Despite the ongoing food rivalry between the two countries, Nigerian musician Burna Boy has had reason to defend Ghanaian jollof when the chance presented itself.

It all started when a pop quiz about his knowledge of the various kinds of cuisines available in Africa was interjected into an interview on Complex about his new album.

The dish on the chopping board was ‘Jollof’.

It is a rice-based dish from West Africa typically made with, tomatoes, onions, spices, and vegetables among other accompaniments.

Burna Boy recognised Nigerian and Senegalese jollof rice with ease, but his assurance waned when he tasted what he believed to be poor jollof.

Although he mistook the third plate's country of origin, speculating that it might be from Kenya, he was not entirely off the mark when judging its quality.

Burna Boy learned that his assumption about the origin of the jollof rice he thought was less flavorful was wrong and that it actually came from Ghana.

He expressed his surprise by saying that this particular plate did not live up to his expectations because his experiences with Ghanaian jollof were very different.

“Ghana jollof is way better than this even if Ghana jollof is bottom of my list, it is a lot better than this. The real Ghana jollof is a lot better than this,” he insisted.

With this bold statement from Burna Boy, can we now say Ghana Jollof is better than Nigerian Jollof.
