RedboneSmith:
I believe the indigenous Muslim population of Igbo-Eze in Enugu State outnumber that of Ebonyi.

I see. Oh and listen, just out of interest, what's the proportion of Catholics to mainline Pentecostal/Protestant churches in both those states?

Intellad:
no food is better that big hard black d.ick, and Igbo egwusi soup with fufu.... egwusi is widely accepted by all... even afonja abandoned their godforsaken ewedu for egwusi

Agreed but Yorubas have always had egusi.

.

MediumStout:
Useless soup. Ewedu remains the best soup anyday

I smell afonja jealousy.

WhiteSoup:
We the yorubas have the best recipe for edikainkong soup. It originally originated from oshogbo before spreading to other pant of the south south like calabar.

I does not even knows why people doesn't knows their history and the real pant of where they came from

ROFLMAO.

So what exactly is it you're saying agadez? That Alo's by Bini or in Anambra?

RedboneSmith:
You didn't know they exist?

Not so much that I didn't know they exist, only I didn't think they were in sizeable enough numbers to make up whole mosques around the country. Plus I thought most Igbo Muslims were from Ebonyi?

Literature and food.

RedboneSmith:
And of course you have no evidence. Just spreading poison. Are you aware that the majority of the people who worship in that mosque, including the chief imam, are indigenous Igbos of Enugu State origin? Is IPOB now a movement that attacks and fights other Igbos?

What's this about Igbo muslims?

OP's obviously lied since those pictures were gotten straight from Google Images.

abelprice:
Maybe it's cos in a man's case he's d 1 going in.. but in a woman's case she is actually the inn... if u understand..... ....

agadez007:

TheArchangel:
Laudate, you are a pathetic soul.

You dey mind am?

agadez007:
we have Isseke village In Alor town,idemili south,He (equano) Mentioned that their Village dont kill Pythons and Alor is quite close to Benin than Isseke,ihiala

Just saying

So what exactly's your point?

AnanseK:
They occupy 3.1% of Nigeria's land mass and have 5 states. That's unfair to other sections . They should have one or a maximum of two states. No minority tribe has 5 states except them. Let's restructure sharp sharp.

Minority tribe? Are you mad?

AverageAnnie:
curse be unto all rapists. ...even their daughters will experience rape..

Let's pray they don't even have daughters. And let's not wish rape on anyone.

bigfrancis21:
It's most definitely not in Anioma because Olaudah himself left strong tales of his journeys to indicate that he clearly was kidnapped from the east of the Niger, not west of the Niger. People claiming Ashaka in Anioma are overlooking more supporting details Olaudah left and are choosing to focus only on name similarity. This shouldn't even be open to debate.

Yh. I thought as much.

Anyone know exactly where Equiano originated? I know some people say he was from somewhere deep in Anambra but I've recently come across something stating he's from Ashaka Village (Ndokwa/Ukwuani territory).

What do we think? Present-day Anioma or Anambra Igbo?

Itsekiri eat starch, banga, egusi, egun bobo(starch and plantain), igbagba ofofo (seafood okro peppersoup). They also have their own unique dishes like igbgba(yam/plantain peppersoup), obe eyen(Yoruba equivalence is obe eyin/obe eyen, which litterally translate to palm fruit soup; similar to banga soup), epuru, etc.

Most tribes in the south have their own take on banga anyway. I know obe eyin.

And listen, just out of of interest, how do you guys cook your banga soup and what do you eat it with?

9jakool:
The core of Itsekiri's culture is Yoruba/Yoruboid. If you look at their cultural practices, they bear a close resemblance to Yoruba cultural practices. Itsekiri's core culture contains proto-Yoruba element.
For example, there are a lot of similarities in terms of religion. Itsekiri's traditional religion is known as ebora tsitse, which is shared with Yoruba. There is a large plethora of deities with Yoruba, even more so with Yorubas of Ondo area. Itsekiris also have ifa, which they called ife. There are 256 odu ifa(literary corpus) found in both Yoruba and Itsekiri. Cultural festivals Umale festival for example can only be found among Itsekiri and parts of Ondo state(Ilaje, Ikale area etc). Umale has no Edo origins nor is it observed by them. Yoruba and Itsekiri's masquerades are known as egungun and the masquerade traditions are also similar. The social structures of Itsekiri is also similar to Yoruba's.

I've seen most people who say Itsekiri's culture is closer to Edo reference the clothing style. Funny thing is, wrapper style is also native to Yorubas. Sure, many don't prefer the wrapper style, but it's still heavily present among many Yoruba subgroups. In fact, the common george's wraper/blouse worn by Itsekiri has no real connection with Edo. If we all know our history, the Itsekiris were one of the first people who first made contact with the Europeans and benefited from early trade. They adopted the George's wrapper/blouse before the Edos as they were right on the coast and were at the forefront of coastal trading before reaching Edo. The george's clothing actually has its origins in India and they were introduced to the Itsekiris by the Europeans who had already set up colonies in Asia. In fact the shirt in Itsekiri is known as kemije which is derived from the Portuguese "camisa."

Now, that that's out of the way, we can talk about food. Here is where you don't see much similarities with Yoruba. The Itsekiri's cuisine is more similar to that of the cuisine of the Delta/Edo area.

I've only got a half-decent understanding of Urhobo-Isoko cuisine (aka usi and banga, egusi pepper soup). What's Itsekiri cuisine like actually? Or is it the same as standard Deltan/Urhobo food?

That's standard Saturday breakfast all over the country.

How about oyinbo?

Try using actual words please.

Gbam!! Abeg, collect 2 bottles of chilled drinks from Mama Onoja down the road. You deserve it. In fact, collect one whole crate, sef! Use it to cool down. Tell her that all the drinks are on me.

Why stop at mineral? Can't you offer him ngwo ngwo and egusi?

[quote author=laudate post=60434873][/quote]i believe I wasn't talking to you so you can shut up that your filthy mouth.

No mind di yeye clown. He keeps following me around on every thread, hanging on to my coat tails in a bid to get my attention. If I deprive him of attention for just one day, his market will not sell and he would be extremely traumatised. He is simply good for nothing, but target practice.

Is everyone yeye to you?

ewa26:
please will you just answer my question on at least d Igbo style of cooking jellof rice and what variation of rice is there in iboland pls I want to know ow 2 cook d igbo jollof rice, familiarise me with the typical style of Igbo woman who cooks jollof rice

We've got more range of one-pot rice dishes in the East. Not just the standard jollof rice and fried rice but coconut rice (especially jollof coconut), banga rice, vegetable rice and mixed veggies jollof.

There's no Igbo style of cooking the standard jollof rice except we don't pour oil like Yorubas. That's literally it.

Cire80:
ujuju is not an Igbo food. The people that has ujuju don't have same cuisine with the Igbo

I heard they have it in Asaba.

How's that head trauma coming along? I heard the village witches conked your head on potopoto at your christening.
