There’s quite a few foods which more than one tribe eats as more or less indigenous food (Igbo and Yoruba shared foods in particular) but who’s willing to bet the ultimate origin of the following?

Jollof rice
Moi-moi (mai-mai, moin-moin)
Egusi soup
Akara

Puff-puff
Chin-chin
Nigerian buns
Fried rice

But igbo claiming egusi is sacrilege

[B]Op am also offended is it only yorubas and igbos that this food are common to[/B]if you can name the full teibes in nigeria then dont name any biko

Probz:


I didn’t say that but most of these foods tend to originate with either ndi Igbo or ndi Yoruba because we share the same root. Other tribes tend to have adapted these foods from one or the other.

MelesZenawi:



Op is just smoking kwale weed. The food is common to nearly all tribes.

Limiting to Igbos and Yoruba is an arrant nonsense. Igbos has no connection or root with Yorubas.

All these food spread due to movement and one Nigeria them project.

Surely he was he also had it in mind that the other tribes didnt invent any of theses food

Confam mugu


I would use my two balls to swear egusi is a bini soup and the idiot here is ascribing it to just two tribe ogun kill am therw

gregyboy:

This is the 2nd time I'm warning you that Ekiti and Ondo do not have Amala and ewedu as their original food.

If you don't know about something, why not keep shut?

MelesZenawi:


Your fathers and Yorubas share same root not ndigbo.

Ozu.

Probz:

Shut your stinking mouth.

gregyboy:



Wtf is wrong with you


Go and read books and stop saying nonsense

Benin never have any connections with ife stop that old lies to by awolowo and his western region

MelesZenawi:


I didn't quote you.

I quoted the other guy rather.

Is the guy from Benin?

gregyboy:



Ha no he is retarded igbo guy


He even called yorubas ndi- yorubas

Even the big tribes are still the other bigger tribe

MelesZenawi:


He is looking for unanimity where non is existing.

If there are relationships Igbos has many tribes they are surrounded with but not Yorubas.

Such myth or theory will never exist.

Probz:


I don’t know which side you’re from but I think you need to let go of this superiority attitude and learn that Igbo and Yoruba share foods and certain other cultural marks because we have the same ancestral root and the former have been influenced by Bini and Igala in certain parts of igboland.

You are talking Nonsense upon gibberish because nothing like that is existing in that your little history book.

Take your fake stories to illiterates who will buy them not sane minds.

Yorubas and Igbos have no common food...Ozu..You are the one trying to create such scenario because it never exist and still not existing.


You are too small and ill-educated to re-write history...who send you on such mischievous mission..?


Yorubas and Igbos has nothing like same ancestral. This is the greatest lie and another springing myth. Get on with other things and don't even think of fabricating any little technical paper full of lies. Culturally Igbos has no single cultural similarities with Yorubas let alone your fictitious ancestral.


Mr, I will advise you to chase this your pop corn dream with your great grand father's, grand father's and father's name or even your immediate community and leave ndigbo and other larger community out of your delusion.

If your mother is Yoruba...fine ...trace your root to them but don't come here to fabricate lies injurious to Ndigbo.

Ndi ala forming literate......Otondo.
