Don’t try to tell us Jollof rice is overrated.

How amazing can it be to have that one food that can make you forget your sorrow? (Well, maybe for a short period. Lol!). Yes, JOLLOF RICE is that food!

Every 22nd of August, the world celebrates this special cuisine (of course it deserves to be celebrated, especially in Nigeria).

It is one of Nigerians national delicacies which is served at almost every ceremonies. Although, not originated from Nigeria, but it has gained so much love from Nigerians and Jollof rice enthusiasts are ready to fight/argue with anyone who bad mouths this wonderful food.

I mean, for someone to have missed her flight back to Nigeria just to taste Jollof rice in Gambia and compare which was better, then you should know how much love Jollof rice has gained. It is funny and sounds crazy, yes? Lol! Read how the person ended up missing her flight because of Jollof rice here.

For a very long time, there has been serious arguments between Nigerians and Ghanaians as to which West African country owns the food. Tracing the origin of Jollof rice, the dish belongs to the Wolof people of the Senegambia region of West Africa.
