Konquest:You've done a good job, but let me add that the actual Yorùbá word for fluted pumpkin is Apìwòròkó or Wòròkó for short. Also, ṣọkọyọ̀kọ̀tọ̀ or ṣọkọ for short is a different vegetable which grows like the amaranthus (tẹ̀tẹ̀). The fluted pumpkin is a climber whose seed can also be grinded and used to make soup like ẹ̀gúsí. I understand that some people even boil the seed and eat it like a nut. So, ewé wòròkó which the Igbo call ugwu is also common to other ethnicities like the Yoruba. But I would give it to the Igbo, the Efik, and other southsouth people groups for making it popular, due to certain factors. 2 Likes 1 Share |

seunayantokun:@Seunayantokun, Thank you for the heads-up. I like the succinct way you've stated things in your post. "Ewe Woroko." I'll do the needful right away. Thanks again! |

Tdotbluejays1:Can you just imagine that? Thanks for emphasizing on this and uploading it. How can some young Ibo people online be so dishonest to start claiming ownership of a word which historically belongs to Yoruba folks. Egusi was even listed in the 1843 Yoruba-English dictionary long before the first Ibo dictionary of 1888 by Bishop Crowther. It's clear that Egusi soup has been eaten by Yorubas for centuries. 3 Likes

benebaby77: Check the author of that piece. He or she is Yoruba. Even Okro (Okwuru) is an exclusively Igbo name. The word Okro was derived from the Igbo word Okwuru, nowhere else is the word found. I have a PhD, so I can detect publications that are riddled bias and untruisms. Egwusi is not yoruba, it is Igbo and it is made with Ugwu leaves. Yorubas don't historically eat Ugwu leaves. Igbos took the soup to Yorubaland, whose main staple soups were Ewedu, gbegiri, efo and ila soups.. 5 Likes 1 Share |

FOOTSOLDIER2:You are NOT a well informed person. The attached screenshot below is taken from the Longman dictionary of English-Ibo which CLEARLY states that Egusi is a Yoruba word that Ibos loaned! The ORIGINAL Ibo dialectic words for melon seeds are Elili OR Enini in Ibo and NOT Egusi. The FIRST ever 1843 Yoruba dictionary (which can be downloaded for free online) CLEARLY lists the word Egusi and it truly shows that Egusi is Indeed a Yoruba word and Egusi soup has been in existence for centuries among the Yorubas. 1 Like 1 Share

Omoawoke:It's indeed time to start collating the etymologies of Yoruba words and indeed, words from other ethnicities so that this kind of irritating situation doesn't occur again were the young generation of Ibos online do NOT even know about aspects of their cultural history and have to blatantly resort to poaching or laying claims to a Yoruba word and cuisine (which even Ibo scholars have CLEARLY stated in the Longman Ibo dictionary that EGUNSI (EGUSI) is a Yoruba word which Ibos loaned to create the word Egwusi). Elili and Enini are the primary Ibo dialectic words used for melon seeds. It a big shame on all the dudes behind this disinformation. 1 Like 1 Share |

Egusi is a Yoruba word How is it originated from Igbo tribe? White Soup (Afia Efere Ebot), Afang soup, Editan soup, Abak soup, Atama soup and Edika Ikong soup are soups prepared by the calabar people. Afang soup is a technical soup, most people still don't know how to get the exact taste of it. If it was easy to prepare, Igbo for claim that one too 😂 Shey you wan cook Editan mek you know wetin dey call cooking stress😂 my own na to buy the already sliced and washed Editan leaves o. Igbo wan fast claim the soups before the owners 😂 They like struggling things between themselves, especially land. 2 Likes

RevenuesBoost:when you lose arguement, you try to co-opt other ethnic groups into your senseless fight. Some of the ethnic groups will will be honest enough to tell you what they have was introduced by the Igbos. But pride and envy will never let you Yorubas acknowledge something that is not yours. You claim Egwusi soup, we give you facts beyond reasonable doubt that the soup is no where near Yoruba in origin. You start claiming it's not Igbo because it consumed across Africa, Africans tell you it was introduced to them by Nigerians. When you see you've been defeated claiming it, you start laying claims to the name. Lol pathetic people. Amala and Ewedu people that use stew to eat swallow want to claim better thing. I can bet you that if any other ethnic group lays claim to the soup, you would have backed their claim out of envy for Igbos. Tueh! 2 Likes |

waternogetememy: You guys have failed miserably again in trying to use Nairaland to reinvent yourselves. We know very well how you have began to use this forum to whitewash yourselves after Seun bent down for you guys and handed his forum to you. You think Nigerians are gullible to fall into your radio Biafra tier brainwashing that they used on you ? This topic normally would have been viewed as a honest or ignorant mistake but we know very well what your intentions are and that is to reinvent yourselves to be cultural bedrock of Nigerian cultures. This is coming after your failed Zionist reinvention of yourselves. The person that created this topic, the people that rushed in to comment and even the mod that pushed this to FP all knew what they were doing This topic was created in food section but most of the posters that backed the original fraud post are all very active on politics section pushing Ibo agenda . This your lame attempt will not fly . I am sure your success in decieving some idiots by pushing the fake Obi Messiah is what is making you guys go on overdrive to push your silly propaganda here towards reinventing yourselves into what you are not. It's asymmetric warfare and you have chosen the cultural sphere on Nigerians . 2 Likes |

Konquest: You don't know we are at full blown cultural war? These guys are desperately trying to launder themselves after their failed Jewish claims blew up in their face. FYI,the fake claims to Jewry was to get Nigerian Christians to worship them and also to give a cultural herritage to their backward primitive origins. They bullied Seun to handover his forum to them and ever since then they have been aggressively pushing lies and propaganda here. No aspect of our cultures and civilization is safe from these people . We are at full blown cultural war and that is why we must stand firm and educate the younger generations of their menace. 3 Likes |

Re: Igbo Soups All Nigerian Tribes Enjoy by Dsimmer: 9:59am On Apr 02 |
Sctests: Egusi is Yoruba name. Qed. Yoruba even has several delicacy varieties of it. It's an Orunmila soup as a matter of fact and it's a Yoruba name with several delicacy varieties of it. Qed. We deal in fact, not stupidity and fallacy. As for okra, Igbo simply called it okwuru because okra was the name introduced to the Igbo. It was introduced to the Igbos as okra but Igbo couldn't pronounce it thus pronunced it as okwurru. 1 Like |
