MayhorE:Is eba an Igbo, Hausa or English name. For your info, Yorubas mastered the cultivation and preparation of cassava (paki) into elubo lafun, amala and eba. 2 Likes |

Awoofawo: You nailed it bro. I remember those ewa aganyin sellers around kakawa, Ita faji in the eighties-Kwele, kodjo, Kominatete et al. I learnt some languages like doji which means fisi (add more) .It goes well with sandgrouse bread |

Dindondin: Emilokoiyawon: This reminds me of an argument I once had with Yorubas here who were claiming Agbada is a native wear that is indigenous to Yorubas just because the name "agbada" is a Yoruba name. When in reality, Sahelian groups across West Africa long wore it for centuries (brought to them by Arab and Berbers) who then brought it to the North of Nigeria before the Hausas and Fulanis brought it to Yoruba land and an agbada has very little distinction with the Hausa babariga. Cassava has long been cultivated and processed and eaten all across Nigeria for millenia. That the name "eba" is Yoruba doesn't mean it has Yoruba origins. The word "garri" is an Hausa word. It doesn't mean Hausas invented it. 1 Like |

Obi1kenobi: This one has come up with his nonsense again. Which of your agbada aint Yoruba? You mean aso oke as called by the egbas, ijebu and ondo folks originated from your a$$? Do I need to remind you that the aforementioned folks had nothing to do with the Northerners nor Islam as at the time they were found wearing aso oke, coined as agbada today? And yes, Eba is a Yoruba food. You don't even have a name for it in your language. 3 Likes |
Re: Yoruba Cuisines To Try by Obi1kenobi(m): 10:49pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
Diademk07: Who said anything about the Aso Oke fabric? I was talking about the agbada and you're bringing up something irrelevant. And no, eba is not a Yoruba food. The same way Garri is an Hausa name, but has no proven origins from Hausa land. Eba is just Garri with hot water. It's a Yoruba name. Same way Egusi (Egwusi) is claimed to be a Yoruba word and some even claim it to be a Yoruba food even though it is more popular among Igbos and there isn't a lick of proof of Yorubas having a longer history of the Egusi. People often erroneously attribute something to a culture just because the etymology of a word may originate from that culture. And yes, we do have a name for "eba" which is "utara", an old name. By cultural diffusion, Eba has simply evolved as the most common name all across the country. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: Eba - as it is known today - is an original Yoruba delicacy. Just because it is now eaten all across the country does not mean it has no original home. Jollof is has Senegalese origin - YET when Nigerians and Ghanaians make noise/beat chest about jollof you would think it originates from them. 2 Likes |
Re: Yoruba Cuisines To Try by Obi1kenobi(m): 11:47pm On Feb 28, 2018 |
Emilokoiyawon: No, it is not. To cut the argument short, prove it. Is "Garri" too a Yoruba invention, abi is it the hot water added to the garri to make eba that is the Yoruba invention? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Yoruba Cuisines To Try by ycat: 2:01am On Mar 05, 2018 |
I know. I've seen them call us Amala, when I didn't even eat it growing up. My g-granny was the the only one eating it back then, the woman hated rice and eba, just Amala and Sunday pounded yam despite being full Ijebu. But now Amala (plantain type) is becoming something I have to eat at least once a week. sokera: |
Re: Yoruba Cuisines To Try by ycat: 2:25am On Mar 05, 2018 |
I didn't even list all. We have Ekuru, what about all the soups I grew up in Ijebu ode but didn't see Apon soup more than once, but when I visited Kano every Yoruba restaurant I went had it on their menu. Our food is better than any food out there. Thanks anyway. sokera: 1 Like |
