About Naijamaican

The proprietor is Black and British and of Nigerian heritage from Isale Eko in Lagos, Nigeria.

The proprietor enjoys cooking and also enjoys the planning and preparation stages and of course the looks and comments of satisfaction after a job well done.

With in depth knowledge of the preparation methods and cooking practices and adaptation expertise that facilitate a desirable end product appealing to all cultural groups and excellent organisational, planning, management and creative skills, including a willingness working hard to earn a living; Naijamaican started out providing ad hoc catering services, progressing to setting up naijamaican.co.uk initially providing cultural recipes, food images and links to sites of interest whilst scaling red tape and carefully developing the site into the main contact and information portal for the business.

The evidence if one might call it that can be found in the food gallery where a variety of foods are displayed after being repeatedly cooked over and over again, adapting and improving the end product using existing traditional recipes and methods.

Final Note
A big THANK YOU to Almighty God;
To all those that have provided me with information, access to their sites, advice and support with programming and setting the site and forums up.
To those who have provided practical, realistic, sensible and non detrimental advice and support.
To my business advisor for keeping me going with helpful pointers, advice and information and for helping me remain on my own track.
To my Grandma and Grandad (now nanogenarians if you must know!) for passing on a wealth of cultural and traditional information.
To my mum and Grandma for helpful instructions, hints and tips and teaching me how to prepare a majority of the dishes featured,
To my dad for his continued encouragement and positivity and my sisters for their support.
To my aunties, uncles, friends and extended family for all the helpful praise, advice, support and feedback and for passing on their knowledge and skill over my lifetime.
To members of the public who have mailed me happy, thankful and positive messages and simply surfed on in and had a look see.
Most of all thumbs up for my DAUGHTER who has put up with me working on this venture to secure both our futures and continues to make declarations of approval when eating the food I knock up!!.

Please do tell your friends about the site, the primary purpose is not just to make money but to keep culture alive and enable a continuance of transfer of traditional practices such as cookery and language skills whilst promoting communication and sociocultural cohesion within the black and minority ethnic groups community.

Many come but few are chosen, God Almighty has the last dance in the dancehall of life, we are all human and remain at his mercy, no man exceeds God and his infinite mercy and power, Our future is what we make it and not what we allow others to shape it into, May God's blessings bestow us all with peace of mind, prosperity, happiness, good health and ease our passage through life by blessing us all the time and keeping us from harm and ill will. Amen.
