Your reasons are not the major reasons. It was the war. The biafran Civil War Necessity is the mother of invention, they had to innovate to survive. I can imagine how many died from trials. And unfortunately some had to eat human flesh to survive, hence the persistence of cannibalism in igbo land and parts of the south blockaded as biafra (for example Akwa Ibom etc) |

Yankee101: You’re yarning horseshit...inspired by crass stupidity, bigotry and hate! Who told you there’s ‘cannibalism’ in Igboland!? Why do you persist in trying to give oxygen to this nairaland lie!? What’s your own ethnicity? 2 Likes |

Yankee101: Not at all. As we established before, Igbo cuisine is renowned for it's elaborate and flavor-heavy dishes. The targeted genocide against the Biafran state by Nigeria, like every other conflict in history, destroyed a lot of Igbo culinary traditions and ensured that many recipes were lost as surviving communities had to make do under Nigeria's British-backed starvation policies. It's telling that what remained of Igbo cuisine after that barbaric onslaught is still lauded so highly. |

Michelle70: Banga soup is actually Igbo. We call it ofe akwu traditionally. Traditional names help to confirm the origins of cuisines. Maybe Niger Delta people also have their own variety of ofe akwu. But it must have a full local name to enhance the claim 3 Likes |

OfoIgbo:its originally a Niger delta food |
Re: This Explains Clearly Why Igbo Food Has So Much Variety by MosheDayan: 7:25am On Feb 12, 2022 |
Michelle70:it is not. We have ours which is Ofe Akwu. It's just like saying rice is originally from the North because the Northerners plant it. |

MosheDayan:do u understand the meaning of "originally?" Lemme say it originated first from the Niger delta, though u guys have ur own variety of it which i dont deny. |

DCatt: I posted that and there’s nothing Yoruba about that food. Adalu is a mix of beans and corn. That’s not adalu. It’s a mix of ukwa and oka breadfruit and corn while adalu is mix of beans and corn. First photo is adalu while the second is ukwa na oka…Orumba people call it Ahuoka. 2 Likes
