Spice level warning — Ogbono Soup is not what I expected

I underestimated Ogbono Soup. The spicy and bold description didn't prepare me for the reality. crayfish powder brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

suya spiced meat skewers are eaten across West Africa but claim deep Nigerian roots. The a Lagos buka local restaurant setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. palm wine cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
