Introduction

If you’ve spent time in Ondo State, Nigeria, you may have heard two different names for a certain dark-green herbal soup — Gbanunu and Marugbo.

At first, it might seem like they are two different soups. But the truth?
They are one and the same — a rich herbal blend that has nourished families for generations.

The difference is not in the soup itself, but in the language, culture, and stories behind it.

The Ikale People Call It “Marugbo”

In the Ikale-speaking communities of Ondo State, this herbal soup is called Marugbo — a name that carries the meaning of something that keeps the elderly strong.

To the Ikale, this soup is more than a meal. It’s a strength-giving herbal tonic that keeps older people healthy, mobile, and full of life. It’s served at family gatherings, community feasts, and especially to the elderly as a wellness booster.

The Ondo People Call It “Gbanunu”

In Ondo-speaking areas of the state, the exact same soup is called Gbanunu. This name reflects its colon cleansing and detoxifying powers.

Here, Gbanunu is valued not just as food, but as a natural cleansing medicine that refreshes the body from the inside out. People drink it when they feel heavy, sluggish, or after eating rich foods, as it helps restore balance and vitality.
