See the reasons why Yoruba love Pepper.
Everyone,yes everyone in Nigeria can tell of Yoruba's undying love and sticking affection for pepper. We will talk about oil another day.
One of the reasons that can be attributed to their love for Pepper

Is their farming occupation from way back. Farming used to be the major occupation of the ancient yoruba's and pepper happened to be one of their produce. The yoruba saying,"what you sell is you eat" is very glaring in the manner with which they consumed

Pepper.
Pepper, alongside side other farm produce like maize,beans,yam e.t.c.
Yoruba's also believe that"a soul that does not eat pepper is a feeble one". In other words, the more you eat pepper, the more healthier you will become and thus,

The longer you will live. Well as of late,an examination by the US public library of science has uncovered that eating supper hot stew pepper routinely could broaden one's life as much as 13%-or ten and a half years.

Moreso, it's believed that consuming pepper in stew or soup especially when ill can help quicken the recovery process as it would help you shake off a cold,fever or even loss of appetite.
In summary"pepper is life",

While some are of the supposition that 'when eating pepper,it gives running nose and that is the thing they like about it'.
Others are of sentiment that "a pepper less food is cold and disgusting"
