Igbo fans of Uriel Ngozika Oputa popularly known as Uriel have come down hard on her for using onion and seasoning cubes to cook breadfruit (Ukwa in Igbo).

Uriel who was one of the housemates on the Big Brother Naija Show 2017, took to her Instagram account to showcase her ingredients while about cooking Ukwa.

The former BBNaija housemate in a picture shared on her Instagram account said,

I put Onions in mine..(creative) What’s Uriel cooking?….
What’s the Name in your dialect?
Cooking is all about being creative

Uriel who contested for the N25 million as of last year has spent over 20 years of her early life in England before relocating back to Nigeria to pursue a career in music.

It is alleged that Davido’s chef Chioma has made Uriel start her cooking show but her Igbo fans on Instagram have seriously questioned why she used onion and seasoning cubes to cook breadfruit (Ukwa in Igbo).
