Says who....

Tbvh with you,the first time I ate okpa was back then in Suleja, Niger state...Omoh,na once I spit am throway angry. The thing no too go well at all. .I prefer moi-moi to that okpa by far .
You chop ọkpa for Niger state that’s why you criticize it. Well, wait till you eat a well prepared ọkpa Nsukka. I eat Ọkpa almost every morning, because work don carry me go nsk.

Okpa is tasteless tbvh ,only good thing is that, it's filling .
You can eat it in the morning and not get hungry till late evening but for taste ,it's Zero and bland.

I'll only eat it to 'hold belle' ,I won't eat it when I have another option.
you never eat okpa special or okpa ordinary from enugu be that.

I ate Okpa at NYSC orientation camp, Awgu, years back. I made the decision never taste it again till I left Enugu state. It's a matter of what each individual is accustomed to.

Moi- moi is great there has been a lot improvements.

Enugu ọkpa remains the best ọkpa so far, the journey that moi- moi has been through ọkpa is yet to start.

If both are cooked using the basic ingredients (palm oil, pepper, Maggi seasoning, salt and crayfish) ọkpa wins. But the upgrades that moi- moi has experienced makes it more sumptuous.

I think Enugu folks should find a way to make ọkpa more interesting for non-Igbo folks.
Any ọkpa that was made with all those ingredients you mentioned no be okpa again.
Red oil, salt and pepper are the only ingredients for preparing okpa. Reason you need to eat one prepared by one who really knows how to make it.
Some people add crayfish and onions to okpa even here in Enugu and that’s rubbish

Moi-moi doesn't go down well with my system, it gives me running stomach if I eat more than one......So I choose okpa.
Re: Opinion: Okpa Is Better Than Moi Moi by adolfHitler1934: 1:33pm On May 05
Okpa is a rubbish food liked by the region where it came out from. There's nothing special about that stuff but there's something special attached to it.....poverty kind of food. No matter how you try to hype that shiitty food, it won't make any sense to people like me.
According to accounts from same people from the East, Okpa was discovered or became very popular during the civil war as a means of subsidiary of protein that was totally absent in foods that period. Awolowo used food blockade as a means of war then.....that was genocide and he ought to have been prosecuted. Wicked man. I pray that big bearded man, Ojukwu meets you that place you are.
Yes, as I was saying, Okpa is for poor people, although rich in nutrition, but I will never like it no matter what.
How can I like something that is prepared with just palm oil and salt, no spice. The worse is that when I ask why it's like that, people from the East will defend it that it is the only way to prepare it.

Rubbish!

There's a reason I don't use the word okpa,

I say enugu okpa, ikom okpa , if it's not done properly by an igbo woman I don't eat it,

Okpa is wonderful and yeah compared to moi moi I love it.

But nit everyone can prepare okpa or is qualified to.
Anyone who says it's bland has not had the opportunity to eat enugu okpa,

When I first ate okpa in CBQ it was the last time




You are Correct. You just said what is on my mind.

Since i came to Port harcourt, i have refuse to eat okpa, ever! Because it doesn't taste like Enugu okpa or Okpa Ekwulobia.

You guys and useless tribalistic behaviour.

Must you compare both. Eat your okpa in peace, while I eat my moi moi in peace.

Everything is always a means to compare for you all.

Bold old and small, sense no dey
Calm down. They're just comparing food. Moi Moi does not belong to any tribe.
Re: Opinion: Okpa Is Better Than Moi Moi by Theoarhics: 1:44pm On May 05
Eating okpa alone can satisfy you quickly unlike moimoi that you have to be looking for garri to eat.
Re: Opinion: Okpa Is Better Than Moi Moi by saintcasmir(m): 1:45pm On May 05
Well, in my own opinion, Moi Moi is far far behind Okpa in all ramification.
However, if you are used to all those things they rap inside nylon and label it okpa (especially outside South Eastern states), then you may want to say Okpa is tasteless

Everyone has their preferences, a common issue with most who sell okpa is they keep it till next day and for me if its not fresh I'm not buying
Re: Opinion: Okpa Is Better Than Moi Moi by flokii: 1:47pm On May 05
Nothing beats moi moi to be honest.. especially when it's prepared with leaves.
Okpa on the other hand is good too and filling, like you can eat 1 and be okay till evening but I prefer eating the baked bambara nuts they use in making okpa.

If it is yellowish, yes.
I don't understand all these reddish ones I'm seeing in Lagos.
Whether na the oil, I no no.

But living in Nsukka those days, it was always yellowish.
People selling okpa, chanting "Ọkpa dị ọkụ" all over campus and Ziks flat back then was badass.

It is only those who haven't eaten better okpa that would compare it to moi moi. That sh1t is far more nutritious and delicious compared to moi moi! It also doesn't cause stomach discomfort like moi moi.

Great meal!
