Cook Efo egusi with 7 ‘lives’ – the yomilawal way

I went on hunger strike at the age of 12, my reason for the hunger strike? Hehehe, I insisted on calling my older sisters by their first names against the cultural norms of prefixing it with “anti” (a sign of respect in yoruba culture).
My father, after telling me several times to stop disrespecting them; on a saturday knowing there would be no school and no opportunity for me to eat elsewhere gave the instructions that nobody should serve me any food till I attached the prefix “anti” to their name and thus commenced my first hunger strike as I was determined to never ever ‘call these ones anti’? 

The wait was like a lifetime and the pangs of hunger was like a stab wound, about 8hours into the strike when I couldnt hold out again, I went to my immediate older sister and mumbled “….sister lara ‘wa’ FUN MI LON JE O”, my sister wanting to rub it in replied “mi o gbo” and I had to repeat it clearly. 
Well beans and plantain never tasted that good before as I devoured my hard won meal hehehe!

Over the years vowing within me never to be at my sisters mercy over food and also being a finicky eater, I have perfected some art of cooking.

Today I will be making Efo elegusi with 7 different diced delicacies (7 lives) in it.

I will also show you the cheat sheet for making ‘kokoless’ eba under 5mins with a microwave oven.

Liberate yourselves gentlemen and ladies kindly discourage the guys by following,  tell me whatever I do wrong.
if you want a taste after I’m done cooking, do ask.

I’ll be right back!
