If you have teasted the two before then you know that there is a difference between the two. Yoruba own is prepared in form of a stew, thick but you can still sip the pottage, while the Igbo own is more or less yam and oil boiled together, you just eat the yam and that it. Some use Asaro to eat eba in Yoruba context but you can't try that with the Igbo own.
I hope you now have clue.

Asaro to eat eba? who does that?

Igbo Yam porridge is prepared the conventional way everyone knows. Cut up yam into small pieces and boil with ingredients like tomatoes, fresh pepper, onion, crayfish, seasoning, salt and palm oil.

while Asaro is same as above but the yam is cubed into tiny sizes. Fresh Tatase, dried fish and stock fish are added. when it is well cooked, it is marshed to a near smooth-like paste but thick. It is not runny as stated above. It's a very delicious meal. I prepared it for the first time last month and fell for it.

Not necessarily all the time. There’s something called pumpkin yam porridge, which is more akin to the Yoruba asaro but more appropriately ‘oiled and peppered’ (Igbos know how to season in moderation, unlike ndi ofe mmanu).
