  MOBILECOOKS; OUR ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR   There is a popular adage that says, “ It takes a village to train a child ”. The same goes for any idea, project or business. It’s not enough to have a business plan or idea, implementing this idea into a profitable business will require the input of many other persons and teams.   The thought of Mobilecooks was birthed in 2015, however, with brainstorming, brainwriting, research, pilot surveys and iterating of how the platform should look like, Mobilecooks was finally launched in January 2020 .

Our own dear native land, Though tribe and tongue may differ, In brotherhood we stand, Nigerians all, and proud to serve our sovereign Motherland.   Our flag shall be a symbol That truth and justice reign, In peace or battle honour’d, And this we count as gain, To hand on to our children A banner without stain.   O God of all creation, Grant this our one request, Help us to build a nation Where no man is oppressed, And so with peace and plenty Nigeria may be blessed.   This was our national anthem used from 1960 till 1978 composed by Lillian jean Williams. It looks like it foretold the future howbeit differently.   The Nigeria we looked forward to was one where truth and justice reigned. A land filled with peace and plenty. Where every man was equal and oppression was a thing of the past.   However, What we have today is the exact opposite of...

WHAT THE FUTURE OF COOKING MIGHT LOOK LIKE   Ever wondered about the future?   Have you ever just looked back on your life, compared it to the present and wondered what the future holds?   You must have, at least once.   One thing no one really pays attention to is the kitchen.   We all know food comes out of there, all our lives food has always just emerged from the kitchen.   No one really wonders how humans evolved and learnt how to mix spices, make fires, make easily digestible meals etc.   Shall we take a peek into the past?   THE EVOLUTION OF COOKING AND THE KITCHEN Did you know that up until about 2 million years ago, humans ate their meat raw?   For humans to cook, they must first discover fire and scientists believe that the first use of fire by humans may be around 2 million years ago although the controlled use of fire was around 400,000 years ago.   In fact, It is believed that the...
