There are several online debates on the origin of egusi soup. Some yorubas said its from their side, the east said its theirs..that the name is actually called egwusi even the middle belters are not left out in the debate.
So today I was reading a book, HISTORY OF THE YORUBA PEOPLE by REV. SAMUEL JOHNSON written in 1897 but published in 1921 and a portion speaks on the crops grown in the yoruba country at the time. And egusi is one of them. Which proves beyond doubt that the word egusi is native to the Yoruba country.

I also learnt groups of Yoruba natives have the earliest access to western education since late 1800s, a group which the writer Rev. Samuel Johnson and his brother ,Dr. O Johnson belong to.
So with proof, egusi is not egwusi and it belongs to the Yoruba people. Periodt!

shut up..i am putting it in the public space for posterity..

Egusi may actually belong to Yoruba people but Igbos knows how best to make it edible. I love the soup especially when it is prepared by Nwanyi Awka here in Agbawo, Ibadan.

Generally, Igbo women are good in cooking good soup.

I left..!

A good read

Does it mean the rest of us have to ask for permission before we cook it?

I don't really like egusi tho

As Yoruba I very much prefer south south soups like Afang, white soup, edikan ikong, egusi with oha, bitter leaf and ogbono

Yet to try fisherman soup

But I enjoy my ewedu with fish stew and my local efo riro with abundant iru

😋

Yoruba have everything, rice, beans, fufu, yam etc. Are you ok op??
