Randa is still visible in northern markets, in shops. Anyone could drink from it, irrespective of whether you know the owner or not. For me, I have never serviced myself from that market randa.

messiah: randa(?) in hausa undecided

Never drank from that but I have seen it mounted at strategic positions in people 's houses in the Villa. Didn't meet my paternal grandma and my maternal grandma was an Aje, so no one offered me the supposedly refreshing clay pot water.

That is our lovely Akhe (Esan name for it). We have it in Lagos here. Though we have our freezer and fridges but we still drink from this always.

Cool and refreshing always....may it never die.

princefunmi:

My Grandma's Ikoko when she used to live in Tabon Tabon Agege. Oh boy, I always looked forward to drinking water out of that Ikoko. No matter how stressed up you are, or how hot and tired you are, all it takes is a drink of water that has stood in that Ikoko for some time. Meeeeeeenn that was heaven.

awon ti tabon tabon agege, gbogbo aina akera nko, akinleye, amoo, olurinde, ayige.....eku atijo. The whole of Orile Agege to AP was my thumping ground....The ghetto of the ghettos.

Gboliwe: the pot is for everybody. Family, friends and passerby. Everybody drank from it and with one cup too. The thought of it now makes me want to throw up. Ewwwwww

Ahh! The cup is meant for taking water from the pot ONLY. My hyper-meticulous grandma will shout your head off if your hand touches anywhere else but the cup handle let alone drinking from it.
She bought aluminum cups for each of us and inspects them every now and then
Re: How Many Of You Ever Drank Water From This? by mashaun(m): 11:25am On Aug 28, 2014
the cup is called "ikeemu" while the pot itself is called "Amu" in Oyo.
I grew up drinking water from this pot while living with my grandma.
such an experience...

Please tell us your research because I know the research must have been by a Nigerian or African. Tell us why it's better than my deep freezer
