    “Tons of Gratitude, with a Heavy Heart. As far as my faith will take me, I give thanks to God. This has been one of the most difficult months for me as an entrepreneur ever and for my family. Still we stand ready to keep moving on, positively. We owe our ability to do this to many, many well-wishers from near and far who encourage us and support our enterprises. I am thankful for our loyal customers and business partners who have gone beyond their personal interests to stand by us no matter what. We have an amazing team of management and staff. The teamwork they have demonstrated to ensure that the Regency Hotel fire challenge is overcome quickly has been wonderful to observe. They are living the Spiritual Guidance we teach all our employees : 2 Timothy 1:7
    “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.” Jeremiah 29:11
    “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I am grateful to government officials, friends, politicians from all political parties, religious leaders, business men and women and others for their encouragement and concerns. I have a heavy heart because though accidents do happen, this fire should not have caused so much damage and destruction. We have a lot to do to reform our state institutions and attitude to working with urgency when we are confronted with problems. First Digital TV is back on air and ATV and BTA are broadcasting. The affected GN Bank and Gold Coast Fund Management branches will be open today for business next door. Our customers’ funds and data are safe. Our disaster recovery procedures have worked well. We are awake to the need to continuously take preventive measures to protect life and property. Our Groupe Nduom spirit is well and alive. I am grateful for the prayers, good wishes and encouragement. God bless all of us.”

  • I can boldly say,  fufu is one of the favorites delicacies among African meals; notwithstanding the hectic method of getting it all set for consumption. Growing up,  i have come to learn several methods of preparing fufu which include the recent evolving technologies such as the Fufu- machine; powdered form, blending methods and the archaic-yet common method thus pounding one’s cassava in a mortar with a pestle; both being ancient devices commonly found in an African Woman’s Kitchen.

    3404105631_1b3cf2eb09_b

    Mostly prepared on weekends in  most African homes due to the hectic means of preparing it, Fufu is consumed with all kinds of soups such as Peanut Soup, Palm-nut Soup, Light-soup and what have you?

    [ptrdg,.jpg

    Looking at all the various methods of preparing Fufu, I think it is high time we deal away with the archaic method; which is the use of Mortar and pestle. This method doesn’t only drain your energy in the course of preparing it but is also unhygienic in a sense that, the one pounding sweats profusely throughout the process.

    Moreover, the hygienic state of the Mortar and Pestle is always in question.  (Yeah I know you can keep yours clean anytime you use it but to what extent?  How do you sanitize them to get rid of all the hidden bacterial, )

    On the 23rd Of February 2017, the Founder and Leader of the International Central Gospel Church ( ICGC) made a statement  that, ” fufu is killing most Africans” while speaking on the need for a change in the mindset of Africans to facilitate growth and development. Many fufu lovers got offended by His statement and read different meanings into it but I looked at the statement from His point of  view.

    NB: I am not against Fufu, I only suggest we get rid of the Archaic methods and go in for the evolving technologies. Fufu powder or get your cassava blended then prepare it like you do Banku. ( How my dad prepares His fufu)

    Fufu, I call it the “Pro” among all the African Delicacies. Yeah i know you side with me.
