Hello Hivers,
How are you guys doing? Hope your day is going smoothly? In Nigeria here, its a season of Maize, in this period its a period where Maize have been harvested and out for consumption.Guess what, I live in a calm environment where things like this isn't out yet for consumption. You know all what? Maize is what is one of the road side food I like to always take in a season like this, before this can be accomplished I have to walk or carry a bike like 12kilometers before I could even get one to eat. The bike could make the journey faster but I will still have to cover like the 12 kilometers.

  • Its also known as Corn or Maize even Zee mays. Its popularly use as oats in part or Scotland and Ireland. But here in Nigeria we use to smoke it. There are alot of middle women who use to make this smoke corn but I only have one seller who she is always available in every season, if you need one just go there she will be there at all times. This is the business she has been doing ever since I have known her.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS USED FOR BUSINESS?

  • CHARCOAL
  • AN IRON FLAT CONTAINER
  • A WIDER IRON SIEVER WITH LARGE HOLES
  • A HAND FAN

PROCESS

  • This is how she goes about her business, she will peel the cover of the maize(here we locally call it epo agbado) After shhe must have peeled it she will now set those maize on the iron siever that has wide holes, underneath is the burning charcoal inside an iron trey. What she will do is that she will now be fanning the charcoal to get hot so it can burnt those maize to a certain degree.

  • I didn't just leave like that,I was able to have talk with her about her business and the most important part the gains she is getting from it. She didn't want to disclose but she just told me the business paid f for her that if its not she would have found something else to do. She also told me that that is what she is doing to support her husband and educate his children, she said she has 3 children though, one in the tertiary institution and others are in the college.
