Saturday, June 28, 2025 - A woman from Gembu, a town in the Mambilla Plateau in Taraba State, Constance Kawa Yenda, has debunked the misconception that women from her tribe use a traditional soup made with Kumbi leaves as a charm to tie men down.
Kumbi is a well-liked, luscious, and nourishing vegetable soup that is indigenous to the Gembu people.
“I want to
set the record straight as a real GEMBU BAE. I've heard people saying that
Gembu ladies use 'Kumbi' to tie down their men. But let me tell you, Kumbi is
not a charm!,” she wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.
"It's
actually our traditional soup, and it's delicious," she wrote. Kumbi is a
popular vegetable soup gotten from Gembu, a local government in Taraba
"Y’all
if not a fake life, why will a GEMBU lady be eating cow meat when our almighty
KUMBI is the real cow Itself.
"I know
some of you might be thinking, “So, the men agreed to be tied down?” But
seriously, Gembu ladies are amazing! They're loving, caring, demure, mindful,
respectful, So peaceful And hardworking. Sorry our Hips don’t lie. See weather
and we look fresh always like hot fresh agege Bread.
“So, let's stop the misconception about our tribal vegetable being used as a charm. It's time to give credit where credit is due. Gembu ladies, you're the real MVPs! All the local tribes in village eat KUMBI.”
