Abacha - And not African Salad 🙄
Ofe Nsala - And not White Soup.🙄
Ofe Akwu - And not Banga. 🙄
Akpụ -And not Fufu🙄.
Respect Our Culture And Stop Translating The Names Of Our Cuisines To What You Don't Know each tribe has it's own preparation process and unique name they call their meal in Nigeria.
After All, You Buy Pizza And Spaghetti (Italian Names) And Call It With Their Italian Names...
And you buy yoghurt which originated from Turkey with Turkey name, nobody translate the name in English.
So Why Not Leave Our Abacha,ofe Nsala,Ofe Akwụ And Akpụ etc To Bear Their Original Names, So It Can Tell Where It Originated From, Anytime Foreigners Sees Them...
If A Friend From USA Or UK Asks You What You Had For Breakfast, Lunch Or Dinner. Tell Him You Had Abacha, Akpụ with ofe Nsala
And If They Don't Know It, Let Them Google About It. After All, That's Also How We Ndị igbo and other Africans Read About Their Cuisines On The Internet...
Telling Them You Had "Africa Salad Or Banga or even white soup", Doesn't Mean You Are Exposed And Educated, It Only Shows How Inferior You Take Yourself And Your heritage
