Lovely. I should have one plate.

Good job my friend. Am not a yoruba lady but I make ewedu a lot. My family loves it and I make it well too.

I would also want to chip in that you can always reference your work as it is a way of honouring the main author of the work that is why @cheetah commented so that it can be taken note of my friend.

As for me I enjoyed the tutorial and love ewedu too!🤗🤗

Well noted. Thanks.

WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE ONE PLATE OF EWEDU SOUP

INFORMATION NIGERIA put together 9 amazing health benefits of ewedu soup.

I think she referenced her source by the name "INFORMATION NIGERIA" as well as the embedded link behind the source name, else @cheetah would have downvoted her and warned against plagiarism. @cheetah only revealed the link behind INFORMATION NIGERIA.

She also put on quote the sections of her post that weren't her intellectual property.

On a lighter note, It is obvious @cheetah likes the post (upvoted) and cares for a plate of ewedu soup...lol

Nice post @prettyrose

Well I only did called her attention and did not indict her. Cheetah is only a bot. Lighter mood or not am glad she took note too dear.

Getting to ref under the post clearly will help her but this way am afraid. Well cheetah is a friendly bot and is only after the good of every steemian.

Good thing cheetah upvoted too. I love ewedu and like you said cheetah might care for a plate. Nice one @prettyrose.
