"Melon" is "elegede" is Yoruba.

That's according to google translate and also my knowledge.

Egusi is an Igbo word that means Melon seed. Check it on google translate if you don't believe me. All of this posturing is not necessary as all you need to do is answer these simple questions: what is "melon" in Igbo and what is it in Yoruba?

Why is it so hard to answer this question?

I don't know why igbos on this forum always refer to yorubas as ewedu and amala eater.
I guess,most Igbos must be used to Oyo state and are used to seeing people eat amala and ewedu with relish even in parties to conclude all yorubas are amala lovers.
The ones who never came down west rely solely on information fed to them by their traveled kins,whether true or not,they don't care to find out.
Simple research could have taken care of that na
People shouldn't be this lazy now.
The delicacy is the traditional food of primarily Oyo people and I guess some parts of kwara( if I'm not mistaken)
Other yorubas have theirs just that other yorubas prepare it to to have varieties.

Who tell u Egusi is an Igbo dish? Go google Egusi nd educate urself.

All Africans eats Egusi nd most of the countries nd tribes in Africa calls it Egusi or a name related to Egusi, even Ghana, Togo nd so on. Yoruba's has been cooking Egusi b4 Igbo's migrated to Nigeria from Egypt where they served as slaves.

All Nigerians eat Jollof rice but it originated somewhere.

Most Nigerians eat ofe akwu but we know where it originated from.

"All Africans eat egusi" does not answer where it originated from. Its an Igbo soup.

Ngozi123:


If you do what you did with Hausa instead of yoruba then you'll get the same result. Does that mean that Egusi soup is also Hausa in origin?

Translate "melon" from English to Yoruba, English to Hausa etc and then you'll see where the word truly originates from.

Armaggedon:
Yea egusi is Igbo. its actually called "egwusi" egusi is just the corruption. just like some pronounce "ugu" as ugwu and pronounce "ora" as oha.

Ngozi123:


Pounded yam is ji asuru asu in Igbo. We don't call it iyan, that's a yoruba word. But egusi is an Igbo word. What does egusi mean in Yoruba?

BULLIONVAN4:
Hug a transforme!!

it wasn't lame, boring and unoriginal when you directed it to the Igbos huh?

but eventually become unoriginal, lame and boring because it has been fired back at the yorobers

no wonder, the yerobers are reffered to as "bird with two heads" "double-edged cutlass"

Chris2863:
As if yorubas sabi cook Egusi or pound yam�

Mymynd4u:


Shey ur father doesn't have sense ni? Why are u posting and posting pics

BULLIONVAN4:
Oga!

in my mother tongue(dialect),
melon seed means "mkpuru egusi"
water melon means "egusi mmiri"
so stop arguing blindly or you tell me what melon seed and water melon means in yoruba.

sooner or later, you people will tell us how the word "ofe akwu" originated from yoruba as "efo ukwa" since you guys love turning Igbo words upside down and bastardizing it.

Translate from english into Yoruba if you want to get an accurate reading, otherwise it'll keep saying "translate from basque" underneath.

Btw, you do not want to get into a debate as to who is better educated between you and I because you will lose. I'm trying my best to be polite so I would respect it if you could do the same.

Why arwa0p0 Why are you wailing like a toy-deprived, ill-bred spoilt brat, IPOB boy? I'm not the reason your landlocked homeland is an erosion-ravaged hellhole of Ngwa cannibals, Osu outcastes, snake worshippers and baby factories, or why your people flee your hometowns in drove like mendicant gypsies and refugees from war-torn countries. Sorry, IPOB sub-cretin.
