Egusi soup is a national treasure

ggood:
ok but Igbo don't own Egusi every tribe eat it and it has different name depends on the tribes

Yes. I mentioned that in one of my post. Almost all west African tribe, and I am sure Cameroun too, eat Egunsi. I have ate Eba and Egunsi(garri) from a Cameroun girl I met at university outside the country.

This man, you never marry

illicit:

The light skinned ones

Makunahatata:

It won't still make you sensible, even if you drain all the ewedu in this world.

Makunahatata:

Igbo soup wey even heaven confirm, na Yoruba wan claim. Pls claim ur ewedu and efo, na wetin una fit cook jor. Call dat egusi with respect, Igbos spend a whole lot to prepare it.

kenex4ever:
exactly.

It's Egwusi in Igbo land, some igbo people call it egwushi.

Yoruba guys pronounce it poorly by calling it egusi.

You are ignoramus

ThatFairGuy1:
This man, you never marry

The ibo corper I wan marry

Her mama no allow her marry Yoruba


😞

egusi soup is not natively ours but we are the ones who DEVELOPED it igbo amaka

Mandate1:
it's neva their standout menu. It's ewedu first before egusi. Efo and ewedu are your main soups.

u don't know what you're saying.... most don't even sell ordinary efo, it's mostly efo mixed with egusi.

benebaby77:
Egushi soup is not Igbo soup...

I think South South owns White Soup Ofe Nsala


Ooops, you didn't include Ogbono. Almost everyone enjoys Ogbono soup

If you think, then you don't know, you are just guessing. Egusi is a very Igbotic soup.

abc115:


You are ignoramus

YOU DON GO CHANGE AM FOR WIKIPEDIA NOW?


YORUBA IS THE BOTTOM IN NIGERIA WHEN IT COMES TO SOUP.

OIL IS USUALLY TOO MUCH.


EGWUSI IS DEFINATELY NOT A YORUBA WORD.

SmartMen:


You are ignorant and that ignorance is borne out of your lack of travel and interactions with other Southerners.

Ofe Nsala is not the same as what you call South South Soup. The only white soup i know from Delta state is Egusi Soup without palm oil and that’s what they call white soup over there.

It’s only Akwa Ibom people that have something close to Nsala but they are not the same.

igbos own Egusi soup, you might not like to hear it.

As far as Nigeria is concerned, only Igbos and Akwa Ibom people have variety Soups and they are the ONLY ones who should be debating soups in Nigeria.

The rest of you should go manage what you have.

Akwa Ibom call Egusi Ikon in their native language, Igbos don't own Ikon

Na so some of their life be!!!!! Many of them get bipolar disorder

Bulldozer90:
What of Okro, Ogbono ,Onugbo soups and Ofe akwu? They are popular Igbo soups as well.

Let me give you a tip. Any soup that has either Ogiri or Okpeyi as it's major seasoning ingredient is an Igbo soup. This is the case with the soups I listed above including the one listed by the op.



Who is inferior sir? The Igbo civilization that boast of having the most popular delicacies in Africa or the Your SW race that is trying to culturally appropriate Igbo delicacies and culture?

Which ingredients of Egusi soup is associated with Yorubas? Is it Ugu, bitterleaf, Okpeyi, Achi or Ukazi?

Today you mock Igbos as Akpu munchers, the next day you claim it's not of Igbo origin.

Elusive doesn't in any way belong to the igbos. Stop deceiving yourself. If you use ugu or whatever leaves, other tribe can also use their leaves. Yoruba has amunututu, tete, gbagba, soko etc that they can use. Stop being ethnocentric.

Tdotbluejays1:

Egunsi is a Yoruba word.

Funny. So a guy who call melon something different in his dialect will teach us what Egwusi is in central Igbo. Have you ask the guy if Egwusi soup is native to his village same as the screenshot you posted from his ignorant followers

funshint:
Igbo egusi always looks and tastes boring. Na Yoruba lead for this Egusi thing. The mere sight sef go dey attract you with orishirishi meat inside . Infact Yorubas try for this one.
Ogbono is overhyped!

you can use it to cook what ever you like but can't name it Egwusi soup.

Asswipemod:


Even the word "egunsi" is not Igbo. This inferiority complex has been shifted to food. Oga o.

The plant is actually called Ogwusi. 'Egusi' is the 'anglicized' name.

E get anything wey una no dey develop? Na una even develop okro. You guys can't stop deceiving una selves

How many Igbo states produce/farm Egusi Let's start from there...

FOOTSOLDIER2:
People asking egusi na igbo soup, Shey the name "Egusi" sounds like Yoruba or Hausa to your ears ?


I'm from Kaduna state but you people will always jealous Igbos

oya tell us the meaning of Egusi in Igbo language?

Emu4life:
I used to think they are South Southern soups.

My dear, they are o.

In Edo, the soup was not even called egusi by locals. My late grandma wouldn't have known what egusi meant.
It's called ogi soup in Edo. Or ikpogi (ogi seeds). It can be cooked with cotton wool leaves, scented leaves, bitter leaves, water leaf, pumpkin leaf, veg leaf, young cocoa tree (not cocoyam) leaves, etc. Can even be blended with freshly plucked oziza (black pepper) leaves depending on season and delicacy desired.

She had no idea what ugwu leaf meant. Edo call it umwenken leaf.

She did not know about ogbono. She knew it as ohere. We had ogbono/ohere trees that were like 70 years old in Edo back then. She used to dry and crack the ohere pods open.

She died in the 1970s.

When Igbo began opening restaurants, being highly migratory, and pidgin became more widespread in urban areas, you began hearing igbo names of various soups. Suddenly they say they all belong to igbo. Na wa o.
