Michael Inyang and Family

                                             


            My name is Michael Archibong Inyang, I was born on the plane of the boarding line of the Equator where you can see daylight and night in between the two at the same time. But my Birth certificate says that I am from Nigeria from a village called Ikot ntan Nsit Ibom local govt. area, when I was a child I grew up learning to do things on my own.
           My favorite traditional Nigerian side is is fufu and melon soup ( Pumpkin seed). First, catch a goat or a chicken, cut half of the goats throat then burn it until the hair is gone. Then, wash it with fresh water until it is clean, then, I will cut it up and boil until done.
            As the meat is boiling, grind the pumpkin seeds, gather two bags of spinach, two bags of Okra, and fresh fish. Cut all ingredients and set aside. Since the okra is getting done cut up the fish and goat meat to a small size, then cut up some onions fry it with palm oil then add at least a teaspoon of maggi, and a little sprinkle of accent, then open two cans of geisha also pour a little of water with the meat an okra, let it boil for at least 10 to 15 min. then everything.
               Last but  not the least,  Boil water in a frying pan until it is real hot then  get the pounded yam fufu and sprinkle it in the water an stir it until the fufu gets like a dough or thick,but make sure that there is No seed. And that is how I make fufu and melon soup. Wash your hands until it is clean, then you get the fufu with your hands, roll it up like a dough and dip it into the soup and swallow.
         

Tunde Wey's Nigerian Cooking

      Tunde Wey is a gentleman from Nigeria (Lagos) going to school to become a doctor, but along the way he dropped out to become a chef. When he was young he learned how to cook by watching his Mom,Aunt and from watching videos on You tube; though he grew up eating the  food and he knew how it will taste.
       While he was living in Detroit he decided to start his own Entrepreneurs business by traveling to different states, also around the world caring only a bag containing spices with him to different stores and restaurant to cook also to sell his food such as fufu, jellof rice, and all sorts of Nigerian food.
         His food was so good that the customers said that it was so amazing that  they couldn't help themselves; so they paid for some more and then the customer went to inform others to go and try it. Tunde said that every time he eats some of his Nigerian cooking that it reminds him of his Mother kissing his cheeks and slobbering all over. Which shows that he misses his parents.
          He had received an invitation to cook at a restaurant called The Diner by Chef Roy in Las Vegas. Although, when he was on the greyhound bus heading to Las Vegas there were two policemen that boarded and notified Tunde that his passport was no longer legal. So they locked him up and while he was in jail he thought that his life had ended.When Chef Roy found out he was in jail for two weeks he came and paid his bond of $6,000.
          When he came out the judge gave him until 2017 to renew his American passport. Tunde now has his own restaurant in Detroit. He is currently doing well and waiting for his court date in 2017.
