Here's a restructured version of your text, keeping all the details intact while maintaining the Nigerian Pidgin parts: --- I NO DEY COOK MY MEALS WITH ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS I come from a home where we prioritize natural ingredients—no additives, no artificial seasonings like those overly processed spices. The only seasoning my mom uses is “seasoning cubes,” and even that, it's just one or two cubes. She adds it only when steaming meat stock—one cube if there’s little meat and two if there's more. When she cooks the main meal, she doesn’t add extra seasoning cubes. Trust me—even without those artificial ingredients, her food tastes amazing! I learned this from my mom, and I also don’t prepare meals with processed ingredients. Back in 2020, as a fresher in higher institution, I had a neighbor who was also a fresher. She cooked everything with seasoning cubes, even her eggs before frying them. One day, while I was cooking beans, she was in the kitchen with me. She asked, “You never add Maggi?” I replied, “I no dey use Maggi cook beans.” She was shocked, saying, “Which kind thing be that?” I explained that we don’t cook with Maggi at home, and that beans is naturally sweet—adding Maggi is just unnecessary. This neighbor often wondered how my food was always tasty without using Maggi (not that I never used seasoning cubes at all—I do, but minimally), unlike some people I see online and offline who add six to seven cubes to small portions of food. One day, this neighbor’s younger sister came to visit and prepared sweet potato porridge. I watched as she added about five cubes of seasoning cubes to the sweet potato. Haba nau! I couldn’t understand why someone would add so much seasoning to a food that’s naturally sweet. When she finished cooking, they couldn’t eat it because it was over-seasoned. It was like someone had added excessive salt to a dish—irritating to the tongue. I laughed so hard 😂. They ended up throwing the food away because it was terrible. As I said earlier, we don’t use these overly processed ingredients at home, yet our meals are delicious. However, during my time as a student, I started adding seasoning cubes to my beans because I wanted it to have some flavor. At that period, ‘sapa’ had hit me as an unemployed student. I would sneak to add it to my meals so my neighbor wouldn’t catch me and start asking why I was cooking with Maggi. Even when I returned home for breaks and holidays, I would hide and add seasoning cubes—even to the beans. Unfortunately, my mom could tell when I added Maggi; she would ask, “okwa itinyere maggi na beans a?” which means, “You added Maggi to this beans, right?” I would admit it, and she would respond, “ona ato ririri too much,” meaning “it tastes too sweet.” At that point, she wouldn’t enjoy the meal anymore. My mom introduced us to using natural ginger and garlic for making stew—not the powdered or flavored versions, but the real deal. The only seasoning cube in the stew comes from the meat stock. I’m sorry to say, but now? I don’t just cook with seasoning cubes; I incorporate other spices (processed), but not too much. This is only when I’m in school. When I’m home for the holidays and cooking, I stick to our traditional methods—no artificial ingredients. You won’t even find such things in our kitchen at home. I cook delicious meals there without any artificial additives, and everyone always enjoys them. Photo attached: College girl on 19th March 2020 😄 📸: Jasper DO YOU COOK YOUR BEANS WITH MAGGI?
