Igbo Men Vs Akpu by AloyEmeka9: 3:03am On May 07, 2009
Igbo men consume 90% of the whole cassava planted in Nigeria. Why? Do they know the amount of calories one pound of akpu contains?. Cassava is one food God used to bless poor Africa because it grows from planting the stem alone unlike yams, cocoyam, potatoes etc but the way igbo men consume it, there is still scarcity of cassava to go round in Nigeria. Why igbo women dey fear to choppam still beats me.  Especially igbos from Anambra, Delta and  Enugu states are the highest akpu eating creatures on earth . Umu nna m, wetin una see for cassava?

Reduce the quantity you swallow. That is the major issue with us Africans. You don't need to swallow the balls until your gut is full. Use water and vegetable to fill the empty spaces.

Why is akpu more of a health hazard than amala or alubo?. History have shown that people get food poisoning from any mud they dessicate. Dried akpu powder is more dangerous than the wet ones. How many families have you heard that died in Nigeria after a meal of akpu, it's always some dessicated food that poisons them.

Starch is Benin and Urhobo delicacy. You have to be very careful on the way you prepare it before you poison yourself with cyanide. I usually don't eat starch from anybody except if it was prepared by an urhobo or Benin woman because they know the science and how to make it cyanide free. Palm kernel soup is called Banga. na cholesterol power house be that but I likam die.

my brother, one ball of fufu is equal to four balls of amala, true talk. grin Like I said, fufu's consistency is heavier than the lightweight amala and harder to swallow(for me and to many with delicate throats tongue). and the smell . . . well, that is a story for another day. All in all it has its own flavour and potency so I understand why it's so popular with our able-bodied Igbo gents. wink cheesy

Make una see African man. Yes men eat to the fullest but I tell you half of what you consume can still fill your stomach if you use water to fill the gaps.

How did you draw this inference. Remember that amala is made from dried yam or plantains and I don't think that yams have less calories than cassava. It's the method of preparation that determines the calorie content in most cases. Akpu has more carbs than garri but they are both from the same parent source. So if you want to compare akpu in terms of carbs, compare it with pounded yam freshly prepared. One good thing about akpu is it's smoothness and freshness and that is the only beauty it has.

I'm no food scientist, but I go by my natural instinct: akpu(see how the name strong sef grin) is very solid, even when prepared lightly and with plenty plenty water. cheesy. I'm sure it's because of this solidness that it is so popular with Igbo men who care more about substance than major food value (no tribalism intended!) wink
