ShareShareShareShareShare

 

There are numerous things we were misled about back in elementary and primary school. For instance, there were a few names of ‘ordinary things’ our instructors wrongly begat for us.

Today, we wish to put any misinformation to rest and let you know the right English names of a portion of these things.

ALUGUNTUGUI

We know you’ve been told all your life that the English name for Aluguntugui is Sweet Apple. Well, you were lied to because the right name for the fruit is SOURSOP.

KONTONMIRE

There has been a lot of difficulties when people try to translate “Kontonmire” into English. Even some of our English books failed at this and left it as it is (Kontonmire). Others tried and named it “Cocoyam leaves”. Today, your headache ends here, the right name for the popular staple is TARO LEAVES.

Sorry to bust your bubble but this product is actually ancient and it’s still being used by many people all over the world. It is called ENEMA BULB SYRINGE.
