gregyboy:Your ignorance is without measure. Do you know that there are different species of melons? Do you know that not all melons have fine seeds that are eventually used for making the soup? Would you say because coconut tree- a family of the palm tree was introduced to West Africa, therefore all palm trees weren't indigenous? Where in Asia is Egwusi soup cooked traditionally? That the Igbos cook it traditionally for over 3 centuries gives them the right to claim ownership of it notwithstanding whether melon was introduced to West Africa or not. Amala is a derivative of yam which is very diversified in West and Central Africa, yet Yorubas reserve the right to claim ownership of it because only them utilized the particular process of making it.

Yujin: Guy am edo, I will invite you to were the Benin offer food to his ancestors and you will attest that egusi and pounded yam is a benin food The benin people have three original soup unique to them fortunately one became generalized egusi and pounded Egisi soup Black soup Cotton soup Cotton soup have been aborted from the edo food it just remaining the other two And do you know the people that eat thesame soup as the edo people are the ondo people I was surprised wgen i went to ondo last year and they told me they have black soup(bitter leaf soup) and egisi too Like i said the only people who are entitled To claim egusi is edo and eastern yoruba people Igbos should forget it, it was never thiers all our cultures in benin have been generalized atleast what we can get is acknowledgment to the benin people, egusi maybe an igbo world for the soup but it does not connote it origin of any kind to the igbo people we call it melon soup and the benin word ogi, its foreigners that call it egusi soup here Egusi 2 Likes |

gregyboy:Are you saying Igbos learnt about Egwusi from Edo(Bini) people? That you offer pounded yam and Egwusi soup to idols doesn't make you the sole owner of the food. Lol. So it equally means we learnt how to pound yam from Edo people too. Gregyboy, you sound so much like a kid. You should be able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the now popular egusi soup was originally bini traditional soup to convince anyone. 1 Like |

Initially, I didn't want to respond to your ignorance but I later changed my mind. As for the tuber crop introduced by the Portuguese, cassava is the highly successful one not yam. Just Google it and you will get your answer. Akpu- a cassava derivative is today accredited to the Igbos no doubt but other tribes eat various derivatives too. Before the advent of cassava, yam and cocoyam(ede) was the main staple of the Igbos. They made pounded yam and pounded cocoyam to eat with their various soups including egwusi. My grandmum told me that even up to 1940s, pounded cocoyam was eaten with soup in my family. Today, lots of Igbos don't know this. Stop disturbing us with your ignorance. Before delving into such topics, do a thorough investigation and invite people to discuss your findings. |

Yujin: You have no proves lemme break it down Egusi soup is most eating in southern part of nigeria, in d southern part of Nigeria only part of yorubas, edo and igbos claims egusi soup though it a general food eating in southern nigeria the other part of the yorubas dont lay claims to having egusi soup, just the eastern part of yorubas close to edo The edo and the eastern yoruba eat almost same meal drom black soup to egusi due to cultural ties, the igbos are the aliens here they both dont share any cultural link between the edo or yorubas the nearest neigbours to the east dont even lay claim to egusi if its true they had been eating egusi since inception they might have influenced thier neigbours from niger delta region Egusi is never an igbo soup so drop it If it was never original to the edos then they will never use it for religious purpose in edo 3 Likes |

Yujin: . Guy there is no culture that cannot be adopted igbos adopted so many culture in the present nigeria to form theirs including pounded yam Igbos never had woox carvers to carve out mortal and pistol for pounding did they benin had an ancient guils system called egbesama( wood carvers) in acient benin I would never take igbo culture serious because they are all borrowed 2 Likes |

Yoruba tat doesn't even have a meaning a tribe that was named by Fulani (Yoruba) and have everything borrowed from their dressing which they copies the Fulani to their names..... Egwusi is an Igbo word Okwro is an Igbo word Ugu is an Igbo word Ube is an Igbo word |
Re: Egusi Is Not Yoruba Or Igbo Soup by gregyboy(m): 7:36am On Mar 20, 2020 |
AmuDimpka: And by that you belive they own it Because the names of those food are igbo names and are now generalized word it now means the other tribes don't have the words for them abi How pathetic, They all have igbo names so also they have thier various names in other various tribe the igbos name for them became generalized does notconnate it origin If you have to claims those crops there you have to start from thier origin and not just naming 3 Likes |

gregyboy:Your ignorance stink. All traditional worshippers use schnapps hotdrink for libations; does it mean they originally owned it? Oha soup is traditionally ours still non of our neighbors prepared it all along too. Igbos own Egwusi soup and have different methods of preparing it so much that they still rule over its sales the world over. Why not your Edo people and any other tribe do a contest with the Igbos on egwusi soup preparation. Obviously, you know you'll lose flatly. 1 Like |

gregyboy:Your last paragraph is an insult but I won't respond in kind on all Edo people because I respect their history. You unfortunately are a spoilt brat with not respect and devoid of any sense of anthropology. So, it was the Bini people that taught Igbos wood carving? You'll say it was the Bini that taught Igbos palmoil extraction that usual mortars and pestle for the process. Our masquerade masks were carved by the Binis right? What about your traditional market days; isn't it the Igbos you got it from? If you must argue, don't disrespect us again. 2 Likes |

Yujin: Lol, you write ups are just full claims with no evidence back them up you tell me the east prepares egusi in varieties so does that make them own it Schnapo is a whiteman gin introduced to africans by europeans the drink of an african was palmwine, it is clearly stated in history books Portuguese had brought schnapps (gins) to benins in exchange of local products little wonder why the niger delta are into schnapps than drink beer the other tribes who started using schnapps recdntly adopted it because they never had contact with the white untill recently when the britsh arrived..... Dont drag it egusi is not igbo it more edo and yoruba that it will ever be igbo Pumkin plant if research is carfied may be sven foreign to africa regardless of that pumkin is a plant that is grown in nigeria but igbos word for it Ugu that does not connate it origin originate from igbos 1 Like |

Re: Egusi Is Not Yoruba Or Igbo Soup by letu(m): 1:25pm On Mar 20, 2020 |
gregyboy:Based on your logic, all right of ownership should go to the Portuguese and not the Benin since according to you that every thing that has to do with yam and melon in Benin started with the Portuguese introducing it to Benin people also from your logic, without the Portuguese doing so there won't be any egusi and pounded yam for your gods. this gregyboy wonder shall never end. |
Re: Egusi Is Not Yoruba Or Igbo Soup by letu(m): 1:39pm On Mar 20, 2020 |
gregyboy:Boy stop all this noise, as Benin boy that your claiming you should be thanking the Portuguese for bringing yam and melon to Benin because if they didn't that means no pounded yam and melon (egusi soup) for you. Benin and Igbo have a different history and origin of things. |

gregyboy:If my write-up is full of claims, what are yours full of? Facts? I won't waste my time on you because you're highly ignorant. Today, egwusi soup is accredited to Igbos and we proudly flaunt its ownership. You can shout from now till forever, without any solid facts to prove otherwise, you're merely wasting your time. On Ugu, pumpkin leaves have been with us for long and we've been using it judiciously. Whatever you say doesn't change the fact that ugu is associated with Igbos just like the moringa (kuka) leaves are associated with the Hausas. No Bini soup is popular. You've to worry why this is so and not come here trying to claim our popular egwusi soup. Lol |
