Konquest:
Egunsi soup with ogunfe is widely eaten among the Yoruba folks... and the Ekiti, Ondo, and Osun States areas have highly nutritious soups from well-documented evidence.

There are more than 20 types of soups in all parts of Yorubaland. Yoruba culture is NOT monolithic but varies from region to region in terms of regional foods preparations.

For your information, ewedu and gbegiri is used as quick preparation "snack" soups among the Oyo folks but they have other types of soups as well that cost even more to make with exotic seasonal ingredients.

Ewedu or jute leaf soups are also indigenous and widely eaten in other countries especially in West Africa.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
How could the Igbos have sustained themselves on human flesh?

Is it that easy and sustainable for a whole tribe to be eating only humans and leaves as a staple food?

Whatever happened to hunting, fruit gathering and cultivation?

Are you Yoruba? Because I'll be surprised to find out you're not.

Always be sure your brain is well connected to your buccal cavity before spewing inanities on social media.

Dsimmer:
Lol. It's the manipulation and misappropriation of facts I don't even like. Same way how some of the Igbos keep playing the victim over the civil war but forgot they were the wicked ones who started the whole thing in the first place by killing other regional leaders except the Igbos while they destroyed our true Federalism. Not only just that, they wanted to steal other people's territories which weren't theirs after they asked for secession because the North retaliated the killing of their leaders in North by killing every Igbos in the North. Thus the Igbo asked for secession however in their evilness, they wanted to steal other people's territory heritage in addition. That was when the Yoruba joined the war because Yoruba territory was involved in the nonsense.

Basically, their wicked nature made them kill other people's leaders while they destroyed our true Federalism.

Secondly, in their covetousness, they wanted to steal other people's heritage.

So why play the victim when you're the evil one to begin with?

On the second post, of course ewedu is a delicious lovely soup as seen below. Aside it's delicacy, it's medicinal soup.

On egusi, egusi is a Yoruba soup as its name implies, which is Yoruba name. "Egun si" in Yoruba means to Shred to add. It's an Orunmila's soup as a matter of fact.

Igbo don't have much soup to begin with. They were found eating Human flesh and leaves at the time they were found in the forest, thus, food varieties were introduced to them. Most of Igbo few soup today was got from several tribes. Egusi was got from the Yorubas, even as the names implies. As a matter of fact, it's an Orunmila's soup.

Also, Apon seeds don't grow in the southeast but rather in the rainforest. No where they could have seen Apon seeds to make ogbon lo. Apon seeds was introduced to them but they couldn't pronounce it, thus pronounced it as ogbon which has no meaning in Igbo language as a matter of fact. They added "lo" which means slimy in Igbo language. Thus ogbon lo.

Igbo also copied some soups from SS. That's all. All these were introduced to the Igbos in a bid to civilise the Igbo who were found eating Human flesh. In fact, Ajayi Crowther was part of those who introduced these foods to the Igbos. Naturally, that's Yoruba culture. People who are sick/unwell are first given varieties of food to eat in Yoruba culture. That's the first treatment administered by IFA. And that was exactly what Ajayi Crowther (who's a core Oyo) did for the Igbos at the time, in a bid to stop the cannibal Igbos from eating Human flesh. Igbo got egusi, Apon, Iyan, Garri, eba etc from the Yorubas. All the names are in Yoruba names.

abc115:
Egusi has no Igbo name....it is Yoruba name you can use?

Holluwhakemmy:
stop claiming other tribe egusi not an igbo soup

Aragon001:
Egusi soup as the name goes is yoruba words for melon soup. In igbo is egwusi soup. In akwa ibom it is call ikon. Various ethnic groups in Nigeria have a name for it in their dialect.
Even outside Nigeria as mentioned here in nairaland, other tribes in certain countries have a name for it as well in their local dialect.
The appropriate name for it is melon seed soup. No tribe especially my ibo brethren have any right or claim over the soup origin. Since it is native to all tribes that have the plants growing in their lands.
The same right an ibo have over it is the same right a yoruba, edo, ibibio and other ethnicity in Nigeria have as well.
Let not be misinform pls and op always do ur research well before posting.

Prigidypogodo:
blame it to bitter politics.

pandoragirigory:
Same for Peter girigory Obi, but Peter obi is only invited if beer company owners were invited, only presidents of countries like eze-chukwu Bola Ahmed Tinubu are invited not president of beer company owners like Peter girigory Obi.

We are everywhere in spite of Nigeria not with the help of Nigeria

What can Nigeria do to stop Igbos growth that haven't been done.. I dare you to name one

datola:
Hmmm... It's not, considering billions of Naira generated by Lagos State Government

Elvis2kay:
8 year's of BAT is a must. Shetima take over 2031😂

mrvitalis:
Lol same Nigeria refused to give him land to build plan maintainace hub in Enugu ... Now they are faking smiles like they are happy

Yet Allen is still doing one Nigeria

I have done one Nigeria here on nairaland... Was one of the biggest advocates

But truth is... As long as you are an Igbo man in Nigeria they would never give you a level playing ground ... The sooner igbos like Allen understand this the better

mrvitalis:
They did that to him because he was Igbo that's the simple truth

36STATES:
Edo people should vote a handsome governor for once, LP has given you that opportunity and you should grab it. Obasike and Oshimole are better looking than what PDP and APC are presenting at the moment to be your governor.

Use this LP candidate to remove the shame of always producing the ugliest governors in Nigeria please.
