Nigerians are so creative that rather than find out the English names of certain fruits, they have either stuck with the traditional name or invented a new name for said fruit. Here are common
examples:

1. Tropical Almonds
The tropical almond can be found in many parts of Southern Nigeria. But Nigerians definitely don’t bother calling it tropical almond. This delicious fruit is referred to as “fruit”.

Lol, all over town sha. Back then we still had plenty oyinbo & Indians yakpa for town.

Actually Ugbowo side. Ebelebor used to be common in the compounds of returnee 9ja men with half-caste kids and oyinbo wives. All over Ugbowo.

Many were lecturers & medics @Uniben/UBTH then.

But also in GRA. Many compounds only had hibiscus hedges as fence.

3. Black Velvet Tamarind
To undertake a fruitless (in both senses) market search, you only have to keep asking for “black velvet tamarind”. If you’re interested in enjoying the sweet-tart goodness of this fruit, please forget your “shakara” and call it “lickie lickie” like everyone else.

4. African Star Apple
Try searching for African star apple on Google and watch the search engine struggle to come up with results. But search for “Agbalumo” and watch Google turn to superstar with numerous results. This is because Nigerians only know this fruit as Agbalumo, not as the African Star Apple.
