Inye people, burukutu, economic impact, medicinal impact

Burukutu is one of the major beverages in north central Nigeria. Research has shown that it is as old as the people. It is the only alcoholic beverage that existed in Igala land before the introduction of other drinks such as Ogogoro which came from the South-South. It is used in prestigious occasions and it accords high respect in anywhere it was served. Unlike the modern alcoholic drinks which have dangerous and negative side effects, burukutu has no such thing. Instead, it is medicinal, and has in fact financially empowered the women to be buoyant and independent. This paper aims at showcasing women’s role in the production process of burukuru; a local beverage as the health benefits of burukutu drink in Inye have not been extensively studied and researched. It also reveals the importance of this beverage. The paper adopts the historical method in sourcing for materials- primary and secondary sources. Primary sources such as oral interviews were judiciously used where the women involved in its production were interviewed. The Secondary sources used in this work include journals, articles, texts, magazines etc. It was observed that burukutu is not only a local beverage but also serves as a blood tonic, energy drink, power booster and also enriched the producers. The study also notes that excessive consumption of this beverage can cause liver damage, high blood pressure and other health hazards. In conclusion, although burukutu has financially empowered its producers and sellers, its health benefits are as well valued by the consumers. This work examines the processes involved in brewing burukutu in Inye from 1960 – 2016 as it documents the medical, economic, social and cultural impacts of burukutu in Inye.
