treatise:

I thought OP wanted to argue from the standpoint of nutrition, no need for arguments here.

From the nutritional point of view, bambala nut has more health value that beans.

Okpa aroma/smells alone is a turn of for me, while moi-moi aroma invites from afar... Like you don't know moi-moi comes in different classes of your income. Have you tasted fried moi-moi with accompanying various proteins before...?

Nairaland bandits at it again; continue. Then come back and insult somebody calling you 'lazy youths '

KosiGee:


Enugu okpa is good and tasty but have you been to Ekwulobia??

Go to Ekwulobia park or Eke Ekwulobia and eat Ntucha aka okpa aka Okpa ntucha.

Thank you.okpa ekwulobia is classic. Enugu okpa has nothing on it. That was what introduced me to okpa. Moimoi ekwulobia is also unique.

Okpa ekwulobia has loads of crayfish and is made with palm concentrate unlike Enugu okpa though, Enugu okpa( notably obeleafor people, don't know if I got it right) are the real face behind Enugu state okpa. Their red oil is the best in Nigeria. There is a reason why their red oil is the best. That's a story for another day.

Kai oga, I used to hear this alot, my friend travelled home to Enugu on his way back I kept reminding him not to forget my nsukka okpa cos he also used to hype it. I won't say it tastes bad, but just overrated, like someone up there said it's like comparing CR7 to Sancho.

Well compared to okpa you'll eat somewhere else, Enugu okpa is way up there.

AbokiWam:
I A thread hit front page few days ago and I saw people critizing Okpa saying it is tasteless

maybe you bought from someone who is still a learner

Okpa over moi moi 100 times..

Moi moi especially the one that isn't hot makes me sick.


why would anyone say Okpa is tasteless..

such person should check his taste bud asap

Both are made from different ingredients and taste different. I don't see any point in comparison.
I love both dearly, but hot moi moi? It purges me.

illicit:


I have been to Port Harcourt from Abuja

In every ibo city wẹ arrive at, I ate Okpa including Enugu, even the leaf one

It's tasteless, bland

✌️

Interestingly, I eat okpa because of that taste.

Ukpa dey learn😂😂 moi moi lost am no cap

PotatoSalad:
If you want to enjoy okpa, go to Udi, Enugu state.

yea. 9th mile okpa is the best

Okpa can easily be downplayed in favor of moimoi cos not everyone knows how to prepare it and it's also not as popular as moimoi.

Before making comparison, be sure to to have tasted that 9th mile ngwo corner okpa.

Rhado:

Any ọkpa that was made with all those ingredients you mentioned no be okpa again.
Red oil, salt and pepper are the only ingredients for preparing okpa. Reason you need to eat one prepared by one who really knows how to make it.
Some people add crayfish and onions to okpa even here in Enugu and that’s rubbish

onitsha people add leaves and egg to their okpa sef

illicit:


Them no dey put seasoning for that okpa

Only salt

Who does that?

🥵

no bone in okpa. U may be referring to agidi jollof which they prepare with biscuit bone

Jangbajantis:
For good taste and aroma, give it to moi-moi.

For cure to hunger, okpansukkaisbae.

Moin Moin has gone international. Okpa still dey do local champion for village...
Oyinbos don begin dey can moin moon...

thatigboman:
onitsha people add leaves and egg to their okpa sef

Vegetable in some is okay, but that egg na show off. It doesn’t mean the okpa is nice.

Okpa all the way mehn...I ate one at nsukka..mehn very sumptuous

Okpa of nowadays is something else. I would say that moi moi is better because okpa is no longer what it used to be.

First time I tested okpa was the last time since then. That thing has no taste at all. Moinmoin all the way.....😁😁😁

First few times image Okpa i didn't like it but after a while I got used to it.
Okpa are the kinds of food that you fall in love after a while ..it's hardly love at first sight because Okpa's taste is not garnished with ingredients like moi moi...


Without maggi, onions, palm oil and fish Moi moi will be totally tasteless unlike Okpa that is only has a bit of palm oil added to it and salt to taste.

Okpa is way more nutrional and healthier than moi moi....The Bambara not from which Okpa is made is considered the most complete food in the world.

Okpa is great for weightloss and also helps the gut health.

As a health enthusiast I will go for Okpa of course moi moi is also a healthy legume but Okpa all the way

Anything and everything from Okoro jungle na FAKE! All they do is try to copy Yoruba, their master!

Tommymoses:
Like for okpa
Share for moimoi

Moi Moi still dey lead
Okpa dey far far behind

dominique:
Moimoi is more flavourful than okpa especially the ones made in leaves. The only thing okpa has over moimoi is that it holds the stomach for much longer

Why would anyone in his or her sane mind compares okpa to Moimoi… who does that? Okpa is an aspiring Moimoi that dropped out in primary school na.

Okpa is tasteless....tried it once , in the late 90's .....And I regretted eating it.....

Compare that tasteless Okpa with Moin moin is like comparing Sleep and death.

1. Moin moin elede
2. Moin moin eleyin
3. Moin moin eleja ( especially with smoked Mackerel) or with dried herring ( eja shawa)
4. Moin moin elepo
5. Moin moin olororo
6. Baked sardine moin moin

tosyne2much:
Okpa is overrated

The first and second time I ate Okpa, I shook my head

Maybe na the cooker no sabi cook am well sha

The smell is something else......I spit

worldclass68:
With that horrible smell

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


I think say na only me.....the smell is horrible

Hmmmm, before one can conclude, one should look at the nutritional value both can offer to the body, not just saying Okpa is better than moimoi.

As someone who loves both delicacies, here are the facts as I know:

1. Moin moin is tastier.
2. Okpa, once you fall in love with it, there is no going back.
3. Preparation of Okpa is far more complicated compared to Moin moin.

I have had Okpa bought for me all the way from Enugu/Anambra to Lagos etc, but I can’t consider doing same for Moin moin (maybe because the latter is more readily available).

No need for comparison, just enjoy both.

Waffarianman:
We can get moimoi, Akara, beans borage and agoyi from beans... What can we get from Okpa apart from Okpa

you will get OKPARA...

Moi moi all the way...i do eat okpa the one with vegetables..but a well prepared moi moi gives me more joy

emmy512:
There's a reason I don't use the word okpa,

I say enugu okpa, ikom okpa , if it's not done properly by an igbo woman I don't eat it,

Okpa is wonderful and yeah compared to moi moi I love it.

But nit everyone can prepare okpa or is qualified to.
Anyone who says it's bland has not had the opportunity to eat enugu okpa,

When I first ate okpa in CBQ it was the last time

Now see the unnecessary complexity in your preparation of Okpa abi na OKPARA you won call am. MoiMoi or Oolele or Ole(do/do) is a straigthword but Highly Delicious Food especially if you Bombard it with Big Big Onions and use red oil (epo Pupa) and leaf to do the wrapping.

Woo, Stick with your OKPARA, tongue different.

Nsukka okpa saved my life in UNN then prior to graduation. There is this set of people that sells OKpa around Abuja building side/ the road that leads to Abuja building. Once I eat OKpa and coke, I am fit for the day hectic study.
