Egusi (egwusi, agusi, ohue, agushi) is popular across West Africa, with each community having variations of ingredients  and cooking techniques (seeds, leafy greens, indigenous seasonings). In Nigeria, egusi is common among the Yoruba, Igbo, Ibibio and Efik and Bahumono of southern Nigeria, the Hausa of northern Nigeria and the Edo, Esan, Etsakọ, Urhobo and the Itsekiri people of the south-west of Nigeria. The Yorubas, quite notably the people of Ọṣun State – especially Ijesha – eat "iyan and egusi".  The Ibibio and the Efik of southern Nigeria call it Afere Ikong. In Ghana, egusi is also called akatoa or agushi, and as in Nigeria is used for soup and stew, and most popularly in palaver sauce.
