Endy Edeson Spotted Eating Ghanaian Jollof Rice At An Event In Lagos

The editor of Edeson Online News, Mr. Endy Edeson was recently spotted eating Ghanaian Jollof rice at an event in Lagos. Aside the Ghanaian Jollof rice, Mr. Edeson was also offered salad, Chivita fruit juice, fayrous, table water, fufu and egusi soup. We learnt he ate everything and was very
satisfied.

When quizzed on his take on Ghanaian Jollof rice he said, "Well, it tastes good and I enjoyed it. This is actually my first time of eating it. To tell you the truth, I still prefer Nigerian Jollof rice over Ghanaian Jollof rice"

However, the calm looking News Reporter, Mr. Edeson was seen leaving the event venue with two take-away packs loaded with Ghanaian Jollof rice and goat meat.

The points of origin of Jollof rice are mostly debated among Ghanaians and Nigerians, since both countries claim to be the origin of jollof rice. It is typically seen as a culturally sensitive issue between Nigerians and Ghanaians.

QUESTIONS:
1. Have you eaten Ghanaian Jollof rice before?
2. Nigerian Jollof rice and Ghanaian Jollof rice, which is better?

Jesse Osayande Vucinic Ehiagwina

Endy, he isn't patriotic? Do you know jollof did actually start from Senegal? And they do make a great jollof. Even Ghanians. Our AWOL presido has said more "unpatriotic" words

Akintoye Adebareh Abdul Akeem

Abeg what is the different btw Nigeria jollof and Ghana jollof

Endy Edeson

@Jesse: That is on historical level. But in the trending context, every Nigerian is expected to give more points in order to "take the day".

Neney F Sophey

Funmilayo Ojo

Jesse Osayande Vucinic Ehiagwina

Endy, yea, I get that but he isn't unpatriotic for saying what he believes is the best j-rice he's eaten

Onanome Mary-Ann Ifunanya Eyeye

@ANNE:hahahahaha. people at home will eat as well. @MARY ANN: Correct Naija girl. @Jesse: I think most people are seeing this in different angles. @Neney & Funmilayo: SURE. AKEEM: For you to understand Ghanaian jollof rice, you have to know that the rice used is different from the Nigerian one. Their preference is Thai Jasmine- a perfumed more starchy rice which we call “basmati”. The average Ghanaian can’t stand the long grain rice Nigerians eat. They say it’s not sweet and the grains are too fat. @Godwin: I no do anything oooo. Na only Ghanaian Jollof rice I eat ooo.
