You’re tragically naive. No point debating with you any further. I’ll ask you one last time still. Is akpurakpu egusi the Yoruba style Igbos adapted in the recent past? You’ve had zilch to say for that specifically up till now. It’s you who’s choosing to remain willfully ignorant and you know that deep down. At least with other posters of your kind I get some sort of mutual acknowledgment and intelligent debate for the most part. You on the other hand gloss over every other point but still claim to have good counter-arguments. 3 Likes |

Probz:Lol. No one knows what Akpurakpu is. People only know what Egusi is. Egusi is as traditional as Eko in Yorubaland. You have no knowledge of what you talk about abeg. It’s so obvious. Ogbono and Peppersoup is Niger-Delta food but you are claiming it. Anyway I have things to do with my time today. 1 Like 1 Share |

baby124: That’s one of the more traditional Igbo ways of cooking egusi. Of course you don’t know what it is because you know next to nothing about Igbo food. Clearly. Pepper soup and nsala soup are as Igbotic as food comes. Shared by other regions or not. Like I said you’re tragically naive and ignorant. 143 people wouldn’t have liked my first post about beans in Igboland if I had no knowledge at all of what I was talking about. Two other people wouldn’t have said to you what I’m saying if you were a tenth as knowledgeable as you pretend on here. The fact that you had the guts to actually question whether yam’s an Igbo staple shows up your own ignorance more than my alleged lack of knowledge. Which only you’ve claimed on this thread thus far. Not to mention your lack of any real rebuttal or valid counter-arguments more elaborate than claiming Igbos stole egusi and pepper soup from other parts. You’re starting to sound like a right clown. Deep down you know what I’m saying. 5 Likes |

Probz:No one questioned yam my dear. But you tried to say Igbos own yam. Which is not true. Yoruba’s for centuries have ingeniously processed yam to create a variety of foods. Which shows ownership of the food crop. It’s our main source of carbohydrate and cassava (Gaari) which we soak or eat as Eba. Other’s like Igbos and Deltans eat yam and cassava as regular pounded yam and cassava as Akpu or starch. The swallows are much more limited. You need to look at food processing to understand the mastery of food. Also, the Yoruba yam is different in taste and texture. 1 Like |

baby124: You make me wonder how much you know about Igbo food in the first place. Men harvesting yam’s a well-known element of Igbo agriculture and tradition. Not to mention that yam as a crop’s pretty widespread all over the tropics. What you’re doing is akin one tribe laying claim to plantain simply because we’ve all heard of dodo. 6 Likes 1 Share |

So many uneccesary arguments derailed the thread! Nigerians of various tribes were taken to Jamaica hence the use of Igbo and Yoruba words there. They're now Jamaicans anyway irrespective of their origins. Shared words are common in our languages in Nigeria. It's not a big deal. Most tribes have their own names for things which may appear more predominant in other areas. For instance Ogbono is known as Apon in Yorubaland. Certainly it's not as widely eaten as it is in Igboland so many (especially in the urban areas) may not know. There are vegetables in the Yoruba hinterland which are hardly known in Lagos too. 1 Like |

maclatunji: Keep flattering yourself. Which superior civilization? Many Igbo slaves were captured by fellow Ibos and sold to slavery through intra-ethnic wars. That was why the long juju of Arochukwu was a point of no return through which many were shipped out. The late Legendary musician, popularly referred to as 'Black Moses' Isaac Hayes, admitted that his ancestors passed through the long juju of Arochukwu on their way to slavery in the USA. 1 Like |

baby124: Yams originated in Africa, the Carribeans and in Asia. Check Google for it's origins. The above shows it's ownership can not be attributed to a single ethnic group or people. |

Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba have never met seen or heard of one another until the white man brought them together in Nigeria from Egypt and Israel, the newly discovered land. But the Jamaicans say they are Ethiopians and El Salasie is their God. Another thread claimed YAM is a foreign food introduced by Portuguese. If you are looking for the most ignorant people denying one another to the village level, come to Nigeria. Most of the informed Nigerians watch and laugh. Some even join out of mischief or for the fun of it. 1 Like |

Probz: In Awka we called it enini; and I only found out about this recently. We were at a meeting of Awka people in the city where I live, and one elderly man mentioned 'enini' and asked us, the younger people, if we knew what it meant. Not surprisingly, none of us knew. The fact that many older words are rapidly disappearing from our languages/dialects and making room for newer ones is something that is already well-known. 2 Likes 1 Share |
