I have seen headlines of posts and even videos posted on Facebook which are meant to guide people on how best to prepare one the best Nigeria delicacies which is okro soup but I am not here to teach it.
The major thing I am concerned about is the process involved. Okra soup is one of the foods enjoyed by the Nigerian people and some other people around the world and it is prepared with oil, okra, fish, meat, water, seasoning and some other ingredients in a desired sequence which ensures that no step in the process of cooking is skipped.
Now, I am interested in discussing this because it teaches some lessons like:
1. Time management:
You don't just jump into the whole thing without first knowing how long it can take you. So, preparing is needed and time management is the key to getting things done as at when due.
2. Sequence.
It follows certain procedures. It is about time you learnt cooking so that you can be better than I am. Generally, you don't jump the process as there is time to put oil, time to add salt and time to add other things like seasoning and vegetables which could be pumpkin or bitter leaves.
So also it is in life, there is time for everything.
3. Ingredients.
Sit down. Think. Ask yourself, do you have all that is required to finish that building project, land that job or even go for more courses. In cooking okro soup in a typical Nigerian setting, you need to put down a list of what you are going to use for the cooking. Get them from the market and then get set to start cooking okro soup. Your tools should also be ready and your pot washed.
You see, cooking is what everybody should learn because it teaches life lessons that pertain to success, academics and professionalism.
Ladies and gentlemen, Children and the people in the world all over, enjoy!
