Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality

Gender Equality - Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

• Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work, and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sustainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large
• While a record 143 countries guaranteed equality between men and women in their Constitutions by 2014, another 52 had not taken this step. In many nations, gender discrimination is still woven through legal and social norms
• Though goal 5 is the gender equality stand-alone goal, the SDG's can only be successful if women are completely integrated into each and every goal

Everybody can agree that these are worthy aspirations, right?

How I really feel about women cooking stew // and a path to freedom

I am so happy and proud about the industrial solutions being created now, by Nigerians, to take the arduousness out of fixing food with the ubiquitous red 'obe ata' sauce.

1. 
Have you tried Obe by Easy Sauces? 
I found this product in a neighbourhood shop and was so delighted I grabbed one of each type.  Tried to gift one to my mother so I could try it out but she wouldn't touch it.  Loool, she obviously doesn't want this kind of change from the original method.  I'll try it eventually ... or find someone who cooks enough to use up the contents. 

Plenty pepper

Medium pepper

2. 
There's also a company called OmoAlata that makes pre-mixed stew / pepper mixes for sale in stores and online:

Buy online (we deliver!): OmoAlata Original peppermix https://t.co/VM77Hy4Ouv pic.twitter.com/R1bRsvW2pG

3. 
And another called Kaptain Foods with the same idea:

#Kaptain is live at #GTBankFoodDrink Stop by our exhibition booth for free tastings and to see all the delicious dishes you can make with our Ready Stews.

Grab a pack of Kaptain Ready Stews! Available in stores across Lagos in packs of 250g and 1kg (Mild or Hotpot)#kaptain #buynigerian #madeinnigeria

A post shared by Kaptain (@kaptainfoods) on May 12, 2017 at 4:37am PDT

I bought two mini-packs of the Kaptain stew at that GTBank Food Fair and I've used them now.  The mild sauce was alright, it even included oil.  The hotpot had too much pepper for my taste but I had some tomatoes in a can so it was alright.  The food I made was yummy hehehe, going to finish the leftovers for lunch/dinner today.

I suggest a third Kaptain stew...with less pepper than the so-called mild but who knows maybe everybody loves pepper so much around here but many foreigners don't!
