"Shelled" and 'Unshelled' are confusing terms. Many readers will consider "unshelled" to mean "without shell", whereas others, including the contributing editor of the photo titles, use it to mean "with shell on". Please find a non-confusing term to use in the photo titles. 124.169.208.45 (talk) 04:44, 28 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

One of the authors had deliberately mentioned that the egusi is common in the “south eastern” part of the country. That should be replaced with “southern part” of the country is the article will be fair and free from back and forth edit. 2601:280:5F80:4070:307F:D4E4:B247:7D40 (talk) 17:09, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

What is your reliable source for this? - Julietdeltalima (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

The article should even be taken down. The author is a clear Igbon liar that wants to falsely and greedily usurp what does not belong to them. Egusi is a Yoruba food, meaning what you break to open. There is nothing like that in Igbo language. They are liars Formiiapps (talk) 13:35, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello!

I have seen that due to the recent numerous changes that the page has been locked- an ethnic war on Twitter (Now X) has caused this. The origins of Egusi soup are of Igbo origin and prior to the numerous changes it was acknowledged to be of Igbo origin in this article. I asked that this is politely changed and locked so that it ca no longer be changed. This change is essential, as Igbo people have been subject to degradation and discrimination- an article supporting the origins of the soup is important as I it is an essential part of their culture. I am requesting for the usage part of the article which outlines the origins of the soup to be changed . Afrodiaspora 013 (talk) 21:44, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Egusi is a Yoruba name and all sources including dictionaries from the 19th century states so. The Yorubas in benin and Togo also eat Egusi and call it Egusi. Egusi has never been Igbo, it has always been a Yoruba name used for the dish eaten across ethnicities in Nigeria. Researcherofgreatness (talk) 23:59, 16 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Egusi is an ancient Yoruba soup, The Etymology of the name itself “Egusi” is Yoruba which is “Egun Ko si” I.e it has no thorns OduduwaBack (talk) 09:04, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

You have put up a false narrative on this page and I am going to ask Wikipedia to put it down. This is how you go about spreading lies. Egusi is not of Igbo origin. It is a 100% Yoruba food, you children of the tribe of greedy liars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Formiiapps (talk • contribs) 09:16, 6 October 2024 (UTC) Dear Wikipedia Team,Reply

I am writing to report the page titled Egusi: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egusi, and kindly request its deletion or correction, as it contains false information regarding the origin of this food.

Egusi is a dish that has its roots in the Yoruba culture of Nigeria, but the current page misrepresents its origin without any verifiable sources. The author, who appears to be Nigerian but from a different ethnic group (Igbo), has deliberately provided a false narrative. This misrepresentation is not only an insult to the Yoruba people but also a deliberate attempt to distort the heritage and cultural history of this dish. While Egusi is enjoyed across Nigeria, it is important to acknowledge that it was borrowed by other tribes, including the Igbo, from the Yoruba people.

I am including references that clearly trace the dish's origins to the Yoruba culture, such as the following:

https://medium.com/@africanity/egusi-soup-yoruba-culinary-genius-9d94f3c61309

https://www.oed.com/dictionary/egusi_n?tl=true

Despite the widespread enjoyment of this dish, falsely attributing its origin when the evidence points to the Yoruba people is misleading. This deliberate act to misrepresent history is a serious concern. I respectfully request that Wikipedia takes this down to prevent the spread of inaccurate information about the cultural heritage of the Yoruba people.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kind regards,

Funmi Apps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Formiiapps (talk • contribs) 09:38, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Formiiapps Looking at the history of the page, it was changed from Yoruba origin to Igbo origin, and it looks like that change also broke some referencing. I'll try to track that down; it will be easier if I'm not having to revert the wholesale deletion of text, which is outright disruptive. —C.Fred (talk) 13:38, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Update: It was a relatively recent edit that introduced the errors, and it appears to have been a deliberate act. The article has been restored to its prior condition, and the editor who made the offending edit has been warned. —C.Fred (talk) 13:46, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
