A whole 12 rodo? I'm guessing you're Yoruba.

banmee:
Anyone notice that all of ewa26 posts have all disappeared? Yeah thats right; I made it happen. No need replying the mo.ron.

They still dey here.

As the title says. Who coined that term?

I'm team jollof coconut all the way. White coconut rice is more of a Calabar thing. Not how we roll in Igboland.

Which one is coconut mai mai?

Which one sweet pass?

What exactly's the difference between this and Nigerian jollof?

Jobabori:
Gone are the days of Jollof rice when I was in primary school in the 70s. Your nose will feel aroma from nearly a kilometer afar. But what they call Jolof rice now are mostly concortion with diluted smelling of white maggi, palm oil and other concortion ingredients. Only few cook real Jollof rice now

Tell us what real jollof rice is.

Ekaete's the obvious. How has it not been mentioned by now?

redbeans:
Okra you mean?

The proper name's okwuru (Igbo). Okra and okro are as right or wrong as each other. They're both oyibonised.

Boiled eggs.

absoluteSuccess:
More like awka.

Thank you.

bigfrancis21:
Very well. One thing you need to know is that any Igbo-speaking person who grew up in the east will somehow be able to understand to a certain level other different dialects from his, no matter how deep they may be. To me, Ukwuani is just another Igbo dialect like Nsukka, Abiriba etc. Well, let me not derail the thread because I am starting to already.

Except Abakaleke. Everything but Ebonyi dialects.

Listen, has anyone had a read of this? http://www.fao.org/3/a-i0370e/i0370e13.pdf

Outlines perfectly traditional Igbo cuisine. Some strange bits though. Who wan tell me what ujuju is?

Revolva:

Nwayo. We're not fighting.

Revolva:
hahaha dont you know there r igala communities in d border of kogi and anambra..ibaji axis....see you...

I'm talking about your inability to spell Anambra properly.

Ate this at a party. That's me done for the day.

ruggedised:
[color=#000000]no igbo man will eat that poo called green soup

Afonja soups are disgusting [/color]

Ndi Nsukka eat ewedu though.

Revolva:
truth bro you are very updated

i am an igala ...but my ancestor must be ajida...we settled down in ifeku idland in present day edo state border...to ibaji...so eventually i claimn kogi state of origin cos i can still trace to idah....even our elders said so..we do visit attah of igala..if there r festivals...i dont likebeing clled edo state....had it been my village fell ino anambra i would be more happy...to claim anbambra.....


we are closer to ebu in delta state...the ebu people decided to choose delta state due to the oil..in delta..they tought itwould favour dem...but now they are on their own in delta..around igbos...

so bro..i traveled to makurdi benue state ..i was coming to lagos...i passed through oturpko....to edumoga to otupka...to orokam to olamaboro ogugu an igala town....den about 20 mins from ogugu to enugu to obolo afor...to near...wow i observed....that these town must know how to speak both igbo n igala or idoma....

wow...i see the reason nnamdi kanu said some part of benue n kogi will go with biafra.....i know ibaji n lower idoma land igede clam may agree..cos they are all son of Eri..
BUT WHY IS IGALA LANGUAGE has element of yoruba..the language is yorubiod....i just dont know why

Please, which one is Anbambra?

9jakool:
You are wrong when you assume the entire Akoko SE is Edoid speaking, which is not. Like I said Ifira and Ipesi only speak Yoruba, the maybe you are not as familiar as you say you are. Ok, what is the Edoid language spoken in Ifira because I want to know?

Also, not every towns and villages in Odinani speak a Yoruba language, some only speak Igbo. The inhabitants of Ubulu Uku claimed descendants from migrants from Ilesha for example; they are also not Olukumi, and only speak Igbo. Does it make sense to suggest that they tweaked their oral tradition to fit their present political location when they have nothing to gain.

The very 9jakool. I was expecting your input in that Akoko Edo thread I made

Following on from 9jakool's thread about Akoko Ondo demographics, who can break down the demographics of Akoko Edo and the other borderline areas in Edo that have strong Yoruba influence (aka Ora)?

Hmm. How about Akoko Edo?

[quote author=laudate post=59417701][/quote]I hope your pounded yam isn't the soft ofe mmanu kind. Nothing less than rock-hard poundo for an Anambra man.

I'm waiting laudate. I'm prepared to treck to Ajegunle this night sha.

Since your people are doing well in the restaurant business, where can you refer me to a Yoruba restaurant in Lagos where I can eat some nice egusi, hm?

laudate:
True!! The Yoruba people are doing quite well in the restaurant, hotel & hospitality business. Kola Adewale the owner of The Place had earlier been profiled on this thread. Kindly check page 201.

Is it true that you own a 5-star restaurant in Lekki laudate? Can you make me some piping hot egusi?

jagugu88li:
So today I will have some eyinjuege lemon chicken. Krystal00 bring that heinz tomato sauce forwad abeg. Probz, do you mind handling sime rice for me? Thank you.

Have some jollof on me.

Should be rice and beans on a Friday

About to go down with eba. Notice the egusi oil separated from the egusi (important if you want a tasty egwusi).
