You all must have heard of the word 'Igbako', a yoruba word for a tool use to serve foods that require you to eat with your bare hands... The funny thing is that i have heard the English word for it.

A friend of mine called an 'Igbako' a 'Scoop' in English, while the 'Omorogun' used in turning the Eba/Amala/Lafun/Iyan was called a 'Turnstick'.

Igbako is a scoop either wooden or plastic scoop... While omorogun is called wooden spatula
