Cooking in Nigeria is often seen as a lady's duty and so nearly all Nigerian guys can't seem to make a decent plate of meal.
While this is largely due to their tight schedules and busy lifestyle (because they have to work, work, work to able to fully meet up with their financial responsibilities), it's only important and necessary that they know how to juggle one or two mixtures to come up with a decent recipe to fill a plate (at least plate for one) because of the rainy days.
Putting aside the very complicated meals that require a lot of ingredients and step by step guide, here are 5 of the easy to make recipes that every Nigerian guy should know how to prepare.
