martineverest:
palm oil has been existing in Benin kingdom before urhobo tribe started existing..palm oil was exported to Europe by bini people instead of slave trade

Bini is an ancient civilization and Deltans wouldn't have existed if they weren't there, so I'm not here for comparisons.

Just stating that, The Urhobos were known for their Palm oil exploits that they dominated several states in the 30's. Also, that the Bini's exported palm oil to Europe before the Urhobos existed doesn't mean that Palm Trees weren't found in territories the Urhobos migrated to when they left Bini.

No tribe in modern Nigeria process palm oil like the Urhobos, this has been their way of life and even ethnic groups like the Ikale's will testify to this fact.

Oh.. as their THEIR special? Ok.
Do Hausas have food? grin



O yeah? I'll still go for my oha soup over it any time any day.



I have eaten Banga. I've even cooked the delta version ( as directed by a warri woman) and it was nothing compared to my favs. In fact, I didn't look forward to it again after tasting it once. So??.. But I know a deltan woman who is always craving our oha soup that she begged me to give her the receipe so she can be making it at home as she used to practically go buy it from a canteen just to have a taste everyday.

Maybe the one made by deltans might taste different.

There you got it wrong, it was probably your first time and so you definitely wouldn't have got the perfect taste.

Did you use native or agric Banga?
what species did you use? (Ubeletientien, Utiako etc?)
Made use of cat fish and other assorted?

Until you eat the one prepared by a typical Urhobo lady, you shouldn't talk down the meal. Banga soup no get mate.

Yes, palm oil cultivation spread to many south west state through the Urhobos. Ondo state is a prominent example. The Urhobos presence was very widespread in the southern part of the state, so much so that they speak the native language fluently. Sometimes, you can hardly differentiate an Urhobo person from Ikale. Ondo is also very prominent in Palm tree cultivation.

What are you talking about?
Who is this one? What's the difference between ofe akwu and banga? The only difference is the name
Recipes of preparing might differ
But Both are made from palm nut extract,
Don't be stupid and quit spreading misinformation. How can stew and soup be the same thing? Two meals that serve different purposes, has different names, have different tastes and have entirely different methods of preparation is what you are calling one because of palm. Are you OK? why dont you call ofe ora Banga soup too since akwu is ideally used to prepare it?
Ofe akwu means palm stew in English why Banga soup means palm soup in English. The difference must be made clear to avoid heritage theft!

Banga is originally from Urhobo. Where can u get Banga soup in Benin?


Anywhere u see Banga being sold in this country is prepared by an Urhobo.


Where, is it Lagos, Port Harcourt, or Calabar.

Anywhere.


Tah you lie
Edo people can make Banga soup also.
The real soup for Urhobo is Owo and Starch.

I know Edo state has lots of palm trees, but Delta state is also blessed with it, the Urhobos grew up in the art of harvesting and processing palm oil because of its abundance in their locality, this led them into exploring other states like Edo and Ondo in the early 30's (During the palm oil boom).



True. The Urhobo were very good in palm oil trade back then. I know how this made many of them settle all over Edo state.

The Urhobos are an old stock of what you call Benin people. They're Edoiod also. Palm oil has been existing in all our lands for a very very long time.

Outside the Urhobos, the Edo's cook nice banga soup. I can testify. All my aunties from my father's side can cook it well big time. I even ate it last night. I have been eating banga soup all my life. Even banga rice and ukodo

You are obviously being unnecessarily dense.

There is no link between Banga and Ofe akwu.
Nothing whatsoever. If you are Igbo, you would know this.
As an Igbo, you can never eat Banga and like it. The taste is off.
No where in SE is that soup prepared or sold. Not even in Enuani Delta.
Our people know good soups when we eat one, and the only non Igbo soup that passes the taste test in Igbo land is Afang and Edikaikong.
They are the only non Igbo soups a typical Igbo man born and raised in Igbo land can appreciate.

Your continued insistence on Ofe akwu and Banga being same is annoying and provocative to me as an Igbo man.
Stop it already, its not funny.

No one in Igbo land eat Banga soup or whatever you lots call it.

We eat Ofe akwu. They are not same. Stop patronizing yourselves. No well raised Igbo man will eat Banga and like it, let alone mistake it for Ofe akwu. No offense.
