LMAO, I remember when I was a teen. My mum would go to her shop and before her closing time she’d call me via our landlady’s landline phone and tell me to prepare dinner. It was always Eba most of the time as per soup don already dey down .

Thread!!

She’d be like “Wale! te Eba fun awa mefa. Ma je ko ni koko oo” Yes we’re just 6. Me, my 3 younger ones, then my parents .

That shit can be so annoying ehn, but being the first born is annoying anyways, so I accepted my fate .

So there was this particular day she called. I can’t really remember what happened that day. Probably something happened in school (sec school) before I got home. But I sha know I wasn’t in the mood that day .

So, Iya Wale said I should make Eba oo. Omo! I grumbled

and that woman ear sharp die. She can see stuff with both her eyes and ears. So, she was like “Ti won ba bi iya baba eh da, maa te eba yen ki’n to de ile”.

That is, if dem born my Daddy’s mother well, that I shouldn’t make the Eba before she gets home .

Small grumble that I grumbled and this woman is already dragging my grandmother, can you imagine

.

My grandmother wey dey OYO dey enjoy her life jeje oo, sigh

Women will insult you

See ehn, I was a hard guy, I was stubborn and my mum knows this. But because dem born my Daddy’s mother well, I had to obey her

I was sha making the Eba oo. Ladies and Gentlemen, that was how my grumbling and stubbornness landed me in trouble oo

Naso water pass Garri oo. I now added more Garri, everything now balanciaga. So i was now sharing everything inside nylon as per that’s how we use to do it, plus we put them inside cooler so that e go still dey hot till whenever we’re ready to eat .

So while I was sharing inside nylon, I noticed I’ve shared more than the usual 6/7 wraps .

Guy!! I’ve shared like 17 wraps and still counting. In fact, if dem redo my naming ceremony, that Eba would feed everybody wey attend the naming and e go still remain

I wasn’t really bothered tho. I was like “We kuku like Eba in this house. That means this Eba would last us for 1 week niyen” . The mumu me already forgot the kind of mother that I have .

Naso night reach oo. *knock knock* “Eku ile oo” .

and I was like welcome back mummy, what did you buy come. First of all, she went straight to the cooler, opened it and saw plenty Eba. Shet! She gave me one backhand slap my lips tear. I ran out of the room to our neighbor in the next house, cos I’d be a dead meat if I no japa .

That’s how I dragged this woman to come and help me beg my mum, if not me I will not sleep that house oo.

The woman sha begged on my behalf and my mum was like Okay no problem. Out of respect for the woman, my mum sha pardoned me.

We sha ate that night .

Fast forward to the following morning, my mum made one mad rice and fish stew, with dodo

She served my siblings, excluding me. I was like “I thought she has forgiven me na”

That’s how I heard “Tifun loran wa gbe ounje oo”. Meaning “FFO come and carry your food oo” .

Leemao! Me wey be say I no kuku get shame. I walked like a king straight to the kitchen fam.

Guess what this woman served me?? EBA!!!

Eba laaro kutukutu.. Iya Wale fear God na

She was like “This eba will be your Breakfast, lunch & dinner”. I thought she was whining me oo, but deep down I knew she wasn’t.

Naso my mama start to dey cook better food oo

If dem dey chop Yam & egg sauce, me I go dey chop Eba.

If dem chop Jollof rice, I go chop Eba

I had Eba day and night for complete 12 days, with hard labour fam.

Sometimes I go even dey chew am raw without soup, so that e go quick finish

Probably one of the reasons why I still love Eba

This experience always play in my head anytime I’m making Eba and that is why I am sharing this now.

Thanks
