in the USA. besides helping my Yoruba friends blend tomatoes, I had nooo clue about cooking Nigerian food. In my search to learn to cook my husband’s favorite food Egusi, I stumbled across your recipe. It was so detailed and easy to follow. Since then I’m a pro at cooking Egusi, making tomato stew, fried rice, okra soup thanks in major part to you. I am so confident in my cooking such that I hosted a village meeting and did all the cooking solo. I got rave reviews. My husband was so proud lol! Funny enough I subscribed after watching your Seismic career video and was so impressed by your smarts and line of work. That got me hooked. My husband is from Enugu so I showed him your video of your sisters’ wedding with all the cooking and food done especially by your grandma. He loved the video. what I admire about you is that as large as your channel is, you take the time to reply to some comments rather than ignore them like a lot of RUclipsrs do. Anyway sorry for the long post. I don’t need the money, please give it to a student who is more in need. Just want to appreciate you and congratulate you on your YT achievements. God bless you.
Queen Athelene you are an angel! From learning all these meals to hosting meetings??? All you my originally non-nigerian wives do not know how proud I am of you. So many success stories of people preparing dishes of cultures they do not know anything about with awesome results. It's not easy at all. Thank you Queen for all you do. You are so kind. 😘
Pls ma, does your maxi oven works with electricity? Have not been able to get how to set the electric oven, I only know how to operate the oven with gas
Hi flo, just want to say a very big thanks for always taking me back to the village and the market at Umuze, it kept remedy me of my trip to Christmas every year in Nigeria.
In 2011 just having my twins in Florida,on your channel was where I learn to make puff puff, chin chin and the Nigerian meat pie. I couldn’t thank you enough. God bless you and yours forever dear🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Ada anyi you have tried, trust me you have been a great influence to a lot of people especially me because I really was not the type of person who loves to cook because I only know basics but watching you and learning all this food as helped my marriage, my hubby use to feel bad but won't say it because I really couldn't do some ceremonial cooking like abacha, ugba, ji abubo, etc but now am a chef at home, i never stop cooking even my kids loves to watch you especially my 2nd son that would say put Flo all nigerian recipe (lol) it encouraged me to cook more and I have you to thank. Continue with the good work and I pray the grace of God upon you and your loved ones in Jesus name Amen. And congrats on the plaque ji si ke nwanne nkem.
Ogo Nwadi OMG that part about your son is so cute! My kids now know the voices of my favourite RUclipsrs too and they know who I'm watching even without looking at the screen. 😂 I will thank you! God bless. ❤
Hi Flo, Am from Esan, and am one of your subscribers. I started watching your vlog in 2013 when i was dating your igbo brother who is from imo state. your first video i watched was how to make Abacha and Ugba as a surprise to him and now we're happily married and expecting our first child to be out anytime from now.indeed you are really helpful to me in making traditional igbo food.
Lucy Joy aww my wife! That Abacha really captured my brother's mumu button. 💃💃💃 Congratulations and best wishes with our little one. I await his/arrival. 😉😍 Well done!
I watched your Nigerian cake recipes and fell in love with your videos..and you know what i love your accent it makes it easier to understand more of the igbo traditional meals..
Aunty Flo congratulations. You have been doing a very nice job. I prefer your channel to every other food channel because I noticed your way of cooking is so real and original. For example, you will see other channels preparing okpa with Maggi and crayfish, but you know and understand that it's not the real thing. You understand how all these local spices like Ehuru, uziza, okpei, etc gives some certain foods a nice taste and flavor. I have watched virtually all your videos and I must say that "anya ruru gi ani" I'm planning to make akpu very soon! Lol....I live in Chicago by the way.
Adaora Onuorah oh Ada thank you so much for the compliment. ❤ Yes o, as our people say "ihe amuru amu ka ihe agworo agwo." And tell you what? I did not know that I have that knowledge in me but when I get a question on that, my brain goes straight to the deepest part of its hard drive to fetch the info. It was when mmadu was too young, unconsciously acquiring information. 😂😂😂
Autnny Flo, I'm Chinyere too!! (That's connection number 1)! You brought me and mommy so much closer together with your videos. My mommy was so pleased that I wanted to learn to cook, so every new video u posted, we would watch, and I would attempt it, and she would give me her own tips along the way. Nigerian food is so much more diverse than rice, stew, and jollof, and that's why mom and I LOVE you!!! Congratulations on 100K!!
Hi Aunty, congratulations. You are the perfect RUclips channel for making Nigerian food. I started watching your RUclips videos ever since I came across how to fry perfect Nigerian stew, which is very challenging to me then. But now I'm very grateful for making those videos for those of us who lack the trick in frying the perfect Nigerian stew. I have been watching your videos ever since then, and I can proudly say that my cooking skills have now improved. All thanks to you. Congratulations once again.
Thank you soooooooo much for this video. I actually clicked it for the mortar and pestle part. My new mortar and pestle have been washing off that red colour all the time. I didn't know I have to soak it that long.... I have been so "depressed" 🙍 as to how to make the colour stop washing off... Came on Google and RUclips searching for "how to start using a new mortar and pestle", "how to finish or file a new mortar and pestle " (LOL!....am I preparing for a carpentry job, tho?🙆) and "how to wash a new mortar and pestle", and the likes....Almost got frustrated until one of the searches suggested your channel. ...and then I clicked, hoping you would say something about it in passing.....AND! YOU! DID!💃💃💃💃 This is quite an eye opener! Danke!🙏
Congratulations Anty Flo. To be honest I started reading about your cookery from Google about five years ago. Three years ago I got married and since I love cooking I wanted to impress hubby and my inlaws I started watching your video on RUclips. The one that really struck me was the video on extra virgin coconut oil. It was very detailed and I loved it so much and I indeed did practice at home. Ever since then I have been looking forward to see your videos. Thanks for being my culinary teacher
Awww congratulations aunty, you deserve it! And I just want to say that your skin looks AMAZING in this video. It is literally GLOWING! Please do a skin care routine video!
All Nigerian Recipes That means it's time to diversify lol! And one thing I noticed is you've never ever had one single pimple! That means you either have great eating habits or beauty routines which can benefit us. You can make it an offshoot topic, like that time when we followed you to work offshore.
I’ve been subscribed for so long. I fell in love with your channel when you did the video about your offshore job. Was so inspired. Oh, I really love your village tours please do more.😊☺️
.I subscribed because of a video where your baby daughter was eating. She ate with such gusto and she was so cute! I said yes! One day I will have my family and my children will eat my food! And 5 years later it happened! And my egusi soup is delicious 😋
Aww congratulations on getting your heart's desires. That video goes way back! Wow! My daugher was 19 months old in that video and she is now 7 years old. Wow wow wow. Well done for doing a great job of that Egusi Soup. :)
Congrats on your youtube achievement. I subscribed to your channel about 2 years ago when I was looking for how to do puff puff for my daughter holy communion so after that day i fall in love with your method of cooking etc.later in 2016 I started my own cooking channel on youtube. yes, oo mortar and pestle are very important oo no matter all the kitchen gadget and appliances. I even bought one all the way from Nigeria to Ireland and my friends were laughing at me but I told me that they will not understand
Hello aunty Flo, nice video as usual. Being a foodie myself, but a lazy cook, I usually run to RUclips for inspiration and guidance on difficult-to-make meals. Since I stumbled on your samosa video in 2015 (I think I was a year late, cause you had put the video up a year before), I began to watch more and more of your other videos and fell in love with your channel. I now get to eat whatever I want, whenever I want. Thanks for making cooking such a easy feat.
Congrats my sister, wish you more of.good things in life. You would not know what you channel has done to so many people, myself inclusive, I remember the first time I stumbled on your channel trying to make meatpie, I used your Nigeria meat pie recipes and since then I have addicted to your channel.for.any Nigeria food and believe me you have not failed me in any way. Keep the good work. Love you and stay bless
Hi aunty Flo, congratulations on your youtube plaque, you deserve it! I stumbled upon your video in my quest for the "perfect" Nigerian meatpie and got hooked😊😄😃( 2012). Your videos saved me/opened my eyes to the unimaginable possibilities in the world of cooking. for instance, during my uni days in Belarus (eastern Europe) I couldn't imagine that making bitter leaf soup was remotely possible without "ogiri" and cocoyam... (my mum still doesn't believe it would taste like ofe ede) but I have leant how to improvise with leaves, oat and a lot more (the struggle is real where there are no African stores). Thank you for making me know that anything is possible, if only we tried. Thanks for helping me stay connected to Nigerian recipes in my six yrs of medschool sending you a hugs and kisses 😍😘
Doris Ejike our Doc! I've mentioned it in my reply to another person on this video ... There was a time it seemed like all questions I was getting about alternatives were from Nigerian students in Eastern Europe so I feel you my sister. I know how difficult it is to survive in a place that does not have an atom of Nigerian food! I am happy that one by one, you all are able to overcome by using the information available to you. 👍👍👍 Thank you.
Congratulations on this milestone,1 million subscribers in view.Thank you for putting out great content, I started watching your channel in 2016, first video was how to make fried rice,( not mixed rice) lol, it came out lovely , I subscribed immediately and Binge watched all your videos,was impressed that you showed details that made these classic Nigerian dishes, alternatives where necessary( especially for people living outside Nigeria) and so many helpful tips, I have been practicing pouring out food immediately into plastic bowls to stop the cooking process and then cool, just to mention one,☺have tried so many receipts too. Its been a journey with you and growth on my cooking skills too, thank you Aunty Flo
Your simplicity got me attracted to your channel. The video that really pushed me to subscribe is the one on how to prepare ur stew. You speak real and you don't fake anything.
All Nigerian Recipes What!!!! 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃. Oh, Thank you so much Anty Flooooooo❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you for boosting my moral.😁😁❤ I will never forget! You are one of a kind. I appreciate. God bless you more❤🤗😍
HI Aunty Flo . Congratulations on 100 ,000 youtube subscribers . I have been watching your videos since 2013 . When I left my parents house to go school I was so naive when it came with kitchen matters. Watching your video especially how to make puff puff , meat pie and how to fry tomato for stew ( which was a life saver for me) and least I forget , your fried rice recipe saved me in the first year in another country. Even if you don't get to pick me I am so happy you got your RUclips plaque. Congrats again
Why I believe I relate with you is because of your blog. I appreciate how you painstakingly write out your recipes and then the approach/method you deployed in achieving the meal. Although, you attach the RUclips video to all your delicacy blogs, Internet connectivity from 7-8 years ago never let me be great. So, I stopped attempting to click on play to watch. Reading through your blog at that time sufficed for me. Putting it in popular social media lingo, your meal preparation is bae. So, Imagine my excitement when I went to the United Kingdom for my postgraduate studies five years ago. You know how you finally have access to high speed non-buffering internet connection for the first time and you go nuts surfing the web? I am sure a few of us from these parts of the world can relate. RUclips then became one of my frequent pastimes. At that time (and I’m almost certain now), when you type any Nigerian recipe/delicacy in the search bar (as someone who has never visited your channel), your channel comes up first more often than not. I am even more excited that you are now in Nigeria and setting up your home (kitchen). This makes it more real because this time, whenever you put up a recipe, I am sure that achieving the meal is even more feasible in terms of the ingredients incorporated. In addition, as someone looking to redecorating my kitchen, I find your most recent videos, helpful. Lastly, I have also watched your non-food related videos, ie, the on the job (offshore) videos and they are very inspiring. You are an all rounder woman and I bless your maker for giving you the initiative to take up this hobby.
Thank you for your nice words Prim! I feel you on the going nuts! Like a child in a toy shop! I hope you were able to catch some sleep in the first few days. 😂😂 That's what I always say on Facebook. Some people only know about Facebook and WhatsApp hence they do not know what they are missing. They can't even visit the website because they are on free browsing or something like that. Some even get annoyed when I post links to RUclips videos. They would rather I charge them for cooking classes on WhatsApp when these endless hours of videos are on RUclips for free. Of course they need internet access but it is still cheaper than paying for classes that will give one limited information when there's endless information on the world wide web. Internet access is expensive for most people in Nigeria but even some people who can afford it do not invest in it, they would rather invest 100 times the money into buying disposable fashion items and all that. LOL Having access to all parts of the internet especially videos is like having a new lease of life. Like "So this part of the internet exists and I have been missing out?" I visit Nigeria often but I have not relocated yet. I am glad you find the most recent videos helpful. I thank God and you guys for the opportunity to upload these videos because mmmh, never in my wildest dreams, never.
Yassssssss this is definitely for us . Congratulations Aunty Flo because yes in my head I call you aunty. But on a serious not , I started following your channel when was in my 1st year in the university in Hungary which is (4 years now ), the first video I watched I think was your meat pie and Sausage rolls recipe. Since then I was hooked up on your channel, because of your detailed recipe and your very nice sense of humor. All my friends know how much I rave about Aunty flo "All Nigerian Recipe" and Lastly I have told you this before I don't know if you can remember but you are among the few that motivated be to carry out my passion for cooking and started my OWN RUclips CHANNEL. Thank you so muchhhhhh Aunty Flo . We love you ❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬. And yes I love how you represent Nigeria through this platform. SEE YOU SOON!
AishaZkitchen all you my children in far away countries studying, especially those in the cold countries of eastern Europe. I know all of you because once you arrive in your country of study, you must come and mark present on this channel or on Facebook 😍 I am so happy that you all pass with flying colours in your various degrees and in Kitchenology. 😍😄😉 I think I'm already subscribed to you but I will go check out your channel now. Well done! And thank you.
All Nigerian Recipes Thank you so much Aunty Flo. This really means a lot for you to even checkout my channel, I am very much honored. God bless you for touching some many people's lives. ❤️❤️ Ah and for cold , this winter is actually one of the longest. Is not agreeing to finish at alll.
Hey aunty Flo, I'm not a subscriber but I watch your videos and have been watching since 3yrs ago when I got married to my hubby who is Igbo. Because I'm not a Nigerian, I had to learn how to cook his dishes. The first dish I learnt from your Chanel is Isi-Ewu! I'm an expert now and I have been hosting Igbo meetings at our house where I cook bitter leave soup, egusi soup name it... sometimes people eat and don't believe I'm not from Nigeria.
Ewo! I am sure the members of your meeting will always look forward to your turn to host the meeting. Well done, keep it up. I was going to ask why you still have not subscribed but I see you've confirmed to Tolu that you have. Thanks!
All Nigerian Recipes Aunty Flo many thanks for replying to me. Yes o my in-laws are always looking forward to coming to ours. Not only do I cook my hubby's kind of food, I also speak small Igbo now. One day we went to one iri gi festival and one guy said something in Igbo and I responded he screamed! He said Chineke, ina asu Igbo? I said yes na! Hmmm, my hubby just sat there smiling saying this one na agu nwanyi. You see, I can even write small Igbo sef.
Hello my sister, how are you? I started watching your videos when I lived in Niamey Niger. I wanted to make Egusi Soup and it wasn’t a common dish in Niger. I first tasted Egusi in America made by my friend from Togo. I remember searching on RUclips and came across your channel.i successfully made Egusi that day and my colleagues and I ate it on our lunch break .I now reference your channel when I want to learn other Nigerian cuisine like my favorite okra stew. Thanks for sharing.
Am not ashamed to say i am a better cook because of all ur videos i came across ur video channel few years ago i had just gotten married and i wanted to impress my husband i saw a lot of videos but urs stood out for some reason. Thank you so much you are my inspiration.
You are welcome Ayo. There's no shame in that at all. The contributions from those who I am "supposedly" teaching how to cook have also helped me rethink some of my old practices in the kitchen and get better at those. Thank you. :) Congratulations on your marriage. Hubby must be impressed o. ;)
Hi Flo! I’m from Mexico and really love your recipes and lovely personality. Your happiness is contagious!! I’ve been following you like four or five years ago. The video that made me subscribe to your channel, was “Peeled beans porridge” from “Nigerian kids recipes” list. Thank you for all your tips, delicious recipes and more 🤗
Greetings to you Aunt Flo! WOW! we are aiming for 1 million subscribers now...Congratulations, well deserved!! I subscribed to your channel around June 2016...My mother, small brother and I relocated to Canada from Kenya in May 2016...I am currently a student at university pursuing my BComm degree and I am responsible for my brother now...Since moving here, I had to learn to stay true to my roots especially in terms of cooking our traditional meals(( i do not believe in the eating McDonald everyday)), my father is Igbo and mum is Kenyan, ...I always found it hard to cook the Nigerian meals, I always watched my mum do it, but I thought they had long processes and sometimes it was difficult to get the ingredients back home in Kenya..., so one day i was craving for Egusii with smoked turkey with semolina by the side....so i went on RUclips to search and behold i found you...i fell in love with how detailed you were and the 2 different ways you showed how to cook Egusii ...so i went to African shop here in Montreal, bought the ingredients and gave it a shot((after watching the video like a 1000 times lol)), and it was a success.... my palm oil was floating so well..it was delicious...i do not cook it all the time, because you know this busy schedule, i balance work and school, but when i get time, i cook in bulk...(( i invested in a small deep freezer, to ensure there is always cooked for my small chairman, my brother eats like no joke lol)), i also wanted to know how i can save on cooking time,,, i have contributed 100 views to your tomato stew video... so during summer i go to market shah, i buy the crates of tomatoes....wash them well...and blend and boil...i fry the tomatoes as well till i see the streaks then i pack them in small containers...i now show my brother how to make quick meat stew.....he is a pro!!!....anyways i need to wrap up... but i know your channel has blessed me...in so many ways i am eternally grateful, you are a brilliant mind and fun loving...i do not usually comment but i had to... this time, to remind you that your gift in cooking is a blessing to us,...i keep learning from you and look forward to all your videos...i hope to buy your cook book soon(saving up for that one)...the good Lord expand your territories and may He continue to uplift you and cover your family in Jesus Name...be blessed Aunt Flo
I had a huge smile on my face while reading this. Thanks for blessing me with this comment. And please don't wrap up. Keep going! :))) Yes, our meals take long because we cook from scratch but thank goodness most keep well in the freezer else it would be a double whammy. Say me well to your chairman! Kudos to your Mum for mastering Nigerian cooking. Thank you!
Hi aunty Flo, congratulations on your growing channel. I must say I am very pleased seeing your channel grow. I started watching you in October of 2011 when I moved away from family to London to attend college.I was 18 then and I really wanted to cook and eat GOOD food. I was craving Nigerian fried rice that weekend and decided to search on RUclips for recipes and that's how I found you. I wrote the recipe down and quickly ran to Sainsbury's. I really hated how fried rice at home turned out and then I actually saw you frying the rice, my life changed! I followed the recipe to a T and wow, I haven't cooked it any other way since. Over the years I've learnt so much from you, infact I cooked your jollof rice and my mum said 'I know say I no teach you jollof rice like that, show me how you do it'. Your jollof rice recipe is now a staple in our house. My mom now watches your channel and calls you my "RUclips mom" lol. I want to thank you for being you, your bubbly personality and all the tips and tricks you show us. God bless you. Maybe one day I can meet you and really tell you how you changed my life. I am now 24 and I still watch every single video you upload. God bless the day started recording videos and God bless you for all the recipes you have taught me, I am a better cook today because of you.
Awww DeeJuwa! My RUclips Daughter! lol @ I know say I no teach you that one! I love how you and your Mum are so open minded about these things. Even though you already knew how to prepare these, you still went ahead to try new recipes. I have received a lot of backlash about my method of preparing Fried Rice with lots of people even telling me that I am stupid for frying in batches. But most people who take the time to fry it in batches testify that there's a huge difference between the uppercase letter B and a cow's hoof print. 😂 It was this same Fried Rice that my roommates where shocked about. When I was borrowing all their stoves and pots they were like "What exactly are you cooking that you need all the stoves and pots in this hostel?" 😂 I told them that they should cool down, watch and see, because seeing is believing! My room mates used to respect me a lot as per Engineering Babe but developed a whole new type of respect for me after that day. LOL They had never seen me cook, I did not even have half a cooking utensil in Uni and the first time I would cook, I had to cook the almighty Fried Rice in a large quantity oo. Thinking about it now, I can understand their shock. Yes o God bless that day because that year my daughter was about 6 months old and she would start crying each time I wanted to make a video with most of my early videos recorded in batches over several weeks. I did not know anything about making videos including editing etc there were so many hindrances but when I looked at my inbox with a mountain of emails of questions from my website, I just had to do it.
Chai! I missed o... Thanks for your generosity. I hope there'll be a next time.😂 The fist video I watched was how to prepare fried rice. I was searching for a better a way to make it. And I loved the way you explained it even on your website. After reading the article on fried rice and watching the video I went straight Nigeria jollof rice and then Nigerian stew, I just go addicted I glued myself to reading and watching. Soon after I couldn't resist it I subscribed, searched for you and Facebook and followed you. Down till this day I always enjoy your videos. My cooking skills are now close to perfection. And then your trips to Nigeria and the market oh! I love those videos. I feel like am in Nigeria when I watch them. I can't thank you enough. You're simply the best!😍😘
Auntie miii, may you always be motivated and thrilled to post videos! I will never forget the first time I went to a Nigerian party/wedding... my palette was OVERDOSING OF BEAUTIFUL TASTE!!! And it brought me to find your videos on how to make jollof rice and moi moi.. I've been learning from you ever since. And congratulations to the 100 k n new kitchen!
I was desperate to make grilled fish at home as I was tired of paying £15 for a medium sized grilled fish in an African restaurant and your Chanel came though. It was easy to follow, your fried rice also helped brush up my cooking skills for that delicacy. Thanks for all you do.
Vitamix - that's the last blender you'd ever buy! Seriously, you watch their videos and you'll be sold. I used to have a cuisinart blender, but the minute I bought my Vitamix, I gave it away. Vitamix will crush ice to snow, would make smoothies that are as smooth as silk, will turn nuts to nut butters, you name it, it does it. And the customer service behind vitamix means you'll never want for another blender. Once you're done with a blender, get a food processor. My top choice is Breville Sous Chef.
You must try a NINJA processor, any size. If you can find a Ninja Express Chop, it's a small item that chops, minces and purees in seconds, yes seconds. TIP: use a tap, tap motion until you get the texture you want, holding the control will result in a smoothie, and don't be afraid to fill it with whatever you want to process. For a product that cost less than $20, you'll use it more than the larger processors. try on line to find one, and pay less when you order one that comes in a dented box, the appliance will not be damaged. NO, i don't work for the company I just swear by their products, the Ninja Express Chop is wicked, jet fast.
That Vitamix ... Lots of people recommended it on my Frying Tomato Stew video. I read the reviews and fell in love with it and Blendtec but na money oo. Maybe when I retire, I will buy it for myself as a retirement gift because that's when I will have time to use it to the fullest.
Come on - that's the wrong mentality - LOL. By the time you retire, you'll have fewer years to enjoy your Vitamix. I actually purchased mine from Costco at a great deal, so you should definitely check them out. One thing I love about Vitamix is it saves you money on buying other things. From fresh tomatoes, you can make tomatoes for your stew, pasta/pizza sauce, even your own tomato sauce. Sometimes, the Vitamix is way too powerful - you seriously need that pulse button. I love your Moi Moi recipe, but the Vitamix is too powerful to peel the beans using the blender method. Maybe i'll try again sometime. For now, I just peel a lot and freeze them and then blend to smooth perfection. Flo, you need a Vitamix in your life. :)
Hi Flo congratulations on your RUclips achievement , I am so happy for you because you’re hard work has been rewarded. I started watching your videos years back, when you used to make your videos without showing your face , only written comments , the ingredients and the what you’re cooking 🥘. What really made me to fall in love with your videos is the way you cook, the moment I watched couple of your videos I knew you’re a good cook, because as a good cook myself😃 I knew one when I come across it. But the video I was after the day I saw yours was how to make cake, Nigerian meat pie and puff puff because I have no clue how to make them, and the things I like most about, your videos are always on point. And as years goes by I have learnt a lot from your videos. Like the smokey liquid for the smokey jollof rice I never known about it, until you made the video and I will not forget the videos for kids food, I watched the one where your son when he was some months old was eating okro soup and semo. It really motivated me towards my children. The spaghetti surprise, in fact Flo I can go on and on your simply the best. I learnt how to make the best puff puff and meat pie from you thank you so much.
Awww! We do go way back. I am glad those videos helped you make those snacks successfully. That was my daughter eating Semo with Ogbono Soup. She was 19 months old there and I just cut her hair then so she looked like a boy there. LOL And tell you what? Then she used to swallow semo but these days, she is now 7 years old but she chews semo. I often show her the video telling her that she used to swallow semo, why downgrade to chewing now that she is older? 😂 😂 Thank you my name sake! And good cook ibe m, that's what they say o because I still believe that cooking is not even one of my strongest points. LOL :)

congratulations Aunty Flo on your 100k subscribers. I pray Jehovah will continually bless you and your family. I started following you.... can't even remember now but it's being a while and since then any recipe I make is always from this channel. I'm getting married in April and will continue making your delicious receipe for my soon to be husband as already he loves them. Thank you for the privilege of following you around as you update your kitchen it's the brain behind me equipping my new kitchen for when I get married. Thanks a lot and more videos
Aww Sista flo. congrats! U deserve even more, I have really learnt how to make certain foods since I started following this channel. I found this channel when I was struggling how to make moi-moi... i was really afraid it would not come out good. buh, i followed your steps with you during the live video and hmmmm the moi moi was so delicious. Thanks so much sis flo and for being yourself always.
Hello anty Flo, seen alot of your videos. They are usually my go to video recipe aside reading. What got me hooked was the great cooking tips you shared after the written recipe on how to prepare ogbono soup. Thank you so much for it's not just about cooking but also the tips(secret ingredient)
Hey!!! I started following u since 2013..I learnt how to make isiewu with bicarbonate soda oh..I live in Brazil...trace that video oh u will see in an old timer
I started watching your videos long before I actually subscribed 🙃.. but whenever I did subscribe, it must have been because of the Egusi soup(caking method).. I was a grad student at the time, with many Yoruba friends who taught me the frying method. But it was never ever ever as good as the one my mommy used to make. As an Igbo girl I had to learn to make correct egusi soup before I become a disgrace to my family in marriage one day 🤣. Aunty Flo I have watched that one video sooooo many times! Lol and many many others! Even if I don't win, I think it's awesome that you are putting one foot back in our fatherland. The pride you have in our people, our products, our country is admirable! Now I'm married with 2 kids, and my in laws are pleased! Thank you for all your efforts to teaching us how to cook! May God continue to bless you and your family!
Disgrace ko, prodigal daughter ni. LOL Oh, you have watched that video so many times! One of my earliest videos with no hard text (only annotations that are not even visible on mobiles) and annoying music. Chai ooo! What torture you must go through every time you watch it. I think I need to make an updated video of my special caking method! That video is one of the videos that I am proud of (in spite of the non-existent editing and poor video quality 😂) because when I released it, come and see prayers and thanks. Some people were telling me that prior to watching the video they used eggs to achieve lumpy egusi, some people told me that without osu (which is not available outside Nigeria), they could not get it to cake. And to think that was the only way that we prepared egusi soup in my home growing up, I thought the method was well known. To see people surprised that that method existed was an eye opener. It has encouraged me to share anything I know even if I think that that information is public knowledge, you never know what someone out there will find helpful. More recently I showed in one of my videos how cassava has a natural peel hence very easy to peel off like unripe plantain and someone told me that she has peeled cassava for years but she never knew that information, thanking me for sharing. This is something I would normally not mention in a video thinking that it is general knowledge but a small voice told me to talk about it in the video and viola! You are welcome and thank you for your kind words, for taking me back in time to my early videos. :D God bless you too. :)
All Nigerian Recipes Omg Aunty Flo responded to me! Thank you! Yes I was watching way back then, and spreading the word about your channel! I didn't mind the music, it was your signature lol. If you end up in my home town Onitsha for any of your kitchen fitting quests, pls share! 💜
lol @ my signature! All Nigerian Recipes Ringtone! hihihi mmh Onitsha! Onitsha is my zone nowww. My cousins used to live off Ugwunagbankpa Road (in Umuase) and I often stayed in their house. I have lots of family that live in Onitsha so a bu m amala in Onitsha. Our house is in Lagos so it's unlikely that I will go to Onitsha to hunt for utensils. But if I ever visit Onitsha, I will vlog there if ndi Onitsha and ndi Omata will not finish me with mouth while carrying camera upandan. 😂😂😂 You know Onitsha people, both indigenes and residents do not spare.
Anti Flo a big congrats to you ooo for the RUclips something!😂 can't wait to get there ooo... Your first video I came across on RUclips was "fry your best tomato stew ever!" I loved and subbed since then. God bless you for always sharing your wisdom. You are one of the people that inspires me so much remember I said it in my 5 RUclips question tag and you've not done the video oooo😉😉😉
You will get there indeed! With the kind of work you put into your channel, the only way you can go is up! Keep it up. I'm glad you loved the tomato stew video. That's one of my favourite videos to make because there was a long list of questions to answer in that video. :) Hahaha Fantastic Ina-naa! I know you will never let me off the hook on that tag. Don't worry, my 2018 resolution is to start responding to my tags. 💃💃💃 Thanks for your support and God bless you too. :)
You are really doing a great job Aunty Flo, I enjoy watching your channel. I'm one of your subscribers, I subscribed to your channel when I watched how to prepare suya spices that was 17th April 2013. And i really loved it. Please keep up the good work Ma.
So you are my go-to for african food especially igbo food on youtube....Your okpa video has made me a guru at making okpa ...and most recently I have been really enjoying your Nigerian vlogs especially when you drove through unizik junction and other towns, chai!..it brought back memories..also the vlog of your grandma making abacha is epic...the vlog on your job (offshore) was enlightening & educating...lest I forget your voice is unique...Keep up the good work.
Dear Aunty Flo, I love you kitchen setup, the space and everything in it. But am just wondering if you have relocation finally to Nigeria? Just missing the feeling that you are not living close to me again.
Congratulations on your win👍👍👍👍 thanks for your cooking skills . I watched your videos before cooking most of my meals such as Ukwa, onugbu and oha soup. I will not forget your jollof rice and tomatoe stew.
In 2012 in Uni my friends and I made pancake and it was a flop.... So I goggled how to make Nigerian pancake and your website popped up and I printed out the recipe and made the pancake. Since then I know my dictionary of nigerian recipe for soup especially. Thanks for being our online mum.
Wow! I'm a new subscriber to your Channel. I've watched a couple of your videos in the past and like them; although I am not Nigerian or have ever tasted Nigerian food. I am a Black American and I enjoy trying new foods. I said wow at the beginning of my comment because I happened on to an old video of yours where you show what you do or did at that time for a living. I was curious of what you did for a living because you mentioned in this video that your job had given you power tools . I wonder to myself what field was she in that they would give her power tools . And funny thing is I was not searching to find out what was your career, I just happened on to your video that said what you do for a living . I am AMAZED! Looking at you and your stature I would not think oil exploration .WOW! It looks like such an amazing job. Are you still in oil exploration? I would have never guessed that that's what you did as a career. Before today I've only seen your cooking videos. I am a woman tractor trailer driver; and most people are shocked when I tell them that. because I am 5 feet 1 inch in height. It's so amazing to see a woman(A BLACK WOMAN) in a field like that. Not to bring race into it. It's just amazing to see a black woman in a field like that. I would have loved an experience like that. It's probably too late for me now though. I am a 42 year old mother of two young children and I'm planning for retirement. Anyway thank you for sharing Nigerian dishes and also for sharing parts of your life with us. I wish you and your family all the best with this new chapter of your life. God bless!
well well well,for me I was whiling away my time with my phone trying to know more abt the internet sometime last two years and I stumble on allnigerian recipe so curious to know what it is all about,I felt in love with it and tried cooking moimoi which came out so so so delicious, my friends keep asking me how I cooked it had to refer them to all Nigerian recipe, thanks,Dalu Chinyere for allnigerian recipes God bless you for blessing many homes
Hi Flo, once again thanks for sharing your kitchen and cooking skills with us. You have inspired and improved my cooking skills more than you know. Congrats on your surpassing 100k subscribers. So I have been watching your channel for over 2 years now and have since been a more active fan. Anyways keep up with the good work and yes as your name implies (Chinyere) God has given you this great talent and platform among others. Greetings to your family and I can't wait for you to churn out more videos and grow your subscribers off course with our help. I like your taste in appliance and cooking utensils. God bless you!
And to be honest Chibuike I feel like you've been active for over 5 years! Thank you so much for you support and encouragement! You are the best! Yes o. I have a simple taste, anything that is too complicated both in design, usage and cleaning will have me running far away from it. 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing this ma'am. I am really shocked at what came out of the morter and pistol, we really need to be careful what we eat. By the way, congrats to you and more grease to your elbows!
The love for traditional foods made me subcribe I'm Zimbabwean and like to try food from the continent l have learned a lot In many ways our food from the south is different but is the same if it makes sense . Keep sharing and congratulations on your RUclips over 100k
All ur videos really interest me because I like cooking good food and learning new recipes, ur personality ure my role model yassss and u make me feel at home.
Congratulations on your new kitchen - it looks great. Can't wait to see it completed. Congrats on your RUclips achievement. I've learnt so much from you over the years that my meat pie is so much better than the meat pies I used to buy - and it's not just me saying it - everyone who's tried it says the same. I don't want the $50, I want the signed cookbook. I've posted a few times since discovering you in 2011(oops :) ) and my family has been so amazed by what I've cooked and even are shocked to know I learnt to cook online. For now, I'll settle for your cookbook eBook format.
Badjujuwan I remember you from way back, in my early days on RUclips. I created my channel in 2011 so it's probably in 2012? You were very active and I remember your username. You are one of the few people that have never changed their usernames. LOL Thanks for watching and sticking with me all these years. But chai ooo. Are you sure that the signed copy will work? I ask because there are a few huddles with sending it across the pond.
Beautiful Aunty Flo... I enjoy watching your videos and it has made me a better cook. The way you explain things makes it so easy for me to understand. I aspire to be like you. Keep up the good work... Idi too much!!!
Flo nwannem congratulations on the well deserved RUclips plaque! Your channel should have more than just 100k subscribers because your content is top-notch 🖒I can't remember exactly when I subscribed, yes it's been that long! 😀 Your recipes have influenced my cooking in so many ways but the recipes that stands out for me were the full option abacha recipe, how to preserve fresh naija produce (for those of us in ala bekee) and the tiger nut milk recipe too (hmmm that tiger nut milk eh! story for another day, lol) Your originality is what drew me to your channel, I also enjoy your cheeky banter 😀 I will stop here as I don't intend to make this epistle of mine too lengthy! Ji si ike nwannem 💜
Ajo Nwa! 😂 That Tiger Nut Milk are for ajo nwas like us, keep enjoying! Please come back here and complete this epistle. If you need extra sheet tell me o. lol Thank you so much. I can only be me else I would have stopped uploading videos a long time ago. :) The things I say in my videos are exactly how my Mum would say them to me in those days. Those words entered my brain and grew tap root there. So another reason I make Nigerian cooking videos is to get my Mum's voice out of my head. hehehe
Yipppppyyyyy 👏 👍 congrats Flo. I am Nigerian but live in Canada. I have watched your channel for years now. I have learnt a lot here and there form you like the smoked the fish idea, Suya spice, puff puff and oat meal powder in a soup oh my oh my😀 you are the best 👌❤ I love your videos awesome. But the question are you moving to Nigeria permanently?
The smoked fish and suya spice recipes have brought me so much good will! The kind of prayers I get because of those two videos? This is because the only option outside Nigeria is that salty smoked mackerel that melts once you touch it and the suya spice isthe besk kept secret amongst Mai Suyas. Such are the blessings of the opportunity to share on this platform. I am glad you found the videos helpful. No, I am not moving to Nigeria yet. Until there's 24 hours electricity. Lack of 24/7 light is one thing I can't deal with when I'm in Nigeria.
I know the give away is over but I wanted you to know. Because you your recipes, I keep a Nigerian make fed. I’m from a small town of Texas and clueless of Nigerian meals. Let me tell you I followed your online recipes and was clueless to your RUclips. Ohhhhhhh honey glad I found you here.
Congratulations! do u have a bigger ikwe? My favourite food since i was a kid is rice and ofe akwu. When i return home from boarding school, my mum would always cook it for me, i go chop sotay, i go begin cry. Like who does that? Chop and quench. LOL. Your kitchen really looks great.
Greetings aty flo,was trying to make meatpie for the first time but couldn't and went on line (youtube)searched for nigerian meatpie and yours some came fort,watched about four videos but yours was so easy and simple (that's was about 7 or 8 years ago).Then saw your doughnut recipe and immediately I followed and now I'm so perfect in doughnut all thanks to u (and mind u I have never made doughnut before but with the help of your video my first attempt came out perfectly well) Then fried rice (cos I used to fry all my fried rice at once then cook like jollof rice)till I watched yours and u even said it in your video that one can only achieve a perfect fried rice in badges. Then substuite for akanwa (potash)was trying to make abacha and I had no potash at home went to channel typed it and luckily u just uploaded a video about it(using sodium bicarbonate)u saved me that day honestly or is it your "bread roll" tried it for the first time and it came out perfect.The least is endless....Had to add myself in "Rate my Nigerian food".I even wrote u then telling u how I needed your cook book but was not able to get it then.Your doughnut video stands out for me cos I never tried it before unlike the meatpie but followed your video step after step and even had to pause and play back to avoid mistakes and it sure came out so PERFECT.Thanks from italy.
Aww Ifeoma! That was great to read. So many videos that you find helpful. :) I am glad to help indeed. Yes, one good thing about snacks is that they have exact measurements so once one follows the recipe step by step, the person will get the best results. Problem starts when we try to alter and make substitutions to a recipe without first of all trying it exactly as shown by the creator. The best way is to follow the recipe like Mumu lol the first time before making any changes. And all my snacks recipes I make them several times before I record a video and upload so the videos are usually the best I could make them. Well done for doing a great job with the recipes. :) Oh, you are my neighbour? See Italy, see Spain. :)
Hi namesake...lol Funny though I've been following you for years for various recipes, you're simply the most detailed in showing recipes BUT I only just subscribed (I don't know why...lol). You know what intrigued me the most about you, when I watched the video of you working offshore. I couldn't just reconcile how could manage that, your family and have time for a thriving youtube channel...well done. You inspire me Congrats on 100k once again
Chinyere M sake m ooo! Thank you so much! Yes, that video shocked lots of people who do not know me. On the other hand, this my cooking channel is a greater shock for those who know me because the offshore job is more ME. Shock vs Shock! 🤣 As for not subscribing, it happens to me too. I usually watch videos on RUclipsTV and when I discover new channels I may watch their videos for so long without subscribing because it is not convenient to subscribe on TV. But trust RUclips, once you bingewatch a particular channel's videos it will start recommending that channel's videos to you anyway, so much that you feel like you've already subscribed.
Chaii Aunty Chy this give away no reach me oo! how on earth did i not have subscription to watch earlier and pack my cookery stories on Nigerian Recipes? Aunty Chy you are doing well, Congrats to the winners ee no easy.
Yeslzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz: Am glad the kitchen is gradually taking shape and coming true so that i can come and tasting tasting all our fooods. Got to know about ur channel from the moment i decided to upgrade my cooking skills especially with regards to Nigerian meals and snacks but what beats me anytime i am searching for how to cook up any recipe that i aint familiar with is your channel comes up most.little wonder i have stuck with ur methods cos of ur attention to detail and simplified ease of explanation. Thank you and God's blessing upon you and ur family.love ya mama
Thank you! Abimbola. RUclips is too smart, it has seen the kind of videos that you love that's why it always delivers when you search 😉. But wait o ... who is cooking and who is tasting? 😂😂So you think it is only your girl that will be enjoying all your cooking? I am standing in the queue o to taste your different orisirisi because those delicious meals for which your girl tanda for there, I want to taste them too. So get ready. Much love to you too. :)
My name sake thank you! I was born and bred in Nigeria so I spoke English first before Spanish and you know once you can speak a language especially one you learnt from childhood, it will never depart from you. :)
Oh wow! I screamed when you said Bello UNN. I grew up in UNN and went to school there. (Chemistry). My sisters were in Bello and Mary Slessor hall too. I’ll chat you on Facebook. No wonder I felt like there was a connection. Maybe I used to see you then. Congratulations great Lioness.
Hahaha! It depends on when your sister was in Bello. I graduated 1999 Electronic Engineering and I was in Bello Hall all through my stay in UNN. If you visited your sister often in the 90s, you may have seen me. Thank you! :)
This is late (but it doesn’t matter lol) Congratulations Aunty Flo, thank you so much for being an amazing cook, especially the way you explain everything as to why you use the methods you do. The first video that made me subscribe?, that’s hard because there were many recipes and even when I was already subscribed, I’d unconsciously subscribe again. Also there are tips that you share that no other Nigerian food vlogger shares especially tips for pregnant women, like the alternative to potash. I appreciate everything you have been doing and may God continue blessing your hands, which are the symbols of your labour In Jesus name, Amen. Oh yes I have one question too lol. I cook for a friend who is pregnant and she’s craving pepper soup, I’ve been told there are certain spices, which are not good. Which spices are those? or should I not cook it for her at all?. Thank you Aunty Flo 😁
Actually, sis flo I followed u 2015then ur video don't really show ur face,but I followed because u always explain very well and u always tell us the quantity of ingredients u used ,one more I found out u are my Igbo sister
Yes Viola, I only recently started showing my face as I could not keep running away from it. Some people were ready to come to my house and drag me out. LOL
I use Ajax it works well too also my first mortar and pestle was made of wood lol and it cracked I have a steel one now and I really love it and sunlight dish washing liquid as we call it here in USA and congrats on your plaque
Thank you khanbibi. Steel mortar, wow! I had to go Google it, it looks cute, something I would love to have in my kitchen for keepsake. Please what is Ajax? I could not find anything related to cooking when I googled that.
Congrats Flo on your "conventional employee award" I've being following you since nineteen kpengbe. Can't really remember the video that got me hooked but you introduced me to using oats to thickened soups and how to use blender for cocoyam too. That has been a life saver. I don't have a mortal, never wanted to. But as an unapologetic follow follow of #allnigerianfoods I shall visit surualaba soon.
Ifunanya De Beloved no be small coventional employee award. Thank you! I'm glad you got some helpful tips here. I also saw the ikwe at Oyingbo market recently so if that one is closer to you, you can check there. 😘
Honestly, I've been following you for so long, I can't remember what video made me subscribe. I do remember making your Ofe Nsala. I'd never tried it before cuz I left Nigeria as a child. It was sooo goood I kept eating and eating till I almost consciousness. lol.
Hello Aunt Flo, congratulations on everything u have achieved so far, I'm happy for u sis. Actually, I have been watching and learning a lot from ur RUclips videos without being a subscriber. But wat made me to finally subscribe was d day u uploaded a video that u were gonna go live once u get to 100 subscribers, then u had 99 subscribers. Even b4 I finished watching ur video that day, I had already clicked d subscribe button, I just said in my mind "well then, y not complete d 100 subscriber, she's looking for ". I also watched d live video as well, where everyone was asking one or another. And since that day onwards, I don't miss any of ur videos each time u upload. It's been really wonderful and inspiring watching ur videos. Especially wen u travelled for ur sis's wedding. 😃😃
Hi Flo,I connect to you thur food channel be on how you where showing every stuff you brought back from nigeria. I fell in love quick with you tube channel . Some time last year. You brought melon wash bitter leaf , ogbobo; indomie, abcha ; pick milk ,and so many stuff from Nigeria .You were even telling us that you can send us small quantities of any stuff we want I was very impressed with you job channel and how you reply to question so quick.that is what make me to subscribe to channel. Thanks
Congrats on your latest achievements. More Grace. I subscribed to your channel 6yrs ago and the first video I watched was the fried rice recipe when I only hear you talking in the video. Hope to win for my daughter. She is 3yrs old.
LOl @ Ese! I didn't even talk in that video. My first fried rice video was just video and annoying music. All of you who watched my old videos in those days and still watch them till today are the best! Then, I did not know anything about editing but I was determined to upload those videos any which way because I was getting lots of questions on those recipes on my website. Thank you! :) Greetings to your daughter.
Hello My sister. I found your channel way back when. I was really intrigued about Nigeria's culture after watching some Nollywood movies. I started searching about your fashion(Which I love), Your peoples, and your foods. I found your hands! Lol I have been a follower ever since. I think at one time I asked you to be my Third Mother!lol I would love a copy of you cookbook. Love from America!
Oh My God! You found my hands! That's how I know who has been watching from way back. Madam Cooking Hands they nicknamed me at some point. lol Much love to you too. About the cookbook, I think we will do a special cookbook party/giveaway at some point because lots of people are more interested in that than the price money. :) It's time I did routine giveaways anyway. Thank you for sticking with me all these years.
Awww your kitchen is coming along nicely! You know after watching your video on the best cookware for cooking African foods I went and found PROPER cookware immediately! 🤗 Congratulations on your RUclips achievement 🎉🎉🎉🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬. I've loved your channel from the first video I watched which was How To Fry Your Best Stew🤗💚. I really appreciate you, I'm born and raised here in The States(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be exact😎lol)and I just have a passion to learn all things African lol and since my friend was from Nigeria I feel in love with that place! Watching your videos has really brought me closer, of course I love, love, LOVE all of your cooking videos but the ones where you are out in the markets have become my favorites as well! Keep them coming Dear Sister! I need to email you photos of all of the recipes I attempt to make so you can tell me if I'm cooking like a PROFER West African Woman!🤣🤣😎 Many Blessings to You and Your Family!
Stephanie aww! I'm glad that cookware video spoke to you. Sometimes all we need to do is change the cookware and everything will be alright. Thanks Stephanie. It is really taking shape.
Chai! Ifugo keyholder hapuzia ego! :D :D I don't blame you, it is so cute but my sister ekwero ka the second one daluo ani after I made this video, she grabbed it. hahaha
Hey Anty Chinyere! I just subscribed to your channel. The picture of the "ikwes" first attracted me to watch this video and then your igbotic accent killed and finished me 😂😂😂"ololololooo". I hope to learn more from you. May God continue to bless all your efforts. Chinny watching from Portland Oregon USA.
Olololo! Internet citizens, you never know what they will love! 😂 While this my sexy Igbotic accent is chasing away some people, some people are attracted to it. You are highly welcome Chinny nwanne m. :) Settle in and enjoy the show. What would you like? I have Isi Ewu, Nkwobi and co. 😉 Thank you and God bless you. :)
Hi Flo. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. I'm glad to be one of your many subscribers. I'm a foodie @ heart. I love good food and I love to cook. I subscribed to your channel sometime in 2015. I believe my first video was "How to prepare Ogbono soup". I think I have downloaded more than half your RUclips videos because I just love all of them. I have them all on my phone and watch them again and again. You make cooking look so easy and attractive. However, my favourite video is "How to make Okpa". I loveeee Okpa. Thanks for teaching me how to make it and sharing your knowledge with the world. Your friendly banter and simplistic style of cooking is just amazing. Keep it up and I'am sure we'll get to 1M subscribers soon. 💃Are you now in Lagos??? I live in Lagos and hope to meet you someday. Bye Byyyeee... See you soooooon... 😂😂😂
Chai Okpa Wawa and chilled Coke, the best food that ever was! That 1M subscribers, it looks like climbing Mt. Everest! Make sure you bring your friends and family. 😘 😘 Thank you so much. :)

Thank you so much Flo. You are a blessing and good things will always come your way Amen.
Gift received with many thanks, Ma. God bless.
I’m Jamaican married to an Ibo man in the USA. besides helping my Yoruba friends blend tomatoes, I had nooo clue about cooking Nigerian food.
In my search to learn to cook my husband’s favorite food Egusi, I stumbled across your recipe. It was so detailed and easy to follow. Since then I’m a pro at cooking Egusi, making tomato stew, fried rice, okra soup thanks in major part to you. I am so confident in my cooking such that I hosted a village meeting and did all the cooking solo. I got rave reviews.
My husband was so proud lol! Funny enough I subscribed after watching your Seismic career video and was so impressed by your smarts and line of work. That got me hooked. My husband is from Enugu so I showed him your video of your sisters’ wedding with all the cooking and food done especially by your grandma.
He loved the video. what I admire about you is that as large as your channel is, you take the time to reply to some comments rather than ignore them like a lot of RUclipsrs do. Anyway sorry for the long post. I don’t need the money, please give it to a student who is more in need. Just want to appreciate you and congratulate you on your YT achievements. God bless you.
Queen Athelene you are an angel! From learning all these meals to hosting meetings??? All you my originally non-nigerian wives do not know how proud I am of you. So many success stories of people preparing dishes of cultures they do not know anything about with awesome results. It's not easy at all. Thank you Queen for all you do. You are so kind. 😘
Another Kitchen equipment update. My kitchen is taking shape. Enjoy! 💃😍💕
Pls ma, does your maxi oven works with electricity? Have not been able to get how to set the electric oven, I only know how to operate the oven with gas
Hi flo, just want to say a very big thanks for always taking me back to the village and the market at Umuze, it kept remedy me of my trip to Christmas every year in Nigeria.
I have known you since 2011 and you are a blessings to my family and cooking .
In 2011 just having my twins in Florida,on your channel was where I learn to make puff puff, chin chin and the Nigerian meat pie. I couldn’t thank you enough. God bless you and yours forever dear🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I know I am late but your videos bring these happiness to me that I can hardly explain...thanks a million
Ada anyi you have tried, trust me you have been a great influence to a lot of people especially me because I really was not the type of person who loves to cook because I only know basics but watching you and learning all this food as helped my marriage, my hubby use to feel bad but won't say it because I really couldn't do some ceremonial cooking like abacha, ugba, ji abubo, etc but now am a chef at home, i never stop cooking even my kids loves to watch you especially my 2nd son that would say put Flo all nigerian recipe (lol) it encouraged me to cook more and I have you to thank. Continue with the good work and I pray the grace of God upon you and your loved ones in Jesus name Amen. And congrats on the plaque ji si ke nwanne nkem.
Ogo Nwadi OMG that part about your son is so cute! My kids now know the voices of my favourite RUclipsrs too and they know who I'm watching even without looking at the screen. 😂
I will thank you! God bless. ❤
Hi Flo, Am from Esan, and am one of your subscribers. I started watching your vlog in 2013 when i was dating your igbo brother who is from imo state. your first video i watched was how to make Abacha and Ugba as a surprise to him and now we're happily married and expecting our first child to be out anytime from now.indeed you are really helpful to me in making traditional igbo food.
Lucy Joy aww my wife! That Abacha really captured my brother's mumu button. 💃💃💃 Congratulations and best wishes with our little one. I await his/arrival. 😉😍 Well done!
All Nigerian Recipes Thanks
I watched your Nigerian cake recipes and fell in love with your videos..and you know what i love your accent it makes it easier to understand more of the igbo traditional meals..
Aunty Flo congratulations. You have been doing a very nice job. I prefer your channel to every other food channel because I noticed your way of cooking is so real and original. For example, you will see other channels preparing okpa with Maggi and crayfish, but you know and understand that it's not the real thing. You understand how all these local spices like Ehuru, uziza, okpei, etc gives some certain foods a nice taste and flavor. I have watched virtually all your videos and I must say that "anya ruru gi ani" I'm planning to make akpu very soon! Lol....I live in Chicago by the way.
Adaora Onuorah same here!
Adaora Onuorah oh Ada thank you so much for the compliment. ❤ Yes o, as our people say "ihe amuru amu ka ihe agworo agwo." And tell you what? I did not know that I have that knowledge in me but when I get a question on that, my brain goes straight to the deepest part of its hard drive to fetch the info. It was when mmadu was too young, unconsciously acquiring information. 😂😂😂
Adaora Onuorah and chai! I just saw the akpu part! Correct Ada mmadu. 👍👍👍
Autnny Flo, I'm Chinyere too!! (That's connection number 1)! You brought me and mommy so much closer together with your videos. My mommy was so pleased that I wanted to learn to cook, so every new video u posted, we would watch, and I would attempt it, and she would give me her own tips along the way. Nigerian food is so much more diverse than rice, stew, and jollof, and that's why mom and I LOVE you!!! Congratulations on 100K!!
Thank you name sake! ❤ Indeed, our meals are so diverse not everyday rice, rice and semo. :D
Greetings to Mummy for encouraging you. :)
Hi Aunty, congratulations. You are the perfect RUclips channel for making Nigerian food. I started watching your RUclips videos ever since I came across how to fry perfect Nigerian stew, which is very challenging to me then. But now I'm very grateful for making those videos for those of us who lack the trick in frying the perfect Nigerian stew. I have been watching your videos ever since then, and I can proudly say that my cooking skills have now improved. All thanks to you. Congratulations once again.
Thank you. I am glad that the videos have been helpful to you.
Thank you soooooooo much for this video.
I actually clicked it for the mortar and pestle part.
My new mortar and pestle have been washing off that red colour all the time.
I didn't know I have to soak it that long....
I have been so "depressed" 🙍 as to how to make the colour stop washing off...
Came on Google and RUclips searching for "how to start using a new mortar and pestle", "how to finish or file a new mortar and pestle " (LOL!....am I preparing for a carpentry job, tho?🙆) and "how to wash a new mortar and pestle", and the likes....Almost got frustrated until one of the searches suggested your channel.
...and then I clicked, hoping you would say something about it in passing.....AND! YOU! DID!💃💃💃💃
This is quite an eye opener!
Danke!🙏
Congratulations Anty Flo. To be honest I started reading about your cookery from Google about five years ago. Three years ago I got married and since I love cooking I wanted to impress hubby and my inlaws I started watching your video on RUclips. The one that really struck me was the video on extra virgin coconut oil. It was very detailed and I loved it so much and I indeed did practice at home. Ever since then I have been looking forward to see your videos. Thanks for being my culinary teacher
I am glad you found the video helpful Phoebe. :)
Another beneficial oil: carrot oil coming up tomorrow. You will love that one.
Thank you!
Awww congratulations aunty, you deserve it! And I just want to say that your skin looks AMAZING in this video. It is literally GLOWING! Please do a skin care routine video!
O oh my! All the people asking for beauty tips from a cook, you are all very brave. 😍😍😍
All Nigerian Recipes That means it's time to diversify lol! And one thing I noticed is you've never ever had one single pimple! That means you either have great eating habits or beauty routines which can benefit us. You can make it an offshoot topic, like that time when we followed you to work offshore.
I’ve been subscribed for so long. I fell in love with your channel when you did the video about your offshore job. Was so inspired. Oh, I really love your village tours please do more.😊☺️
rita onuoha aww! I will do more whenever I go to the village. ❤
.I subscribed because of a video where your baby daughter was eating. She ate with such gusto and she was so cute! I said yes! One day I will have my family and my children will eat my food! And 5 years later it happened! And my egusi soup is delicious 😋
Aww congratulations on getting your heart's desires. That video goes way back! Wow! My daugher was 19 months old in that video and she is now 7 years old. Wow wow wow. Well done for doing a great job of that Egusi Soup. :)
Congrats on your youtube achievement. I subscribed to your channel about 2 years ago when I was looking for how to do puff puff for my daughter holy communion so after that day i fall in love with your method of cooking etc.later in 2016 I started my own cooking channel on youtube. yes, oo mortar and pestle are very important oo no matter all the kitchen gadget and appliances. I even bought one all the way from Nigeria to Ireland and my friends were laughing at me but I told me that they will not understand
I love all sorts of Mortar & pestles... granite, wooden, ceramic. It's just a nice decorative touch in every kitchen.
Hello aunty Flo, nice video as usual. Being a foodie myself, but a lazy cook, I usually run to RUclips for inspiration and guidance on difficult-to-make meals. Since I stumbled on your samosa video in 2015 (I think I was a year late, cause you had put the video up a year before), I began to watch more and more of your other videos and fell in love with your channel. I now get to eat whatever I want, whenever I want. Thanks for making cooking such a easy feat.
Congrats my sister, wish you more of.good things in life. You would not know what you channel has done to so many people, myself inclusive, I remember the first time I stumbled on your channel trying to make meatpie, I used your Nigeria meat pie recipes and since then I have addicted to your channel.for.any Nigeria food and believe me you have not failed me in any way. Keep the good work. Love you and stay bless
Thank you Khadijah. God bless you too. I am glad the Nigerian Meat Pie recipe video was helpful.
You are welcome Oluwadara. :)
Hi aunty Flo, congratulations on your youtube plaque, you deserve it! I stumbled upon your video in my quest for the "perfect" Nigerian meatpie and got hooked😊😄😃( 2012). Your videos saved me/opened my eyes to the unimaginable possibilities in the world of cooking. for instance, during my uni days in Belarus (eastern Europe) I couldn't imagine that making bitter leaf soup was remotely possible without "ogiri" and cocoyam... (my mum still doesn't believe it would taste like ofe ede) but I have leant how to improvise with leaves, oat and a lot more (the struggle is real where there are no African stores). Thank you for making me know that anything is possible, if only we tried.
Thanks for helping me stay connected to Nigerian recipes in my six yrs of medschool
sending you a hugs and kisses 😍😘
Doris Ejike our Doc! I've mentioned it in my reply to another person on this video ... There was a time it seemed like all questions I was getting about alternatives were from Nigerian students in Eastern Europe so I feel you my sister. I know how difficult it is to survive in a place that does not have an atom of Nigerian food! I am happy that one by one, you all are able to overcome by using the information available to you. 👍👍👍 Thank you.
Congratulations on this milestone,1 million subscribers in view.Thank you for putting out great content, I started watching your channel in 2016, first video was how to make fried rice,( not mixed rice) lol, it came out lovely , I subscribed immediately and Binge watched all your videos,was impressed that you showed details that made these classic Nigerian dishes, alternatives where necessary( especially for people living outside Nigeria) and so many helpful tips, I have been practicing pouring out food immediately into plastic bowls to stop the cooking process and then cool, just to mention one,☺have tried so many receipts too. Its been a journey with you and growth on my cooking skills too, thank you Aunty Flo
Your simplicity got me attracted to your channel. The video that really pushed me to subscribe is the one on how to prepare ur stew. You speak real and you don't fake anything.
Oshama Ushie thank you. 😘
All Nigerian Recipes thanks Ma
Beautiful Anty Flo. Congratulations . I just love you❤
Much love to you too NG! I just checked out your channel and subscribed ozigbo ozigbo. Well done! :)
All Nigerian Recipes What!!!! 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃. Oh, Thank you so much Anty Flooooooo❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you for boosting my moral.😁😁❤ I will never forget! You are one of a kind. I appreciate. God bless you more❤🤗😍
Congratulations aunt FLO for your over 100,000 subscribers!
HI Aunty Flo . Congratulations on 100 ,000 youtube subscribers . I have been watching your videos since 2013 . When I left my parents house to go school I was so naive when it came with kitchen matters. Watching your video especially how to make puff puff , meat pie and how to fry tomato for stew ( which was a life saver for me) and least I forget , your fried rice recipe saved me in the first year in another country. Even if you don't get to pick me I am so happy you got your RUclips plaque. Congrats again
Thank you so much Kiki. I'm glad that all these recipes have been helpful to you. :)
Congratulations Flo, Bravo for the award, you worth it! My family and i love you. Carry on with what you do, you are so good in it
Thank you Joyce. Much love to you too.
Why I believe I relate with you is because of your blog. I appreciate how you painstakingly write out your recipes and then the approach/method you deployed in achieving the meal. Although, you attach the RUclips video to all your delicacy blogs, Internet connectivity from 7-8 years ago never let me be great. So, I stopped attempting to click on play to watch. Reading through your blog at that time sufficed for me. Putting it in popular social media lingo, your meal preparation is bae. So, Imagine my excitement when I went to the United Kingdom for my postgraduate studies five years ago. You know how you finally have access to high speed non-buffering internet connection for the first time and you go nuts surfing the web? I am sure a few of us from these parts of the world can relate. RUclips then became one of my frequent pastimes. At that time (and I’m almost certain now), when you type any Nigerian recipe/delicacy in the search bar (as someone who has never visited your channel), your channel comes up first more often than not.
I am even more excited that you are now in Nigeria and setting up your home (kitchen). This makes it more real because this time, whenever you put up a recipe, I am sure that achieving the meal is even more feasible in terms of the ingredients incorporated. In addition, as someone looking to redecorating my kitchen, I find your most recent videos, helpful.
Lastly, I have also watched your non-food related videos, ie, the on the job (offshore) videos and they are very inspiring.
You are an all rounder woman and I bless your maker for giving you the initiative to take up this hobby.
Thank you for your nice words Prim!
I feel you on the going nuts! Like a child in a toy shop! I hope you were able to catch some sleep in the first few days. 😂😂 That's what I always say on Facebook. Some people only know about Facebook and WhatsApp hence they do not know what they are missing. They can't even visit the website because they are on free browsing or something like that. Some even get annoyed when I post links to RUclips videos. They would rather I charge them for cooking classes on WhatsApp when these endless hours of videos are on RUclips for free. Of course they need internet access but it is still cheaper than paying for classes that will give one limited information when there's endless information on the world wide web.
Internet access is expensive for most people in Nigeria but even some people who can afford it do not invest in it, they would rather invest 100 times the money into buying disposable fashion items and all that. LOL Having access to all parts of the internet especially videos is like having a new lease of life. Like "So this part of the internet exists and I have been missing out?"
I visit Nigeria often but I have not relocated yet. I am glad you find the most recent videos helpful. I thank God and you guys for the opportunity to upload these videos because mmmh, never in my wildest dreams, never.
I know exactly what you are talking about. I'm sure most of us still experience this, especially with the constant buffers.
Yassssssss this is definitely for us . Congratulations Aunty Flo because yes in my head I call you aunty. But on a serious not , I started following your channel when was in my 1st year in the university in Hungary which is (4 years now ), the first video I watched I think was your meat pie and Sausage rolls recipe. Since then I was hooked up on your channel, because of your detailed recipe and your very nice sense of humor. All my friends know how much I rave about Aunty flo "All Nigerian Recipe" and Lastly I have told you this before I don't know if you can remember but you are among the few that motivated be to carry out my passion for cooking and started my OWN RUclips CHANNEL. Thank you so muchhhhhh Aunty Flo . We love you ❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬. And yes I love how you represent Nigeria through this platform. SEE YOU SOON!
AishaZkitchen all you my children in far away countries studying, especially those in the cold countries of eastern Europe. I know all of you because once you arrive in your country of study, you must come and mark present on this channel or on Facebook 😍 I am so happy that you all pass with flying colours in your various degrees and in Kitchenology. 😍😄😉 I think I'm already subscribed to you but I will go check out your channel now. Well done! And thank you.
All Nigerian Recipes Thank you so much Aunty Flo. This really means a lot for you to even checkout my channel, I am very much honored. God bless you for touching some many people's lives. ❤️❤️ Ah and for cold , this winter is actually one of the longest. Is not agreeing to finish at alll.
It is the coldest winter in years.
All Nigerian Recipes definitely it is. I can't wait until is over lol.
Hey aunty Flo, I'm not a subscriber but I watch your videos and have been watching since 3yrs ago when I got married to my hubby who is Igbo. Because I'm not a Nigerian, I had to learn how to cook his dishes. The first dish I learnt from your Chanel is Isi-Ewu! I'm an expert now and I have been hosting Igbo meetings at our house where I cook bitter leave soup, egusi soup name it... sometimes people eat and don't believe I'm not from Nigeria.
aunty mimi subscribe na
bolus tolu lol...I have subscribed Dear
Tolu had got my back! 💃💃💃 Thanks dear. :)
Ewo! I am sure the members of your meeting will always look forward to your turn to host the meeting. Well done, keep it up. I was going to ask why you still have not subscribed but I see you've confirmed to Tolu that you have. Thanks!
All Nigerian Recipes Aunty Flo many thanks for replying to me. Yes o my in-laws are always looking forward to coming to ours. Not only do I cook my hubby's kind of food, I also speak small Igbo now. One day we went to one iri gi festival and one guy said something in Igbo and I responded he screamed! He said Chineke, ina asu Igbo? I said yes na! Hmmm, my hubby just sat there smiling saying this one na agu nwanyi. You see, I can even write small Igbo sef.
Hello my sister, how are you? I started watching your videos when I lived in Niamey Niger. I wanted to make Egusi Soup and it wasn’t a common dish in Niger. I first tasted Egusi in America made by my friend from Togo. I remember searching on RUclips and came across your channel.i successfully made Egusi that day and my colleagues and I ate it on our lunch break .I now reference your channel when I want to learn other Nigerian cuisine like my favorite okra stew. Thanks for sharing.
Am not ashamed to say i am a better cook because of all ur videos i came across ur video channel few years ago i had just gotten married and i wanted to impress my husband i saw a lot of videos but urs stood out for some reason. Thank you so much you are my inspiration.
You are welcome Ayo. There's no shame in that at all. The contributions from those who I am "supposedly" teaching how to cook have also helped me rethink some of my old practices in the kitchen and get better at those. Thank you. :)
Congratulations on your marriage. Hubby must be impressed o. ;)
He is thanks
You are so knowledgeable. I’m learning a lot from you.
I forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS on over a hundred thousand subscribers!!!!
Hi Flo! I’m from Mexico and really love your recipes and lovely personality. Your happiness is contagious!! I’ve been following you like four or five years ago. The video that made me subscribe to your channel, was “Peeled beans porridge” from “Nigerian kids recipes” list. Thank you for all your tips, delicious recipes and more 🤗
Greetings to you Aunt Flo! WOW! we are aiming for 1 million subscribers now...Congratulations, well deserved!! I subscribed to your channel around June 2016...My mother, small brother and I relocated to Canada from Kenya in May 2016...I am currently a student at university pursuing my BComm degree and I am responsible for my brother now...Since moving here, I had to learn to stay true to my roots especially in terms of cooking our traditional meals(( i do not believe in the eating McDonald everyday)), my father is Igbo and mum is Kenyan, ...I always found it hard to cook the Nigerian meals, I always watched my mum do it, but I thought they had long processes and sometimes it was difficult to get the ingredients back home in Kenya..., so one day i was craving for Egusii with smoked turkey with semolina by the side....so i went on RUclips to search and behold i found you...i fell in love with how detailed you were and the 2 different ways you showed how to cook Egusii ...so i went to African shop here in Montreal, bought the ingredients and gave it a shot((after watching the video like a 1000 times lol)), and it was a success.... my palm oil was floating so well..it was delicious...i do not cook it all the time, because you know this busy schedule, i balance work and school, but when i get time, i cook in bulk...(( i invested in a small deep freezer, to ensure there is always cooked for my small chairman, my brother eats like no joke lol)), i also wanted to know how i can save on cooking time,,, i have contributed 100 views to your tomato stew video... so during summer i go to market shah, i buy the crates of tomatoes....wash them well...and blend and boil...i fry the tomatoes as well till i see the streaks then i pack them in small containers...i now show my brother how to make quick meat stew.....he is a pro!!!....anyways i need to wrap up... but i know your channel has blessed me...in so many ways i am eternally grateful, you are a brilliant mind and fun loving...i do not usually comment but i had to... this time, to remind you that your gift in cooking is a blessing to us,...i keep learning from you and look forward to all your videos...i hope to buy your cook book soon(saving up for that one)...the good Lord expand your territories and may He continue to uplift you and cover your family in Jesus Name...be blessed Aunt Flo
I had a huge smile on my face while reading this. Thanks for blessing me with this comment. And please don't wrap up. Keep going! :))) Yes, our meals take long because we cook from scratch but thank goodness most keep well in the freezer else it would be a double whammy. Say me well to your chairman! Kudos to your Mum for mastering Nigerian cooking. Thank you!
Hi aunty Flo, congratulations on your growing channel. I must say I am very pleased seeing your channel grow. I started watching you in October of 2011 when I moved away from family to London to attend college.I was 18 then and I really wanted to cook and eat GOOD food. I was craving Nigerian fried rice that weekend and decided to search on RUclips for recipes and that's how I found you. I wrote the recipe down and quickly ran to Sainsbury's. I really hated how fried rice at home turned out and then I actually saw you frying the rice, my life changed! I followed the recipe to a T and wow, I haven't cooked it any other way since. Over the years I've learnt so much from you, infact I cooked your jollof rice and my mum said 'I know say I no teach you jollof rice like that, show me how you do it'. Your jollof rice recipe is now a staple in our house. My mom now watches your channel and calls you my "RUclips mom" lol. I want to thank you for being you, your bubbly personality and all the tips and tricks you show us. God bless you. Maybe one day I can meet you and really tell you how you changed my life. I am now 24 and I still watch every single video you upload. God bless the day started recording videos and God bless you for all the recipes you have taught me, I am a better cook today because of you.
Awww DeeJuwa! My RUclips Daughter! lol @ I know say I no teach you that one! I love how you and your Mum are so open minded about these things. Even though you already knew how to prepare these, you still went ahead to try new recipes. I have received a lot of backlash about my method of preparing Fried Rice with lots of people even telling me that I am stupid for frying in batches. But most people who take the time to fry it in batches testify that there's a huge difference between the uppercase letter B and a cow's hoof print. 😂
It was this same Fried Rice that my roommates where shocked about. When I was borrowing all their stoves and pots they were like "What exactly are you cooking that you need all the stoves and pots in this hostel?" 😂 I told them that they should cool down, watch and see, because seeing is believing! My room mates used to respect me a lot as per Engineering Babe but developed a whole new type of respect for me after that day. LOL They had never seen me cook, I did not even have half a cooking utensil in Uni and the first time I would cook, I had to cook the almighty Fried Rice in a large quantity oo. Thinking about it now, I can understand their shock.
Yes o God bless that day because that year my daughter was about 6 months old and she would start crying each time I wanted to make a video with most of my early videos recorded in batches over several weeks. I did not know anything about making videos including editing etc there were so many hindrances but when I looked at my inbox with a mountain of emails of questions from my website, I just had to do it.
Chai! I missed o... Thanks for your generosity. I hope there'll be a next time.😂 The fist video I watched was how to prepare fried rice. I was searching for a better a way to make it. And I loved the way you explained it even on your website. After reading the article on fried rice and watching the video I went straight Nigeria jollof rice and then Nigerian stew, I just go addicted I glued myself to reading and watching. Soon after I couldn't resist it I subscribed, searched for you and Facebook and followed you. Down till this day I always enjoy your videos. My cooking skills are now close to perfection. And then your trips to Nigeria and the market oh! I love those videos. I feel like am in Nigeria when I watch them. I can't thank you enough. You're simply the best!😍😘
Auntie miii, may you always be motivated and thrilled to post videos! I will never forget the first time I went to a Nigerian party/wedding... my palette was OVERDOSING OF BEAUTIFUL TASTE!!! And it brought me to find your videos on how to make jollof rice and moi moi.. I've been learning from you ever since. And congratulations to the 100 k n new kitchen!
L.S.K thank you! We have the host of that party to thank. 😉😍
I was desperate to make grilled fish at home as I was tired of paying £15 for a medium sized grilled fish in an African restaurant and your Chanel came though. It was easy to follow, your fried rice also helped brush up my cooking skills for that delicacy. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you Wemimo. Glad you found those videos helpful. :)
I must say my hubby has been very happy with tasting the food I make from your recipes 💕 thank you
You are welcome! Lucky hubby. :)
Vitamix - that's the last blender you'd ever buy! Seriously, you watch their videos and you'll be sold. I used to have a cuisinart blender, but the minute I bought my Vitamix, I gave it away. Vitamix will crush ice to snow, would make smoothies that are as smooth as silk, will turn nuts to nut butters, you name it, it does it. And the customer service behind vitamix means you'll never want for another blender.
Once you're done with a blender, get a food processor. My top choice is Breville Sous Chef.
You must try a NINJA processor, any size. If you can find a Ninja Express Chop, it's a small item that chops, minces and purees in seconds, yes seconds. TIP: use a tap, tap motion until you get the texture you want, holding the control will result in a smoothie, and don't be afraid to fill it with whatever you want to process. For a product that cost less than $20, you'll use it more than the larger processors. try on line to find one, and pay less when you order one that comes in a dented box, the appliance will not be damaged. NO, i don't work for the company I just swear by their products, the Ninja Express Chop is wicked, jet fast.
That Vitamix ... Lots of people recommended it on my Frying Tomato Stew video. I read the reviews and fell in love with it and Blendtec but na money oo. Maybe when I retire, I will buy it for myself as a retirement gift because that's when I will have time to use it to the fullest.
Come on - that's the wrong mentality - LOL. By the time you retire, you'll have fewer years to enjoy your Vitamix. I actually purchased mine from Costco at a great deal, so you should definitely check them out. One thing I love about Vitamix is it saves you money on buying other things. From fresh tomatoes, you can make tomatoes for your stew, pasta/pizza sauce, even your own tomato sauce. Sometimes, the Vitamix is way too powerful - you seriously need that pulse button. I love your Moi Moi recipe, but the Vitamix is too powerful to peel the beans using the blender method. Maybe i'll try again sometime. For now, I just peel a lot and freeze them and then blend to smooth perfection. Flo, you need a Vitamix in your life. :)
hehehe My retirement is soon o! Not too long now. ;) lol @ you need a vitamix in your life.
Hi Flo congratulations on your RUclips achievement , I am so happy for you because you’re hard work has been rewarded. I started watching your videos years back, when you used to make your videos without showing your face , only written comments , the ingredients and the what you’re cooking 🥘. What really made me to fall in love with your videos is the way you cook, the moment I watched couple of your videos I knew you’re a good cook, because as a good cook myself😃 I knew one when I come across it. But the video I was after the day I saw yours was how to make cake, Nigerian meat pie and puff puff because I have no clue how to make them, and the things I like most about, your videos are always on point. And as years goes by I have learnt a lot from your videos. Like the smokey liquid for the smokey jollof rice I never known about it, until you made the video and I will not forget the videos for kids food, I watched the one where your son when he was some months old was eating okro soup and semo. It really motivated me towards my children. The spaghetti surprise, in fact Flo I can go on and on your simply the best. I learnt how to make the best puff puff and meat pie from you thank you so much.
Awww! We do go way back. I am glad those videos helped you make those snacks successfully. That was my daughter eating Semo with Ogbono Soup. She was 19 months old there and I just cut her hair then so she looked like a boy there. LOL
And tell you what? Then she used to swallow semo but these days, she is now 7 years old but she chews semo. I often show her the video telling her that she used to swallow semo, why downgrade to chewing now that she is older? 😂 😂
Thank you my name sake! And good cook ibe m, that's what they say o because I still believe that cooking is not even one of my strongest points. LOL :)
Congratulations. Glad to be part of it

Thank you.
Hey!!! I started following u since 2013..I learnt how to make isiewu with bicarbonate soda oh..I live in Brazil...trace that video oh u will see in an old timer
I started watching your videos long before I actually subscribed 🙃.. but whenever I did subscribe, it must have been because of the Egusi soup(caking method).. I was a grad student at the time, with many Yoruba friends who taught me the frying method. But it was never ever ever as good as the one my mommy used to make. As an Igbo girl I had to learn to make correct egusi soup before I become a disgrace to my family in marriage one day 🤣. Aunty Flo I have watched that one video sooooo many times! Lol and many many others! Even if I don't win, I think it's awesome that you are putting one foot back in our fatherland. The pride you have in our people, our products, our country is admirable! Now I'm married with 2 kids, and my in laws are pleased! Thank you for all your efforts to teaching us how to cook! May God continue to bless you and your family!
Disgrace ko, prodigal daughter ni. LOL
Oh, you have watched that video so many times! One of my earliest videos with no hard text (only annotations that are not even visible on mobiles) and annoying music. Chai ooo! What torture you must go through every time you watch it. I think I need to make an updated video of my special caking method!
That video is one of the videos that I am proud of (in spite of the non-existent editing and poor video quality 😂) because when I released it, come and see prayers and thanks. Some people were telling me that prior to watching the video they used eggs to achieve lumpy egusi, some people told me that without osu (which is not available outside Nigeria), they could not get it to cake. And to think that was the only way that we prepared egusi soup in my home growing up, I thought the method was well known. To see people surprised that that method existed was an eye opener. It has encouraged me to share anything I know even if I think that that information is public knowledge, you never know what someone out there will find helpful.
More recently I showed in one of my videos how cassava has a natural peel hence very easy to peel off like unripe plantain and someone told me that she has peeled cassava for years but she never knew that information, thanking me for sharing. This is something I would normally not mention in a video thinking that it is general knowledge but a small voice told me to talk about it in the video and viola!
You are welcome and thank you for your kind words, for taking me back in time to my early videos. :D
God bless you too. :)
All Nigerian Recipes Omg Aunty Flo responded to me! Thank you! Yes I was watching way back then, and spreading the word about your channel! I didn't mind the music, it was your signature lol. If you end up in my home town Onitsha for any of your kitchen fitting quests, pls share! 💜
lol @ my signature! All Nigerian Recipes Ringtone! hihihi
mmh Onitsha! Onitsha is my zone nowww. My cousins used to live off Ugwunagbankpa Road (in Umuase) and I often stayed in their house. I have lots of family that live in Onitsha so a bu m amala in Onitsha. Our house is in Lagos so it's unlikely that I will go to Onitsha to hunt for utensils. But if I ever visit Onitsha, I will vlog there if ndi Onitsha and ndi Omata will not finish me with mouth while carrying camera upandan. 😂😂😂 You know Onitsha people, both indigenes and residents do not spare.
Yes ooooo.... Bellow hall....Bello Queens.... I really love your videos.... It's inspiring
Anti Flo a big congrats to you ooo for the RUclips something!😂 can't wait to get there ooo... Your first video I came across on RUclips was "fry your best tomato stew ever!" I loved and subbed since then. God bless you for always sharing your wisdom. You are one of the people that inspires me so much remember I said it in my 5 RUclips question tag and you've not done the video oooo😉😉😉
I watch almost all your videos, tho i don't comment on all of them😉
You will get there indeed! With the kind of work you put into your channel, the only way you can go is up! Keep it up.
I'm glad you loved the tomato stew video. That's one of my favourite videos to make because there was a long list of questions to answer in that video. :)
Hahaha Fantastic Ina-naa! I know you will never let me off the hook on that tag. Don't worry, my 2018 resolution is to start responding to my tags. 💃💃💃
Thanks for your support and God bless you too. :)
All Nigerian Recipes 😂😂😂 abeg do that tag ooo... Thank you so much 😍😘
You are really doing a great job Aunty Flo, I enjoy watching your channel. I'm one of your subscribers, I subscribed to your channel when I watched how to prepare suya spices that was 17th April 2013. And i really loved it. Please keep up the good work Ma.
VIVIAN DURU thank you! That video is one of the videos I've received the most positive feedback on. And I enjoy making such videos.
So you are my go-to for african food especially igbo food on youtube....Your okpa video has made me a guru at making okpa ...and most recently I have been really enjoying your Nigerian vlogs especially when you drove through unizik junction and other towns, chai!..it brought back memories..also the vlog of your grandma making abacha is epic...the vlog on your job (offshore) was enlightening & educating...lest I forget your voice is unique...Keep up the good work.
Favour you are truly a vlog person! I am glad that those vlogs brought back nice memories. Thank you for watching. :)
All Nigerian Recipes ....yaayyy!..Thanks so much for your reply....I'm truly a vlog person..lol...Congratulations again.
Thank you for this video. I just bought a mortar and looking for how to get the smell off it.
Thank you for the washing the mortar. I didn't know it had that dye.
Dear Aunty Flo, I love you kitchen setup, the space and everything in it. But am just wondering if you have relocation finally to Nigeria? Just missing the feeling that you are not living close to me again.
Congratulations on your win👍👍👍👍 thanks for your cooking skills . I watched your videos before cooking most of my meals such as Ukwa, onugbu and oha soup. I will not forget your jollof rice and tomatoe stew.
You are very traditional Mary. Those first three are my favourites too. Thank you.
In 2012 in Uni my friends and I made pancake and it was a flop.... So I goggled how to make Nigerian pancake and your website popped up and I printed out the recipe and made the pancake. Since then I know my dictionary of nigerian recipe for soup especially. Thanks for being our online mum.
ibeejane aww my daughter. ❤
Wow! I'm a new subscriber to your Channel. I've watched a couple of your videos in the past and like them; although I am not Nigerian or have ever tasted Nigerian food. I am a Black American and I enjoy trying new foods. I said wow at the beginning of my comment because I happened on to an old video of yours where you show what you do or did at that time for a living. I was curious of what you did for a living because you mentioned in this video that your job had given you power tools . I wonder to myself what field was she in that they would give her power tools . And funny thing is I was not searching to find out what was your career, I just happened on to your video that said what you do for a living . I am AMAZED! Looking at you and your stature I would not think oil exploration .WOW! It looks like such an amazing job. Are you still in oil exploration? I would have never guessed that that's what you did as a career. Before today I've only seen your cooking videos. I am a woman tractor trailer driver; and most people are shocked when I tell them that. because I am 5 feet 1 inch in height. It's so amazing to see a woman(A BLACK WOMAN)
in a field like that. Not to bring race into it. It's just amazing to see a black woman in a field like that. I would have loved an experience like that. It's probably too late for me now though. I am a 42 year old mother of two young children and I'm planning for retirement. Anyway thank you for sharing Nigerian dishes and also for sharing parts of your life with us. I wish you and your family all the best with this new chapter of your life. God bless!
well well well,for me I was whiling away my time with my phone trying to know more abt the internet sometime last two years and I stumble on allnigerian recipe so curious to know what it is all about,I felt in love with it and tried cooking moimoi which came out so so so delicious, my friends keep asking me how I cooked it had to refer them to all Nigerian recipe, thanks,Dalu Chinyere for allnigerian recipes God bless you for blessing many homes
Bless you too Christy! Much love for spreading the word. :)
Hi Flo, once again thanks for sharing your kitchen and cooking skills with us. You have inspired and improved my cooking skills more than you know. Congrats on your surpassing 100k subscribers. So I have been watching your channel for over 2 years now and have since been a more active fan. Anyways keep up with the good work and yes as your name implies (Chinyere) God has given you this great talent and platform among others. Greetings to your family and I can't wait for you to churn out more videos and grow your subscribers off course with our help. I like your taste in appliance and cooking utensils. God bless you!
And to be honest Chibuike I feel like you've been active for over 5 years! Thank you so much for you support and encouragement! You are the best! Yes o. I have a simple taste, anything that is too complicated both in design, usage and cleaning will have me running far away from it. 😂😂😂
You are welcome Flo.
Congrats dear God is with you
Learnt something. Daalu soo on that soaking the mortar...never knew that.
Thanks for sharing this ma'am. I am really shocked at what came out of the morter and pistol, we really need to be careful what we eat. By the way, congrats to you and more grease to your elbows!
The love for traditional foods made me subcribe I'm Zimbabwean and like to try food from the continent l have learned a lot In many ways our food from the south is different but is the same if it makes sense . Keep sharing and congratulations on your RUclips over 100k
O yes, they are different in ingredients but mostly similar preparation. Thank you Rai. :)
All ur videos really interest me because I like cooking good food and learning new recipes, ur personality ure my role model yassss and u make me feel at home.
Thank you my Valentine. 😉
All Nigerian Recipes u re Welcome ma looking forward to seeing more videos thanks
Congratulations on your new kitchen - it looks great. Can't wait to see it completed. Congrats on your RUclips achievement. I've learnt so much from you over the years that my meat pie is so much better than the meat pies I used to buy - and it's not just me saying it - everyone who's tried it says the same.
I don't want the $50, I want the signed cookbook. I've posted a few times since discovering you in 2011(oops :) ) and my family has been so amazed by what I've cooked and even are shocked to know I learnt to cook online. For now, I'll settle for your cookbook eBook format.
Badjujuwan I remember you from way back, in my early days on RUclips. I created my channel in 2011 so it's probably in 2012? You were very active and I remember your username. You are one of the few people that have never changed their usernames. LOL
Thanks for watching and sticking with me all these years.
But chai ooo. Are you sure that the signed copy will work? I ask because there are a few huddles with sending it across the pond.
Beautiful Aunty Flo... I enjoy watching your videos and it has made me a better cook. The way you explain things makes it so easy for me to understand. I aspire to be like you. Keep up the good work... Idi too much!!!
Thanks you Chinwe nwanne mmadu. Bless you! :)
Aunty flo... You are the best
Ur such an intelligent lady. Congrats
Flo nwannem congratulations on the well deserved RUclips plaque! Your channel should have more than just 100k subscribers because your content is top-notch 🖒I can't remember exactly when I subscribed, yes it's been that long! 😀 Your recipes have influenced my cooking in so many ways but the recipes that stands out for me were the full option abacha recipe, how to preserve fresh naija produce (for those of us in ala bekee) and the tiger nut milk recipe too (hmmm that tiger nut milk eh! story for another day, lol) Your originality is what drew me to your channel, I also enjoy your cheeky banter 😀 I will stop here as I don't intend to make this epistle of mine too lengthy! Ji si ike nwannem 💜
Ajo Nwa! 😂 That Tiger Nut Milk are for ajo nwas like us, keep enjoying!
Please come back here and complete this epistle. If you need extra sheet tell me o. lol
Thank you so much. I can only be me else I would have stopped uploading videos a long time ago. :)
The things I say in my videos are exactly how my Mum would say them to me in those days. Those words entered my brain and grew tap root there. So another reason I make Nigerian cooking videos is to get my Mum's voice out of my head. hehehe
Yipppppyyyyy 👏 👍 congrats Flo. I am Nigerian but live in Canada. I have watched your channel for years now. I have learnt a lot here and there form you like the smoked the fish idea, Suya spice, puff puff and oat meal powder in a soup oh my oh my😀 you are the best 👌❤ I love your videos awesome.
But the question are you moving to Nigeria permanently?
The smoked fish and suya spice recipes have brought me so much good will! The kind of prayers I get because of those two videos? This is because the only option outside Nigeria is that salty smoked mackerel that melts once you touch it and the suya spice isthe besk kept secret amongst Mai Suyas. Such are the blessings of the opportunity to share on this platform. I am glad you found the videos helpful.
No, I am not moving to Nigeria yet. Until there's 24 hours electricity. Lack of 24/7 light is one thing I can't deal with when I'm in Nigeria.
This video made me subscribed an interesting story on how ur friends doubted ur ability to cook😊
I know the give away is over but I wanted you to know. Because you your recipes, I keep a Nigerian make fed. I’m from a small town of Texas and clueless of Nigerian meals. Let me tell you I followed your online recipes and was clueless to your RUclips. Ohhhhhhh honey glad I found you here.
Oppssss *man
I'm glad you find the videos helpful. Keep doing a great job with these recipes. :)
Congratulations! do u have a bigger ikwe? My favourite food since i was a kid is rice and ofe akwu. When i return home from boarding school, my mum would always cook it for me, i go chop sotay, i go begin cry. Like who does that? Chop and quench. LOL. Your kitchen really looks great.
Greetings aty flo,was trying to make meatpie for the first time but couldn't and went on line (youtube)searched for nigerian meatpie and yours some came fort,watched about four videos but yours was so easy and simple (that's was about 7 or 8 years ago).Then saw your doughnut recipe and immediately I followed and now I'm so perfect in doughnut all thanks to u (and mind u I have never made doughnut before but with the help of your video my first attempt came out perfectly well)
Then fried rice (cos I used to fry all my fried rice at once then cook like jollof rice)till I watched yours and u even said it in your video that one can only achieve a perfect fried rice in badges.
Then substuite for akanwa (potash)was trying to make abacha and I had no potash at home went to channel typed it and luckily u just uploaded a video about it(using sodium bicarbonate)u saved me that day honestly or is it your "bread roll" tried it for the first time and it came out perfect.The least is endless....Had to add myself in "Rate my Nigerian food".I even wrote u then telling u how I needed your cook book but was not able to get it then.Your doughnut video stands out for me cos I never tried it before unlike the meatpie but followed your video step after step and even had to pause and play back to avoid mistakes and it sure came out so PERFECT.Thanks from italy.
Aww Ifeoma! That was great to read. So many videos that you find helpful. :) I am glad to help indeed.
Yes, one good thing about snacks is that they have exact measurements so once one follows the recipe step by step, the person will get the best results. Problem starts when we try to alter and make substitutions to a recipe without first of all trying it exactly as shown by the creator. The best way is to follow the recipe like Mumu lol the first time before making any changes. And all my snacks recipes I make them several times before I record a video and upload so the videos are usually the best I could make them.
Well done for doing a great job with the recipes. :) Oh, you are my neighbour? See Italy, see Spain. :)
All Nigerian Recipes yes oo,we are neighbours😅😅
Hi namesake...lol
Funny though I've been following you for years for various recipes, you're simply the most detailed in showing recipes BUT I only just subscribed (I don't know why...lol).
You know what intrigued me the most about you, when I watched the video of you working offshore. I couldn't just reconcile how could manage that, your family and have time for a thriving youtube channel...well done. You inspire me
Congrats on 100k once again
Chinyere M sake m ooo! Thank you so much! Yes, that video shocked lots of people who do not know me. On the other hand, this my cooking channel is a greater shock for those who know me because the offshore job is more ME. Shock vs Shock! 🤣
As for not subscribing, it happens to me too. I usually watch videos on RUclipsTV and when I discover new channels I may watch their videos for so long without subscribing because it is not convenient to subscribe on TV. But trust RUclips, once you bingewatch a particular channel's videos it will start recommending that channel's videos to you anyway, so much that you feel like you've already subscribed.
Chaii Aunty Chy this give away no reach me oo! how on earth did i not have subscription to watch earlier and pack my cookery stories on Nigerian Recipes? Aunty Chy you are doing well, Congrats to the winners ee no easy.
Yeslzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz: Am glad the kitchen is gradually taking shape and coming true so that i can come and tasting tasting all our fooods. Got to know about ur channel from the moment i decided to upgrade my cooking skills especially with regards to Nigerian meals and snacks but what beats me anytime i am searching for how to cook up any recipe that i aint familiar with is your channel comes up most.little wonder i have stuck with ur methods cos of ur attention to detail and simplified ease of explanation.
Thank you and God's blessing upon you and ur family.love ya mama
Thank you! Abimbola. RUclips is too smart, it has seen the kind of videos that you love that's why it always delivers when you search 😉. But wait o ... who is cooking and who is tasting? 😂😂So you think it is only your girl that will be enjoying all your cooking? I am standing in the queue o to taste your different orisirisi because those delicious meals for which your girl tanda for there, I want to taste them too. So get ready.
Much love to you too. :)
I love u so much,u speaks fluent English even though u 've lived in Spain 4 many yrs,nnee well done😘
My name sake thank you! I was born and bred in Nigeria so I spoke English first before Spanish and you know once you can speak a language especially one you learnt from childhood, it will never depart from you. :)
+All Nigerian Recipes .yes dats right my dear
Oh wow! I screamed when you said Bello UNN. I grew up in UNN and went to school there. (Chemistry). My sisters were in Bello and Mary Slessor hall too. I’ll chat you on Facebook. No wonder I felt like there was a connection. Maybe I used to see you then. Congratulations great Lioness.
Hahaha! It depends on when your sister was in Bello. I graduated 1999 Electronic Engineering and I was in Bello Hall all through my stay in UNN. If you visited your sister often in the 90s, you may have seen me.
Thank you! :)
All Nigerian Recipes ok. My sister graduated in 2002. I must have seen you on a few occasions when I visited her. Good to know.
This is late (but it doesn’t matter lol) Congratulations Aunty Flo, thank you so much for being an amazing cook, especially the way you explain everything as to why you use the methods you do. The first video that made me subscribe?, that’s hard because there were many recipes and even when I was already subscribed, I’d unconsciously subscribe again. Also there are tips that you share that no other Nigerian food vlogger shares especially tips for pregnant women, like the alternative to potash. I appreciate everything you have been doing and may God continue blessing your hands, which are the symbols of your labour In Jesus name, Amen. Oh yes I have one question too lol. I cook for a friend who is pregnant and she’s craving pepper soup, I’ve been told there are certain spices, which are not good. Which spices are those? or should I not cook it for her at all?. Thank you Aunty Flo 😁
Actually, sis flo I followed u 2015then ur video don't really show ur face,but I followed because u always explain very well and u always tell us the quantity of ingredients u used ,one more I found out u are my Igbo sister
Yes Viola, I only recently started showing my face as I could not keep running away from it. Some people were ready to come to my house and drag me out. LOL
I use Ajax it works well too also my first mortar and pestle was made of wood lol and it cracked I have a steel one now and I really love it and sunlight dish washing liquid as we call it here in USA and congrats on your plaque
Thank you khanbibi. Steel mortar, wow! I had to go Google it, it looks cute, something I would love to have in my kitchen for keepsake.
Please what is Ajax? I could not find anything related to cooking when I googled that.
@@FloChinyereHello, Ajax is soap but it is toxic.
Congrats Flo on your "conventional employee award" I've being following you since nineteen kpengbe. Can't really remember the video that got me hooked but you introduced me to using oats to thickened soups and how to use blender for cocoyam too. That has been a life saver. I don't have a mortal, never wanted to. But as an unapologetic follow follow of #allnigerianfoods I shall visit surualaba soon.
Ifunanya De Beloved no be small coventional employee award. Thank you! I'm glad you got some helpful tips here. I also saw the ikwe at Oyingbo market recently so if that one is closer to you, you can check there. 😘
Honestly, I've been following you for so long, I can't remember what video made me subscribe. I do remember making your Ofe Nsala. I'd never tried it before cuz I left Nigeria as a child. It was sooo goood I kept eating and eating till I almost consciousness. lol.
Hehehe Eating to stupor! I don't blame you, Ofe Nsala does that someone. it's so easy on the palate. :)
Hello Aunt Flo, congratulations on everything u have achieved so far, I'm happy for u sis. Actually, I have been watching and learning a lot from ur RUclips videos without being a subscriber. But wat made me to finally subscribe was d day u uploaded a video that u were gonna go live once u get to 100 subscribers, then u had 99 subscribers. Even b4 I finished watching ur video that day, I had already clicked d subscribe button, I just said in my mind "well then, y not complete d 100 subscriber, she's looking for ". I also watched d live video as well, where everyone was asking one or another. And since that day onwards, I don't miss any of ur videos each time u upload.
It's been really wonderful and inspiring watching ur videos. Especially wen u travelled for ur sis's wedding. 😃😃
Solomon Uzoamaka aww, such a heartwarming comment. :) Thank you!
All Nigerian Recipes . Uwc Aunt.
Hi Flo,I connect to you thur food channel be on how you where showing every stuff you brought back from nigeria. I fell in love quick with you tube channel . Some time last year. You brought melon wash bitter leaf , ogbobo; indomie, abcha ; pick milk ,and so many stuff from Nigeria .You were even telling us that you can send us small quantities of any stuff we want I was very impressed with you job channel and how you reply to question so quick.that is what make me to subscribe to channel. Thanks
Awww ... thank you! Once I am online when a question comes in, I reply immediately because if I leave it, I may never get to it. :)
I not have story to tell only your eguse soup I like so love and The way you go to market I love it you village house I love you ma
Congrats on your latest achievements. More Grace. I subscribed to your channel 6yrs ago and the first video I watched was the fried rice recipe when I only hear you talking in the video. Hope to win for my daughter. She is 3yrs old.
LOl @ Ese! I didn't even talk in that video. My first fried rice video was just video and annoying music. All of you who watched my old videos in those days and still watch them till today are the best! Then, I did not know anything about editing but I was determined to upload those videos any which way because I was getting lots of questions on those recipes on my website. Thank you! :) Greetings to your daughter.
Hello My sister. I found your channel way back when. I was really intrigued about Nigeria's culture after watching some Nollywood movies. I started searching about your fashion(Which I love), Your peoples, and your foods. I found your hands! Lol I have been a follower ever since. I think at one time I asked you to be my Third Mother!lol I would love a copy of you cookbook. Love from America!
Oh My God! You found my hands! That's how I know who has been watching from way back. Madam Cooking Hands they nicknamed me at some point. lol
Much love to you too.
About the cookbook, I think we will do a special cookbook party/giveaway at some point because lots of people are more interested in that than the price money. :) It's time I did routine giveaways anyway.
Thank you for sticking with me all these years.
Awww your kitchen is coming along nicely! You know after watching your video on the best cookware for cooking African foods I went and found PROPER cookware immediately! 🤗 Congratulations on your RUclips achievement 🎉🎉🎉🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬. I've loved your channel from the first video I watched which was How To Fry Your Best Stew🤗💚. I really appreciate you, I'm born and raised here in The States(Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be exact😎lol)and I just have a passion to learn all things African lol and since my friend was from Nigeria I feel in love with that place! Watching your videos has really brought me closer, of course I love, love, LOVE all of your cooking videos but the ones where you are out in the markets have become my favorites as well! Keep them coming Dear Sister! I need to email you photos of all of the recipes I attempt to make so you can tell me if I'm cooking like a PROFER West African Woman!🤣🤣😎 Many Blessings to You and Your Family!
Stephanie aww! I'm glad that cookware video spoke to you. Sometimes all we need to do is change the cookware and everything will be alright. Thanks Stephanie. It is really taking shape.
I love them sunlight key holders oooooo can it be sent to me in place of the $50?😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chai! Ifugo keyholder hapuzia ego! :D :D
I don't blame you, it is so cute but my sister ekwero ka the second one daluo ani after I made this video, she grabbed it. hahaha
All Nigerian Recipes oh no....!!!! Ok oooooo no P.
Hey Anty Chinyere! I just subscribed to your channel. The picture of the "ikwes" first attracted me to watch this video and then your igbotic accent killed and finished me 😂😂😂"ololololooo". I hope to learn more from you. May God continue to bless all your efforts. Chinny watching from Portland Oregon USA.
Olololo! Internet citizens, you never know what they will love! 😂 While this my sexy Igbotic accent is chasing away some people, some people are attracted to it. You are highly welcome Chinny nwanne m. :) Settle in and enjoy the show. What would you like? I have Isi Ewu, Nkwobi and co. 😉 Thank you and God bless you. :)
Isi ewu biko ooo n' otego😜😜
Hi Flo. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. I'm glad to be one of your many subscribers. I'm a foodie @ heart. I love good food and I love to cook. I subscribed to your channel sometime in 2015. I believe my first video was "How to prepare Ogbono soup". I think I have downloaded more than half your RUclips videos because I just love all of them. I have them all on my phone and watch them again and again. You make cooking look so easy and attractive. However, my favourite video is "How to make Okpa". I loveeee Okpa. Thanks for teaching me how to make it and sharing your knowledge with the world. Your friendly banter and simplistic style of cooking is just amazing. Keep it up and I'am sure we'll get to 1M subscribers soon. 💃Are you now in Lagos??? I live in Lagos and hope to meet you someday. Bye Byyyeee... See you soooooon... 😂😂😂
Chai Okpa Wawa and chilled Coke, the best food that ever was!
That 1M subscribers, it looks like climbing Mt. Everest! Make sure you bring your friends and family. 😘 😘
Thank you so much. :)
I sure will 😆 Thanks Flo.
