What genres of book are popular in Nigeria? What kinds of stories do you tell your kids? What is considered “literature”?
This is always so fascinating to see, thank you for sharing
Very interesting, thank you for explaining and sharing information about different foods.
Hey, I love these casual videos and honestly would like to see more videos of you eating! Love from Wales
Thanks Babatunde, it is always interesting seeing the differences between poor and rich foods in a culture. It's definitely a fascination of mine. I live in Canada but my family is Italian and we grew up eating more of the poor meals than the expensive meals.
Greetings from the northwestern United States as an Atomic Shrimp fan. Do keep up the good work, Babatunde, on your own RUclips channel here. By the way, when are you and Shrimp going to make another recipe -Nigerian made British style or British made Nigerian style- collaboration video or just a general collaboration video?
Thank you for your video, Babatunde. Sorry I'm late!
Very casual video. I like it
Great video Babatunde - sometimes mixing foods that don't sound good together come out out as a really good new dish.
Thank you Babatunde
@@CFCNOTBUMMER you are highly welcome
I love this type of videos! Great job babatunde, greetings from belgium
Thank you for sharing! ❤
Garri (ultra processed casava)actually chelates nutrients from the body and will cause severe malnutrition if eaten on its own in just a few weeks. Instant noodles are generally considered carcinogenic here because they contain large amount of ultra processed fried seed oils, that all are rancid after a few days 'on the shelf'
LOL. Say am not well off and I have hungry kids at home. I can buy a multipack ramen or a head of lettuce and a few tomatoes for about the same price. Which do I buy ?
Assuming the multi pack costs £2 i would say get a bag of cheap pasta a block of butter and a tube of tomato puree. Look up garri malnutrition.
A 'head' of lettuce is water and cellulose only (iceberg)
@@patricialavery8270 Ramen is never that cheap, it is a processed food there is always something cheaper like a bag of flour, assuming there is clean water I would buy flour and tomatoes
The research I've seen would indicate that gari in and of itself isn't unhealthy. But because of it's extremely low protein content (about a sixth the protein of white rice, which is itself the lowest protein way any cereal grain is commonly eaten), and lack of many micronutrients, eating gari as a staple without a source of sufficient protein in the diet can lead to severe malnutrition in the short term due to too little protein in the diet, both in absolute terms and relative to total calorie intake, and nutritional problems in the long term due to it not containing many essential vitamins and micronutrients. Instant noodles on the other hand definitely are an unhealthy food in and of themselves, though still better than nothing if you need the calories to survive.
@@patricialavery8270 Lettuce, particularly iceberg lettuce, should never be purchased in a situation where getting enough food is a concern. It has almost zero nutritional value. In the USA, using rice, flour for homemade bread, or a nixtamalized corn product plus dried beans or other legumes as your staple, with dairy or high nutrient density fruits and vegetables where you can afford them, is the way to go if your food budget is tight enough that going hungry is a concern and you have any means at all of cooking. Some combination of less-processed grain products and dried legumes is almost guaranteed to stretch your food budget further than instant ramen, and be much healthier as well. You can survive and even be fairly healthy more or less indefinitely on whole grains, legumes, and a source of vitamin C.
I'd assume that a base of cereal grains and legumes, supplemented with some combination of vegetables and/or fruits and/or dairy is the best way to eat cheap most places in Europe or the Americas, though I can only speak from experience on the USA there, and the choice of grains and legumes will vary a fair bit on local availability.
Hey Babatunde, love your content! :)
Came to you from Atomic Shrimp, and i like your collaborations
Hi brother ❤
Babatunde, is there a way to send money that takes zero cut of the money sent? Like a PayPal gift or something?
The thing with PayPal is that they charge $15 in chargeback fees when someone does a chargeback, per chargeback. So someone can send $1, chargeback, and put you $16 on the red. Kofi accepts Paypal, and if someone chargebacks they chargeback kofi, which *will* go to court over it so PayPal know better and quit the bullshit.
Sugar doesn't cause directly hemorrhoids. A low fiber diet can contribute to hemorrhoids, so if sugar is replacing vegetables and whole grains in your diet, it could be a factor. Apparently, putting sugar directly on a hemorrhoid can help treat it, so maybe that's where the association started
To be honest I believe the garri is way more nutritious than those noodles! If you had to choose between the two 😊
In the US the poorest people eat alot of carbs like potatoes ,rice and pasta. Mostly Macaroni and Cheese and Spaghetti. Mac N Cheese meals can be bought very cheap, requiring only a little butter and milk to make while Spaghetti is usually eaten with red tomato sauce occasionally with ground beef .Processed meat in a can like Spam is also very cheap. Middle Class low to high there is more good quality meats and dishes like pizza, fancy pasta and some salads and vegetable dishes. These are the people who might cook a Thanksgiving Dinner while poor people eat charity plates from churches and other organizations for the holiday. The rich classes eat whatever they want, often prepared by trained chefs either at a restaurant or their own employee. Ironically rich people are probably the ones eating low calorie meals with vegetables and whole grain alternative carbs or no carbs and a meat heavy Keto diet, because they are too fat from too much access to food. Poor and Middle Class enjoy the unhealthy stuff like fast food because they cannot afford stuff like organic certified meat and fresh fruit and fast food is designed to be relatively cheap, easy to get and addictively tasty. Often both parents are working ,sometimes multiple jobs, and preparing food at home is too tiring and time-consuming. You can be poor yet have a job in places where the cost of living is very high due to many well paying jobs for elites like government employees.
Very true. When I was a broke college student, I lived off mac n cheese and cheap pasta. Now I’m fortunate enough to afford fresh fruits and veggies and generally less processed foods.
I am so far behind. My apologies. My notifications are not coming through. I had one this morning and when I looked, it had gone. The one from Atomic Shrimp came too. His stayed. Yours had not. Trying to catch up missed content. I am very interested in your country and this is not making it easier. Shame on you, you tube. Sends me trash instead. Beyond belief.
@@nancycurtis7315 RUclips had been doing that a lot. The algorithm is getting crazier everyday.
@@africa_everyday Thank you. Nice to know that I'm not the only one. My heart felt best wishes for you and your lovely family.
@africa_everyday If your politicians had your heart, it would be a very different country. I wish that more like you were able to access some communication and reliable power.
