      Lool Cassava is a food similar to yam but it can often be used to denote the male genital. e.g Tecno - you say you like cassava i get big cassave

      Seems Igbo. Yoruba didn't have 'C' and I often find words with 'ch' are Igbo. You may have misspelled it but the closest i could think would be ṣ instead of the ch and it didn't translate
