Lupita Nyongo’s Dinner Sparks Social Media Debate

Lupita Nyong’o sparked up a debate on social media when she put up a picture of her dinner which was Ugali and Sukumawiki.

The Oscar winner captioned the picture #homesick showing that she is still in touch with her Kenyan roots.


The picture brought about a buzz and there was a debate among Nigerians, Kenyans and South Africans who instated the meal came from their country.

Below are some of the comments:

Eddie Ken Kenyan: This is Kenyan food not Nigerian. So guys drop this fufu word. It is Ugali.

Omphile Sharone Nakedi: It’s also Botswana food and South African food!!! Mosoko le morogo kana phaleche le morogo!

Kubania Lameque B: What’s wrong with these Nigerians. In my Kenyan tribe, fufu means human waste.

Shiku Wa Gicheru: Mexicans who like claiming that she’s Mexican, can they tell us what food this is??

Kubania Lameque B: Hey listen guys. That’s ugali and sukuma wiki…stop that collard crap. Its sukuma wiki.

Faith Constatine: It doesn’t look Mexican it’s because she is Kenyan and that’s Kenyan traditional food

Ekaete Udoffia: That’s looks like fufu & veggie soup

Njeri Wakame: Nigerians eat it too but they call it something else

Patricia Temba: Most AFRICANs eat this, even in SA pap/porrige & morogo/spinach. I’d say it’s an African dish

Shatho Joy Robinson: Pap and morogo in South Africa and Botswana, Sadza ne muriwo in Zimbabwe, Nshima in Malawi and Zambia, Ugali and sukuma wiki in Kenya and Tanzania and Fufu i guess in West Africa, Nigeria and Ghana.
