As an Owerri Man we forbid "Ona yam" The food is better known as the bitter yam (dioscorea dumetorum) which belongs to the genus dioscorea and family dioscoreacae. Yoruba call it Esuru while the Hausa call it Kosangoro. This is yam specie of choice in the Igala speaking part of Kogi State.it is believed in Owerri that calamities befall whoever eats this specie of yam. Ona is one of the plants used to appease the gods when there was famine and drought in the ancient times, hence, it was considered sacred to eat the yam 1 Like |
