In many Nigerian homes,
pounded yam with any soup
remains a delicacy that is
cherished. In many Yoruba
communities of the South
West, from Ekiti to Ilesa, Ondo,
Owo, and other ancient towns,
pounded yam is eaten during
festivals, celebrations and it is
also seen as some status
symbol. At social functions,
like wedding, birthday, funeral
and naming ceremonies,
entertainment of guests with
meals may be perceived to be
incomplete without pounded
yam.
It is therefore not surprising
that many restaurants have the
meal on their list. But in Kuta,
an agrarian community in Osun
State, located in Ayedire local
government area, it is taboo to
sell pounded yam in food
canteens. It also must not be
hawked. Aside this, it is also
forbidden to sell fried
groundnuts in the rustic town.
Kuta is one the major
communities in Yoruba land,
where Owu descendants are
domiciled.
Though these are age-long
taboos, their enforcements are
strictly guarded by the
traditional institution in Kuta.
This is to avoid what an
indigene termed ‘enormous
calamity.’
The curiosity generated by
these developments compelled
the Nigerian Tribune to pay a
visit to Kuta, with a view to
exploring the historical
background of these taboos
and how residents of the
community have been able to
maintain this age-long
observation.
Findings by our correspondent
indicate that the genesis of the
taboos could be traced to the
progenitor of Owu Kuta,
identified as Oba Akindele
Anlugbua who placed a curse
on any indigene, who dared or
attempted to sell pounded yam
and fried groundnuts in the
community.
Since he forbade his kinsmen
from selling pounded yam and
fried groundnuts, some people
who dared to flout it in the
town, according to residents,
had paid the supreme price
through mysterious deaths.
Speaking on the taboos during
an interview with the Nigerian
Tribune, the traditional ruler of
the town, Olowu of Kuta, Oba
Hammed Adekunle Makama
Oyelude Tegbosun 111 said “it
is true that nobody dares sell
pounded yam and fried
groundnuts here in Kuta. We
have been able to strictly
guard the tradition and
effectively ensure enforcement
of among our natives here.”
He stated that “these taboos
have been in existence for
close to 500 years. My
progenitor Anlugbua Akindele
that founded Owu Kuta lived
for above 200 years and when
it was time for him to pass on
to the great beyond, he called
his children, including my
great-great grandfathers. He
told them that ‘I (Anlugbua)
have done enough and going
to rest.’
“He subsequently mounted his
horse with his wife and was
accompanied by his dog
because he was a great
hunter. Anlugbua directed his
people to escort him to a
particular place. He said
anytime they needed him in
time of trouble, they should
call him and he promised to
answer them. When they got
to that particular spot, which is
still there in Kuta today, he
descended into the earth or
ground in a mysterious
manner.
“His wife transformed into a
river at that same spot and we
now refer to that river as Odo
Ayaba (Queen’s River). The
chain that he put round the
neck of his dog was there and
it is still there now. You can
even visit the place to see the
chain. Then, his horse climbed
a tree. If we have good
preservation technology, we
would have preserved the
footprints of the horse
because these footprints were
still there on the tree up till
1986.
“Few months after Anlugbua
descended into the ground,
some of his children and
people generally went on
drinking spree. They were
extremely drunk and said ‘this
man that descended into the
ground told us to call him.’
They started querying the
sincerity of Anlugbua’s
promise to answer them in
time of need. They asked
‘have you ever seen a man
who passed on and comes
back to life’.
“Some of them said that they
should not doubt him, while
others insisted that they
should try him to find out if he
would answer them. So, they
went to that spot where our
progenitor descended into the
ground. The village then was
bubbling with people selling
pounded yam and fried
groundnuts in the market and
other places.
“They pulled his chain and
called him and behold he
came out from the ground and
he called his dog, whose
colour had turned black. He
mounted his horse and started
coming into the village. As he
was coming, he thought there
was a war, which made his
people to call him. There and
then, he started beheading the
people he sighted along the
way.
“When he got to the village’s
square, he saw a gathering of
people where they were selling
pounded yam and he thought
they were part of the
presumed enemies and started
killing them. In the process,
the yam peel slipped the
horse. As the horse struggled
to get up, the shell of fried
groundnuts got stuck in its
hoof.
“At that point, Anlugbua was
forced to stand on his feet and
he then took a look at the
victims of the presumed war
and saw Owu tribal marks on
their faces. He was shocked
and he exclaimed ‘so they are
my children.’ Then, he asked
them why they called him
when there was no war or
problem.
“Just like the Jews, who
always doubted their prophets,
our people doubted Anlugbua.
He said they had wounded his
horse and from then on, none
of them would sell pounded
yam and fried groundnuts in
Kuta. Whoever did would die a
painful death like the people
that had made him kill in error.
Then he said henceforth that
when they call him in time of
trouble, he would not appear
but would tell them what to do
and how to go about their
problems.”
He, however, disclosed that
“we have made it a point of
duty to annually appease
Anlugbua at that spot, where
he descended into the
ground.”
When asked if anybody had
flouted the taboos since then,
the traditional ruler stated that
“for record purpose, one of my
predecessors, whose name
would not be mentioned
flouted it. The corpse of the
king melted as water.”
When Nigerian Tribune visited
some food vendors in Kuta
and demanded to eat pounded
yam, the responses of the
operators were uniform as they
said nobody ever dares sell
pounded yam in the town.
One of the food canteen
owners, Mrs Kehinde Nafiu,
who spoke with the Nigerian
Tribune said, “we don’t sell
pounded yam here at all. You
can never find any food seller,
who will pound yam to sell in
our community because it is a
taboo, which nobody no matter
how highly placed can
disregard.”
According to her, “I sell rice,
beans, fried plantain, amala,
eba. But, as regards pounded
yam you are talking about, I
dare not sell it because it is a
strong and fearful taboo in
Kuta.”
Similarly, 85-year-old Pa
Samuel Makinde, stated that “it
is true that people do not sell
pounded yam and fried
groundnuts here in Kuta.
These are taboos that I grew
up to meet. Though, I don’t
know what informed them, but
our people will never dare to
flout them.”
