Really?
Can you enlighten us on why it's forbidden.

Even in Yorubaland, it has some strange peculiarities around it. It's not considered to be an ordinary food. It's mean for certain people that belong to the spiritual realm.

Anem...
And we have a saying im my place(Ibibio)...
"Umu dia gha anem, dia no inem aying ado."(Don't know if my written Ibibio is good) grin

The saying means..."Even if you don't eat Anem, eat it because of it's name. "

The Irony of the whole thing is that, "Anem" means something that's sweet. And we all know that this yam is usually bitter. So, if you don't eat it because it's bitter, eat it because of its name.
