This is my first time of hearing that.. I don't think so..

There is a wild weed called 'Awolowo' by the Ibos.

I can't remember the scientific name right now.

There is a plant called Akintola.
We are used to naming things after people probably whose name were generally known when that thing became common in the environment.
NOTE: It is not all parts of Yoruba land that adopts those names. It is called so in Ondo state but not in Ogun state.

It is true.
It literally means ojukwu brain or ojukwu head.

My grandma has many of such pot and that's what she calls them

Maybe because the pot are rugged and ojukwu is stubborn or literally ojukwus head is big,

Choi see that hot party jollof rice😋😋😋.

What's not adopted in Ogun state?Agbari Ojukwu and Ewe akintola is known and used in Ogun state,please stop saying what you don't know.

So, are you saying all Yorubas call it agbari ojukwu? Or Ewe Akintola?

There was one named after General Muritala too.

I remember one cloth material name after Maruwa too.... Those days we use am sew real senegal wey you use fold reach shoulder before you go use your hand eat swallow

If you look at it, it’s a compliment.

Agbari means brains

The pot cos it’s big is named that. It can simply mean Ojujwu had a big brain.

That is not the same thing he said what he said
Reading and Comprehension
Those terms are used in Ogun State
You can go to AJASE in Benin Republic and ask them whether they use those terms

I learnt those terms years ago not from Ondo

I suspect it is Ojuku and not Ojukwu I have heard those terms from women older than Ojukwu

Not a plant, but a "wild weed' that is used for reforestation and manure, same as "mucuna" beans, (not sure of spelling), as the leaves are shed regularly. It is so called in Delta and most South South states, not just Igboland.

I may be wrong in citing Ogun state.
My point is that it is not all states in South West that calls it that.
Those names should not be seen as insult but circumstantial.
Thanks.

...Lol...

The Yoruba’s are known to name thing after something that’s very common in the environment.

Even 20 naira notes is called muri,named after muritala who’s face appears on the note

Evidence pls

Ewe Akintola.

Back in the day, when you are bruised from playing football, your friends will grab a handful of that ewe, mash them between the palms and drip the resulting fluid on the injury.

I think it made such bruises heal quicker.

Can you imagine ajebo indomie generation going through that

Is the plant still around.

It was everywhere back in the day.

This is not agbari ojukwu but Koko irin. Koko irin simply mean metal pot

Yes we all used to call it Agbari Ojuku in the West. That’s its name. I even called it same yesterday and I am from Lagos.

The plant "AKINTOLA" is also well known in Kwara State and some parts of Lagos, e.g. Ikorodu to be precise.

It is often used to stop fresh open wounds from continuous bleeding. It also has other medicinal uses...

O se ori bi agbari ojukwu. The pot was shinny like ojukwu’s head. Like una no call yoruba - Yoruba Yoruba or Yoruba 😂

I don't care about the name, but the content inside is tempting

this is koko irin and not agbari ojukwu.

My point exactly. The leaf is everywhere but do all Yorubas call is by that name? Ewe AKINTOLA?
