We all know that food is very important to humans however there are rules guiding against eating some. https://www.akinblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/IMG_7763-696x522.jpg While some of these rules are personal, some others are based on traditional and cultural, and the people in that society are forced to carry out these rules which are considered Taboo. Without further ado, here are 10 foods that are considered taboos in various Nigerian tribes: 1. Ogbono - Asaba In Asaba, Delta state, It is considered taboo to eat and sell Ogbono. Ogbono is mostly used in Asaba for spiritual purification. 2. Ram - Asaba In Agbor city of Delta State, The people are forbidden from eating ram. They are also advised to distance themselves from where it is being cooked. 3. Yam - Igboland The Igbos are not allowed to eat old yam during the season of new yams. In this season of Iri Ji, old yams left are thrown away. 4. Bush Meat - Nnewi In some parts of Nwewi in Igboland, it is forbidden to kill and eat bush meat.
