Slytiger:That one small. What about one stupid article I came across that a suppose learned professor from one south eastern university in one ibo state wrote about the name ibibio originate from the word ibo and that the ibibios descended from the igbos. And he also said akwa ibom is actually akwa ibo not ibom. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Tdotbluejays1: YOU POSTED THAT AND SHOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT. ELILI IS A GENERAL IGBO WORD THAT MEANS EATING, THE IGBOS HERE CAN TESTIFY. ELILI COULD REFER TO THE MELON FRUIT ITSELF. HOWEVER, THE SEED IS EGWUSI/EGUSI. BOTH WORDS ARE EVEN SIMILAR AND END WITH I AND START WITH E. IT SHOWS THEY ARE FROM SAME LANGUAGE. |

Aragon001:We don't have to run away from the name because it didn't originate from them. History of the crop and scientific studies on it do not give it to them. The crop belongs to West Africa with different names but egusi as a name is local to us. I have not said they don't have it too but we didn't borrow it from them. It's one of the ancient crops in Yoruba land and in many other parts of West Africa. 3 Likes |

ReacherSaidNoth: ProphetMohemmad: Lol. It's the manipulation and misappropriation of facts I don't even like. Same way how some of the Igbos keep playing the victim over the civil war but forgot they were the wicked ones who started the whole thing in the first place by killing other regional leaders except the Igbos while they destroyed Nigeria's true Federalism. Not only just that, they wanted to steal other people's territories which weren't theirs after they asked for secession because the North retaliated the killing of their leaders in North by killing every Igbos in the North. Thus the Igbo asked for secession however in their evilness, they wanted to steal other people's territory heritage in addition. That was when the Yoruba joined the war because Yoruba territory was involved in the nonsense. Basically, their wicked nature made them kill other people's leaders while they destroyed Nigeria's true Federalism. Secondly, in their covetousness, they wanted to steal other people's heritage. So why play the victim when you're the evil one to begin with? On the second post, of course ewedu is a delicious lovely soup as seen below. Aside it's delicacy, it's medicinal. On egusi, egusi is a Yoruba soup as its name implies, which is Yoruba name. "Egun si" in Yoruba means to Shred to add. It's an Orunmila's soup as a matter of fact. Igbo don't have much soup to begin with. They were found eating Human flesh and leaves at the time they were found in the forest, thus, food varieties were introduced to them. Most of Igbo few soup today was got from several tribes. Egusi was got from the Yorubas, even as the names implies. As a matter of fact, it's an Orunmila's soup. Also, Apon seeds don't grow in the southeast but rather in the rainforest. No where they could have seen Apon seeds to make ogbon lo. Apon seeds was introduced to them but they couldn't pronounce it, thus pronounced it as ogbon which has no meaning in Igbo language as a matter of fact. "lo" was added which probably means slimy in Igbo language, although it means "to grind" in Yoruba language.. Thus Apon was meant to be grinded "lo", which was later pronounced as ogbon lo by the Igbos. Igbo also copied some soups from SS. That's all. All these were introduced to the Igbos in a bid to civilise the Igbo who were found eating Human flesh. In fact, Ajayi Crowther was part of those who introduced these foods to the Igbos. Naturally, that's Yoruba culture. People who are sick/unwell are first given varieties of food to eat in Yoruba culture. That's the first treatment administered by IFA. And that was exactly what Ajayi Crowther (who's a core Oyo) did for the Igbos at the time, in a bid to stop the cannibal Igbos from eating Human flesh. Igbo got egusi, Apon, Iyan, fufu, Garri, eba etc from the Yorubas. All the names are in Yoruba names. 5 Likes

Alexis11: LOOK, GOOGLE WILL TELL YOU EGWUSI ORIGINATED FROM THE IGBOS. WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT EAT THE SEED OF FRUITS. YORUBA HAVE NO HISTORY OF DOING SO. U HAVE NO OTHER SOUP AS EGWUSI(MELON SEED), U CANNOT EVEN COOK IT TODAY. OGBONO IS MANGO SEED. |

Makunahatata: Everyone eats rice in Nigeria, but we all know rice is not indigenous to Nigeria. It's easy to identify Yoruba people on this forum. Just post any threat about Igbos and you can rest assured that 90% of all bitter comments would be posted by Youruba sons and daughters. Blind hatred abhors sound judgement. Tufiakwa! 1 Like |

LUGARD PUTTING YORUBA TO SHARE COUNTRY WITH IGBOS IS TO BENEFIT BOTH THEM AND HAUSA. THESE TWO GROUPS HAVE NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND EAT POORLY TOO. INSTEAD OF THEM TO BE GRATEFUL, THEY ARE NOW CLAIMING TO HAVE IT ALL. IMAGINE YORUBA CLAIMING EGWUSI SOUP. IS THAT NOT VERY FUNNY? |
Re: Igbo Soups All Nigerian Tribes Enjoy by OblorOblor: 8:23pm On Apr 01 |
If you have a problem with the post, list the soups from your own tribe that is generally accepted. The tribe that was chased out from heaven can by no means lay claim to the Egusi we have been eating on earth before their plunge. |
Re: Igbo Soups All Nigerian Tribes Enjoy by DIVINEEVIDENCE: 8:24pm On Apr 01 |
Slytiger: How could the Igbos have sustained themselves on human flesh? Is it that easy and sustainable for a whole tribe to be eating only humans and leaves as a staple food? Whatever happened to hunting, fruit gathering and cultivation? Are you Yoruba? Because I'll be surprised to find out you're not. Always be sure your brain is well connected to your buccal cavity before spewing inanities on social media. Ewu π |

THE COOKING STYLE EFOR EGWUSI AND OGBONO IS IDENTICAL. COMPLETELY DIFFERNT FROM HOW YOU COOK EWEDU AND GBEGIRI. WE WILL ROLL OUT EVIDENCE AFTER EVIDENCE. FIRST, YORUBA DONT EAT SEEDS OF FRUIT. SECOND THE COOKING STYLLE IS NOT THE WAY YORUBA COOKTHEIR TRADITIONA SOUP. |
Re: Igbo Soups All Nigerian Tribes Enjoy by Konquest: 8:25pm On Apr 01 |
DIVINEEVIDENCE:Egunsi soup with eran ogunfe is widely eaten among the Yoruba folks... and the Ekiti, Ondo, and Osun States areas have highly nutritious soups from well-documented evidence. There are more than 20 types of soups in all parts of Yorubaland and there are threads here on Nairaland and other online platforms such as YouTube that list all of them. Yoruba culture is NOT monolithic but varies from region to region in terms of regional foods preparations. So, it is wrong of you to label or try to stereotype the Yoruba folks of over 50 million people with only one soup called ewedu when there are over 20 types of rich soups among the different regions of Yorubaland stretching from the Kogi and Kwara States axis to the 6 states of the West of Nigeria, to Yorubaland in Benin Republic and Togo, etc). For your information, ewedu and gbegiri is used as quick preparation "snack" soups among the Oyo folks but they have other types of soups as well that cost even more to make with exotic seasonal ingredients. Ewedu or jute leaf soups are also indigenous and widely eaten in other countries especially in West Africa. 3 Likes 1 Share |
