In this process I am going to explain bit by bit how you can on your own successful make Egusi soup without having any issues or problems, only if you can follow directions and instructions given on this content. I will be listing all the ingredients needs to prepare this soup including the chicken as well.

After which remove it from the hot water and made away the water. Remove the entire feather of the chicken to your teste, cut the chicken and remove the stomach.. See images below for clarfication.
Step 3. Slice or cut the chicken to your preferable sizes, this depends on how many people are in the family or how you wishes to cut it. Place it on a kitchen table cut it into required pieces you want it, wash it for like 3 times or until you do not feel any sand or see any dirt on the body.

CONCLUSION: Having to join this contest is a joy and fun because there is unity in our local board and I think others should emulate it and make their local board a lovable place. Nigerians especial those in the forum here are always united and also being their brother keeper, for a community to grow fast and quickly is to be in Unity, and share common Knowledge together, helping those who are not knowing their beginning and their start up points, all this attributes to the fast growth of Nigerian local board. Lastly I would want those who are speaking against Nigerians to reduce and refrain from their hate speeches, forum is a place for sharing Ideals and knowledge, the ultimate goal is to preach and talks about bitcoin and its progress and not a place to talk against each countries.
Special thanks to Theymos for the sponsorship, and also to Mia Chloe, the organizer for your effortless dream and love in bringing smiles and putting together everyone in this our local board, and I say your creator reward you all greatly.
