BOLE AND FISH, Port - Harcourt Roadside Pleasure

 

This past weekend few of my friends were in town ( port - harcourt) for our friend's  father's funeral. I went to a hotel at stadium road to meet my friend Ada Babyluv. Ada ordered for drinks for my friend and I , I asked Ada if she's not having a drink and her response was she wants to eat bole and fish she insisted that she won't taste a thing until she has eaten port - harcourt bole and fish( she's not meant to know this part but she said it was another reason she came to port - harcourt) I can't say I blame her because truthfully no bole and fish in Nigeria can be compared to the ones made in port - harcourt. No offence to lagos people but I tried eating bole and peanuts  in lagos and it was horrible.
Bole and fish is a street food, it's basically roasted plantain ‎and fish dipped in peppery palm oil sauce. You can call it a roadside pleasure, there's no street in port -harcourt that you won't find bole and fish spot/joint, because of the love for this roadside pleasure, bole and fish are served in big occasions in port-harcourt today. Bole and fish joint has become a bonding place because you'll meet all classes of people there eating bole like their lives depends on it, lmao. 
You'll enjoy it more when it's freshly made. 
If you're in port-harcourt and you've not tasted this roadside pleasure you're missing out on something good, those visiting port-harcourt for the first time should stop over any bole and fish joint and enjoy our roadside delicacy.

  Few days ago I went to Everyday supermarket at GRA to get some stuffs, as we drove pass where they sell chicken, I saw a lady that used to live on my street, first of all I was surprised to see her because it's been ages, and then again I was staring at her face and was wondering what went wrong. This lady used to be one of the prettiest ladies on my street, smooth skin, fine legs and all. Every man wanted this lady at the time. There was a particular guy that did everything he could to get her but didn't and I'm in front of her and I'm thinking if that guy sees her now he won't even give her a second look. One thing I liked about her  then was her personality she was a very sweet and cheerful lady. I looked at this lady and was wondering why she's not beautiful anymore. A lot of questions went through my mind at the time. Was she sick? Is she married? If yes is she married to a monster or is she Divorced? Did she lose her job? Then It hit me regardless of

FACING MY FEAR

Image
Welcome to my blog, Wow!!!! It feels good saying "my blog"!  I know that I am nervous and excited at the same time, but nothing can be compared to the joy that I am feeling right now. Words cannot explain my feeling of accomplishment. I honestly can't believe that I am starting my own blog, it's like a dream, somebody should just pinch me. Lol!! Before I bore you guys with my excitement and the phrase "my blog" let me share the reason for this excitement.  Over the years  my friends have asked me  why I am not blogging  and the answer I always gave them was that I am not a good writer neither am I a grammarian. I always see myself as not having what it takes to be a blogger.  The more I thought about blogging, the more I loved the idea but what to write or how to put my thoughts in writing has always been my major fear so i've always shoved the idea of blogging aside.  My friends will always say to me  "Chika you're doing great on fa
