It's ishekun I know they call it. This thing is evil o, once you start you'll want to lick and lick until you get sores on your palate you won't stop till you finish it. It gives this sour-sweet taste.

You must be one of these lost born-and-bred Lagosian Igbo. Please learn to spell Igbo words correctly: icheku. Moreover, Igbo words don't end in 'n' and the language is less nasal than Yoruba. undecided

The name is Dialium Guineense.


Is that the English name or botanical name , more so in writing scientific names the generic name ( genus ) starts with a capital letter while the specific name ( species ) starts with a small letter and both are italicized
