What Is This Notorious Itchy Plant Called In Your Language? by Infomizer(m): 3:28pm On Apr 28, 2015
I now know the English name is Velvet Bean but I know the Yorubas call it Weyreypey. The Igalas also call it Weyleypey-which is slightly different from what the Yorubas call it. So I had a close shave with this niccur of recent and I've been wondering what it's called by other tribes apart from the two I've mentioned. Have you (or anyone you know) been touched by this 'angel'? What was it like?

Nagode sosai!



Orunto:
Yorubas eat Weyreypeh every morning and drink die water on top. That's what they are made of. The only two Yorubas the Igbos think they know much are Awo, "Azikwe gba loga", and OBJ, Ojukwu's terror. The Igbos don't know APARTHEID at all. They should always pray not to see the true colour of Yorubas' eyes. OMODE O MO OGU ON PE LEFO!!!! THEY CAN'T FACE BUHARI, THEY ARE TRYING TINUBU, THE WIZARD OF YORUBA INTERLAND.

Get well soon Old Sport... grin grin

how many times will nairalanders ask this question?

when are you going to progress to informing us of the scientific name, medicinal or scientific uses, viable financial prospects, etc?

or oyinbo/indian/chinese should come and do it for you?

Wikipedia has done most of that.
What it didn't do was to provide the local names which seem to have piqued my interested at the moment. And if I knew, I wouldn't be asking.

We call it 'agbara' or 'ibie' in the Aro dialect of Igbo.
