Probz: How is using broom [never been used on the floor ]to cook unhealthy or abnormal? In Edo, broom is also used to stir soup or fry Garri to avoid them from burning. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Ijaya123: They use broomsticks. Not all but more than is non-concerning. You know they do. I know all about the variations of what Yorubas call ewedu (heck, it’s a thing in Nsuka). But the Yoruba way of making it is by-far the worst. Stick to the stew part of it if you’re not going to cook the greener stuff properly. No-doubt the leaves are healthy enough but that doesn’t amount to as much as it could when the general standard of cooking it among S.W. Nigerians is very poor. One can survive on onugbu, afang, Ekiti egusi (even) , Delta egusi pepper soup or, indeed, oha indefinitely but with ewedu you’d likely die of malnutrition after under a week. Let’s be real. Ewedu isn’t a soup. Not a rightly-called one or one that looks appetising in the least. It just looks like someone’s puked up that extra-green fried rice that that vlogger cooked up the other day, mashed it to a pulp and added stone. The way it’s made, notwithstanding the general health benefits of the leaf itself, just isn’t nutritious or palatable to the average Igbo man or woman. The more east-southerly a Nigerian’s origins are (starting from Osun and ending in southernmost Akwa Ibom), the higher the standards they tend to have when it comes to soup. Ewedu (the way it’s made by Yorubas who do it) might be okay for some Yorubas, Hausas and Edos but for a Calabar person or Anambra Igbo who’s used to akpu and onugbu-egusi/ukwa nni-ji and ofe oha, it simply won’t do. Not good enough and not by a long osu-chalk (which is better off used for some okazi-and-ugu egusi-binding). You know it isn’t so why are we even having this conversation? No-doubt Yorubas are good at cooking rice and a few other things but when it comes to soup I’d only single out Ondo, Ekiti and chunks of Osun as being anything close to good. The rest are utterly hopeless. 1 Like |

Jeon: That better-not be where the witch-stereotype comes from. Black soup is sha lit (from a health-perspective anyway), and so’s their dried stew made with more groundnut oil (I feel like Edo people have a very particular way of making stew, and it’s very correct) and kpomo. As for the broomstick shiz, what if you ingest a splinter? And in any case, do you not think that someone somewhere in Oyo hasn’t used it on the floor at some point and picked it up to stir emergency ewedu (at the very least)? What’s wrong with an actual whisk? 1 Like |

Probz: And if I may ask you, why are you having self-induced migraines over Yoruba people’s soup? Did anybody put a gun to your head to eat it or the people who are eating it came to lodge a complaint with you? Moreover, the Ęgusi you mentioned in your post also belong to the Yorubas. I’m trying to understand the obsession here. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Ijaya123: Anyway, I’m trying to understand the obsession some jealous people have with underplaying the quality of Igbo soups (like them or don’t like them; that’s not the point), so I’m adding my own. I’m taciturn in my speech and prolix in my writing. That’s just how it is. Why are people having migraines over the fact that Igbos sabi a good soup-thickener in egusi, yam, cocoyam, ofor and achi (etc.)? What’s their own on a thread about oha soup? Egusi belongs to Yorubas? You’re a funny one indeed. I know what you’re going to say about the word egusi specifically being passed on to Igbo only through Igala (which admittedly makes sense because it’s Anambra and Enugu Igbos who use the word egwusi dialectically the most; in some Imo and Abia tongue-nitty-gritty niches it’s called something different) but that doesn’t mean that the soup itself, whether you wan. call am, isn’t as native to Igbos as it is Yorubas, Hausas, Tivs and Ibibios. The seeds are planted, grown and cooked all over West Africa for God’s sake. No one ethnic group in Nigeria has monopoly on that but the fact remains that the various Igbo ways of making it are better-liked than most of the corresponding Yoruba ones, and argue with that all you like but you know the truth deep-down. Admit it, don’t admit it. That really isn’t my problem. The word okra itself is derived from the Igbo word okwuru (okwulu/okwuru-npiene) but that doesn’t stop Yorubas from having their own equivalent/s, ila (the best of-which comes from, you guessed it, Ondo), or much of Old World tropics and places between Africa and India using it for centuries before the more universal name for it happened to be christened by one particular language. Does that mean Yorubas didn’t know ila until the name okra/okro went mainstream? Likewise, the whole of Nigeria knows ogbono as just that (Edos and some Igalas value it more than most Igbos; at least one Umuzocha, Awka, village has ogbono as its prized staple and as far as I know that’s the extent of its value beyond the fact that it’s just a convenience-thickener that pairs well with okro) but in Yoruba (at least one particular dialect) it’s called apon, yet it ogbono was being talked about as exclusively an Igbo soup you’d probably be in here reminding us that it’s called apon in Yoruba and was used among you people before the name ogbono per-se became mainstream. Some ignorant Yoruba people with a very myopic, tribal self-aggrandising way of seeing Nigeria even claim ogbono as their invention, forgetting that the very name literally comes from Igbo and that most Nigerians are talking about Igbo ogbono when they talk about ogbono, not apon-trash. I’m trying to understand the obsessive jealousy here. What I’m also doing is stating it as it is rather than letting my thinking be biased by sentient tribalism. I’m not that kind of person but that Igbos have more variety of traditional food and soups than Yorubas there’s no doubt, even if you try so hard not to admit it or are the kind of person who’d re-elect Tinubu over Obi. I’m not just saying that because I happen to be Igbo. Gin’s calling my name now so buh-bye. If you still want to find something to argue about, just know that you’ll be arguing with yourself and that is not the sanest way to spend a Friday evening. Nor am I the sort of person to get into a silly tribal argument with. I fight fire and brimstone and I win, because unlike some I actually know what I’m talking about. And I’m not looking through a myopic insular lens to big up any one tribe. I’m way beyond that. I’m very anti-tribalism but I’m also anti-wilful sentient ignorance. And don’t you dare claim as purely Yoruba an egusi that you’ve learnt from Igbos to cook with ugu of all vegetables (Igbo word for a green vegetable which doesn’t even grow further West than Delta State). Tribalism won’t kill us-die (TWKUD) but it’s to the detriment of Nigerians’ awareness of stuff in general. Always looking at everything through a very insular tribal point of view. 1 Like 1 Share |
