Everything
Built structures
Borno and Yobe underground grain pits
A 2007 survey reports underground grain pits in Nigeria’s Sudan Savanna, especially Borno and Yobe. It describes lined pits storing threshed millet, sorghum and cowpea.
Built structures
Kainji Lake earthen smoking kiln
A 1974 FAO report describes varied mud fish-smoking ovens around Nigeria’s Kainji Lake basin, including an hourglass form in its northern parts. It documents the form and broad use, but gives no dimensions or construction sequence.
Equipment
Ugba leaf parcel
A flexible leaf parcel encloses sliced African oil-bean cotyledons during some Ugba preparations in southeastern Nigeria. Leaf species and layers vary by documented method.
Equipment
Food-rated grater or processor disc (cassava, coconut)
Graters, motorized rasping drums and processor grating discs reduce cassava or coconut to shreds or mash. They perform the grating stage only; later processing determines texture, extraction and cassava safety.
Equipment
Curd knife and slotted ladle
A curd knife cuts set milk into recipe-sized pieces; a perforated ladle lifts and moves curd while whey drains. The hand tools work at different moments in an open cheesemaking vessel.
Equipment
Kworia calabash for nono
A Kworia is a large calabash used in northern Nigerian nono production: fresh milk ferments in calabashes before cream is skimmed and the sour milk is handled or sold.
Equipment
Leaf-lined basket for alkaline seed condiments
A shallow woven basket or tray can hold cooked, dehulled seeds while they ferment into alkaline condiments. Beninese and Nigerian sources document different basket, tray and cover arrangements rather than one regional standard.
