OYIBO DEY CALL AM ALLERGIC REACTION [quote author=Freemanan post=38834966][b]It was 6 o’clock on a weekend evening. New York City in the U.S. was getting set for the night life as guests of Nigerian extraction, decked in flamboyant African traditional attires, started trooping into the residence of late Ambassador Edwin Ogbu for a dinner party. The calibre of dignitaries in attendance easily indicated the importance of the party. There were varieties of food for the guests and everyone had their fill, and left satisfied, except Chief Patrick Nwamu, the Odogwu of Asaba and multi-millionaire businessman. The dinner left him with a swollen mouth accompanied with excruciating pains which he suffered for two days before he realised too late that he had offended Onishe Ahaba, the mother goddess of Asaba, Delta State his native land. The goddess is most times simply known as Onishe. Chief Nwamu narrates his experience: “At the party, I had okra soup. Unknown to me, it was blended with ogbono. The next day, I had a swollen mouth with severe pains. Upon investigation, I was told by the Ambassador’s wife who is a Yoruba lady that the soup I ate at the party was mixed with ogbono. It was then I knew where my problem came from. It is a taboo for Asaba natives to eat ogbono soup because our mother goddess, Onishe uses it for spiritual purification which in local parlance is known as ife-ahu.” Chief Nwamu reveals: “Onishe once appeared to my brother’s wife in Asaba. My brother came home to take the Alor traditional title. Though, before their departure from the city, my brother had warned his wife not to cook ogbono soup because it is forbidden in his place, she had refused to heed the advice. It was while she was dishing the food upstairs for the husband that our mother, Onishe appeared to her with a warning for her not to ever prepare ogbono soup for her son (her husband) again, and that she should take the soup to their non-Asaba neighbours downstairs. Immediately after, she disappeared. The woman ran to her husband to relay her experience and everybody present was taken aback.” However, it is believed that those who see Onishe as mere absence of reality suffer consequences when they act in any way contradictory to what she stands for. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/onishe-ahaba-why-asaba-people-forbid-ogbono-soup/ |

,According to that logic ,Since God created bats,vultures and cockroaches we should eat them? Fact is there are many people alive today who will die,I repeat die if they eat groundnuts or eggs. That is their personal constitution or "taboo" food if one chooses to explain it with deities. SO spare us the Genesis argument |

Proudly Asaba... Asaba Amaka. The Onishe deity thing and Ogbono is true, I think. My aunts, uncles and other relatives don't eat Ogbono. My mum told me of the experience of two of my aunts who ate Ogbono and started having swollen and peeling lips. Funny thing is that my mum that saw all these happen still eats ogbono and nothing dey happen. I also eat ogbono and nothing happens. My explanation to this is that maybe some Asaba people have a genetic trait that makes them allergic to Ogbono. Another mystery of the Onishe is that Civil War thing. The records are there that such a thing happened. More so, after the Asaba Massacre by Nigerian soldiers led by Murtala Mohammed, the Onishe priests and other Asaba natives stated unequivocally that the Onishe would definitely avenge the blood of its natives and worshippers- even if this might take years. It was said that they must come to a violent end. Now, this came to past- look at the way Murtala, the Butcher of Asaba was killed by Dimka. Another top ranking officer who participated in the Asaba Massacre, Mohammed Shuwa was recently killed by Boko Haram. A lot like that. In coda, all I'm saying is that, as much as I am well educated, I believe there are principalities and powers. 1 Like |
