Yoruba own egusi.

Ibo dictionary below says it's a loaned word from Yoruba.

see finishing

Raskimonojendor:

Egwusi is a corruption of the Yoruba word egusi. Ibos dumped their own word enini or elili. Same way they are dumping their region for the SW

You can't even happily celebrate with them but you must bring your useless tribal bashing into everything.
Guy are you sure you're mentally stable? This your obsession is turning into something else

adamusuleiman1:

Nice outing. I see they thoroughly enjoyed themselves despite all the hate and anger that was directed their way by tribalist ibos. Some tribalists were even saying they would give IPOB'S UGM the location of the Amala celebration. The fools should hide their face in shame.

Let's be honest, tribalism is the forte of the Yorubas though you guys try to pretend it's not. Your clannishness is the reason you keep supporting useless leaders
Even Sanusi, a northerner, knows this

Egwusi na Yoruba and una no sabi prepare am well lol..

See as you dey disgrace yourself online.

BeigJawnson:


Go and learn more about your tribe and language... And stop forming lecturer taking the course of Egwusi101

You go explain tire.. your people don't even know how to prepare the soup.

I don't know which tribe owns egusi oh... But I can't lie that Igbos cook it better.

Yorubas should just hold amala and ewedu... Which is also one of my favorite.

BeigJawnson:

Check this

Oga Igbo invented that particular soup, what ever name we chose to call it shouldn't be your problem. Una dey drag soup wey una no sabi cook tufia!

SmartyPants:


You don't have to care you just need to have common sense to get the simple point. You can't that Egusi originated from one particular place when it is widely eaten both within Nigeria and across West Africa.

If you insist, simply present the evidence. Simple.

We are talking about the soup not other edible stuff you can prepare with it. It's you that needs the common sense, not running from pillar to post instead.

Sleekfingers:



You must be clown for saying igbo own Egusi soup. Go and say that to an ijebu people, if dem no go use plank reset your flat skull.
We prepare plain okra soup accompany with obe ata, Is Ila alasepo ( mixed okra soup) na igbo soup too? Each tribe have different ways of preparing okra soup. Abi, na only southeast okra dey grow?

Imagine illa and ijebu soup yuck 🤮

we igbos love Amala. and we dont want to claim it. we know how to enjoy other peoples culture without claiming it. unlike some people who cant stand the fact that igbos invented egusi

We are all talking about soup. I said they eat theirs with rice instead of swallow. That doesn't make it less of a soup. In Gambia they eat soup with rice generally.

benuejosh:
They came to Lagos and learnt about another food called Amala. Garri (Eba) will have breathing space now.

LoL. See this guy from Oshogbo dey talk about Lagos like say na there he from.

Odehh

Learn how to read a simple sentence . I never said, they mix ila and egusi. Ijebu Egusi soup is a native soup, prepare only with egusi.
ila alasepo is mix okra soup, prepared with fresh seafood or any kinda of dried fish, excluding egusi.....
Is that simple enough for you now?

Egusi is a west africa cuisine, doesn't belong to ibos.

A 1 canopy backyard cookout of 20 people caused all of this noise? How many Yoruba people are eating Egusi as I type this?

You're so ignorant. Yoruba people eat more egusi than any tribe in West Africa. You hardly prepare okro, ewedu that would not be combined with gbegiri, water leaves , Indian spinach, coco yam and almost all other vegetables without putting egusi. Egusi soup is common in Yoruba land that it's given a name , OSHIKI when cooked alone. And nobody cooks hibiscus fruits ( ishapa) without egusi. You people are so ignorant , bigotted and cheap-minded that you glory in all manner of frivolities..

LOLZ. Enugu is so full of cemeteries that there's even no place to establish a good eatry where the most nutritious and delicious food is sold, except a cemetery : thanks to Ekpa and his Ibo-killer gang.

lol, is egusi igbo food?
I dont think so?

No be Igbo get Egunsi.
Egunsi is never Igbo word have been saying this for years on this forum. You were born and raised listening people calling it "Egunsi" for the meaning of Egunsi to be completed you must not remove the "n" Ugwu" is not Yoruba even though Yoruba people call it Ugwu.

femi4:
You didn't event Egunsi. The name itself is Egunsi not Egusi.

It was derived from its shape cos it looks like Egun (thorn)

Dialectal variant. Egusi isn’t even particular to just Nigeria.

Some people will die a million times on this thread...

femisplash:

It is sheer ignorance when they say Egusi is ibo. Egusi is the word that is commonly used and it is a yoruba word. However, the preparation of yoruba egusi and ibo egusi is quite different.

Very true.

Oga Igbo invented that particular soup, what ever name we chose to call it shouldn't be your problem. Una dey drag soup wey una no sabi cook tufia!

Lol... Igbos invented what? And you igbos borrowed the name from the yorubas?... I can't laugh .... Well as for me, you are right cos is it your damn opinion. But for me, yorubas invented it....

socialjustice93:


You go explain tire.. your people don't even know how to prepare the soup.

So you think cooking a good food or soup is based on tribe? You are just a kid if this is based by tribe with your thinking... Lol

This fact has just make you look stupid and foolish here... Una dey drag our soup, yet una still dey borrow egusi enter una language... Are you normal?

Probz:

I just told you the correct name. Same way you called/misspelled boli (roasted plantain) as bole, miss pronounced Aṣọ̀ ẹbi as Asebi and spell MoinMoin as moimoi

In yoruba land, these names don't just exist, they have source and meaning where they are derived from. Hope you know that Yorubas exist outside Nigeria

Oga shiiii! Igbos own Egwusi soup. I don't know why you guys hate giving credit to the good things invented by Igbos. Very soon una go wan claim our Ofe Okwuru(okro) join. Lol he say na West Africa cuisine.

They invented it in which year?

Small hang out was held in Enugu, no outrage.


If an Igbo food hang out held in Yoruba land they would say igbos want to take over

Morphinne:

This is another blatant lie and you are ultimately confirming or rather rephrased what your kinsmen were claiming earlier after you realized they were very wrong.
They earlier claimed that egusi was invented by the ibos—an erroneous claim that was later busted because egusi in Igbo language is not even called egusi but eliri (I’m not sure I got the spelling right) and many other igbos confirmed it to be a borrowed word.
It’s very wrong to say you invented a particular food that is and was being eaten by a vast number of people across different cultures and races and mind you, other tribes are only being defensive here because your kinsmen started this claim as a result of their shameful insecurity and low self-esteem because in Yoruba land and so many other regions, nobody would be mad or give a f*uck over other people’s decision to host a hangout celebrating Oha soup and Apku in the heart of Oyo or Kaduna. I won’t feel threatened over the plan of a group of youths to celebrate tuwo shinkafa or fura di nunu in Lagos or Ile Ife in Osun and in fact, I and many of my tribesmen would gladly join in celebrating with them without harboring the slightest of hate.
The events that preceded this very amala hangout is shameful to say the least. Why are you people pained Chinedu? I was even concerned about the safety of the people who would attend the gathering. Come on, ibos could have done better, It’s just an ordinary food, it doesn’t bite na

Why did quote me to type nonsense ?

By God. The illiterates have taken over.

This one's IQ is so low that he says Yoruba own Egusi since everyone is using an apparently Yoruba word to describe melon.

Jeez. Where do they find these people?
