^^^^^Why are people taking this alJ_harem words seriously?  I find it funny.

Akara yoruba?  Okra Yoruba?   Egusi yoruba?   Ogbono Yoruba?   This thread opened my eyes on Yoruba people.  I have to retrace everything I thought belonged to Yoruba cause the amount of claim claim their children are doing is .

dude I believe you don't know how Igbo culture has been greatly influenced by Nigeria (same goes for others)

Go read Lugard on Nigeria book

Igbos migrated to lagos as early as 1950's and returned to the east back

AKARA Is not an Igbo food, even an ideeiot knows that

Akara orignated from Yoruba people

It is a stable food ever since in benin, togo Nigeria , brazil, cerlo people of serri leano and jamica

all this places have high concentrtion of yoruba people in relative purposes

even the brazilian, jamica  acknowleged to the yorubas

this was a book by Mary Ann S. Barber in 1857 on Trinidad Yoruba: from mother tongue to memory

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=4O8CAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA15&dq=akara+yoruba&hl=en&ei=_n3NToikFIfi8QOL44DpCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CFAQ6AEwBjgK#v=onepage&q=akara%20yoruba&f=false

so tell me when yorubas knew Igbos in 1857 ?

I would urge you to please stop this display of ignorance and learn the TRUTH

it would take nothing away from you.

One_Naira:

The name maybe, a bit doubtful since its also named egusi in Twi.  The Egusi soup is not yoruba. 

http://books.google.com/books?id=1s-a7EMM6BgC&pg=PA13&dq=Egusi+igbo&hl=en&ei=vIXNTtWhJ4Xn0QHl-NQX&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CD4Q6AEwAjgK#v=onepage&q=Egusi%20igbo&f=false

dude shut it I would type what your link wrote now

the seed egusi is native to africa, It is called agushi in twa, egusi in yoruba and agushi in Hausa also called ogili in ibo

Or is that not what your link u provided said ?

stop acting stu.pid if u have not read the link u provided

Ileke-IdI:

As for Ogbono, who is insane neough to say it's not Yoruba?

which mean the civilised Igbos call it egusi and ofcourse that is explains why it is called egusi today in ala igbo isn't it ?

Ogbono is not a yoruba word as I can think of, I know it is called Apon which Yorubas still call it.

infact I rather think of ogbono as a bini word or food.

ASK ANYONE IN NIGERIA THE ORIGINS OF EGUSI SOUP? It's Igbo and Eastern Nigeria.

alj_harem:


you don't have to say anything, it is what it is

I don't understand why u are LMFAO, what is funny ?

You lots are funny. You claim things that isn't yours just because you gave it a name.

I learned something today, I never knew thats a yoruba attribution

One_Naira:

ASK ANYONE IN NIGERIA THE ORIGINS OF EGUSI SOUP? It's Igbo and Eastern Nigeria.

I have asked and the respond is not IGBO. In fact that is why I came online to tackle such claims

so anyone does that equate to Igbo people ?

Only an ignoramus would say such

Ileke-IdI:

Damn, I was just about to ask myself the same thing. So. . . . am I?

Was I talking to you?  '

Well I fixed your question for you

 let me answer it: Yes, you are Ileke-idi.  Yes you are and i pity you.

One_Naira:

Dude i think u are starting to sound like an ideeiot. really

what do you mean, the FACTS are there unless you want to be like Nayah that disclaim facts and chooses what she thinks is right.

well life does not work that way. What it is; is what it is.

It did not originate for Igbo land, it was an adopted culture for the yorubas and hausa

learn to separate facts for your wishes STOP CLAIMING THE ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING TO BE FROM IGBOLAND because it is not.

what should we talk about again Moi-moi, agbada, gele, fila or what

all this are adopted cultures which is bad and there is nothing wrong in it, Just don't change hsitory to fit your style because you would be disgracing your people and urself as well.

Facts are Facts and I did not say anything from my sources or head but from Journals and cited sites. History books as well not from a cook website

SMH, dude go sleep. I am done with u until u bring out concrete evidence to claim otherwise.

I mean this One Naira dude is silly

You brough an edited website that claims Igbos = pounded yam

even worse Ewedu soup = egusi soup in yoruba

how silly really

stop quoting a book that was published in 2005! you can't compare it to one written in 1857 about yorubas.
and besides the recent book you quoted said only "westernized igbos" used the word. aka they lived in lagos. lol

egusi is most certainly a yoruba word.

Alhaji brought out cited journals (anyone that passed through a quality university would know what that means. In case you don't, ask Nchara or SE or whatever he calls himself these days)
One_naira brought out "websites"

How in the world can a "website" claim defeat cited journals .
Hahahaa

Alhaji, you are not as stupi.d as people think!

You exclaimmated in shock according to ur e-icon and I had the feeling u were thinking my claims are false. Thus I had to reply to it also give that ezeagu is calling akara a shared word but we know every shared word food etc has an origin and here is one.

Of course only a mad man would say Isi ewu is hausa or so or suya is igbo or yoruba etc.

should I allow u to wallow in ur ignorance or what ?

where did I disclaim that?  I said the name is Yoruba, THE SOUP IS NOT YORUBA.

We all are aware you are yoruba so lets not even go there.

Fixed your question for you and the answer is yes you can. I do not care what you do with your life.

I see what u mean.

I know igbos have a special "egusi soup" recipe that's igbo.
yorubas also have special "egusi soup" "obe egusi" that's yoruba.

but the word egusi itself is yoruba.
