Ofcos I used dat pot back den wen we visit d village. Mama used 2 call it "Ite Onya" everybody drinks from it, as a matter of fact it was fun using it as kids cos we dnt see such in d city. Bt now its used 2 store palm oil cos dey av gallons nd refrigerator already. Oooh, reminds me of my Home nd ma grandparents, may dia souls rest in peace

Ikoko or traditional fridge.lol

That is my fridge when I was serving in Yobe state

bunmioguns: what do you call it in your native language?

Yoruba (Egba) call it Aamu (inside) or Ikoko (outside)



hope am correct?

Always cold......
The bigger one with a small opening is called amu while d small one with a wide opening is called isasun.

If you always drink from that, nothing like typhoid. Take it or leave it.

You missed it. Isasun is cooking pot.

I remember back den wen dad nd granny were still alive, dey make us fetch water frm iyi and pour into d ite mmiri dia was no fridge in d hux den so each tym we visit villa it happens to b d holy source of cold water and we love it. D pot is stilk dia in d villa bt has nt been used fr long. I tink I will put it into use dis Christmas

Kai, my NYSC days in Gummi Zamfara State.
It was a staple in the corpers lodge.

Shakwun

Its old sch refrigerator...i drank frm it... In d villa many yrs back n its always cold

Lagusta: Its only once i drank from that pot..... While i was doing my COBES in UNILORIN...

The water was always sweet, cold and refreshing!!!

'The water was always sweet,cold and refreshing' but u only drank once from it.

Hahaahahaha. It was our deep freezer back then in JSS3 but unfortunately the girls in my class supported it with sand they got from where male goats were kept and the class couldn't stop smelling. Aside that, the water was refreshing.

Oh yeah! I did!. As a corper in Bama, borno state. This wonderful piece of art and local science was our source of cool drinking water in a land of intense heat and extremely poor power supply.

author=jennykadry]My maternal grandma made me drink from that whenever I
visited her in the village and shocking the water was always so cold
and annoyingly refreshing.....ewwww. Mama loved her life in the village
this woman was a so no nonsense kind, like her daughter my mother.

My paternal grandma lives in my fathers house in the village so she got
used to civilization very quickly seeing that we spent more time
there....so nope she served us bottled water this grandma is so sweet
and kind like her son my father. [/quote]
pls who ask u all this??

It is called Abang in Akwa Ibom. My maternal grandmother has one but no longer uses it.

All these people that are passing 'BlaMe' on their grandma,na water dispenser 4 their house o. God is watching











































Meanwhile, I'v never drank 4m it

I drank from the pot when I went to visit my Grandma in the village. The water from that pot is always cold. The funniest thing is that a cup is always placed ontop the pot. I am missing my grandma, just can't wait to pass out October so I can go and visit them in the village.

Its Physics really. Clay pot has tiny open pores.
It is also a bad conductor of heat.
The tiny pores helps in releasing heat to the surrounding .
When evaporation takes place,cooling occurs. #Science students understand better.
Don't fear your grandma. Fear physics.

I drank from this one when I lived with my Grandmother in Ijebu for about a year and previously when we visited as a child.

I'm certain that if tested that there would be organisms growing in it but we survived.

If u hv drank frm dat pot say I if you hv not say nil the I serves it.

so you didnt see anything inside?

like mosquito larvae, etc?

you are indeed of the city.

DickDastardly: Whats that? Some fettish pot? I only take chilled boddle warrer

Abi o! Aje burrer

We need to understand the physics behind the cooled water from the water pot. Water sips through the body of the pot and then evaporates as it gains energy while the water inside looses energy and invariably cools. So interesting how our fore fathers enjoyed their lives by application of simple science.

see all these kpako peeps in nl oo




I've never drank from that only seen them in nollywood movies
100% ajeh butter: P

Wow!

Can't forget drinking from this during my last visit to my grandparents' village some years back.

Aamu is naturally made refrigerator.

It's economical, affordable, durable and no power failure - Cold Water Availability of 24/7 GUARANTEED.


Mehn, I missed those days.


GrandPa & GrandMa Rest In Peace @ the bosom of the Jesus Christ, till we meet to path no more.

Frankly I never looked and I have no memory of it being ever washed (it might have been but I wasn't aware of it).

All I know is no one died and all the Grandchild are alive and well.

City.NG is my business website. I am just but a humble village boy.

you're not village if you have to wait for testing before you know of anything in the water.

anyway, hope our water supplies are safe?

everyone claiming their grandma had one..
what happened to the grand pa(s)

Lagusta: Its only once i drank from that pot..... While i was doing my COBES in UNILORIN...

The water was always sweet, cold and refreshing!!!

u drank once and the water is ALWAYS cold? Guy how many times u drink water from that pot?#confession time#

Kizmarty: everyone claiming their grandma had one..
what happened to the grand pa(s)

grandpas drank from the tap.

Chibokgame:


what a great poem !
But you did not answer the question.
What do you call it in you dialects

The reason why many Nigerians are intellectually 'deficit'. Have YOU answered the question?

itstpia1: you're not village if you have to wait for testing before you know of anything in the water.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to project your assumption on my reality. I am a village boy.

Where are you coming up with these "testing"?

I said I never looked in the pot and just drank like everybody else.
