So you think the world Egusi is Igbo or Hausa.

You dey mind the idiot

May of there favorite food

Egusi made from Melon seed

And Moi moi and Akara made from bean

Melon and Beans does not grow in the east

These are savanna crops grown in the North or North Central

They don't even know the meaning of these foods.

aljharem:
@ Nku particularlly here is diamond bank, It is a known fact at least in the North and Western part of the country that if you are not Igbo, you can never ever get a job in Diamond bank.

Even the owner of the bank confirmed this when he said people perceive it as an Igbo bank. Why the hell would people do that if they have not be discriminated against because of their ethnicity.

Of course Diamond bank is dead now.

GoodRocks:
The SE politicians will ruin their chances as usual. They'll tell you to fund them and make peace with the easterners. The SE politicians are all after their stomach!

If this senator is serious, let him invite NK and ask him what does Igbos wants, the guy will bodly tell you referendum

Meanwhile Obi just want a prosperous new Nigeria for us all

But we don't want your Obi !!! He should have made Anambra prosperous first

KwuoteYourFada:
Your brothers almost in Thier millions in Anambra alone

I live here I can categorically tell you the amount of Yorubas in Anambra is higher than those of Igbos in Oyo

I have interacted with alot of Yorubas here in Nnewi that I even mistook for Igbos because of their fluency.

Travel more

That is good.

One Nigeria

Tap0lane:
Will that be according to Igbo statistics of Bureau ?!

They have the highest number of Billionaires yet they are all over social media begging for money

KwuoteYourFada:
Coming from a clown who has been defending Buhari online here 8 year! Irredeemable ret@rd

Anambra beat all your SW states minus Lagos hands down both in infrastructure, education,GDP and health care

Lol I never supported Buhari. Check my past post.

Also Anambra is a shit hole that is why your brothers are all over Oyo and Ondo.

Obi na scammer

Kennyswag:
I will rather vote for gumi than the best igbo man

Haba don't say that. You are provoking them.

See now

Chai some people get vision sha

Slytiger:
Basically, you are advocating for the return to regional government that Chukwuma Nzeogwu messed up via a coup and Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi helped destroyed via his unification decree. Ben Nwabueze also helped Ironsi to draft the decree.

Let's not also forget that Nnamdi Azikiwe ensured that it was a treasonable offence to try to secede.

‘I’m Nigerian from Oyo Kingdom’ – Ghanaian singer, Stonebwoy

Ghanaian singer, Livingstone Etse Satekla, popularly known as Stonebwoy has revealed that he has Nigerian heritage.

Stonebwoy, who is from the Ewe tribe of Ghana, claimed that his ancestors were from the ancient Oyo Kingdom in Nigeria.

He further claimed his tribe, Ewe, were the original settlers of Ilesha in Osun State.

The dancehall star spoke in a recent chat with popular influencer, Ola of Lagos.

Speaking in Pidgin, Stonebwoy said, “Me sef nah Naija, no lies. Me nah Ewe from Oyo Kingdom, my tribe migrated from Nigeria to Ghana here, na we get Illesha. Shout-out to my people in the southern part of Nigeria. Check Ewe, we root straight to Yoruba

They should be killed asap. Imagine having kidney problem because one nuisance wants to make quick 20k

@Seun. It is unfortunate that you have not read the handwriting on the wall.

I have been here since the inception of Nairaland and had my fair share.

These SE tribalist are IPOB and ready to destroy your business. Smell the coffee already and stop being a weakling.

They use different user names to stir up tribal issues and are a cancer to the society.

Ban anyone with tribal inclination on any topic and watch tribalism reduce.

These people are revisionist and wicked and it is just a matter of time they destroy all you stand for.

They are the same from GRV to IPOB

betshopagent:
Yaariba created melon. Another fallen demon analysis powered by osun weed. Mine your skull in peace and stop constituting nuisance.

I am not bring tribal here however the origin of Egusi is not even Nigerian just like Jollof rice.

And yes yorubas introduced egusi to Igbos.

The SE climates does not support the growth of water Melon not to talk of seeds.

The Egusi type is a non-hard-coat form of L.
siceraria mainly cultivated for the use of its seeds. Egusi
(in Yoruba language) refers to a group of cucurbit species.

The fruit pulp of these cultivars is too bitter for human consumption. In West Africa they are called ‘egusi’, derived from the Yoruba language; in Wolof language (Senegal) they are called ‘beref’. In the Kalahari region, the seeds are considered a delicacy.

language spoken in Nigeria, Benin and Togo

I have come to realize most Nigerians are illiterates

Hahahahahaahha. Ode ni'e... I am a full blooded Yoruba man. And I can bet that u have never left the west all ur life. Egusi na yoruba ke. Find somewhere siddon for back.

You are not yoruba you idiot

Egusi is not an igbo food. And I have prove. I have showed it countless times on nairaland

sassiemyk:
Nsala soup is the king of soups. Followed by Egusi Soup. No Yoruba soup deserves to be on the list by the way.

You people must show your complex sha.

You egusi is a yoruba soup that you igbos pride yourself on. Melon aka egusi does not even grow in the east

@op

Ohwo soup

Egusi Ijebu

Ofada sauce /Ayamashe

Ideally we should not be competing but collaborating. It is sad really

lekanation:
If a Yoruba man goes to the east, buy land, build on it and start claiming anambra is no man's land. Is that not trouble he's looking for Same thing applies to you people in Lagos. You're free to build anywhere but respect your host and never drag ownership of the state with them... Yoruba are merciful if not that... What I heard during the election is enough to burn all Igbo's businesses and houses down.. Like we own Lagos, we develop Lagos, Lagos is no man's land, Yoruba people are lazy, they've sold all their lands to us

Don't mind them. They are very foolish. No wisdom

Seun Osewa this should be front page.

Also let it be known to all. Lagosian are not against anybody but Igbos that have chosen not to respect themselves.

Chai, people are frustrated. Abeg the first speaker is just frustrated and we need to understand that things are going south as it is right now. I hope Tinubu turns the country around

Good job !!! How can we be honoring a mad man.

Let it be. Anyone but Igbos

nisai:

It is obvious now.
