I went home to celebrate Easter and grandma prepared egusi soup for me,see let me tell you egusi belongs to the yoruba people. It originated from the SW states and I can tell you egusi can be used to make many stuffs by us
Now let me ask you can igbos make ewedu elegusi,robo elegusi,alapa. Even all this talk talk that igbos make soup most in nigeria I don't believe, go to calabar and all the SS states and see many of their precious delicacies that igbo people copied.
I wish to visit calabar soon honestly, their soups are the best

Raf4:


They will soon start to claim the ownership of jollof rice, ofada rice, ẹwa & dodo, moi moi, akara, aṣọ-ẹbi etc

Dsimmer:


Aside alapa, robo etc, there's even Egusi funfun, Egusi oshiki etc. Yoruba's have several varieties of cooking Egusi as a matter of fact, even as the name egusi is a Yoruba name.

DeepThroater:


You people have now added cultural appropriation into your long list of thievery .


Ogbono is Edo delicacy made from the seeds of bush mangos.

Okro is farmed mostly in the north and was introduced by Europeans into Nigeria. In the US they refer to it as lady's fingers.

Egusi that some of you are lying through your teeth here claiming it's your delicacy is from the middlebelt with the Igala , Ebira, Idoma and Tiv people who cultivate the melon plant . Can you barefacedly lie that you guys own any of these delicacies when not one of the main ingredients of Egusi , Okro and Ogbono is not found or farmed in your SE?

Jesus you people are really something else

Cosbyrich:


Wonders shall never end.
Igbos that started eating Egusi When they tasted it in Yorubaland are trying to claim it.
Na wah o.

Alexis11:


Igbos will copy from Calabar, copy from Yoruba, copy from Bini etc and later claim ownership or the best at it lol

leathalbeast:
oya bring your version of the soup na!

waternogetememy:



Your stupid, when your caught, u start to be silly.


y not just tell the truth or admit it?


Egusi is an Igbo word. Egwusi or Egusi.


Ogbono is also Igbo.

Holluwhakemmy:
stop claiming other tribe egusi not an igbo soup

Bulldozer90:
Don't have time for unintelligent clowns.

DeepThroater:


Simply ask them which part of their SE is Egusi cultivated .

Bestmanfornow:

Bestmanfornow:

All states in Southeast it's very common to cultivate

Bulldozer90:
Don't have time for unintelligent clowns.

DeepThroater:


Liar.
The middle belt remains the region where melon plant is cultivated .

Why do you guys lie like this,?

Bestmanfornow:

All states in Southeast it's very common to cultivate

waternogetememy:



YOU DON GO CHANGE AM FOR WIKIPEDIA NOW?


YORUBA IS THE BOTTOM IN NIGERIA WHEN IT COMES TO SOUP.

OIL IS USUALLY TOO MUCH.


EGWUSI IS DEFINATELY NOT A YORUBA WORD.

waternogetememy:



AFTER CLAIMING SOUP, U STILL NO SABI COOK AM.


I REMEMBER TRYING EDIKAIKONG SOUP IN YORUBA RESTURANT, I VOMIT.

IF IGBO WOMAN COOK EGUSI FOR YOU, U WILL KNOW THE DIFFERNCE.

AmuDimpka:
Yoruba no Sabi cook anything apart from Amala ati Ewedu

Dsimmer:


I thought Oka was Amala. People learn everyday though.

That's some good list.

Yoruba have got lots of cuisines tbh.

They've even got several varieties for each.

For example, there are several varieties for Iyan which includes :

Yoruba have got several varieties of cooking food, soup and vegetables, considering the several varieties above. In fact, using IFA as timeline, In the old days when sick people are taken to the Awo, the first thing the person was asked was if he or she had eaten. If he's not eaten, several varieties of nutritional foods are prepared for him to eat before any other thing because it could be hunger/lack of food which got the person sick. Besides, one needs to eat food before taking medication. That's what some later term as aseje. The idea behind it was to ensure one had eaten food first before taking medication, considering most of the sick people were left at the Awo place in the old days. Same principles of eating before medication is employed in the hospital today.

DeepThroater:



Where in your SE are any of the main ingredients of these foods you are claiming are cultivated ?


Bloody liars.


I don't blame you at all.

waternogetememy:



LISTEN, EVERY FAMILY IN IGBOLAND HAVE AN AREA IN THE COMPOUND FOR PLANTING.

THEY STILL HAVE THEIR FARM IN ADDITION.

WHEN YOU CRY EBI KPA MI, DID YOU HERE IGBOS SAY A WORD?

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THEY HAVE EGUSI GROWING THERE.

MAY NOT BE AS MUCH AS IN THE NORTH BUT THE FARMS ARE THERE.

Bulldozer90:
I won't answer your questions until you actually lay claims to any of them. "This is not your own" is different from "this is my own"

Most of you keep saying it's not of Igbos origin without telling us the origin. Speak of Solomon and two harlots.

DeepThroater:



Who you dey decieve .

All the Egusi you eat in the SE comes from Kogi and Benue .


Stop lying.

My friend used to buy bags of Egusi from these aforementioned states and send to his mother in the east .


Liars.

waternogetememy:



ALL THAT SHIT YOU POST IS CRAP.


IT IS INACCURATE AND WRITEN BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT LIKE TO LAY CLAIMS TO THINGS.


ANSWER THIS QUESTION, WHICH SOUP DO YORUBA COOK THAT REQUIRES THE LEVEL OF DETAIL YOU GET IN EGWUSI?


HAVE YOU SEEN THE REST OF IGBO SOUPS AND THE DETAILS?


Y ARE THEY IDENTICAL TO EGWUSI?

DeepThroater:


I know your SE well.

You are not talking to someone you can easily decieve.


The highest cultivated foodstuff in the SE is cassava , cocoa yam and water yam then Ugwu and bitterleaf.


You can add Ebonyi rice and sweet potatoes and other beans varieties but this Egusi , pls no lie abeg.

waternogetememy:
I JUST DEY HERE THEY WONDER HOW YORUBA TAKE ORIGINATE EGWUSI.


THIS PEOPLE THAT CANNOT COOK SOUP WITHOUT OIL.
