Alligators and black pepper are ever present in juju concoction in Nigeria. I remembered what I was little- dibia would rub it on those funny marks they cut on you and said funny incantations I was surprised to see my adopted country using them in regular cooking ...and has a grand name for each...now I rarely cook without spices, black pepper, Alligators etc

Were you that stubborn those days?
What was the reason for the Incision?
Is it ode-eshi?

The foreign countries make use of these spices more than what we use them for here....Some households here may not get to use black pepper for a whole year in any of there meal.

Now, export people are now sending these spices out of the country since Covid issues..In fact they are somehow scarce here...

Carot:
what is mkpuru in English

Mkpuru can mean different things depending on the context it ia being used..

In this context, it is seed that is Uziza seed.

When a package is in smaller portions, you can use mkpuru, Like the Crystal meth youths are using to get wasted these days, My people call it "meth "..

Mmiri is water representing the crystalline form of the methamphetamine.

Carot:
what do they called the following in English: ukazi, akwara, achara, onugbu

I don't know if there is a specific name for these things in English..As some appear to be core African stuffs..

Ukazi........Something Africanum..

Onugbu...bitter leaf.

Achara...Grass the edible one consumed by Abia people.

Akwara can be vein in human body, could be root for trees, can as well be tough for meat...like those tough meat they use in Iya awero buka stew, if you mistakenly draw the meat, na pepper go enter your eye...
