"Naija no de carry last" 🇳🇬 We don't play with our jollof rice!!! I love me some Yvonne Orji...stunning, smart and funny as hell! She is the true embodiment of our people! Can't wait to read this book...congrats sis!

[@bpdynasty9265]

Nigerian jollof especially 'party jollof' has a very distinct smokey taste....Yvonne knew immediately which one was Nigerian ahaha its quite distinct!

[@groot_man_]

Same with Ghanaian party jollof. The smokey taste is there. The hack is the rice. Its easy to distinguish without tasting. Its not even about the colour. Just the type of rice used.

[@KCNwokoye]

Yvonne is brilliant and hilarious. Love her.

The truth is that Peter Obi won Nigeria's February 25th 2023 Presidential Election, and not Chicago's convicted drug baron Bola 'Thiefnubu" Tinubu, who forged a bachelor's degree certificate from Chicago State University. Bola 'Thiefnubu" Tinubu is an illegitimate president.

For the records, anything co-signed by the Nigerians 💚🤍💚 is always lit The Jollof Rice war is only popular because the other African countries(our junior siblings) don't want to give it up to the Nigerians. The Jollof vibes started from Nigeria, then Ghana joined, followed by Senegal, I hear Togo is sneaking in too. And yes, Nigerian 🇳🇬 Jollof is the best......you can argue with your phone 😂😂😂😂

[@baddguy10]

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement 😄

[@ella5442]

Who are you calling “junior sibling” junior sibling? What we will give you is the acknowledgment that you guys are loud and that is the only reason you dominate Jollof rice. We are not giving you guys the Jollof Crown. Happy Independence Day btw.

Naija Jollof never fails. Jollof Rice may have originated from Senegal, but Nigeria perfected it. Yo, Ghana, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia keep trying. We love y'all though. But Jollof is Nigerian

The way Senegalese prepare it, can't be equalled let alone bettered. They are the owners and masters of Jollof rice. Only Nigerians think they do it better but if you ask someone from another country they will always say Senegal.

[@user-ls8mo6xq8t]

Nigerians put curry powder and Maggi in their rice. Everything tastes better with MSG!

As someone that stayed in Ghana for years and ate different kinds of jollof. It'll take about 3-4 plates of Ghana jollof to measure up to 1 good plate of Nigerian jollof.

@@praiseo5170oh please 🙄🙄🙄

they both taste good. But Ghanaians are not confident in their jolof that is why they put stew and shitto with it. Its not just good alone. But just a spoon of nigerian party Jolof you know you don't need any stew.

I think the rice used by the Nigerians is par-boiled. Ghanaians use Jasmine rice so it takes better to people. Having said that, my husband will tell you it depends on who is preparing it.

[@Abena425]

@@opc3425 Yes, they use par boiled rice. Which can't absorb the full flavor of the stew. Hence that lackluster taste. Ghana jollof is the best!

[@karine-ela]

[@kwakuduah7976]

My brothers and sisters from Nigeria in these comments don’t be too happy yet. Because, it’s either they are passing Ghanaian jollof off as Nigerian jollof or they are just faking how good it is😂😂😂. Either way, there was some type of cheating because Yvonne (the guest) is Nigerian. Because you all know Nigerian jollof only started having color when the pale color was criticized by Ghanaians all the time and y’all started using palm oil (red oil) for yours which is an abomination to jollof rice by the way😂😂😂 Also, when she said smoky I immediately said that is definitely Ghanaian jollof; it is spicy and smoky. So my question is when did y’all started making smoky jollof? Or have you started using Ghanaian recipe now?
