Yes in igbo. Pepper fruit in English

Ndipe:
I think it is Nkarika in my language Ibibio

That is the name.

Freshandfitpod:
What is that? Have never seen Anything like this

you've seen probably the unripe ones which are greenish in colour. it's the pepper fruit.

Kyn4life:
Yes from Akwa Ibom, we have abundant of it most especially in the villages

That’s so true. So many memories there; it’s such a peaceful and welcoming state. I fit marry from there sha! 😂 There’s another fruit they call an 'apple'—not like the big ones, but very small and sweet. I wish I could find someone to waybill some to me here.

AKO. aka pepper fruit!
Very prominent in Edo and Delta

SpencerForbes:
Fruit for the elders. In Akwa Ibom, they call it Nkalika—if I’m spelling that right! That’s actually where I tried it for the first time.

Nkarika

Kyn4life:
In my dialet its call "Nkarika"

that means you’re from akwa ibom

Goddyrichie:
Nkarika

Okay. Thanks for the correction 💯 🙂

Bouncingbabyboy:
We called it monkey blockus back in the day

No, monkey blokos is different from this one

What you're seeing there is Pepper Fruit.

Akon in Isoko and Urhobo.

BomBerF17:
What do you called this in your language?

Urhobos call it Ãkòn

We call it monkey blokkos. Grows Around Suleja bushes

Mariangeles:
Really? What tribe is that?

We call it mmimi.

Mmimi I think is the general igbo name for it
Like the igbo izugbe.

But my local dialect calls it Umimi.

My dialect is the tongue that we speaks in our town.
In nsukka dialect, it is called Umimi.

But generally in igbo language, we call it Nnmimi.

quote author=Chiedu4Trump post=138406667]
Dialets are differences in same base Language

Like in Igboland Anambra calls something IFE.
Abia calls it IHE.
Same language but different dialects.

You mean Ur own language, so maybe call it Native language NOT dialect.

Massive difference.[/quote]

How I wish can share a picture of the particular fruit you are referring, if will be my delight to buy and waybill it to you.

If you want to marry from here too, please feel free.
