Are you allergic to freshness (besides poor initial adaptation to any country other-than Nigeria) or something?

No be lie, especially akwa ibom and calabar.
I went to stay with my grand mom for 3 month in my village at akwa ibom. When i came back to lagos, even my mom was shocked when she saw me. I was looking fresh and chubby with my skin shining.

I was eaten fresh vegitables straight from the farm, snails in my soup whenever it rains heavily and steady fish. No place like South south

which tribe in Nigeria cook better plc

ewa26:
em what’s more difference between ibo and uruba mai moin, who cook I pass and why do you seem to so dislike yoruba did you have bad experience with yoruba girlfriend/wife

I don’t dislike Yorubas (not that certain of their traits don’t annoy the hell out of me) and I’m not even tribalistic like that. It’s just a fact that Yoruba people have a limited range of a certain type of culinary class (and what they do cook well is often marred with too-much oil and pepper) so it’s hard to regard them too highly when it comes to overall cooking. Ondo, Ekiti and certain parts of Osun (maybe) do the soups/ofe-equivalent soup thing a bit better (and between them there might-well even be some pepper soup thrown in for good measure) and Ondo really has quite a beautiful range of stuff (from asun to one of their chief cities’ take on okro-soup) but in a more broadly-generalised sense Yoruba people are good at cooking three things and three things only: anything to do with rice, beans (including akara and maybe moi-moi) and parties (owambe/S.W.-inspired wedding menus and whatnot are quite dope, and so’s asaro; efos aren’t ever too bad) and save-for what’s irrefutably Yoruba from that list those foods aren’t really even theirs. Other than the pocketful of communities on the Eastern borderline-periphery who can string-together a pot of egusi without breaking egg-yolks (who even does that?) and don’t treat amala like it’s holy manna their soups and foods like that just aren’t good at all. Igbos and south-southerners have a much better/sturdier overall range and style of cooking.

Ayamase-lite stews are amazing too obviously but they’re not lost under the rubric of rice, which is why I haven’t listed them separately. And they’re not even generalised Yoruba dishes, not originally (nor is ewa-agoyin, which is also pretty nice).

The ideal concretised conceptualisation of moi-moi (which is rather a complex culinary concept) between both southern majorities at-least is most-accurate when it’s cooked by Awka/Nsukka/Enugu-Ezike women, Igbos residing in Britain and young-to-middle-aged women (or clever bachelors) from certain parts of Yorubaland (bleached palm oil, duck fat, M.S.G., Oron smoked/roasted crayfish, roasted ehuru/nutmeg/mace, duck/goose/chicken liver and nchaunwu can play a certain profitable role in the cooking of mai-mai, by the way). There’s not much fundamental difference other-than the fact that Igbos tend to add more crayfish (or be more likely to add it at-all, even; as for Yorubas some do add crayfish, some don’t) and possibly slightly less red pepper in favour of tomato paste.

Igbos generally have the most refined well-known way of making and eating beans in Nigeria so moi-moi is the only staple between them that Yorubas (the ones who even sabi-cook elele, because it’s definitely not all of them who seem particularly interested in it, whereas most-to-all Igbo women take mai-mai seriously, cook it pretty well and even devote Saturdays to it) can do at least just as well. Yoruba akara and Igbo akara are exactly the same (other than the fact that the Yoruba, of course, will add more flaming oil for no reason).

And look, my love-life is none of your business. Do you get what I’m saying to you there?

Are we done?

You wrote nothing but bunch of nonsense here, you people have deep inferiority complex when it comes to Yoruba race that will always be superior to your kind ... What the Bleep does Igbo akara means? Akara, moimoi, Ayamase and many of the things you wrote here came from yoruba people, you people got it from them, there's nothing like Igbo akara and like you said yourself we Ondo people have a lot of soups you don't even know, same for the Yorubas across Benin Republic. Also egusi is not ibo soup,egusi is found across several countries in west Africa. To think that Yorubas can only cook 3 major foods show how myopic you are,you must really think Yorubas are just a 'tribe' present only in SW Nigeria huh? Just STFU and stop your misinformation.

You don’t like what I said, you don’t like it. A stranger’s projected inferiority-complex is not my problem.

Likewise there’s a lot about Igbo food you don’t know the first thing about. I’m not prepared to have that discussion with a/n myopic, insular little south-westerner but I have more seasoned Naija. experience from many angles than you could have in two lifetimes. I don’t talk crap just for the sake of being tribalistic.

And just know that the Yorubas of Benin and Togo-Republic are not my concern as far as this thread goes. We’re talking about Nigeria and-so I’m talking about Nigerian Yorubas. Don’t tell me you’re so desperate to clutch at straws that you want me to stretch my conceptual wings that-far.

ewa26:

Gee, I dunno. Their funny superiority-inferiority complex against Igbos, their myopic and ignorant ways and the way they often get so caught-up in the fun of it that they sometimes claim foods that aren’t theirs (ogbono for one; if you like draw-soup, call it apon and leave ogbono-proper for Igbos).

That’s the annoying ones. Many of my closest friends/our family-friends are Yorubas in different shades but outside of that they do often have some toxic traits. And that just doesn’t wash with me because being a seasoned so-and-so who’s very keenly-aware or the effect the Biafran war had and the retributive ingenuity (which is unparalleled within Africa) that sprung from it I’m very anti-Igbo-ignorant Nigerians. I really can’t be doing with people like that but like I say it’s not all or even the great majority of Yorubas. Just the ones that like to be stupid and act like other than their opposing ethnic-group who they see as a threat (Igbos) the whole world revolves around Yorubaland and Yoruba people.

I’ve just been through that BanyXchi’s posts and apparently he’s jealous of the fact that Igbo men (who he refers to as osu flat-heads; so unbiased and strikingly non-tribalistic) have been said numerous times to have a better idea of how to be a successful husband than Yoruba men (many of-whom are known for not keeping it in their pants and generally cheat more), along with other stuff that can only make you assume that he’s a son of a wilful Igbo genocider from 1967. I think that says it all.

you don't even know me and you're already talking about your 9ja experience, sorry i don't chestbeat on a anonymous online forum... I responded because I saw your myopic views about Yoruba food, you claimed they can only cook certain foods which is just a foolish thing to say because the Yoruba ethnic group is large, we are not a landlocked dot nation.

He asked for it. If he wants a Yoruba-Igbo e.-fight he’s come to the right person.

The difference is I’m not actually wrong in what I’m saying. He’s just getting irate because he’s such a God-darn flaming tribalist who doesn’t want Igbos to be great.

I’m outta here, man. I’ll see you around, yeah?

Yeah…

Davido is not a full-blooded yoruba guy and he's a celeb for God sake, he's not really deep into yoruba culture. It's delusions of grandeur to think Yoruba women are running after anambla men whose women are actually running to Yoruba men, the average yoruba woman is conservative and will never date out into your culture due to stereotypes about Ibos in Yorubaland... It's very rare to see Yoruba women marrying ibo mwn, they don't even like your culture or go to your region, it's your women that likes Yoruba men. I've never seen any Yoruba 'flock' to ibo canteens why tf are you coming up with lies? Again it's very myopic of you to think it's 'amala after amala', you are a very deluded ipobian, I'm sure you're the type of chukwudis that think you are Jewish

Probz:
Is that why Davido’s smitten by Chioma, Yoruba women are running to Anambra men and Yoruba people in-general flock to Igbo canteens/restaurants in Lagos? Do people really want to eat amala after amala (not that it’s that bad) when mama Ngozi next door has neatly-garnished isi-ewu, correct egusi with ukazi and onugbu leaves (not egg-yolks as a base), small chops, coconut-fried rice and abacha-ncha ready for people to chop whenever they like?

Until I get a serious response from you that isn’t poisoned with a dangerous amount of tribalism and anti-Igbo sentiments this conversation’s definitively stopped being mutual. Yeah?

Just know, so, that every ethnic group (not tribe - if anything’s primitive it’s the use of that term) has unique strengths and weaknesses and with a decent holistic compass that’s not too jaded by mistreatment or tribalistic memories we stan for them when they’re doing well and re. what they naturally excel at. But when you get people like you coming here to tell us that one ethnic group is full of osu off-shoot paranoiacs and tell blatant lies about their sociocultural-interpersonal relations and facets it’s obvious who’s being serious and who isn’t. People like you spoil it for the good Yorubas and make it sound like Igbos hate Yorubas as a whole. We don’t (we love the ones we love). We just hate the ignorant, tribalistic ones. But like I said we’re done. All this ‘erm I don’t like what you. saying so ima prove myself to be a bloody tribalist and make disgustingly-inaccurate remarks which we all know come from a hobbit’s inferiority complex (that one ain’t me)’ business is very badly-reflecting on gi.

Monaboo:
Someone I know, an Igbo lady married a Delta guy.

She had to learn how to cook this Ukodo food.

She now cooks it perfectly well.

She even likes eating it.

But I doubt if I will like this food o.

I think I would prefer ripe plantain if I decide to it eat this.

But well, never say never. Let me keep an open mind.

Lol..try it with yam and goat meat peppersoup... U will praise the Lord
