We know some of you are
ardent lovers of Agege bread;
it is even useless trying to act
posh again when it comes to
eating that bread because
everyone knows you can kill
for it even though you can
afford to buy the regular
sliced bread.
We really cannot blame you
because Agege bread would
always bask in its glory. Seeing
it being hawked in the street or
perceiving its sweet smell after
baking would make you want to
eat it no matter what. It has
been saving people from hunger
since forever as one could
afford to buy one.
As a matter of fact, we are
sure many Lagosians must have
died of hunger if not for the
role of Agege bread in the
society. And there is a way the
sellers arrange the loaves on
their trays; the butter
container would always been
seen in the middle with the
loaves being arranged round it.
Agege bread when just baked is
super fluffy; even after a few
days, you would still enjoy the
delicious bread as you could
work the fluffiness back with
your hands unlike the sliced
bread that would start to break
after the first day. It is
sensational getting to buy this
bread and cutting it; the pulling
strength is seen then.
Lastly, Agege bread is delicious;
find below some of the things
you can eat your Agege bread
with:
1. Akara
So you are a one way person and
believe Akara can only be eaten
when taking pap, dey there o. If
you try eating your Agege bread
with hot Akara, we doubt if you
would want to try eating any
other food again.
This combination is divine and
would always turn you to Oliver
Twist. The bread gets a new
definition after this
combination as we are sure your
life would never remain the
same.
2. Tea
Eating your Agege bread while
drinking tea is good enough; but
please we hope you are not part
of the people that drown the
bread in hot tea. Dipping the
bread into the tea is simply evil
as you would never get the
taste of the delicious bread
that way. If the tea is iced tea
like the type they sell in Ilorin
markets, then you would enjoy
it.
3. Beans
Agege bread can be eaten with
beans; not just any type of
beans though, Ewa agonyin is
the perfect beans to eat your

adequately describe the taste
and we are sure you would feel
sleepy right after. It has a way
of relaxing the nerves.
When Agege bread is combined
with Ewa agonyin, the meal is
highly satisfactory. The beans
has its unique taste and same
goes for the Agege bread,
combining the two would give
you a unique taste you can never
get with each independently.

familiar with. They prefer
eating their Agege bread with
fried or scrambled eggs.
Depending on how creative you
are, the meal could become
extraordinary especially if you
can fry the eggs and make
everyone in the neighborhood
locate your house with the smell
the way an aboki would disturb
your olfactory lobes, then you
are in for a treat.
5. Coca-Cola
Please pay no attention to the
saying that bread and coke is
the perfect food for the
manual laborers. Bricklayers are
human beings too; stop this
discrimination and enjoy your
meal. Eating your Agege bread
with a bottle of coke would give
you another feeling, you can be
sure you would taste the feeling
when an Agege bread is in view.
6. Avocado

your Agege bread with avocado
or pear, you are seriously

can and your life would never
