Yam porridge, also called yam pottage, is a popular and comforting Nigerian dish made with yam cubes cooked until soft and creamy in a flavorful sauce. It is often prepared with palm oil, pepper, onions, seasoning, and sometimes vegetables like spinach or ugu.

The yam absorbs the rich flavors as it cooks, giving the meal a sweet and savory taste. Some people also add fish, crayfish, meat, or smoked prawns for extra flavor. Yam porridge is not only filling but also highly nutritious, providing energy, vitamins, and minerals.

It’s a simple, hearty meal enjoyed across many Nigerian homes, perfect for family gatherings or everyday meals.

Alright 😊 Let’s have a little talk on Apapa, a special traditional meal from the Ebira people of Kogi State, Nigeria.

Apapa is a wholesome dish made mainly from beans (usually black-eyed or brown beans). The beans are not peeled, blended into a smooth paste, and then mixed with ingredients like palm oil, pepper, onions, and seasoning before being wrapped in leaves (often banana or uma leaves) and steamed.

It’s quite similar to moin-moin but has its own Ebira twist in preparation and flavor. Apapa is highly nutritious, rich in protein, and filling, making it a staple for both everyday meals and special occasions in Ebira culture.

Beyond the taste, Apapa carries cultural pride—it’s often served at festivals, family gatherings, and traditional ceremonies, symbolizing unity and hospitality.

👉 So, when you hear “Apapa,” think of a delicious, protein-packed, leaf-wrapped delicacy that reflects Ebira tradition and love for good food.

This week on *Africa Giant*, we spotlight *Tems* the Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer whose voice has not only captured hearts but redefined how the world hears Afrobeat and R&B.

Here’s to the girl who dared to sound different and made the whole world tune in.

*How it’s made:*
Masa starts with soaked rice (sometimes mixed with a bit of cooked rice), blended smoothly. Yeast or a natural fermentation process helps it rise, giving it that airy texture. Some recipes add a splash of milk, sugar, or even onions. Once the batter is ready, it's poured into a *masa pan* (with round molds) and cooked over fire till golden brown at the bottom and soft on top.

Think pancake meets tradition fluffy inside, a little crispy outside.

*What it’s eaten with:*
Masa is super versatile. It goes with miyan taushe (pumpkin soup), suya, spicy pepper sauce, or even honey for a sweet version.

Vanessa Nakate isn’t just raising awareness she’s raising the bar. Born in Uganda, she began her climate activism alone with a sign on the streets of Kampala. Today, she’s standing shoulder to shoulder with world leaders, demanding climate justice for Africa. In a world where African voices are often sidelined, Vanessa reminds us that the fight for the planet must include those most affected. Her journey is proof that one voice can spark a movement and that Africa’s climate story deserves a global stage.

Let’s talk Abacha – the African Salad! 🥗✨

Abacha is a popular delicacy from Eastern Nigeria, especially among the Igbo people. Made from shredded, dried cassava, it’s often mixed with ugba (oil bean), palm oil, pepper, onions, crayfish, garden eggs, and sometimes kpomo or fish for that extra flavor!

It’s more than a snack – it’s culture on a plate. Served at parties, gatherings, or just as a chilled evening treat, Abacha is that spicy, refreshing meal
