If you're in search of the fruit of the womb, maybe after from to years plus after marriage, please go and look for OWHO SOUP (No 1 fertility booster)with starch.

HOW IT WORKS
It opens up blocked Fallopian tube, and add motility to the sperm cell, by moving it to come face to face with the woman's egg, then fertilization will ordinarily take place. Try it and come back with a testimony.

The eyes eats before the mouth


If it's not pleasing to the eyes

The mouth should also reject it

Owoh soup cancelled
You are very correct, the soup is one of the most ugliest soup after ewedu..... Not very pleasant to the eyes....

Delicious delicacy, unlike the green urine celebrated in the western flank of the country.

Only South South and probably South East have culinary skills in this country.
Re: "The Myth Behind Owoh Soup" by blowjohn(m): 4:55pm On Sep 12, 2025
Okra soup with turkey or local chicken and catfish combo is bad.

Chai!

With fufu or eba O!

Omo

Good day my fellow Nairalanders...Hope y'all are doing well?

Omoh,so recently I had an argument with a very good friend of mine who hails from Edo state....It was all about which ethnic group has the best soup ........He firmly maintained that the "groundnut soup" of the great people of Edo state has more dominance over the "Owoh soup" of the great urhobo/isoko people of Delta state.....So I promised him I'd do my research very well and come back to him......And as well learn more about other ethnic groups in Nigeria cheesy

Well,Owoh is a very popular traditional soup that has always been in existence even before Lord lugard ever thought of almagamating Nigeria angry. Yes,you heard me right cheesy. It's widely popular among the urhobo/isoko people of Delta state......The myth behind this soup is that,it isn't just ordinary,as it can only be prepared by good cooks and it's eaten with great respect.........And besides it,comes with starch which is usually seen as a nice combo...

One funniest thing about this soup is that, without it,no traditional wedding among us,the urhobo/isoko people is seen to be complete because it is one of the major requirements from the groom's family to the bride's family.....It is indeed both spiritually and ancestrally inclined and induced in our customs and traditions that it is even believed that whenever it is eaten,our ancestors from both far and near come together and party to it's aroma cheesy

I once attended a traditional wedding ceremony where the marriage was almost abandoned and nullified by the groom's family simply because the brides family failed to entertain them with this Owoh soup.......The bride's family had to send someone out to go and look for any restaurant around where it could be bought,and it was done after so much apologies from the bride's family angry

Well, I'm only here this day,to showcase the uniqueness that surrounds my cultural soup and hope to also learn about those from other ethnic groups across Nigeria cheesy. My dear sister,caaz,it won't be nice if I fail to mention you here cheesy

please this thread isn't all about tribal bigotry and insults as I felt like it'd be a nice thing to share our cultural values with one another so to bring unity amongst us...... Please you guys should do the needful 🙏
He likes it a great deal. In Sapele he eats it daily with Garri. The periwinkles na major attraction.

My father is an Edo man and my mother is an urhobo woman.

Groundnut soup or peanut soup is an instant or let me say a soup that doesn’t take time to cook like that but Oghwo soup dem Dey plan am 😂

I love both soup and I don’t want to be biased

Oghwo soup is more expensive to cook than groundnut soup.

Sonnobax, you failed to share the ingredients of the soup.
What is the major base?

You know, like how we have cocoyam (ede) for oha soup.
Starch from Cassava. It's the thickener. And also the "swallow"

You prefer Afang, Atama, etc. probably because they are your native soup. However, that doesn't give you the right to refer to ogwho and banga soup as rubbish. Be guided
