Nigeria Wins First Ever Jollof Rice Competition In Washington DC

The argument that Ghanaian jollof is better than Nigerian jollof looks like its over for now as a competition was held to find out which country’s jollof dish is the better of the two.

The competition; known as the jollof hackathon or jollof festival was organized to find out which country’s version of the popular dish was the best.

Jollof dishes from all over West Africa were prepared and served to the observation and delight of spectators.

However, Nigeria emerged as the winner as chef Atinuke Ogunsalu produced the best version, with all 600 spectators agree that the Nigerian version was the best. She got a thousand dollars worth of support services from the organizer of the event.
