Some things that are food to some societies are not necessarily a discovery based on ingenuity but on situational conditions.

That is why Africans can "discover" that a leaf called "BITTER LEAF" is actually SWEET.
Not because they undertook any research, but because they were HUNGRY.
Prawns are a discovery
...This is also a discovery

The fact that you don't eat crickets shouldn't make you look down on those that do.

I understand the struggle to sound smart.

But unfortunately, the fact that I eat the wrong thing doesn't mean that I shouldn't talk about someone eating something wrong. Some things are wrong. Eating cockroaches, crickets, drinking piisss, etc., are people's cultures, but that doesn't mean it is right.

Okere doesn't mean prison in Urhobo, it's a name of a place where a prison (Okere Prison) is located in Warri.


Okere in Urhobo is that small edible frog found in ponds.
Go ask elders. I grew in the village bro. You are correct as well but in the village, you will hear e murho kpe okere. Meaning they took him to prison. If you didn't know, I just taught you then. Ask other Urhobos, nor come here dey drag wetin u nor know.
Frog means ogonro in my village.

It's called the LOCUST.
It is 1 among 3 creatures which God said they're wonderful.

Bible talks about it in Proverbs 30.
The conies are but a feeble folk, but they make their houses in the crags of the rock.
The LOCUST have no king yet go they forth all of them by bands.
The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in Kings Palaces......(a spider is inside every house in this world)

You should be the one to ask elders, you're just arguing blindly.

The fact that you grew up in the village doesn't mean you know everything. Secondly the fact that something is accepted by many doesn't make it right.


I repeat, Okere is not prison in Urhobo. The right word for prison in Urhobo is EGBA. Okere is like a house hold name in Delta that's why people have concluded it means prison.


If someone is taken to Sapele prison for instance it's wrong to say "e murho kpe Okere"

Meet ancestral Urhobo scholars to school you and not papa guys or yahoo papas.



As for the frog I didn't tell you frog isn't called OGORO in Urhobo, I was referring to another specie of frog found in ponds......That one is very small, it's like the size of a cricket. That one is is called OKERE. Go and confirm before arguing.

The founder of Urhobo language, I salute you. Nothing like arguing blindly. We are Urhobos but what you speak in your side of Urhobo may be different from what we speak in my side of Urhobo, that's what you should understand. Uvwondi is another name for prison in my side. I never claimed to have known it all, but you cannot teach me how we speak Urhobo in my community. If you ask anybody from my side, you will hear the same thing. Just accept that we speak slightly different, the Urhobo language. Thank you very much
