GOV AKPABIO SERVED G22 INDOMIE NOODLES AT UYO I usually dont eat indomie noodles. Somehow I consider it kids delicacy. But some time last December I did. I sat out with friends and it was getting really late. I complained that I was going home so I may have my dinner as I dont like waking my wife from sleep to prepare my food. One of my friends Ekusak who was with me gave me a shocker. He advised that I should try the indomie noodle prepared by the nearby Abokie; that he takes it once in a while and simply return home and sleep without having to disturb his wife for food. I asked after the hygiene nature of such food and he said come and see. We approached the Abokie and it turned out to be a Togolese rather than Nigerian Abokie. Without discussing price Abokie boiled water. Next he put in a hungry-man pack of indomie noodles. On top of another stove a frying pan was anxiously waiting. On the indomie he added souse, then garbage, then onion, then scent leave, then carrot, several other vegetables which names I dont know. I have never seen some of those things with my wife when they prepare salad (since as a local man I dont fancy salad, I thought that is why I dont know). Then the big one - he added bitter leaf. Wait a minute. Is that bitter leaf? Why are you adding bitter leaf? I queried. Fa belle, e guot fa belle he said. On the frying pan he fried egg on which he added almost the same quantity of items. Then he mixed the two. Well I sat down to eat. I was almost half way when I had a compelling need to visit the toilet. I left the meal immediately, asked him to cover it as I rushed into a nearby toilet at a fast food joint. Immediately I sat on the WC I wished I had come with pen and paper to write my will. It was a miracle I left the place alive. When I came out I kicked the food to hell scattering everything breaking the plates. The G22 were luckier on December 8, 2014 when the Gov served them indomie at Uyo Stadium covered by Channels TV. This wasnt indomie noodles but indomie party primaries. All the ingredients were there except bitter leaf which was replaced by afia-maggie for extra taste and sugar for sweetness. Unfortunately there was another addition that proved fatal. There was roasted garlic added innocently for the aroma. The fragrance put off the G22 and they filed out of the stadium. There was another content which wasnt disclosed. Rum mixed with red wine was added to the indomie. The delegates on their part had no choice but to eat especially as the final serving was blended by a local ingredient called naira. To the glory of God none of them visited the toilet but they seem to have become permanently intoxicated. A woman who ate still tells her husband that he has a familiar face. So drunk were they that they casted ghost votes like voting for a ghost Obong Victor Attah, Otuekong Don Etiebet among others who were not at the stadium. What Gov Akpabio finds difficult to understands is why the G22 have decided to prepare their own version of indomie in appreciation of his December 8 delicacy. Most annoying part is that the meal is prepared in far away Abuja. Considering that they have a woman in their mist, the ingredients might prove too much for Gov Akpabio. We hear the stuff is blended with some souses and vegetables from Oron, Ikot Abasi, Eket, and Ibono even up to Ibiono. What would be the final taste of this royal indomie would be known on January 14. Given that some foods in places like Oron are known to be blended with akang a form of calcium carbonate, which may not go well with some types of indomie-primaries, the governor might need more than a toilet except he finds a way to quench the fire on which the indomie pot is currently coking. The stomach of a governor is not street adaptable. Therefore 22 ingredients might prove too much for a plate of indomie for His Excellency the Governor of AKS. The President and NWC of the party should do something - fast. JAMES ABANG WRITES FROM ATTE-OKIUSO VILLAGE, URUEOFFONG/ORUKO LGA (08037277620 SMS)
