  1. How do one preserve plantain so that it can stay long. I don't even know how to explain it self, you buy bunch of unripe plantain and before you come back from work everything has turn to ripe plantain.

    Is there any hope for one if all get ripe in one day and you cannot rush to finish it.

    1. Good question. I really need answer to this question.

    2. Where the plantain is kept hot.

      Delete
    3. Put in the fridge and when you want to use it, remove it the night before (Both ripe and unripe) i'm not wasting plantain again

      Delete
    4. 1) A room or place with normal temperature(not hot at all)..

      Tie a rope to the wall or any place a rope can stay there,tie another rope to the plantain and hang on those rope..

      2) A fridge,that is if you have constant power supply..

      Note:Not Freezer

      Hope this helps..

    5. just put your ripe plantain in your freezer, the back might turn black but it will slow down the softening process

      Delete
    6. I always tie the plantain head with nylon bag. Tie it very well. It will take time to ripe. The best thing is not to over buy anyway.

      Delete
    7. Thanks for this. I have learnt this too

      Delete
    8. Always separate the fingers. When they touch each other, they secrete a substance that makes them ripen faster. I read this somewhere and it has prevented my bunch from ripening all at once.

      Delete
    9. You put them inside o basin of water. Let the water cover it all. It stays unripe.

    4. For manual popcorn machine. Put your oil or butter first, when it's hot put your 🌽, monitor closely when it's popping you quickly put sugar to avoid burning, when it's fully popped you put your milk powder and mix well. For electric machine, same process but the electrical current is not supposed to be low to get a well popped corn. Hope this helps.

    Some people do not know that phones are one's privacy.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You can disable apps from refreshing in the background so data won't be used and that is equivalent to app freezing.

      Go to your "setting" then scroll and tap on "General" scroll to "background" App refresh" and click then scroll to the apps you want to freeze and disable.
      No more data for the app(s) until you enable next time.

    I just lost my original NIN slip and i am all time pained.
    Is it even possible to get another one?
    It's the one doled out to me by the NIMC after that first black and white slip
    Does anybody have any idea as to what i can do?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Go to any NIN office and tell them
      They can print jt out with your NIN number

      Do you have the number copied out somewhere?
      Or use your name ( may be hard)
      I have someone who works there who can help
      Let me know So I can share the persons details

      Delete
    2. I hope you find help but you are using ‘doled out’ absolutely wrong. To dole out is to give out in portions.

      I often read your comments and wonder if this was how you spoke or if your comments were meant to be funny. If the stagy grammar is a joke, then I apologize for the correction.

      Delete
    3. Go to any NIMC office close to you explain to them that your NIN slip got missing, you would be ask to write your full name,date of birth and phone number you used during registration. That's what would be used to search and print another copy for you.

      Delete
    4. All those NIN reg centre or sim outlet can help you if you can produce your NIN no,then they reprint..

      You can go to one and get more info,not a big deal plus whether in black or original copy(which is rare now),they are all acceptable where needed..

    2. Frames are according to your pocket. They come in grades form N2k upwards. You can buy your own frame and give to your eye doctor if you don't want to buy from him/her. Eye doctors are relatively cheap. It depends on your case. Most Catholic Church in Abuja have eye clinics. You can visit any of them as they are cheaper.
