“Some people may see it as a waste of time, but for me, it’s very interesting. My wife had her first child in the United States, the day she came back with my first son, I welcomed my Wife with Okro and Okazi soup,” he said.
According to him, it is important to know what goes into the food you eat rather than relying solely on commercially prepared meals where the quality and ingredients may be unknown.
Asked to comment on the viral videos of him cooking for his associates at his residence in Abuja, he said: “What is in cooking? When I’m hungry, I should go and call the chef To prepare?”
According to him, he was brought up in a home where helping with meal preparation, such as grinding pepper and pounding okra was a shared family activity.
