Food / Re: The Clarity Between Okpa And Moi Moi by Probz(m): 11:42pm On May 05 |
Listen, ehn, okpa is not just the Igbo (or Enugu-Igbo) version of moi-moi. It’s like moi-moi but a very distinct food in its own right. You want more “local” variations of mai-mai, look towards ukpo-ogede (plantain moi-moi). this thing that they call unene-ojii now (basically ‘rare blackened banana moi-moi), corn mai-mai, etc. You people should know and understand that okpa is not and never has been synonymous with mai-mai. Let’s just get this straight. |

Awka is friends with everyone. Fairly similar to Nri but have an easier time integrating with others because the people have kind of been chilling in the same neighbourhood as many other Nigerians just straight-up. Maybe homogenous in terms of ancestry but maybe a little more westerly-coloured than other Anambra Igbos, as Chinua Achebe’s pointed out. They’re definitely cousins to Nri but with more … ya. I’ve got Nri and Awka blood in me in an immediate familial sense so I’ve chilled in both neighbourhoods somehow-or-other from day one. |

RedboneSmith: Thank you. Some Igbos are light-skinned, others are dark-skinned but some in the middle but there is no evidence of admixture. |

Seriously, what was that, Redbone? This thread feels like something that might just be half up your street. Not so much the Umuzocha bit as where the thread ends up. |

engrpheleeks: Lordy knows I can’t stand avocado. I don’t mind bread (like agege) but unless it’s like fancy French bread I’m good. “Won’t you take bread with your tea ubochi-ta(adini)?” NO. Unless you people have a toaster, or I have the energy to make French toast myself. I don’t mind bread like that but I can more than do without it. I don’t know why people find that hard to understand. I prefer toast and that’s the end of it. 1 Like |

Anambra uses the most onugbu (bitterleaf) in Igboland, whereas what’s more characteristic of Imo and Abia states is okazi, and it reflects in the way egusi’s cooked. There are tonnes of Igbo leaves you can use to cook egusi but ugu, onugbu and okazi (all with or without a sprinkling of uziza leaves) are just three common ways to do it (some of the other vegetables, like azu-igwe/goat weed, are a fair bit more uncommon; not blaming indomie for that but, y’know, the less common leaves are less known to each younger generations, except the ones who study culinary traditions or remarkably have it passed down to them). Egusi soup in general is very important to the Igbo but you’ve got styles, just like there’s Delta egusi pepper soup, Akwa Ibom egusi (tastes Igbotic but slightly different) egusi made with akwu (banga egusi) that cuts across both Deltans and (more rarely) Igbos (some people use akwu to cook egusi, instead of palm oil; egusi-ocha, a Delta-Igbo thing, hardly uses either if at all). Then there’s akpurapu egusi with achara (elephant-grass). Benue egusi. Igala egusi. Egusi Ijebu (yuck but, for better or worse, it is unique). Ondo/Ekiti egusi that’s always served with pounded yam. There’s probably several forms of it indigenous to so much of Nigeria, and that’s why it’s annoying when both Igbos and Yorubas alike try and claim egusi as belonging solely to them. Countries as far as Ghana and just other parts of West Africa have some form of egusi so it’s not much of a stretch that basically every Nigerian tribe has a type of egusi particular and good-as native to them, and that actually is the reality. The concept of egusi soup in general, for all the variations, is general, not tribal. 1 Like |

1000Capacity: Yeah, I know that one. You can just call isapa zobo-egusi. That’s basically what it is, like onugbu/bitterleaf egwusi, ugu egwusi, okazi-egusi, whatever the predominant vegetable is in any one case, if any). Egusi cooked with zobo (hibiscus) leaves. 1 Like |

superintendents: Bro, this is where the boundary starts. I can’t keep doing that now. Maybe some other time but for now I just wanted to bless a few people in need and leave it at that. Don’t get too used to the offer. I can’t afford for it to be there most of the time. For personal boundary-preservation’s sake plus the fact that this oga just isn’t rich yet. I can’t just be giving you money for credit. That’s not gonna happen. 4 Likes 1 Share |

odun99: Thanks so much. Like I say, I’m really not flush myself and have my own financial wahala/issues but I also like to help people, even if I can only afford to do it here and there. Anyone who’s seen the current state of this Nigeria would understand why. There’s enough suffering going on as it is. Yes, e-dey important to not let yourself be taken for a fool/advantage of (especially in a country like Nigeria) but suffering’s real. And people need to know that there are still some people in this world who would go the extra mile for you when they comfortably can. Not everyone has funny principles about money and is super-tight about what they have. I’m not a fool but I’m not heartless either. There’s a difference between letting yourself be used for 419 and helping people who you know are genuinely struggling. Suffering can never be a myth in Nigeria. Yeah, man can’t really make this too much of a consistent habit but here-and-there it’s still better to give than to receive (and receiving is well-bliss, let’s not lie). I guess I’m just that person. 1 Like |
