That's why they're hated everywhere. See the way people were happy as their shops were demolished in computer village. Everywhere they go, they will invite HATRED on themselves and they cant stay in their potopoto republic. Go to Ghana, South Africa even Pakistan and see the way they hate them. The issue I have is that some countries are MIXING THEM UP with other parts of Nigeria.

That Ekuru is what I need right now . E dey hungry me here

yinkeys:

You know what’s funny with all these tribalistic people
Even white people will see their food and call it disgusting
People should just embrace tolerance or stay in their lane rather than spewing jealousy or looking down on other peoples culture
There are other things they eat people from other cultures would find disgusting
Different people with different taste buds
The most tolerant people are the most progressive
It just baffles me how people come online with limited knowledge to start bashing other cultures
Strange

There is nothing like Amala dudu. It is Amala..


And nothing like Amala Funfun . It is LAFUN......

Odidigboigbo:
That their pepper, hmm; they always stool because of pepper. Imagine someone that want to cook stew, she will buy tomatoes #200 and Cherry pepper and Ataorodo #800.

Shikena:
Yes, those are Yoruba food but who 'invented' what is what may be open to debate.
Those food types are common among Yoruba descendants in Brazil (Salvador) and the ones along West African coastline.

Iyan with isapa/egusi soup is common among Ekiti and ijesa, lgbomina
Amala with ewedu and gbegiri, called abula , ogi and moin- moin- or akara are popular among Ibadan, Ogbomosho, Oyo Yoruba generally

Ebiripo, ikokore, eba with egusi-ijebu are favorite food among ijebu people

Pupuru is a delicious food among ilaje people.

Amala lafun with gure oloboro is enjoyed by Abeokuta/ Egba people

Egbo, Ewa adalu are common among Yoruba Ilorin.

Eko ati ekuru is enjoyed by my people from osogbo/Osun.

Abeg stop this yoruba descendants in Brazil mata. It is the other way around "Brazil descendants in the sw".

As a matter of long mathematics, many slaves to brazil were from the east of Nigeria. But when the Brazilians were escaping Brazil for decades, most of them went to Lagos, and then most of them spread throughout the sw. Most of the SE, cross Rivers, and akwa ibom
were fighting wars for hundreds of years - first against the arabs, against the Portuguese, then against the British (which ended in 1902); and mind you we also had internal wars between some igbos and tribes in akwa ibom and cross Rivers. So, the Brazilians that came back couldn't go to the east. Matter of fact, most blacks in Brazil are having african gene result traced back to east, akwa ibom and cross Rivers. Of course, Angola, Congo, and other west African countries. Yes, some, a few were yorubas.

Brazil is appreciative of yoruba for taking them in. The truth is, the colonial masters in Africa preferred the Brazilian escapees to be their help and help ease the locals. It worked. At least 5 million or more yorubas today, were Brazilian descents. Now though, they have mixed with core yorubas and even other tribes in Nigeria.

As for the food, if you say so. I respect your opinion.

Brazil’s minister of culture has announced that Yoruba will become one of their official languages and African history will be added school curriculum.

Brazil has accumulated quite a number of Yoruba speakers and Orisha worshippers.

The African slaves from the west, carried along their Yoruba religion with them when they were brought to Brazil. This religion is referred to as Candomblé by Afro-Brazilians — a religion that seeks harmony with nature. This culture and religion is still very much relevant and gave birth to the Òrìsà-worshipping and Yoruba-speaking people of Brazil.

Last week at AYO, after a national meeting of African-Brazilian storytellers, It was alleged that the Brazilian minister of culture, Dr Sérgio Sá leitão announced that Yoruba is now one of their official languages and language and African History will be introduced as a compulsory subject in primary and secondary schools curriculum. However, the Brazilian Ministry of Culture has denied this and will keep us updated on further changes.
In attendance of this meeting, in Quilombola, were big names such as renowned Professor Wole Soyinka, Dr. Sophie Oluwole, the first female PhD holder in Yoruba Philosophy, and painter and illustrator Adeyinka Olaiya.
If this move is made, it will do well in bringing Afro-Brazilians closer to their roots and help them better understand the link between the current Brazilian practices and Western Yoruba cultures.

Egusi soup is never yoruba

moi moi and akara are not autochthonous to the Yorubas, it's a food belonging to all Southern Nigerians. When you eat Moimoi and akara prepared by an igbo person you won't say this again.

I add milk and egg to my grated water yam whenever I want to fry ojojo. You can try it too.

Raskimonojendor:

Somehow the culture and tradition of the eastern Nigeria disappeared the moment they landed in Brazil. Lol.

It is not southern Nigerian. You adopted it !!! Nothing wrong with that.
