Nigerian Thanksgiving Recipe
I honestly didn’t know thanksgiving was a thing in Nigeria until two years ago when Linda Ikeji posted pictures of numerous stars at their thanksgiving table. Even though I still do not understand the relevance of Thanksgiving in Nigeria, I am in support of whatever makes people happy. For me, thanksgiving is a great opportunity to get together with friends and family, share meals and reminisce over happenings in the year.
When it comes to the food part, it can be very daunting especially considering that most Nigerian meals take hours of preparation and cooking. I have been guilty of the “Host- in-the- Kitchen” blunder in the past , where I spent more time in the kitchen than I did with my guests. I am older and wiser now and I don’t think anyone should ever pass up an opportunity to enjoy their own party.
This year I have decided to save the turkey and big cooking for Christmas, there are usually a lot more people around to help then.
“Appetizer and comfort” is the theme for this thanksgiving, not just any appetizer but Nigeria inspired apps. if you want to do away with the cooking all together, definitely choose comfort. Comfort for me is letting someone else do the work by ordering in. there is currently no better way to order in than the dynamic hellofood app, it allows you to sort restaurants around you, order online and get your food delivered.
So what is it going to be? Appetizers or Comfort?

Raven hit the mark Perfectly! Thank God some people will tell the truth! I am two years late on my comment because I heard that Nigerians celebrate Thanksgiving! Seriously! Nigerians do not even celebrate their own independence because of corruption, poverty, and NEPA. Why are they celebrating the destruction of other human beings? They also celebrate Christmas with a white satan Claus, and Valentines day thanks to French slave masters. The New World Order is Here!
Please please consider looking up the holiday’s relevance in America. We consider it a complete farce, a cliche of itself, and all of our holidays are fully accepted as excuses for commercial economic activity and absolutely nothing else. We have nationally popular comedy shows criticize it side by side with indiginous peoples trying to put out media speaking ill of it. Nigerians would do well to nip this in the bud. Have a “Feast”, have a fall Harvest feast (which with seasonal differences is still ‘why bother?’), but PLEASE be someone who starts the seed of not doing the thanksgiving thing based on celebrities trying to be white (let’s call it like it is, you wouldn’t want to celebrate thanksgiving and ignore the fact that it was a slaughtering of native indiginous americans by white people, unless you wanted the favor of white people). I”m a nigerian american who has family still in nigeria and just learned about it being celebrated in Nigeria TODAY through your website, and I hope (even if not all publicized on your website) someone can be the voice to speak ill of American customs. They are more often than not based on a lie based on bloodshed on the part of the white rulers. Or at least please look more into Thanksgiving and the truth behind it then spread the word!!!
Definitely food for thought.
