Former aide to the former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has revealed his take on the Jollof wars between African countries.
The former president’s aide who weighed in on the age long war between Nigerian and Ghanaian Jollof rice took to his social media page to support the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed’s stand.
Recall that Lai Mohammed had some weeks ago voted Senegalese Jollof Rice over Nigerian Jollof Rice.
Reno Omokri who took to his social media page to reveal his vote wrote: “The producer of my TV show, Geo Helene Sow, is from Senegal. She made the original Jollof Rice (THIEBOU Dieun) for me. Yes, Jollof actually originated from Senegal, not Nigeria! Jollof is actually named after a place in Senegal. They break their rice before cooking it and it is criminally delicious!!! Lie Mohammed did not Lai (or is it the other way round?) Guess what else also originated from Senegal? Zobo originates there too!”
