Girl360:I won't appreciate unnecessary mentions from her. Next time, she should read my signature. I've been bullied by Ghanaians and I'm not taking it anymore. I'm a Ghanaian same with my parents, born in Ghana. So I won't be taking nonsense at least you're another Ghanaian I've met off nl. 2 Likes |

What a shame! Thread hijackers have turned this thread from which one can learn about other cultures to a theatre of war. When shall we outgrow tribal sentiments and foolishness in this country? When non-Nigerians attack us, we altogether defend our country but afterwards, we descend on one another with stupid ethnicity and bigotry. I'm afraid for this country. The hate we spill daily is enormous enough to bring down this country. What a pity! 8 Likes 3 Shares |

czarina: In all honesty, Okpa looks like shit for Non-Nigerian that hasn't seen moimoi before. But unlike moimoi that has shapes like round, triangle or rectangle to it, okpa is mostly shapeless semi-solid food packed in a nylon bag (or leather as Igbos like to call it). But that doesn't mean it's not a delicacy. Yours truly ate alot of Okpa and Igbagbu oka during my youth service in Enugu. Whatever particular people decide to eat shouldn't be headache for outsiders the way Amala and Ewedu is big headache for many Igbos 4 Likes 1 Share |

Iseoluwani: I served in Kaduna but it was in a Christian village. My students don't smoke though some take tramadol. I also faced that love letter ish and there's the eyeing. The girls would just keep giving you eyes. Then, for parties, they use kunu and moi moi. They also believe in charms too even though I've never seen one use charm. I believe you served in a village/town of one of Nigeria's minority tribes. |

1Sharon: If you Igbo or not, it doesn't stop the fact that what a particular tribe decide to eat shouldn't be an object of disgust to another tribe, and if the sight of the food irritates you, keep it to yourself and stop saying to the tribe in question that their food is disgusting in every freaking discussion because surely there is something disgusting about your own food to other tribe. 5 Likes 1 Share |
