these are pictures of me on a street in okpoi gonno accra. its about 20-30 minutes from the legon campus. this was an eventful night of food tasting, listening to music, exploring a new place, and hanging out with friends.\this is a picture of my meal `(egusi and iyan) from Mama Put, which is a Nigerian Restaurant in ghana. me and my friend were craving some food from back home, so we decided to go out and eat some nigerian food. this was our first time eating nigerian food since being in ghana. we were so home sick and this is what we needed to make us feel at home again. iyan is pounded yam. and egusi is a soup made up of spinach, ground beans, assorted meats, and other things. we really enjoyed our meal. we are so happy to know that if were ever craving nigerian food, that have a place to go and satisfy ourselves.
