*Ate like an oaf and became a fat chic*, compares himself to a ‘fat chic’.
Hilarious.
Olóyè.@Ol0ye
This is the heaviest have been in my life so I have paused the gym in the meantime. I tried jogging tonight and this is how fat chics must feel. My cardio is shit, my back hurts from jogging and my calves are tight. Can't have that. Lifting weights ≠ fitness.

@o_layoola Good food is good food regardless of where it comes from/how it’s made. Same for Dawadawa.
English
@o_layoola Also please see that you’re more similar to an Edo or Delta or Bayelsa or Igbo or Hausa person of today than to someone from Ife or Oyo like 200 years ago. You’d have more similar palates, since it’s food we’re talking about.

Yay! Iru is getting its recognition! Thanks to Madam Tola Akerele!
P.S. Iru is only in Yoruba cuisine, and Yoruba is across Nigeria, Benin & Togo, as well as other West African countries, transatlantic diaspora (Brazil, Cuba, Caribbean etc.) & diaspora.

Iru, fermented locust beans, is an important condiment in Nigerian cuisine. Tola Akerele, author of The Orishirishi Cookbook, teaches us how to cook with iru at home. saveur.com/food/west-afri…

@o_layoola Nothing about the origin is being erased though. ‘Egusi’ has Yoruba etymology,
you know it, I know it, and it’s not a secret.
But I won’t hold it against someone that doesn’t is what I’m saying.
Educate and keep it pushing, why is anybody arguing?
English
@o_layoola Is it so wrong that the etymology is confused? The average person is not a linguist.
you don’t know the etymologies of all the English words you use do you?
English
@o_layoola But now, someone growing up in Owerri for example now would’ve been eating Egusi all their lives.
None of it would’ve come from the South-west. It has been ‘Egusi’ all their lives.

@truth12890671 @epicnephrin_e You clearly don’t have kids, or go through this with yours.
You’re not special, you’re not better than that woman.

Even in so much pain, she didn’t hurt him. That’s a mother. Proud of her. Sending a big hug from afar 🤍

@999wetsocks I focused on the title because it referred to Iru,& also "Nigerian cuisine" (cuisines would be diff).
Since it was referred to as Iru, I dont want the same issue as Egusi, which is also used by others.
Then, the Yoruba author kept referring to trad Yoruba food as "Nigerian".
English
@o_layoola Even the article says -‘commonly enjoyed by the country’s Yoruba and *Edo people*’-
Edo people are not Yoruba…
English
@o_layoola Locust beans is in Northern Nigerian cuisine as Dawadawa. It’s called that across the middle belt too, Kogi, Benue; and in Igbo land as Ogiri-okpei (idk if I spelt that correctly)
Just that (I think) it’s typically used grounded
