But the fruit in this pix is called Anyu or Ugboro in Igbo language. What is the English name?

Google ''fluted pumpkin''. Oyinbo man says it's Ugu, a vegetable popular in Nigeria and West Africa...

This ugboro leaf is sweet for yam cooking and some say they use it in soup.

Its called pumpkin, the oyibo type of pumpkin. They(oyibo) has different types of pumpkin, the popular one is the orange colour pumpkin used during the Halloween period, and this is the uncommon one.
