Recessed & Can Light Insulation

Can light insulation/ recessed lighting insulation is becoming a must-have for homeowners because they add personality to rooms and the results are very adaptable. The traditional light hangs down from the ceiling, but with an insulated can light, they are installed in an opening in the ceiling/wall, leaving only a fraction of the bulb exposed. Simply put, it appears like the light is shining through a hole in the ceiling, and the results can either be a spotlight, task light or overall luminance.

Enjoying Ofada rice with palm oil

Ofada rice refers to locally made rice. Before the Buhari-led administration banned rice importation, most Nigerians preferred to enjoy imported rice or, in typical Nigerian words, "foreign rice." Nigerian-made rice earned the bad market, if I have to be honest. The finished product was not well presented; I'm talking about chaff, stones and bad grains. Nigerian jollof rice with goat meat served on a white plate with cutleries. With more than a few rice mills scattered around Nigeria and the fierce competition among rice producers, ofada rice has become a household staple.We are sharing an authentic way of enjoying our Nigerian rice.
