Ever since my kids joined me here in the U.S., my eyes opened to a whole new reality.
Before they came, it was just me. I’d sort myself out, eat anyhow or order food when I feel like. Life wasn’t easy, but at least it was simple. Now, with kids around, I can’t just freestyle again. Every day it’s ā€œMummy, I’m hungry,ā€ and I’m there trying to juggle my work and still figure out what to feed them.
And let me not lie, as I’m cracking brain over tech work during the day, I’m also cracking brain over what to feed these children. Thank God say for here, I fit go online and order food — fresh, hot, and delivered to my door in less than 30 minutes.
But every time I do that, I keep thinking… what about people back home?
What about the hardworking women in Onitsha who are up and down in the market from morning till night — and still have to rush home to start cooking?
What about that guy doing well, living alone, who is always wondering what to eat at night?
What about mums like mine who go above and beyond to cook even when they are clearly tired?
This food wahala is real — and it’s not just a ā€œwoman problemā€ or ā€œlazy personā€ thing. It’s a life problem.
And that’s why I’m doing this.
I’m building something from the heart — something for people who are doing their best but just need one less thing to stress about.
It’s called WarmBowl Meals.
It’s not buka. It’s not ā€œjust any food.ā€ It’s well-prepared, healthy, home-style meals delivered to your door. Meals that taste like home — not fast food with too much seasoning. We’re taking food back to the roots but with modern ease.
We’re not launching yet — still doing all the behind-the-scenes work, building the right team, creating a solid plan, and talking to the right people. But one thing is sure — this is coming to Onitsha.
And it’s going to be different.
So if you live in Onitsha, or know someone who does, just keep an eye out. Something sweet, healthy, and thoughtful is coming.
We’ve created a page where we’ll be sharing the journey, behind-the-scenes, the stories, and of course, the food!
Follow us for update. We are lunching in August
This one is personal to me.
This one is for all of us.
This one is WarmBowl. šŸ²

If you want to understand the magnitude of problems in Nigeria, try searching for someone to employ.

I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday, and he said he has been looking for farm managers for more than six months now, yet can’t find any. He’s starting an animal farm in Oba and needed two guys to man the farm. He’s even ready to train them if they don’t have the required skills, and he has free accommodation for them. Yet, for the past six months, he’s still searching.

This gets me thinking—job search and employee search in Nigeria is like searching for a husband or wife. So many people saying they can’t find a man or woman to marry, yet when you’re ready to marry, you can search with flyers and still not find anyone to settle down with.

So many people are looking for jobs, yet when you want to employ, you won’t see anyone to hire. It’s either you don’t find any, or the ones you find have no skill—or they’re charging your entire month’s profit as salary.

This country is all shades of wahala. If only someone could develop a real solution to connect employees with employers. In short, we need a dating app for work.

There’s also a current search for a cook that has lingered for months. Everyone claims to know how to cook—until you ask them to cook for you to see. What you’ll end up seeing is maggi sauce, not soup.

Please, if you know how one can find farm managers as well as cooks, abeg let me know. And if you have any skill in Nigeria, learn to market yourself so that you can be discovered when needed.

Growing up, there’s one thing my mum always told people about me.
I’ve heard relatives complain that I was ā€œlazy.ā€ Not because I couldn’t do domestic work — but because I wasn’t built for it. I wasn’t that girl that enjoyed pounding fufu, washing onugbu, or cooking with firewood. In fact, if you were hungry and waiting for me to finish cooking, you might just starve šŸ˜….
While others could finish house chores in two hours, I’d take the whole day.
But whenever anyone complained, my mum would say something that stuck with me:
ā€œLeave Chii. She might look lazy, but she’s smart and intelligent. One day she’ll use her brain to make enough money to pay people to do all these things.ā€
From that early age, my mum taught me that my worth as a woman isn’t measured by how much domestic work I could do — but by the value I carry inside me.
Today, even my siblings know. I may not be the go-to person for kitchen work, but I’ve been the think tank in the family — always finding ways to make life easier for everyone.
In this world we’re in, I’ve come to believe something even stronger:
You’re not a better wife because you suffer more.
You’re a better woman when you manage your home with wisdom.
Some men don’t even respect their wives despite all the pounding and sweating — but give that same respect to women blazing trails in their businesses or careers.
The truth is: A wife is not a servant. She’s a home manager.
It’s not about doing everything yourself. It’s about ensuring things get done.
As for me, I will always make sure my family eats well. But it doesn’t have to be me cooking it every time. If outsourcing cooking makes life easier and helps me serve my family better — they no born me born suffer. 😌
If it even means eating out once in a while, I chest that with my full heart.
Me, I want soft life. Who is with me or am I on my own?

Does it really matter who prepares the food in a home — or is the important thing that the home has good food?

If a wife is overwhelmed and decides to outsource weekly meal prep — not because she’s lazy, but because she wants her family to still eat well while keeping her own sanity… is that a bad thing?

She might even spend the same (or more!) trying to cook it all by herself — not to mention the stress of market runs, cooking, and cleaning.

Isn’t the goal to feed the home well — not necessarily to do everything by hand?

I’d love to hear honest thoughts. Let’s talk šŸ‘‡šŸ¾

Grateful for the Honor šŸ†

Yesterday, I was deeply honored to receive the Selfless Service Award from the Rotary Club of Onitsha Royal. Although I couldn’t be there in person, my dear brother stood in for me and received the award on my behalf.

This recognition means a lot to me—not just because of the award itself, but because it represents the impact of quietly doing what one believes in: giving, serving, showing up for others.

To the Rotary Club of Onitsha Royal, thank you for this gesture. I am humbled, encouraged, and reminded that someone is always watching. May we all continue to find purpose in service.

Thank you Chi Edozie forcsyanding in for me.

We had farewell part for Anambra priest in our parish . He was ordained in the US July 2023. Ever since then, he has been in our parish. He is being transferred as a chaplain to a Catholic school. This priest is so much loved by all the parishioners despite tribe or race. He speaks English, Igbo and Spanish fluently.
We are really going to miss him as our parish felt like home having him in a White dominated parish like ours . Do you know he is even an identical twins. You can hardly differentiate them. His twin brother was present today.
See Somtoo penning down farewell message for him.
