So why is egwusi/egusi not in your dictionary in place of elili/enini?

😂

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


You mean Yorubas own egusi yet they left it to pitch their tent with ewedu?

The way Efik and Calabar prepare Afang is the way Igbos prepare egusi and the way Yorubas prepare Ewedu.

No dey whine yourself

Slytiger:
You can see the guy arguing with ancient dictionaries that have been posted. Ibo people would soon start claiming Femi as Ibo name in the near future 😂

Cosbyrich:


Wonders shall never end.
Igbos that started eating Egusi When they tasted it in Yorubaland are trying to claim it.
Na wah o.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


Where is it from?

FOOTSOLDIER2:
People asking egusi na igbo soup, Shey the name "Egusi" sounds like Yoruba or Hausa to your ears ?


I'm from Kaduna state but you people will always jealous Igbos

Dsimmer:





Lol. It's the manipulation and misappropriation of facts I don't even like. Same way how some of the Igbos keep playing the victim over the civil war but forgot they were the wicked ones who started the whole thing in the first place by killing other regional leaders except the Igbos while they destroyed Nigeria's true Federalism. Not only just that, they wanted to steal other people's territories which weren't theirs after they asked for secession because the North retaliated the killing of their leaders in North by killing every Igbos in the North. Thus the Igbo asked for secession however in their evilness, they wanted to steal other people's territory heritage in addition. That was when the Yoruba joined the war because Yoruba territory was involved in the nonsense.

Basically, their wicked nature made them kill other people's leaders while they destroyed Nigeria's true Federalism.

Secondly, in their covetousness, they wanted to steal other people's heritage.

So why play the victim when you're the evil one to begin with?

On the second post, of course ewedu is a delicious lovely soup as seen below. Aside it's delicacy, it's medicinal.

On egusi, egusi is a Yoruba soup as its name implies, which is Yoruba name. "Egun si" in Yoruba means to Shred to add. It's an Orunmila's soup as a matter of fact.

Igbo don't have much soup to begin with. They were found eating Human flesh and leaves at the time they were found in the forest, thus, food varieties were introduced to them. Most of Igbo few soup today was got from several tribes. Egusi was got from the Yorubas, even as the names implies. As a matter of fact, it's an Orunmila's soup.

Also, Apon seeds don't grow in the southeast but rather in the rainforest. No where they could have seen Apon seeds to make ogbon lo. Apon seeds was introduced to them but they couldn't pronounce it, thus pronounced it as ogbon which has no meaning in Igbo language as a matter of fact. "lo" was added which probably means slimy in Igbo language, although it means "to grind" in Yoruba language.. Thus Apon was meant to be grinded "lo", which was later pronounced as ogbon lo by the Igbos.

Igbo also copied some soups from SS. That's all. All these were introduced to the Igbos in a bid to civilise the Igbo who were found eating Human flesh. In fact, Ajayi Crowther was part of those who introduced these foods to the Igbos. Naturally, that's Yoruba culture. People who are sick/unwell are first given varieties of food to eat in Yoruba culture. That's the first treatment administered by IFA. And that was exactly what Ajayi Crowther (who's a core Oyo) did for the Igbos at the time, in a bid to stop the cannibal Igbos from eating Human flesh. Igbo got egusi, Apon, Iyan, Garri, eba etc from the Yorubas. All the names are in Yoruba names.

Still don't understand why Igbo are trying to claim Egusi soup.

EreluRoz:
Egusi sounds more yoruba

ReacherSaidNoth:
And you wonder why other tribes have a problem with you people . What is the point of this claim you cannot backup?

Bulldozer90:
What of Okro, Ogbono ,Onugbo soups and Ofe akwu? They are popular Igbo soups as well.

Let me give you a tip. Any soup that has either Ogiri or Okpeyi as it's major seasoning ingredient is an Igbo soup. This is the case with the soups I listed above including the one listed by the op.

Oga Igbo don't own banga soup.

It's from the people of delta and Edo.. predominantly urhobos



Who is inferior sir? The Igbo civilization that boast of having the most popular delicacies in Africa or the Your SW race that is trying to culturally appropriate Igbo delicacies and culture?

Which ingredients of Egusi soup is associated with Yorubas? Is it Ugu, bitterleaf, Okpeyi, Achi or Ukazi?

Today you mock Igbos as Akpu munchers, the next day you claim it's not of Igbo origin.

benebaby77:


Egusi is actually a Yoruba and also Yoruba soup.

It is not about jealousy, it is about getting the facts right...

VIKTO83:





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

seunayantokun:

We don't have to run away from the name because it didn't originate from them. History of the crop and scientific studies on it do not give it to them. The crop belongs to West Africa with different names but egusi as a name is local to us. I have not said they don't have it too but we didn't borrow it from them. It's one of the ancient crops in Yoruba land and in many other parts of West Africa.

Ok I get it

D ibo girls like me cos dey won't date morons like u, right?



🥵

waternogetememy:
LUGARD PUTTING YORUBA TO SHARE COUNTRY WITH IGBOS IS TO BENEFIT BOTH THEM AND HAUSA.


THESE TWO GROUPS HAVE NOTHING.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND EAT POORLY TOO.


INSTEAD OF THEM TO BE GRATEFUL, THEY ARE NOW CLAIMING TO HAVE IT ALL.


IMAGINE YORUBA CLAIMING EGWUSI SOUP.


IS THAT NOT VERY FUNNY?

Princewell2012:

The day I mistakenly requestd for egusi soup in Yoruba canteen, honestly after eating I nearly throw up.

remsonik:
I went home to celebrate Easter and grandma prepared egusi soup for me,see let me tell you egusi belongs to the yoruba people. It originated from the SW states and I can tell you egusi can be used to make many stuffs by us
Now let me ask you can igbos make ewedu elegusi,robo elegusi,alapa. Even all this talk talk that igbos make soup most in nigeria I don't believe, go to calabar and all the SS states and see many of their precious delicacies that igbo people copied.
I wish to visit calabar soon honestly, their soups are the best

TRUTHaDDICTED:
You should have started your argument by mentioning Egwusi in your local dialect.

Alexis11:


God bless you.

The soup belong to West Africa but we won't pretend Egusi is not a Yoruba word just to make Igbos feel good.

seunayantokun:

Let me also add that even what they call ogbono is not only an Igbo thing, but, my opinion is it has only been popularised by them: they don't solely own it. It is called àpọ̀n in Yoruba. My guardians who never lived outside our villages in Osun State used to prepare it once a while and fed me and other children with it. Àpọ̀n is derived from òro fruit. There are varieties of òro and we were taught how to identify the ones whose seeds are best for our àpọ̀n soup. Have you ever heard a Yoruba saying that goes thus: 'ẹ jáwọ́ ni àpọ̀n tí kò yọ̀, ẹ lọ gbé omi ilá kaná'? Because drawing àpọ̀n shows good quality. Someone can even insult you if your face is squeezed and stern this way: ' A bí ojú dídì bí í ọbẹ̀ àpọ̀n'.
We prepared it in our own way and would certainly add egusi to it. There is no kind of swallow it would not make a fantastic experience.

Raf4:


And you believe that it's only ewedu soup that Yoruba have? At what point did egusi become igbos' soup because you don't even grow melon in igboland. How come you're claiming ownership of what you're buying from other land 🤔

Are you pulling these facts from thin air?
