Afang is a traditional soup hailing from the southeastern parts of Nigeria. It's made with a combination of afang leaves, water leaves, dried fish, beef, onions, red palm oil, ground crayfish, and seasoning cubes. The afang leaves are ground or pounded and the onions are chopped before the beef is boiled with the onions and seasoning cubes in a small quantity of water.
When done, the dried fish is added with the palm oil, ground pepper, afang leaves, and water leaves. Once the leaves become tender and the liquids evaporate a bit, the soup is simmered for a short while before it's ready to be served. Afang soup is typically served at festive events such as weddings and celebrations.
It's especially popular among the Efiks, people of Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.

Ogbono is a traditional Nigerian soup made with a combination of ogbono seeds, red palm oil, onions, stock, seasoning cubes, leafy vegetables such as spinach, pumpkin leaves, or bitterleaf, and assorted meat and fish such as beef, tripe, shrimp, and crayfish.
The ingredients are simmered in an uncovered pot until fully tender, and the soup is then traditionally served hot with fufu, because the soup's slimy consistency helps the lumps of fufu slide down. Ogbono has many versions, so it can also be made without vegetables.

~0.7 mins read
This is no contest, Tyson takes The Rock out 10 times out of 10.
Tyson is clearly nowhere near his prime, however he’s been training hard for his planned boxing comeback and is in incredible shape for a 54 year old, especially considering where he was a few years ago
Tyson 2020 is on the right
Even at his most out of shape though, Tyson was one of the most feared boxers in history for a reason, they say a boxers punch is the last thing to go, and Tyson only needs one.
The Rock is significantly bigger than Tyson physically, and he is a trained athlete, however his body now is more geared towards looking good on camera than athletic performance
In the end, this just comes down to training. Tyson is a trained boxer, The Rock is a trained performer, if he has any real combat sport experience it’s at nothing like the same level as Tyson
