I thought OP wanted to argue from the standpoint of nutrition, no need for arguments here.
From the nutritional point of view, bambala nut has more health value that beans.

Okpa aroma/smells alone is a turn of for me, while moi-moi aroma invites from afar... Like you don't know moi-moi comes in different classes of your income. Have you tasted fried moi-moi with accompanying various proteins before...?

Enugu okpa is good and tasty but have you been to Ekwulobia??

Go to Ekwulobia park or Eke Ekwulobia and eat Ntucha aka okpa aka Okpa ntucha.
Thank you.okpa ekwulobia is classic. Enugu okpa has nothing on it. That was what introduced me to okpa. Moimoi ekwulobia is also unique.

Okpa ekwulobia has loads of crayfish and is made with palm concentrate unlike Enugu okpa though, Enugu okpa( notably obeleafor people, don't know if I got it right) are the real face behind Enugu state okpa. Their red oil is the best in Nigeria. There is a reason why their red oil is the best. That's a story for another day.

Kai oga, I used to hear this alot, my friend travelled home to Enugu on his way back I kept reminding him not to forget my nsukka okpa cos he also used to hype it. I won't say it tastes bad, but just overrated, like someone up there said it's like comparing CR7 to Sancho.
Well compared to okpa you'll eat somewhere else, Enugu okpa is way up there.

Okpa over moi moi 100 times..

Moi moi especially the one that isn't hot makes me sick.


why would anyone say Okpa is tasteless..

such person should check his taste bud asap
Both are made from different ingredients and taste different. I don't see any point in comparison.
I love both dearly, but hot moi moi? It purges me.

I have been to Port Harcourt from Abuja

In every ibo city wẹ arrive at, I ate Okpa including Enugu, even the leaf one

It's tasteless, bland

✌️
Interestingly, I eat okpa because of that taste.

Okpa can easily be downplayed in favor of moimoi cos not everyone knows how to prepare it and it's also not as popular as moimoi.

Before making comparison, be sure to to have tasted that 9th mile ngwo corner okpa.

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
onitsha people add leaves and egg to their okpa sef

Okpa of nowadays is something else. I would say that moi moi is better because okpa is no longer what it used to be.

First few times image Okpa i didn't like it but after a while I got used to it.
Okpa are the kinds of food that you fall in love after a while ..it's hardly love at first sight because Okpa's taste is not garnished with ingredients like moi moi...


Without maggi, onions, palm oil and fish Moi moi will be totally tasteless unlike Okpa that is only has a bit of palm oil added to it and salt to taste.

Okpa is way more nutrional and healthier than moi moi....The Bambara not from which Okpa is made is considered the most complete food in the world.

Okpa is great for weightloss and also helps the gut health.

As a health enthusiast I will go for Okpa of course moi moi is also a healthy legume but Okpa all the way

Moimoi is more flavourful than okpa especially the ones made in leaves. The only thing okpa has over moimoi is that it holds the stomach for much longer
Why would anyone in his or her sane mind compares okpa to Moimoi… who does that? Okpa is an aspiring Moimoi that dropped out in primary school na.
Re: Opinion: Okpa Is Better Than Moi Moi by Sleekfingers: 9:04pm On May 05
Okpa is tasteless....tried it once , in the late 90's .....And I regretted eating it.....

Compare that tasteless Okpa with Moin moin is like comparing Sleep and death.

1. Moin moin elede
2. Moin moin eleyin
3. Moin moin eleja ( especially with smoked Mackerel) or with dried herring ( eja shawa)
4. Moin moin elepo
5. Moin moin olororo
6. Baked sardine moin moin

Hmmmm, before one can conclude, one should look at the nutritional value both can offer to the body, not just saying Okpa is better than moimoi.
Re: Opinion: Okpa Is Better Than Moi Moi by Iykenuwa(m): 9:47pm On May 05
As someone who loves both delicacies, here are the facts as I know:

1. Moin moin is tastier.
2. Okpa, once you fall in love with it, there is no going back.
3. Preparation of Okpa is far more complicated compared to Moin moin.

I have had Okpa bought for me all the way from Enugu/Anambra to Lagos etc, but I can’t consider doing same for Moin moin (maybe because the latter is more readily available).

No need for comparison, just enjoy both.

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
Now see the unnecessary complexity in your preparation of Okpa abi na OKPARA you won call am. MoiMoi or Oolele or Ole(do/do) is a straigthword but Highly Delicious Food especially if you Bombard it with Big Big Onions and use red oil (epo Pupa) and leaf to do the wrapping.

Woo, Stick with your OKPARA, tongue different.

Nsukka okpa saved my life in UNN then prior to graduation. There is this set of people that sells OKpa around Abuja building side/ the road that leads to Abuja building. Once I eat OKpa and coke, I am fit for the day hectic study.
