I have more important things to attend to.
Hope the obsession with the Yorubas put food on your table.

Poleski:
Control your long throat. Don't eat food someone you just had a problem with gave you. It's dangerous. She could've poisoned it.

Ijaya123:
With the way you’re working overtime on this Yoruba matter, I can see the obsession is indeed real.

Quite understandably though, you can only be obsessed with what you aspire to be like.

When an ogbanje girl likes you... You get gift of oha soup from her in a white plate

Ijaya123:
And if I may ask you, why are you having self-induced migraines over Yoruba people’s soup?
Did anybody put a gun to your head to eat it or the people who are eating it came to lodge a complaint with you?

I’m trying to understand the obsession here.

Jeon:
How is using broom [never been used on the floor ]to cook unhealthy or abnormal?

In Edo, broom is also used to stir soup or fry Garri to avoid them from burning.

Ijaya123:
Let me help you ignorance. Yorubas don't stir ewedu with broomstick. It is pounded with whisk, traditionally called 'Ijabe' or done with blender.

Do you also know that:
Ewedu is called Rama in Hausa, Malukhiyah in Egypt, molohiya in Isreal, krain krain in Sierra Loene and mrenda in Kenya. Ewedu is used to produce soup (taushe) or mixed with kuli kuli (groundnut cake) to form a dish known as kwado in Hausa. Ewedu is good for weight loss because of its low calorific content and it helps strengthen the immune system, fights off stress and heart disease. Ewedu is a folk remedy for aches and pains, dysentery, enteritis, fever, dysentery, pectoral pains, and tumors.

Hope that helps.

That yeye disgusting soup… Why do Igbos put coco yam or pounded yam in their soups? Unhealthy

KeenD:
Man must wak. Being a public figure doesn't stop you from enjoying eating Akara

StainlessCup:
things like what? You forget we almost produce nothing here in Nigeria.

marlow1962:
Nigerian minimum wage can't even buy their local bag of rice (what a very big shame).
Nigerian citizen will continue living in hell until they stop praising their slave masters, but for now let tribalism do his thing, when everybody is done insulting themselves over these punks politicians who don't give a Bleep about you, them we can talk business.

dc23:
Take note that Cassava was introduced from Brazil to Africa or West Africa by the Portuguese. That means no cassava meal can be classified as NATIVE

Not exactly made with ice, but the hot port is also an excellent sort-of wine cocktail. Source: https://thesmartcookiecook.com/recipes/hot-port-drink-recipe

RedboneSmith:
Y'all are just way too touchy for your own goods. 🙄

SmartyPants:
Egusi is eaten and prepared in different ways all over West Africa. Try and travel so you won't be so limited in cultural awareness.

In Gambia/Senegal they eat theirs with rice and call it supa kanja.

If you claim it originated from your tribe, no problems but what is the evidence for that claim?

BeigJawnson:
Lol... Just be careful. Yorubas own Egusi... And Egusi is a loaned word into the Igbo language...

vannessa7:
Vitamin A deficiency in Yoruba land?!!, What do you think is in the palm oil you people hate so much, the nmanu, being quiet and laid-back coupled with not being egotistical has made the likes of you to undermine us a great deal, because no one is blowing Yoruba horn you lot think we have no horn to blow

I will not reply you again

BeigJawnson:
Hear you .... There is nothing like egusi apkurupku in Yoruba.... Use your head not anus

vannessa7:
Unfortunately I couldn't read your tribal prejudice induced come back to the end, the premature wrinkled and broken down faces of your people is enough evidence to prove me right, I honestly made that post hoping I might help some igbo women because I know how a woman with premature wrinkles might feel, now imagine a diet that wreck havock on your skin what it is doing to your inside simultaneously,
You sighted the case of Yoruba praising igbo food and I can tell you that is because Yoruba has always and will always be laid back, we don't prove or chest beat until you call us out like you normally do. Go to obalende in Lagos and many part of Lagos island and see igbos chowing down ijebu egusi and Amala. Isn't that what they are doing at that Amala day?
I have travelled round your place and there was a time I felt stranded when my work took me to an internal village and all the food I could get was akpu and garri, I developed muscle before coming back then I understood why your people are typically short until you started traveling out of your enclave. Your land does not grow much food nor support livestock thus one of the reasons for cannibalism, thank God for transportation you now have access to meat if not you lot will still be all midgets. It is not possible for Yoruba to cook like you because we have easy access to protein right from before transportation unlike you that you have to pick all sorts of things to make your soups tasty, that's why hausa soups are even more watery than Yoruba soups , when you have quality protein you don't need to pick so many trash to make your food have some taste and as for vegetables every other regions have more vegetable than south east, vegetable that grow on its own everywhere in south west and the north.

The north are the healthiest because they have most fruits, livestock and grains, it is almost like paradise the way food grows in the north, and that's why they are the tallest, I've been there so I know, watermelon,cabbage, lettuce, yams,beans rice, wheat,etc. Yoruba also have varieties of foods, it is only your region that is food challenged and that's why you recorded so much casualty during the civil war.

You ask what food has got to do with stroke, that's enough for me to know the class you belong, no intellectual will ever ask such question, I am an analyst and a researcher, if I find anything good about food from other places I adopt it, I don't care about tribe and that's why tuwo is a staple in my home, is it fufu or garri which is all igbos have that I will go for, I don't even eat eba again and I stopped eating fufu which you call akpu a long time ago, I will rather take yogurt for fermented foods than smelly fufu

Your citations are Nigerians doctors and Nigerian websites while tomatoes and ewedu are foods attested to by health professionals all over the world. Amala and tuwo are foods with low glycemic index recommended for diabetics and anybody who wants to reduce sugar.

My conclusion, you are free to continue on your over hyped diet while I stick to mine, igbehin lo ma ye oloku ada ,( the man with a dull cutlass will only understand at the end) to every Mallam his kettle.
