Nah. Banga is very different from Ofe akwu in ingredients and preparation.
The only thing they have in common is palm fruit juice.
Ofe akwu is eaten with rice. Banga is eaten with Starch or something.

No one in Igbo land eats Banga. Its a soup limited to the Edo and Edoids(Isoko, Urhobo). I don't think anyone else outside that zone fancies the soup.

Romanoff:
Best Banga soup na from Edo or Delta.

SouthNigerian:
Person way no like Banga Soup no fit like better thing for him life.


Banga Soup is the reason I swore to either marry from the East or stay single forever.

BKayy:

It is almost the same. The only difference is that we add vegetables and don't consider it as a soup (we have alot of then)

phodoraz:
Banga soup with fresh fish fit scatter brain!!

Almost the same but not the same at all, the difference is the taste, the taste is the difference!!
When you eat Delta Banga soup, you will testify

A lack of basic reading and deciphering skills is not an excuse to hastily comment shallow-mindedly on obvious axioms

Read again and again and again until you see it

LOL. I've eaten it. My friend normally prepares it with catfish. It leaves mashy feeling at the back of the throat (oesophagus). The taste doesn't come close to ofe akwụ which is more flat (prevents mashy feeling) and the vegetables prevent the after taste.
I spent a lot of time in Benin

Igboid:


Nnaa this your argument is becoming annoying.

Almost all African ethnic group from Cameroon, Ghana,Togo, Mali, etc, all the palm oil belt, have a local soup they cook with palm fruit extract. Are you now you now saying they are all Banga soup?

Listen, what makes Banga to be Banga is the vegetables, spices ,etc they use to prepare it. It is not same as Ofe akwu because our spices and vegetable differ and those are what makes Ofe akwu, ofe akwu. The Nchawu, the local garnishing, etc.

Saying that Ofe akwu and Banga are same is like saying jollof rice and fried rice are same because they are both prepared with rice.
It doesn't make sense.

This is donkunu. Na Ghanaian food.

So you know this and you are still saying Ofe akwu is Banga soup?
