FOOD IS MY LIFE!

FOOD IS MY LIFE!

Growing up, I was told that dreams that cannot put you in trouble cannot put food on your table. Armed with the knowledge and exposure that I have about food, I realized that I have gone through a contrasting cyclic seasons of life where one gives birth to the other. As much as I tried, I could not escape the dry season to have the rainy season and the attitude I developed in the dry season is what I am enjoying in the rainy season. In my food journey, I have sowed during the seed time and now I am harvesting.

I am living my dream and it’s a great opportunity to be sandwiched between two high profile University administrators, Prof. Maduebibisi O. Iwe, Vice-Chancellor of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU) and Prof. Iorwueze D. Gernah, Vice-Chancellor of University of Mkar Mkar-Nigeria, Gboko. It’s a great moment that I will cherish for a long time though I had wanted to be a scholar but ended up being Mr. FOOD and a Food Evangelist. Food champions are groomed in the dry season and they manifest in the rainy season. And as a food champion myself, I have been groomed in the dry season and that is why I am manifesting good fruits in the rainy season. I thank God for the dry season which has produced the best stuffs of which many food champions are made. I equally thank God that I was born in Nigeria, a home of good foods.

Now, I know longer look at the turbulent side of life anymore but constantly focus my attention on the food side of life. My thoughts are generally on food and I know better that by simply changing the way I eat has really change the way I feel about myself. I encourage you to be mentally stable so as to be in control of your mind and body and your cravings and emotions will not make food decisions for you but the decisions are yours. I am not a terrible eater as I tend to eat real food and I never eat too much as I am choosy of what I ate.
