Eko/Agidi - Yoruba and Igbo
Akamu/Ogi/Koko - Likely General.
Kunu - Hausa
Kulu-Kuli - Yoruba/Nupe/Hausa
Palm sap (wine) - Common drink in the south and center.

I don't know if these ones are general or regional. Or regional transitioning into General.
Kokoro - Yoruba
Abacha - Igbo
Donkwa - Hausa
Aadun - Yoruba
Alewa - Hausa
Baba dudu/Chesbin Mallam/Alagbon - Yoruba/Hausa
Ube - Likely Igbo/Eastern NNigeria.
Asun - Yoruba
Nkwobi - Igbo
Ukwa - Igbo

Apparently all Nigerian major groups have contributed substantially to our general cuisines.

Pepper soup’s most likely from either Igboland or the Niger Delta region (or both). I know we Igbos share ogbono with the Edo.

I wouldn’t be so hasty in ascribing dodo to you people either. The Yoruba name for fried plantains might be more popular than whatever other equivalents exist but I doubt you people were the first to fry plantain.

This thread’s meant for the more intellectual as opposed to village idiots.

Antivirus92:
oga there is nothing like kpomo or shaki in anambra,,,
we know of kanda or imeju,,,
ogiri is purely igbo and has no yoruba connection,whatever alternative to ogiri that the yorubas have is strictly not related to ogiri
igbo and yoruba have some few words sounding similar but that doesn't have anything to do with same origin

There is such a thing as ogiri in Yoruba. At least say what you actually know.

darfay:
Oga, abeg careful the way you dey pummel him skull o, you know say na ewedu full inside o.

Come and rebut my points.

Either answer the questions postulated to you or get out of this thread.

MelesZenawi:
You're really on an evil and dangerous mission with a disastrous and painful end...

Amadioha magbukwa gi on this evil pact of trying to rubbish a golden tradition.

May Earth pour you sand.

I think you need to be somewhere deep in Enugu’s psychiatric hospital.

MelesZenawi:
Who I'll give rebuttal to such nonsense.

Such trash doesn't demand such because the work is rebuttal on it's own.

1. Egusi
2. Jollof rice
3. Akara
4. Moi-moi
5. Ogiri
6. Ejime/ejire for twins

Tell me Igbos and Yorubas don’t vaguely share all these things in common and I’ll know you’re just an overzealous baboon.

MelesZenawi:
Seems your family is an Osu that is why you want to rubbish long standing igbo culture, histories and tradition with fairy tales, lies and propaganda in the name of research.

There’s no reasoning with unnecessarily fanatical Igbos like you. And so what if Yoruba and Igbo share certain cultural marks? Will the earth cease to move?

MelesZenawi:
You are talking nonsense. I don't know what is kpomo, moreover it is egwusi and not egusi....I don't even know what shaki means..

Anyway don't have time for nonsense argument because ther is no need arguing what is not existing. if your mama na Yoruba good but not Insult ndigbo with stupidest comparison ever to be heard......with your northern and southern Igbo nonsense.

As I said earlier, you can use your father's compound for such barter but let others be ......


Inukwa hatred with rubbish and stupid paper.

Worst research of century full of falsehood.

You’re a lost cause. I’m not even getting intelligent rebuttal of each of my points from you.

agadez007:
Yorubas have Iru and not Ogiri,the both are very different in preparation and in use,nobody uses Kpomo and shaki in Igboland except those of us who grew in Lagos,Highest we call it is "Imeju anu" or Kanda Which is obviously from the Hausa word Ganda(or So,have forgotten what they call it),Dianyi are you sure you are Igbo?
Oyibo(Igbo) and Onyibo(Yoruba) are very different,if you understand Yoruba you would know this
Secondly only the word "Asoebi" is of Yoruba origin,the culture is shared only that Igbos didn't have a name for it,just like we don't have a native name for fried plantain it doesn't mean that the Yoruba invented it because Dodo is more popular

No. The Yoruba equivalent of okpei/dawadawa/locust bean seasoning is what is known as iru. Ogiri proper (as in castor oil ogiri/ogiri egusi) is used in certain parts of Yorubaland as it is in northern igboland and ogiri is the same name certain ‘Yorubas’ use for it as well. Don’t say what you don’t know. Ogede’s also shared as a word and it’s no wonder that it’s the upland Igbos who are more influenced by Igala use it.

People from upland ala Igbo don’t tend to use kanda more than kpomo just like we say obodo oyibo over ala bekee.

And what’s the difference in your eyes between oyibo (igbo) and oyinbo (Yorubaland)? Are you sure you’re saying what you actually know?

MelesZenawi:
Very lame Nonsense you are bringing for reading one fabricated technical paper.

How many aged people in anambra know what kpomo means or shaki..


Never heard such trash in my wildest Imagination if I haven't step outside.

Stop Insulting Igbo nation with stupidity and nonsense.


These are Nonsense we keep fighting everyday that someone will wake up and write one trash because it sounds nice to his hearing.


Insult yourself and stop disgracing Ndigbo.


Igbos has absolutely nothing in common with Yorubas. Any such paper is a pure lie.

Kpomo, egusi, ogiri, akara, moi-moi oyibo, shaki, okoro and ejime for twins in upland igboland and much of Yorubaland and that’s a hard fact. By all means tell everyone how much you hate ndi Yoruba but the fact that we share foods and other cultural marks in common doesn’t mean you have to deny that because you don’t want to forge an affinity with the opposing side.

Not many aged Igbos from the likes of Imo and Abia state know the likes of kanda and bekee as kpomo and oyibo but northern and western Igbos definitely do. Southern Igbos don’t cook with ogiri or particularly acknowledge egusi as one of their staple ofes but Anambra and Enugu do just as people from certain parts of so-called Yorubaland do. Hate on Yoruba people all you like but you can’t deny the patent ancestral links between Yoruba, northern Igbo and Igala.

MelesZenawi:
I know this nonsense will come up. I didn't see this paper before telling you not to bring one nonsense technical paper here.


You expect me to read this trash by yoruba author Bolaji Aremo.


You are really delusional.


Look at what you dropped for me to read. I don't blame you on a serious note.



Yorubas and Igbos has nada in common. whatever paper you are bringing is a fabricated take and will never hold.

This is 21st century and nobody empowers nonsense such as this thread.

Tueh

So Yoruba and Igbo don’t share ogiri and egusi? Ndi Anambra and Enugu don’t share words with Yorubas (as in kpomo, shaki, oyibo) with Yorubas? Igbos didn’t birth akwa ocha culture from the Yoruba asoebi culture? That right? Yorubas and Igbos don’t eat some form of jollof rice?

Answer me that before you go off on another silly tangent.

MelesZenawi:
You are talking Nonsense upon gibberish because nothing like that is existing in that your little history book.

Take your fake stories to illiterates who will buy them not sane minds.

Yorubas and Igbos have no common food...Ozu..You are the one trying to create such scenario because it never exist and still not existing.


You are too small and ill-educated to re-write history...who send you on such mischievous mission..?


Yorubas and Igbos has nothing like same ancestral. This is the greatest lie and another springing myth. Get on with other things and don't even think of fabricating any little technical paper full of lies. Culturally Igbos has no single cultural similarities with Yorubas let alone your fictitious ancestral.


Mr, I will advise you to chase this your pop corn dream with your great grand father's, grand father's and father's name or even your immediate community and leave ndigbo and other larger community out of your delusion.

If your mother is Yoruba...fine ...trace your root to them but don't come here to fabricate lies injurious to Ndigbo.

Ndi ala forming literate......Otondo.

Igbos and Yorubas have no shared food? Ogiri? Egusi? Moi-moi? Akara? Jollof rice? That right?

MelesZenawi:
He is looking for unanimity where non is existing.

If there are relationships Igbos has many tribes they are surrounded with but not Yorubas.

Such myth or theory will never exist.

I don’t know which side you’re from but I think you need to let go of this superiority attitude and learn that Igbo and Yoruba share foods and certain other cultural marks because we have the same ancestral root and the former have been influenced by Bini and Igala in certain parts of igboland.

MelesZenawi:
Your fathers and Yorubas share same root not ndigbo.
Ozu.

I’m Igbo, you silly boy.

.

MelesZenawi:
Your fathers and Yorubas share same root not ndigbo.

Ozu.

Shut your stinking mouth.

gregyboy:
For the eguisi it is benin it is a religious soup it is eaten as traditional food by the eastern yorubas had came in contact with before the advrnt of nigeria place like ekito ondo the yorubas eat amala and ewedu as thier original food this is due to oyo influence over those part of yorubas

But igbo claiming egusi is sacrilege

[B]Op am also offended is it only yorubas and igbos that this food are common to[/B]if you can name the full teibes in nigeria then dont name any biko

I didn’t say that but most of these foods tend to originate with either ndi Igbo or ndi Yoruba because we share the same root. Other tribes tend to have adapted these foods from one or the other.

There’s quite a few foods which more than one tribe eats as more or less indigenous food (Igbo and Yoruba shared foods in particular) but who’s willing to bet the ultimate origin of the following?

Jollof rice
Moi-moi (mai-mai, moin-moin)
Egusi soup
Akara

Puff-puff
Chin-chin
Nigerian buns
Fried rice

RedboneSmith:
'Imu oso' is not a Jamaican patois expression. The post where you got this from misinterpreted the source material.

'Akara' is also not Igbo. It is Yoruba.

Other Igbo words in Jamaican Patois that could have been added are:

Attoo (chewing stick) from Igbo 'atu' and chinch/chink (bedbug) from Igbo 'chinchi.'

Any idea about the shared roots between Igbo and Yoruba as far as akara, egusi and moin-moin/mai-mai go RedboneSmith?

Revolva:
This is ancestry that connect igala and that community nobody is grabbing anybody land or annexation

Igalas and Yoruba have similar yes but do you know more about igala and more about igala better read deeper ok

Thanks

I was wrong. You’ve gone back to your illiterate tendency.

Revolva:
This is a photo showed the Eze Oraeri wearing the same Ejubejuailo medal the Attah of Igala wore and its an evidence that Oreri (Ora-eri) People of Anambra State Being Igala by Ancestry


In the picture, Eze Okonkwo, the Eze Nri Oreri is in the same traditional regalia like that of Attah Igala, with both wearing the Ejubejuailo medal (face-like object on their chest). Attah Igala began to wear it from 1515 during the Igala-Benin war. It was later replicated among the Eri (Eri, an Igala warrior from Idah) people, Oreri in this case to show their Igala root.

This Eze died in 1944 but till date, Eze Oreri dresses like Attah Igala. Oraeri people are also in Awka, and they are all Igala, because tribe is in the blood not by geographical locations. But if you have a contrary view, explain how Eze Oreri got the Ejubejuailo medal. Oraeri will be visited soon by me. One Igala blood forever.

Ngozi123:
Tell them .

I’d normally be inclined to agree but Ondo and Ekiti people differ in this poundo-egusi sense. Pounded yam and Ekiti are like Igbos and crayfish.

But then Ondo and Ekiti people are the Igbos of yorubaland.

Gabriel004:
Egunsi is a Yoruba word for it. Even Hausas eat egunsi.

Yoruba calls it Efo elegunsi
Igbo calls ofe egunsi
Hausa calls it Miyan gushi.

Everyone prepares it differently. You people do your own with little oil and pepper. Yoruba prepare their own with lots of oil and little more paper cos it will make them spit if pepper not added properly.

I don't know how hausas prepare theirs.

So it is not igbo soup.

Elegusi’s actually vegetable egusi soup.

traffic lights aren't revolutionary?.. you're aware it prevents people from early graves right?.. before you say humans can instruct traffic.. why don't you do a research on how traffic lights are effective than traffic wardens... take your time soak it in happiness you're a man.. don't be like a bit*chy girl whining like a woman.. all this beta males on nairaland.. what else would you do for a used pussy other than degrading yourself.. i spit in on you abeg.. bye bye

And where was sun-Saharan Africa when the world was developing? What has an illiterate like you accomplished in your life that I haven’t?

You that’s sitting in one thatched mud house somewhere in Yoruba land is less of a pussy-o than me? That right?

Kennedyiheme02:
lol use good.. a black man actually invented the traffic lights.. Philip emegwali developed a computer software and is one of the world's renowned mathematician....you can use Google bro.. and check inventions by black.. if you wonna talk about skin why don't you tell us what white women have invented?.. just like thier black women folks nothing .. anyway use google more... disgrace of a man like you

Because traffic lights are so revolutionary aren’t they?

Why do sub-Saharan black males have the lowest IQs if they’re up to anything? Why couldn’t we develop roads until the white man introduced us to civilisation?

Ensquare:
Mr too know explain it to a Layman like me. Don't just assume with the excuse of common knowledge.
If you can't please just shut the hell up OK

You might want to get a brain first. Anuofia.

Ensquare:
you that is exposed,please you explain with facts how women have strong immune system?
or you heard someone saying it and you just believe it like a fool.

It’s common knowledge to anyone who knows anything about biology.

Kennedyiheme02:
the weaker sex that built this world.. internet, roads, infrastructure.. we made civilzation what is is today... where as the supposed "stronger sex" which you claim are women cant even produce sanitary pads... they rely on men to do everything for them ... men like you should be stoned

And what did the black man contribute to civilisation? You might want to stop talking with more white male privilege than you have.
