When you hear abacha, Enugu should come to your mind. Every part of Igboland eats Abacha but Enugu State does more than eating it, they own it and they bring innovative brilliance in its preparation. In the past, people used to look forward to Enugu Indigenous events to eat the best abacha in Enugu.

Events meant someone had to die for there to be a funeral, someone had to love, endure, and make that jump for there to be a wedding, and a baby has to be born and the parents rich for there to be a naming ceremony with abacha. New yam festivals, ofalas, and other celebrations come at least once a year. Abacha was too great to be left at the whims of tribal festivities.

Today, in Enugu, people want to eat abacha when they feel like eating abacha. And people eat Abacha when they want to. Vendors know this and Enugu City is full of masters who prepare abacha for a living. And “prepare” may not be the most justifiable word to use. Garnishing comes close but even that word falls short (but can serve for the sake of prosaic continuity).

Ultimately, with abacha in Enugu, you don’t need words. You need to taste it.

On Twitter, on other online platforms, in joints, at home, and elsewhere, once the best abacha in Enugu is mentioned, the conversation becomes rowdy and cuts opinions into shreds, and erects mostly individualistic tents. People in Enugu are not anarchists, the problem is the subject – abacha is a highly subjective topic that leads people to talk based on taste buds, based on preferences (abacha goes with fish, ukpaka, kanda, etc. – the person who prepares the best rejoinder may get your vote), based on sentiments, and whatnot.
