My ancestors ate coco yam and cassava. Did your ancestors ever eat egusi? If so, why do they call it by an Igbo name?

If your ancestors were eating their own version of egusi soup before Igbo people were then why didn't they give it a name? Why are they going by its Igbo name? Are Yoruba people not more numerous and influential than Igbos in Nigeria? Then why are they using an Igbo name for their ancestral dish?

Stop trying to appropriate Igbo cuisine.

true that. your ancestors ate roasted yam being that they lived largely in the bush before they met civilization. however, i'd forgive your ignorance borne out of illiteracy to have appropriated egusi to the igbo . Egusi melon is traditionally a West African delicacy which is not exclusive to any tribe.

Lol, y d cry?

Egusi is an African word, I showed u evidence u ar still crying, am I d one that developed google translator? Your father nd ur great grandfather lied to u, Egusi isn't an Igbo word, deal with it.

Yoruba's have a word called Asiri, Ijaw has d word too nd one other tribe nd it means same thing, Igbo also av this word but it means d negative of what it is from other tribe. So ar u telling me Asiri belongs to Igbo alone or to Yoruba or Ijaw? Broda wey mumu
Lol, there's nothing like "cry" in this just stating the fact.

yes, we have the word "asiri" which means "gossip" i don't know what it means in either yoruba, ijaw, efik or ibibio

just as the Igbos have "Ngozi" which means blessing and another country that have Ngozi as a name of a town in it.

*MODIFIED* about the word ASIRI[/HR]

the was gotten from two differnt Igbo words,
ha-siri(for plural)means "they said"
a-siri means "it was said"
so, all these brought about the wor

Igbo foods are favorite to other tribes, you hardly see Yoruba food outside Yoruba states, Igbo foods are in every restaurants in all states and beyond shore's of Nigeria. Even in Lagos Yorubas prefer Igbo foods than the rubbish your people are cooking

You are making it sound like only the yorubas that answer with insults here.
But you know you igbos hurl insults too as if you it's going out of fashion even without provocation at times.
It's both ways,don't make it one sided.

Pounded yam is ji asuru asu in Igbo. We don't call it iyan, that's a yoruba word. But egusi is an Igbo word. What does egusi mean in Yoruba?

it is called oshiki

Like seriously i dont know why tribalism has eaten deep into both set of folks, am not exonerating any tribe here.

Its wen i joined nairaland dat i discovered this heinous act of our generation. and if u tink about it so deep u wil realise dat its not worth it

And one tin i notice is dat, majority of people throwing jabs online are handicapped in real world, infact dem b water.

many are doin dat to amass likes, and attention here.

weneva i come across yoruba and ibos throwing blows at demselves below the belt level here on nairaland i always burst into lafter, why?? i careless
