Seems Igbo have so many different names for this Ibepe fruit........Most Ibos in my area called it Ibepe in accordance to the Yorubas.........

I don't think I've ever heard of any local name papaya [popularly called pawpaw] is known by.

Does it have a name in your language?
If it does, what is it called?
I'm here to learn.

In Ghana we call it Gwanda in Hausa and Bofre in Twi and Akan languages
