When Egusi turn Igbo food, the name alone is pure Yoruba.

E-gun-si simply a Yoruba word, grind and cook

VIKTO83:
What is Melon called in ur language? Egusi is Igbo name and so it tells u more about who's to claim ownership

And it's called Mbika in Congo. How can it be igbo, when it's all over west and central Africa?
Some of you are just self-absorbed.

Even ewedu that people think is exclusive to yorubas is eaten all over Africa under different names, did you know that?

Basic123:
Google

You didn't see Igbo dictionary posted there?

Egusi is a very general stew no tribe can lay claim to it.That is the fact.

Claim your faeces-looking oha in peace

What is egusi called in Igbo?
Egusi soup originally known in Igbo as Egwusi Soup is a popular IGBO dish in West Africa, particularly in Nigeria, Ghana, and some other countries in the region.

Yoruba women don't like misogyny. That's why.
Igbo girls rush Yoruba guys for the same reason and of course the Black mamba

I sha haven't eaten any of these soups from an Igbo person.

Na calabar I stay chop all these soups.
Ahh! No joke with calabar woman's cooking

I know that the name Egusi, belongs to the Yorubas.

So why is Igbo taking the praise?

I wouldn't be surprised if the foods are actually calabar food but cultural misappropriation is too much in Nigeria.

PureNigerDeltan:

Tdotbluejays1:
Yes it is.

Check out ancient Igbo vs Yoruba dictionary below.

God bless you for this.

Yoruba Dictionary - melon (Egusi)

Igbo Dictionary - melon (elili)

Igbos on Nairaland..., "Egusi is Igbo word" 😂

ehemwhy:
Egusi is not an igbo soup neither is it Yoruba
No tribe can lay claim to Egusi soup

Egusi soup actually belongs to Ghana.

Egusi is Ghana soup.

Egusi is not Igbo soup. Egusi doesn't belong to any tribe.

EreluRoz:
Egusi sounds more yoruba

Omoawoke:
Even the name is Yoruba.. Egusi… grind and cook
E-gun-si

don't mind them they want to grab everything by force

Melon soup is now Igbo soup?

Akwa cross don see shege from this small niche

Kingrshd3:
Let's confirm from PitObi if egusi is an Igbo food or not 🚭🚫

How did you brought Peter Obi into this discussion?

SmartMen:
You are ignorant and that ignorance is borne out of your lack of travel and interactions with other Southerners.

Ofe Nsala is not the same as what you call South South Soup. The only white soup i know from Delta state is Egusi Soup without palm oil and that’s what they call white soup over there.

It’s only Akwa Ibom people that have something close to Nsala but they are not the same.

igbos own Egusi soup, you might not like to hear it.

As far as Nigeria is concerned, only Igbos and Akwa Ibom people have variety Soups and they are the ONLY ones who should be debating soups in Nigeria.

The rest of you should go manage what you have.

Ask the elders around you, they will tell you the truth that the word Egusi is alien to igboland or at best a borrowed word.
Melon in Igbo language is called Enini or Elili.
Melon in Yoruba language is called Egusi or Egunsi. You can search online for Yoruba and Igbo dictionary.
It's only Yoruba that use egusi as addictive to other soup e.g adding egusi to ewedu, okro, ilasa, isapa and various vegetables.
Yoruba also use egusi for many things like snacks e.g. robo (egusi cake), alapa (roasted egusi to prepare a kind of moi moi) etc.

Holluwhakemmy:
stop claiming other tribe egusi not an igbo soup

So, which which tribe owns egusi if not Igbo?
Which tribe?
