Jollof Rice is a popular dish native to West Africa but also prepared in other countries. There is still an ongoing battle about who makes the best Jollof between Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal. It is typically made with long-grain rice, tomatoes, pepper, onions, and spices in one pot.
In Nigeria, it is a delicacy present at nearly every wedding, birthday ceremony, and even burials.
World Jollof Day is marked on August 22 of every year and is a day set aside to celebrate this delicious delicacy.
