Most people usually use Lagos to determine Yoruba's. There are a lot of Yoruba soups that are not being prepared in Lagos, and those who often Yoruba people don't have variety of soups have not been to other Yoruba states.

There is nothing one wouldn't find on Nairaland's Front-page.

Only eforiro?
Does that even qualify as soup?

This man is funny.


I was born and bred in Yorubaland.
Baba,Yoruba no get soup..No vex

UHLmoving:
Apart from Efo riro, Gbegiri and Ewedu which other soup do Yoruba have?

Asking for a friend

It's quite risky to have just 3 soup options when you could have more than 10

Killerofpigs:
How do you make noise over what you claim to have.

Traveling around the SW, it's obvious that they don't have a rich variety of soups like the IGBos and the people from the SS region

Yoruba cuisine can be compared to Benin Republic and the North. In these zones everything they eat is bland.

Period

Putinofrussia:
You dey jealous Yoruba delicacies wey make some of you no go back to Igboland again.
lol
I know that all the Yoruba soup wey you know no pass ewedu

Honestly,the only Igbo soup I know is what we Yorubas call ila alasepo.
Any place you go to in Lagos Igbo canteen,they will serve you ila alasepo.

It is only online that I dey hear say Igbo have soup o.
If so,you dont have half of the soup wey Yoruba get.
That is why Yorubas are more intelligent and more successful.
Yes,because of their delicious soups.

Efo riro(different varieties gure, tete, shoko, ebolo), ilasa, ewedu, eku, gbegiri. What i grew up to know 'bout yoruba soups! Egusi, I don't bout the originality.

yommen:
I think you should watch the video again. He pointed out that even Yorubas are admitting your claim but he alighted the various soups and their Yoruba origin. Hardly was Lagos mentioned. I believe you were born and bred in Lagos like myself. Many of those soups mentioned actually have proverbs that mention them. Those proverbs weren't formed yesterday but 100s of years back which shows that we the younger Yorubas too are actually as naive as you strangers living among us.

I didn't reply you to make you change your mind actually but may be you should visit those places mentioned to see those things instead of you sitting in one place and making your assertions. Your assertions dont count though.

Gboom:
Let me add to your list of vegetable soup; Effirin (scent leaf), ewuro (bitter leaf), worowo, efo igba etc.

I don't know if they have soup o but what they have even the devil will not taste it twice. That's how during my service days when I was newly posted to Ota, I decided to go and have a taste of amala with that greenish soup that looks like baby poo.

I think everything was going well until midway into my meal tragedy struck. I was sweating so heavily due to how much pepper they added. Before I knew it, the need to immediate go to the toilet came upon me. I had to abandon my meal.

I rushed away from the restaurant looking for a public restroom to use. Non was available and it seemed I was going to defecate on my self. I felt like dying. After what seemed like an eternity, a nurse who noticed how uncomfortable I was, opened the restroom of a public health Care center there in Ota and I was able to get deliverance. Since then, anything yoruba I avoid.

Your diet consists of dried stockfish and yellow garri with akpu. You too are opening mouth. Do you even know how stockfish entered your pot?

All of them were introduced during the civil war when Biafrans ran out of frogs and lizards to eat.

Okrika was dropped at Okrika beach. It was dropped for free to Biafrans but unfortunately, Biafrans picked them and sold them to Biafrans.

Okporoko was sent as aid from Norway. It was the head being dried and sent to your fathers instead of being thrown away. Biafran soldiers were sleeping with married Biafran women so the women could take stockfish back to their families.

palm oil was introduced into garri as an urgent aid to cure keashiokor ravaging Biafrans caused by lack of Vitamin A, and tocopherol and tocotrienol antioxidants.

There is no history of Okporoko, Okrika and stockfish in Igboland before the Biafran war.

All this garbage because your fellow Yoruba admitted to your lack of native cuisines. Even his defence is a further proof to your lack of native soups. Okro and black soups he mentioned are native to Igbos and Edos respectively.

Eyah, this hate-filled soul is very angry to see that Yorubas get plenty soups.
To your disappointment, I only listed 'some' of the soups I've personally eaten, not 'all'. Not to talk about other soups I never ate before or the ones from other Yoruba ethnicity.
How is Okro/Okra an Igbo name or food?
In fact, in Yoruba, we don't call it the common 'Okro' name, we call it "Ila" and we have different types of Ila: Common Ila soup, Ila-Alasepo (mixed with stew), Orunla (dried and grounded Ila) and Abula (Ila with Gbegiri).
You better rest before you kee yourself with bitterness and hate.

Magnificenttop:
All you said are valid and I can't agree less.
Every tribe has it's negative sides but when it comes to toxicity, discrimination, bad mouthing, looking down on others, superiority complex and similar, these traits seem natural with Igbos, more like their reflex behaviour.

One thing is, nowadays, I try not to take some things to heart or be too offended. Where possible, I set the record straight and then put our differences behind for the sake of humanity and our black race/continent because against all odds, we just have to start loving and tolerating ourselves. We have to fix our BS as a race.

Magnificenttop:
Hate is in your DNA, the reason the thread shown so much hate on top ordinary soup matter and why you're here in my mention trying so hard to counter the soups I listed, earnestly wishing they didn't exist. Go easy on your bitterness. Yorubas have plenty soups or not, how will that help your life? Why so much fuss?
If you care, you can make findings on soups I listed to prove me wrong. Also, point out wherever I used different Yoruba dialects for the same soup, I'll be waiting.
At least, Yorubas have local name (ILÁ) for Okra/Okro asides the common/generic 'Okra' name everyone calls it worldwide. Yorubas further have different styles/recipe for cooking Ila.
But a boy who perhaps knows nothing about Okra asides it's common/generic 'Okra' name used worldwide is here claiming it's Igbo. How more ignorant and deluded can you be?
