Igbo People, Ofe Akwu. by meobizy(op): 12:46am On Jul 05, 2019
I know I’ll receive zero to few replies but here goes.
Thank God for Reddit because I’ll post this there also.

Why do Igbo people eat ofe akwu (banga soup) with rice?
If it is a soup (ofe) it’s actually meant for swallows.
Is it eaten with eba and its many varieties but I’m yet to find out?

I know of you people’s style, it’s the Igbo one I’m interested in.
Theirs is a little diluted or less oily compared to the Delta style.

Do they use it as a soup also or it’s only a stew when considering Igbos?

An Igbo woman combined Ife akwu and rice one day and discovered that it tasted wonderful. Aje now shared it to the rest of the family and they loved it. From then, it was only a matter of time before it became a delicacy. smiley

This is how you people fail exams.
The question is “do Igbo people ever eat it with swallow?” yet you’re here giving a life history.

Edit: Ok, I see it now, I also asked why.
You get a 5/10 for effort.

You created a thread asking a question which you should get an F and we humored you by answering. And instead of being a humble student so that you can learn something or two you have turned your thread upside down.

If you don't want to learn, you are free. Bye.
