booqee: Agbalumo in yoruba. I think d nigerianised-english name for it is cherry. Chai back in those days, the skin was a very good source of chewing gum, while we(girls) also cracked d seed and used dat white stuff inside d seed as earrings.Hahahahahahaha, u just reminded me of those days of childhood innocence, yea our sisters and friends used it's seed for ear ring, lol. Kids of nowadays are not catching as much fun as we did years back. |

nagoma: Anya?? Nagoma ka tabbata kuwa? ni dai na san agwaluma muke kiransa a Kano. We call it Agwaluma in Hausa (at least in Kano). I believe it is borrowed from the Yoruba name for the fruit as we do not grow it locally. it is common knowledge that when a an ethnic group hasn't got something locally, their name for it is usually a corruption of the name it is called where they source it from. e.g. bicycle in Hausa = Keke (yoruba origin), Bucket (bokiti - Ebglish), etc |

Hon. Lord: This is definitely not the fruit refered to as FIG. Fig is called AJARA and the fruit ESO AJARA in Yoruba. The cherry that people call it is only true for Nigeria. Outside Nigeria, no English Speaker would tell you that is a cherry. We used to have a cherry tree in our garden here where I live. To know how fig or cherry fruits look like, make a search in google picture. |

The shaddock fruit looks more like a Citrus spp, and cherry definately isn't it. The generic name for the fruit is "Chrysophyllum" . and the African specie is Chrysophyllum africanum called "Star apples". So me sef dey wrong all these while. Thanks to wikipedia and google. I don learn new one today. Praise Jah. |
