If there’s one debate that can scatter a Nigerian dining table, it’s this one: Egusi or Ogbono, which soup reigns supreme?
Both are beloved. Both are comfort food. Both remind us of home in the deepest way. But they’re not the same, and everyone has their own loyalty.
Let’s talk about each one honestly. The taste, the texture, the vibe, and even how they pair with different swallows. By the end, you’ll know exactly why this debate will never end (and why that’s a good thing).
Egusi Soup: Rich, Thick, and Full of Attitude
Egusi is that soup with presence. When you walk into a kitchen and smell egusi frying with palm oil, onions, and seasoning, you know something serious is happening. Egusi feels like a celebration. It’s the soup you eat when you want to spoil yourself or impress someone.
Here’s what makes egusi special:
-
It is thick and hearty: the melon seeds create a natural richness.
-
It is versatile: you can make it lumpy, fried, thickened with vegetables, or cooked with tomatoes.
-
It is a crowd pleaser, even picky eaters love it.
-
Perfect with almost any protein- beef, goat meat, smoked turkey, panla, stockfish, catfish.
Ogbono Soup: Smooth, Drawy, and Comforting
Ogbono is a completely different experience. It’s soft, silky, slightly slimy, and incredibly comforting. When it draws, your heart draws with it. Haha. Ogbono is humble, warm, peaceful. It tastes like home on a rainy day.
Why people love Ogbono:
-
It is smooth and soothing with almost no chewing required.
-
It has an incredible flavor, especially when cooked with smoked fish, stockfish, and palm oil.
-
It is perfect with swallow, especially amala, eba, fufu, and pounded yam.
-
It is fast to cook, so, it's a lifesaver for busy days.
Texture: Thick vs. Drawy
-
Egusi is thick, grainy, and bold.
-
Ogbono is smooth, slippery, and stretchy.
The one you prefer depends on your mood. Some people want that satisfying thickness. Others want the gentle slide of ogbono.
Taste: Spiced Energy vs. Calm Comfort
-
Egusi carries layers of flavor, from seasoning cubes, crayfish, pepper, vegetables, sometimes tomatoes.
-
Ogbono has a deep, earthy flavor that comes alive when you add smoked fish, stockfish, and palm oil.
Egusi is loud. Ogbono is calm. Both are delicious. Is that not amazing? Hehe
Which Swallow Works Best?
Egusi goes best with:
-
Pounded yam
-
Eba
-
Semolina
-
Fufu
-
Wheat
Ogbono goes best with:
-
Amala
-
Eba
-
Fufu
-
Pounded yam
If you're using amala, ogbono wins. If you're using pounded yam, egusi enters with confidence.
Nutrition Talk (Short & Simple)
-
Egusi is rich in healthy fats, protein, and minerals.
-
Ogbono supports digestion and is known for its healthy fats and fiber.
Both are good for you- moderation is the key!
So Which One Is Better?
The honest answer: It depends on you.
-
If you want thick, spicy, rich, and satisfying, go for Egusi.
-
If you want smooth, comforting, fast-cooking, and drawy, choose Ogbono.
There is no clear winner and that’s why this debate will continue forever.

The most common regimen involves two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol971569875040 Mifepristone: This medication is taken first and works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for the pregnancy to continue. Without this hormone, the lining of the uterus breaks Whatsapp))_+971569875040 abortion pills In down, and the pregnancy cannot continue.[WhatsApp 971569875040 Misoprostol: Taken 24 to 48 hours after mifepristone, misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. This results in cramping and bleeding similar to a miscarriage. +971569875040 HOW EFFECTIVE IS THE ABORTION PILL? +971569875040
The abortion pill is very effective. If you take mifepristone and misoprostol, it depends on how far along the pregnancy is, and how much medicine you are taking:
At 8 weeks pregnant or less, it works about 94-98% of the time.
At 8-9 weeks pregnant, it works about 94-96% of the time.
At 9-10 weeks pregnant, it works about 91-93% of the time.
If you take an extra dose of misoprostol, it works about 99% of the time.
At 10-11 weeks pregnant, it works about 87% of the time.
If you take an extra dose of misoprostol, it works about 98% of the time.
In general, taking both mifepristone and misoprostol works a little better than taking misoprostol alone.
Taking misoprostol alone works to terminate a pregnancy about 85-95% of the time — depending on how far along the pregnancy is and how you take the drug.
The abortion pill usually works, but if it doesn’t, you can take more medicine or get an abortion at the clinic.
HOW DO I KNOW IF ABORTION PILLS ARE REAL AND NOT FAKE?
Even if you ask for abortion pills by name, such as misoprostol or mifepristone, some drug dealers may try to sell you fake pills that won’t work and may delay your abortion. Safe, effective abortion pills should:
1) The color white
2) Pills or tablets, NOT capsules
3) Packaged in an undamaged, double-aluminum blister pack, ideally
4)Sold to you by a pharmacy or drug dealer you trust
5) Not expired (the expiration date must be on the package)
