Abak Atama soup is a dish popular amongst the Ibibios in Akwa Ibom.

The palm fruit used for the Abak Atama Soup is extracted at very low temperatures and is a mixture of oil and water.

The name Abak Atama is derived from the two dominant ingredients palm fruit and atama leaves. The palm fruit extract used in cooking Abak Atama Soup is quite different from the red palm oil used in cooking Nigerian food recipes.

The palm fruit used for the Abak Atama Soup is extracted at very low temperatures and is a mixture of oil and water.

Ingredients
Beef

Smoked fish

Pomo (Cow skin)

Stockfish

Periwinkle in shell

Atama leaves

Palm fruit

Ground crayfish

Uyayak (local spice)

Step 2: Boil some water and add to the pounded palm fruit, then mix thoroughly to separate the oily extract from the rest of the pulp, then strain.

Step 3: Wash, cut up and season your meat with salt, seasoning and pepper, then steam for about 5 minutes on low heat. Then add about 1½ cups of water and the stockfish and continue boiling for about 20 minutes till the meat is almost cooked, and remove from heat.

Step 4: Cut the Atama leaves into tiny pieces. Pound them for about 10 minutes till the leaves are finely pounded. Then place the palm fruit extract on the burner and allow to boil for about 5 minutes to remove all moisture.

Step 5: Add cooked meat, smoked fish, meat stock, periwinkle, crayfish, pepper, seaoning and Uyayak. Stir and allow to boil for about 10 minutes.

Seun Kuti Says The Yoruba’s Can Break Away From Nigeria Through A Referendum

Posted: 30 May 2021 08:00 AM PDT

Seun, son of Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti, has suggested a way the Yoruba nation can actualize Oduduwa Republic.

He said the Southwest can break away from Nigeria through a referendum.

Seun who spoke during a live video on Instagram, insisted that Nigeria can be divided without killings and war.

He says : "England just left the EU recently; did they fight anyone before leaving? The Scottish are agitating to leave England. Why are they not saying they want to fight war before they can leave England? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying these people don't fight but understand the narrative.

"Referendums now put the decision in the hands of the people.

"If Nigeria truly wants to divide we must pose it in a referendum program, yes or no vote to all the people in this country so that we can make our argument for and against and the people would be carried along every step of the way because we will need them to make the final decision.

"If the Yoruba people want to leave Nigeria, it is not overnight. Anybody wey tell you say Yoruba people can leave Nigeria over a ten-year period, that person is trying to put you in another long jump. Our problem needs like fifty years of dedication to see front before everything balance."

"Even before we do constitutional conferences, democratically in any country, before you do a constitutional review, you must put it to the people, the people will now decide a yes or no vote for the review before you carry your review forward.

"But when only a handful of people want to make decisions for hundreds of millions of people, this is what you now get. Everybody is only discussing one angle, one way of separating Nigeria which will kill millions of us in the name of separating Nigeria."

Kanye West Seen In Public For First Time Since Dating Rumours Of Irina Shayk

Posted: 30 May 2021 06:00 AM PDT

Kanye West has been seen for the first time in months amid rumours he's dating model Irina Shayk.

The 43-year-old remained largely absent from the public since his divorce from Kim Kardashian was confirmed in February.

It would be recalled that The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star filed for divorce from the rapper back in February after almost seven years of marriage and four kids.

Speaking to The Sun, an insider claimed that makeup mogul Kim doesn't even believe the speculation.

The Touch the Sky hitmaker was spotted walking into a building last Friday, three days ahead of what would have been his and the Skims founder's seventh wedding anniversary.


The father-of-four opted for an all-black look, appearing largely incognito except for the notable security guard that he was flanked by.

Regarding the Yeezy designer's love life, a source dished the details to DeuxMoi: "Kanye West is now secretly dating Irina Shayk aka Bradley Cooper's baby mama."

The outlet later added: "After further looking into this, don't know if 'dating' is the right word, but there is perhaps some interest there."

A source told US gossip site DeuxMoi: "Kanye West is now secretly dating Irina Shayk aka Bradley Cooper's baby mama."


The DeuxMoi Instagram later added: "After further looking into this, I don't know if 'dating' is the right word, but there is perhaps some interest there."

Kanye and Irina have crossed paths before. The supermodel and the rapper first walked into each other's lives when she appeared in his music video for Power in 2010.

In recent weeks, Irina was spotted wearing a T-shirt Kanye designed with Balenciaga.

In light of the claims, it was reported that Kim is not fazed by rumours her ex-husband has moved on with the Russian model, 35.

Deyemi Okanlawon – “Don’t Kill Yourself All In The Name Of Being A Provider” Actor Advises Men

Posted: 30 May 2021 04:30 AM PDT

Days after revealing that he had been suffering from a strange illness for over 2 years, Deyemi Okanlawon, a Nollywood actor and brand influencer, has advised his fellow men to pause and learn to think about themselves too so as to take care of themselves even as providers.

The talented thespian took to his Twitter account to reveal that men never choose to be providers, so the whole burden of providing for the family should be paused sometimes. This is to enable men to think and take care for themselves, including their physical and mental health.

According to him, this can also be done by visiting therapists and having alone time.

Here's what he tweeted;

"Fellow Nigerian men PLEASE take care of your physical and mental health. You didn't choose your gender or the label of PROVIDER so abeg no kill yourself.

Take off time from chasing those cheques and reward yourself with some quality ALONE time. Get yourself regular medical check ups – there are several things we men need looked at. Find time to speak regularly to a therapist. Trust me you don't want to be a statistic.

Las las rent, school fees, food money, utility bills, etc will always be there and will be sorted whether you're dead or alive. If you no meet up tell them say na owe you owe you no kee pesin! God help us all".

"To keep the 10 commandments these days is easy, I don suffer plenty on earth. Pls, I can't risk going to hell for anybody. It is either Yes, No, Maybe – I'll see what I can do (communicated) or sorry it's not a good time right now for this. I'm an adult, no need for games," she said.

"Truth is, we as you grow older you'll realise how much easier it is to be straight up with yourself first, I hardly tell lies these days cos to be honest, no one is feeding me, I don't need to waste my own time sugar coating words or not matching energy, everyone will be ok," she wrote.


Bill Cosby, 83, Denied Parole After Failing To Participate In ‘Sex Offender’ Therapy Program

Posted: 30 May 2021 03:00 AM PDT

US comedian, Bill Cosby was denied parole in his sex assault case this month due to his failure to complete a prison program for sex offenders, the Pennsylvania Parole Board has said.

Cosby, 83, was convicted in 2018 of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his suburban Pennsylvania mansion in 2004.

He was later sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison.

The comedian isn't eligible for release until Sept. 25 at the earliest, but the board starts interviewing candidates three to five months in advance and spoke to Cosby by video conference on May 7, board spokeswoman Laura Treaster told the NewYork Daily News on Thursday.

Laura Treaster said they denied his parole following the interview.

In a letter detailing its decision, the board cited Cosby's failure to complete the therapy, failure to develop a parole release plan and a "negative recommendation" from corrections officials.

The next time Cosby goes before the board, officials will look to see whether he has "successfully participated in/successfully completed a treatment program for sex offenders and violence prevention," the letter shared by Treaster said.

Cosby's longtime spokesman, Andrew Wyatt, said the decision "was not a surprise" after Cosby refused to participate in what he called a "sexually violent predator" course.

"Mr. Cosby has vehemently proclaimed his innocence and continues to deny all allegations made against him," Wyatt said Thursday.

"Today, Mr. Cosby continues to remain hopeful that the Pennslyvania State Supreme Court will issue an opinion to vacate his conviction or warrant him a new trial."
