The Story

​

"There was this warrior in Ijebuland who was very powerful and a no-nonsense person nicknamed ‘MASE’ because he was always telling people 'MASE' (Don’t try it).

​

Most people did not know his real name as he was popularly known as ‘MASE’.

His wife was a food seller and had a reputation for being a good cook.

So, when people wanted their kids to buy food from them, they will remind them that 'Obe aya MASE ni ko ra fun mi ooo'.

​

Apparently the most popular one is the green one, 'Obe oniru'.
After her death, the stew was named after her as 'Obe Aya MASE'. "

​

And that's what everyone enjoys at homes and parties till date.

​

ENJOY!
