The COMedy Rumble: Strange Things.
Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-blue-glitter-v-neck-sleeveless-dress-977539/ I submitted an entry for the Comedy Open Mic on Hive and I shared my experience based on what I faced when I was serving in another state as far back as 2008. It's something you can look back on and smile about now but it wasn't something to laugh at back then. We were mostly angry and looked forward to when we would leave service year π€£π. I also shared some of the strange food combinations people eat which I can never understand ππ. I've had my fair share of strange things in this life. The things that left my jaw dropping and the ones that makes me show that surprised emoji as though my eyes would pop out from their sockets. Some things my eyes have seen, even my mouth is tired of talking about them. Sometimes I just look the other way and mind my business but there are some times you just can't mind your business especially when you are being dealt with by the mosquitoes. During my mandatory National Youth Service Corps after graduation from the University, I was posted to another state called Kwara. I have never been there but I was excited because at least I wasn't sent into a land so far away. It's just 3-4 hours away from my State. After the orientation camp, I was posted to a place called Lafiagi which is another roughly 2 hours. Everything in that place is always to the extreme πππ€£π€£π. If it rains, just pray you are indoors else you wouldn't have a place to hide except in another person's house. When it's windy, just pray you have no clothing items outside else, just plan on buying another cloth because you can't find it again. Ah! When it's sunny, you can have your bath 3-4 times a day and I wondered if maybe that's why everyone there looks so dark πππ. We were in the common room when this wind started that day. I saw it coming and I quickly ran into my room, locked my windows and bolted my door when someone ran downstairs to pick up his washed clothes. As he was passing the common room, this wind lifted the blackboard and threw it on his back as though the wind was angry why it was denied an opportunity to wear clothes. It was funnier when the guy narrated it to us. It was in this place that I noticed mosquitoes are different. Ah. Whoever tells you that simple things in life don't matter, knock the person on the head because it's obvious that person has never been in bed with a mosquito. Tiny but powerful with commanding effect. I've never seen a mosquito with curvy proboscis or mouth before. I killed this mosquito and I noticed the curvy mouth. That was when I knew that mosquitoes have grade - straight mouths, curvy mouths, bent mouths and strange-looking ones too. Another strange thing I've seen involves food. If you live in Nigeria and you see some weird food combinations, just know that whoever is combining such want to fill the tummy so they won't have to eat again either till the next day or later that night. We call it tummy stuffing but I can never understand people combining Noodles/Spag with bread. Ah. Are you a cultist? What is your sole purpose or what do you want to achieve with that weird combo? How can people combine noodles with bread, bread oh... I mean bread? Ah The one that gets me confused the most are those who combine Fufu (Starch) with beans. When you are not an armed robber, how can people eat Fufu (Starch) with beans? I've always been hearing the phrase that says "***Many are mad but few are roaming***" I actually believed it for the first time when I started seeing weird food combinations. ***What's the weird food combination you've had or seen before now? I would love to know...*** *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's whyΒ I advise people to take a dose of "****Olawalium****" daily.* π Kindly follow me on **Noise.Cash**... I am trying to engage more with people and connect with everyone with this account. I look forward to seeing you there... You can say hello to me there so we can get familiarized as well.

I don't have a lot of experience as the same like yours, our living is such natural and were poor that cannot afford a different kind of food.Our common food combination is an Egg will mix any kind of can goods like sardines or corned beef.its very deliciousπ
Eggs with Sardine or corned beef... That's not bad at all. I've not tried it before though, not sure.
Yeah it's really delicious,promise you will like it
I think this is something I can try but never bread with noodles π€£π
I eat my pasta with bread. That's delicious. Haha
Whaaaaaaaat? That's a huge disrespect for your pasta πππ€£π€£πππ€£
ππππ I think the weirdest I have had is noodles and bread...it tasted nice Sha I won't lieπ The weirdest I have seen is soup and biscuit...abeg why would anybody even want to do this? I just kept looking at this friend of mine as she was telling me omor it's sweet ooo.. I wept!
π€£π€£ππ so you are the bread and noodles gang... I've marked you now ππ€£π€£πππ€£. Soup and biscuit? Some people are not just normal π€£ππ. I was also told people take Fufu with beans. Ah. Are they okay at all? πππ€£π
I think its the ones you just listed above, noodles with bread. Am still trying to wrap my head around that. How will it taste like and what's the nutritional value. ππ
π€£π€£πππ€£π€£ππ I can't understand the nutritional value either. I can never try it no matter what... except money is involved anyway πππ€£ππ... That's the only value I wish to trade to try it and it has to be for the right price πππ€£
I just imagine how the person looks like when it got hits by the flying boardππ that was indeed funny, but I wish it didn't hurt the person that much. Anyway that spaghetti with bread is not weird to me as I like that combination π€£π, but not now anymore as that combination makes me fat. I mean fattier..,π€£
ππππ€£π€£ the board dealt with the guy and he's a tall guy. Thank God he wasn't injured but he didn't expect it π€£π€£π. You also eat bread and spag? πππ€£π€£ππ Now I know the weird food combo you also eat. I wish you see your latest picture or your picture when you used to eat it πππ€£π€£ππ€£.
I never saw something like curvy mosquitoes, heheh, that sounds weird. Me too have combine different ingredients in cooking when there is nothing left in the kitchen.
I saw different mosquitoes and I feared for my life πππ€£ππ€£ Hahahaha you are one of the explorers too π€£ππ€£π
I guess I won't survive living in that place.. I don't want to get hit by a hard board on a windy day π€£
My Janey is delicate, I don't even want you living in this particular area. I have other tush and posh areas for you here in Nigeria where you will be living the baby girl kinda fun life.
Quite strong what you lived, without a doubt perfect to see life from another perspective. Regarding the food thing in Nigeria, I have also seen that pattern here in Venezuela.
Yes, it's the same everywhere. Most people have weird food combos they eat.
Ha, you have shake my table now oooπ π π π , I love eating noodles and bread very well. It's very sweet ooo to be candid but it's weird truly π π π . That's the only combo I have tried out but have seen a lot of people eat mad stuff, some eat Eba and beans together, chai π π π
Princess said she ate Eba with beans and it's sweet. Ah. She's a hoodlum π€£ππ€£π€£π. These weird combos enh, I can never try it o.
Big time hoodlum, she can choke person oooπ π π π
Well let me surprise you I am among those weird cultist who eats food in weird combinations. From noodles with bread, rice, chapati are normal for me. But we do it rarely. I think our taste buds sometimes wants to taste different and have urge to mix different foods. Rice with chips, biscuits with bread or chapati. There are so many combinations I have tried that I don't remember at all. Yeah one more ate rice with honey. It was delicious but the consumption was huge of honey for single day. So never tried it again.
πππ€£πππ€£π€£π€£ππ you are weird hahahaha I agree, your combinations are weird. Rice with chips? Ah. Bread with biscuits? Ah. ππ€£π€£ππ€£ I can't.
Have you even see the combination of Rice and Okro/Ewedu before? π π π My mom taught me then and I only ate it twice or so but now, I don't dare eat it. Why would I when I am not poor π€£π€£ Na condition make us eat such weird combination and mom would be like βit is the best food everβ. ππππ Also, go and try beans and Eba. When I used to eat Eba, I don't miss eating with beans π€£π€£π€£π€£
Ah! It's official, you are not alright π€£π€£ππ€£π€£π Eba with beans? Ah! When it's not as if you don't want to eat again for the rest of the day? You will just be drinking water. I can never...πππ€£ππ
it is funny especially the part where to talked about the different type of mosquito you saw.....In my school days i have seen a lady eating rice and beans with okoro soup i can never forget that day it was weird and funny. I have eaten beans and eko kolobo before my GF find it wired but i love it very sweet
Rice and beans with okro soup π€£π€£ππ€£π€£π what are we doing in this country? πππ€£ππ€£ Eko and beans... I think I've tried that one before. My mom always make us eat it back then.
Noddles and bread is a normal combo for us sir, haven't you seen someone use Noddles to drink pap/custard.. Or is it Eba with Noddles... Nigerians are blessed with a strong immune system, because the kind of terrible things people eat. You will wonder if it is for hunger or for fameππ
Aswear ooooo π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£ We are so blessed honestly no cap.... Kai...Imagine me eating cabin biscuit with pap ahhh my mom lasan I don't understand ahh...and I would enjoy it very well.
your own still make sense, what about eating beans with akaraπππ.. Shey! We wan die for this country ni
Haaa beans with akara.....what's the difference lmao π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£.....it's same thing nau...just that this one is grinded and fried while the other is cooked....π€£π€£π€£...crazy things are happening π€£
That's the reason for the popular comment 'we no reach 5 again for this country we head still correct...' . have seen someone eat rice while smoking cigarette...π
Crazy things are happening by tems who knows what she had seen π€£
Her eyes don see shege and weirdos πππ€£ππ€£π€£
πππ€£πππ€£π€£ππ at the point, I give up...I really give up ππππ€£π€£ππ
Stranger things are happening π€£πππ€£π my Ces.
Very soon strangest things would happen too π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£
Ah. Akara with beans again? Beans on beans π€£π€£ππ€£π€£π
πππ€£πππ€£π€£πππ€£ cabin biscuits with pap. Do you break it inside the pap or what?
I don't remember...but I think I would bite it and scoop the pap
π€£π€£ππ€£π€£ππ so many terrible and weird combos. The kind of things we eat enh, we should have landed at the hospital πππ€£ππ
Haa jesu lol π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£ Which one is fufu with beans....God of mercy...my stomach ooooπ€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£π€£....nothing person will not hear and see...when you think you have seen it all...it's just the beginning π€£π€£π€£
That person must have been very hungry to have combined that weird combo together. Maybe they ran out of stew because I can never understand it. It's weird and funny to me too πππ€£πππ€£
Let them kwotinu
πππ I'm currently studying in Kwara state and I can relate very well.. When there is cold, just forget bathing in the morning.. Move it to the afternoon.. Though the food part, what I eat mostly is EBAπ₯π₯π₯π«π
Kwara enh... Serious extremes there. Everything is always in excess. Very scary.
I was already screaming about the spaghetti and bread, until I saw fufu and beans π Omo! God punish poverty, how do they even eat something like that? They chew the fufu abi wetin? That's gotta be the worst food combo I have heard, way worse than drinking garri with raw plantain (yes, I have seen it happen π)
I think people come up with weird food combo based on how hungry they are at the moment. I can't even begin to imagine Fufu with beans. Is beans the stew they did it in? I can never understand. I am angry...how dare they ridicule my plantain like that??? π€£π€£ππ
What of eba and ekuru, for this country, na where u reach ooo people are eating something
Ah! My precious Ekuru with Eba? Ah.
