Mr Editor, No mind me, The Gods must b crayzness ,Sorry I meant Crazy...
I knw 1f0ol will Quote me. . .

They look like seeds of some tree.

They also look edible. Open one up,

All these children sef.
That thing is boiled in water, open, pound and use to prepare some food that you eat.

Asking what this is makes me feel old. If you dont know what it is then ignore it & stick to indomie & eggroll. Mtchwww!

My grandma cooked with that.
Orumba/Aguata local govt people of Anambra state call it ibaa. It's similar to ogbono seeds, open the hard,woody exocarp and the edible dicotyledous endocarp will be revealed.

Like ogbono, crush or blend into fine powder.

I think it's also called mkpuru achi.

In my dialect, its called ORURU.

Its very hard and takes time to cook. Its used as a soup thickener. Like achi or egusi but its a whole soup of its own.
I don't like the soup because even though it tastes sweeter the next day and can rarely get spoilt, it gets dark. So, two days after making the soup even if you put it in the fridge, its as black as sheet and not good to the eyes.

Cc Odumchi, what is this called in your dialect?

So Wats d English na

It is called Ibaba in my dialect. You boil it, break it, open it and pound it. Ɣ☺ΰ can use it to make soup or thicken soup

Mkpuru achi? That's strange considering there's another one that's really achi. What then is achi called?

I actually didn't recognize it when I first saw it. The closest thing I know to it in both resemblance and use is achi.

Called "ukpo" in my native igbo language.
Used to thicken soup and very delicious if used in preparing egusi and ukazi soup. chai! *licks lips*

But its broken into pieces and cooked for a long time because its very hard before pounding and using.

@op please open it up.

and is it a tree seed?

That's ukpo. We igbos use it as soup thickner but I prefer cocoyam

It is called UKPO. Use for cooking native soup

In Ekiti, it is called ipe. In my childhood days in my house, we play with it by aranging it in different patterns and your opponent tries to target any one of it just like in bowling game. Mehn,it was very interesting as onlookers who are also members of the family cheer their favourite player.we used to play the game in the sitting room which has tiles on the floor. The seed rolls better on tlles.

In akwaibom its called ibaba,donno d english name,I remember wen I was little, ma mum use to cook it fr us,she's boil n remove d nut frm d shell,pound n use it to cook oha soup,its jus like d popular Achi we are use to.

Ukpo toro!

God bless u,u hit d nail on d head! In my side it called ibaba(ibibio lang) my mum had it on her farm. Wat u do it crack it open then boil d whitish stuf insid wch is then pounded to thicken d soup. But try as much as u can,soup turns black d next day,lol!

That's ibaba (Akwa ibom), nowadays easy achi has replaced the good old ibaba. You had to break the pod open, boil the flesh inside, pound adding a little oil before using it for mkpafere.
