Has anyone noticed that Okpa is gradually becoming more available in Lagos state compared to five years ago ?
We are witnessing more women hawk this local food in Lagos state but the question for me is - have you bought Okpa that tasted so good like you bought it in the east? For me, I haven’t and I really hold off in patronizing cooked Okpa in Lagos. I do not trust Okpa in the hands of these women but take me to the east- Nsukka, Abakpa, Old park and I can close my eyes to buy Okpa.
The truth is Okpa is that food that requires less in ingredients but expertise in making.
You only need fresh pepper, salt and pepper to make Okpa but you need experience that has been tried and tasted to make the perfect Okpa that is not hard or soft.
Even, when you are experienced at it, you need grace to make that perfect Okpa.
Do you buy Okpa from road sellers in Lagos ?.
