Recently it's become such a huge thing talked about especially on the internet, that it is now somewhat established that the Yorubas eat the most pepper, far more than all the other Nigerian tribes.
If we are being honest, is this actually true?
I've been in different parts in Nigeria, and Every major tribes in Nigeria eat pepper a lot, all over Southern Nigeria at least.

Where and how did all of this come about?? Cos I don't think it's true at all, not by a wide margin Atleast
One of the numerous, weird lies on the Nigerian internet space...?

Wait... Is pepper a bad thing? Why are u makig it sound like a derogatory thing to eat pepper

I am a Yoruba lady, and I don't mix or eat anything perish.
Whatever I will put in my mouth and can't make me to chew in peace aside hot meals, it's a NO NO FOR ME.

And yes, I'm kind of offended when people say Yorubas eat pepper alot

I learn how to eat peppery food in Lagos. So I give it to them.

Stereotype.


Same way they said all Calabar girls can knack, that's a big fat lie.....I have confirmed it.

I've wasted my time replying you
I just realised you are one of the resident, Jobless, evil Trolls here On Nairaland. Your history is from one section to another fighting people... How Sad!

A simple topic, is it actually true that Yorubas eat More pepper, cos I don't think so (being of Yoruba & Niger-delta heritage) , having eaten in all major parts of the country too,
now see what you have descended it to...??
depressing, sad and Pathetic!

Emi ti o je Ata , emi yepere ni......

As a Yoruba man , any food without a hot kick. I won't eat it. Because I might throw up.

To answer your question, as far as I am concern, and from my findings , the Yorubas eat more pepper than other tribes in Nigeria.
