Food Commentary in Nigeria - Critic, Reviewer or Blogger?

This week, we bring you a topic very close to our hearts..To Blog or Critique.

We take a very constructive look into the current industry by strategically dissecting what it takes to be a credible food critic and a respected food blogger.

For too long, there has been a lack of intentionality or care behind what people call themselves. We want to make these two positions clear by answering the necessary questions.

What are the similarities and differences? What is it that causes people to confuse the two? And is it even possible for both to be blended into one? We have decided it's time for this discussion to be had by the people you can trust!
