The Nigerian border maybe closed now with rice being sold at a very high prices yet, it is still the best option for Christmas celebration. The Nigerian local rice will still be considered by the people this time around. Even when there was an outbreak of bird flu some years ago, chicken seems to stand the test in the market. It will still be a favorite meat for people in this coming Christmas celebration. The combination of this duo prepared very well will definitely make your Christmas one to remember. There’s no better special food for your Christmas than a plate of fried/jollof rice with chicken.

Days have passed and I couldn’t reach Funke still. I tried searching for her on Facebook. I’ve tried her name on the social media platform using different prefixes and suffixes such as Funke Williams, Olufunke Williams, to Williams Oluwafunke but couldn’t get a good result. Perhaps she must have used names such as ‘Cocoberry Shantel’; who knows because I don’t believe she’ll be missing on this app. I was very disturbed just to relate my side of the story of the occurrence at the restaurant.

While growing up, Christmas is a day I looked forward to. There is this happiness and warmness in the neighborhood; almost everybody puts on a smiling faces and for the kids, we can’t but wait to adorn our Christmas clothes. As for me and my siblings, a good result at the end of the school term attracts gifts from our parents not to talk of the gifts Santa Claus brings from Rome (even though our teachers acted the part of Santa, it was unknown to us then). It is also an avenue for us to visit our friends and relatives. This period seems to be about jamboree but is that all the day entails is a question to be answered.
