Lol... I used to believe so, not until I discovered it doesn't really belong to us.

Question is, can we really be the best at something we didn't invent?

We didn't invent corruption but.....

I have eaten Ghanaian jollof rice, the food is not pleasing at all, their jollof rice look like mud eba and it is very starchy.

•• → sometimes they might forget about the inventors if the designers are very good, so they tend to take the glory °°

Yes of course!!!
Just because you invented something doesn't mean you are the best at it. England invented football but they are not the best at playing football.
In microcosm, Nigeria is the best when it comes to the art of jollof making.

We've been known to be the best at anything we copy. Take corruption and religion for example.

Most Nigerians are actually oblivious of the fact that "Jollof" is actually from Wollof Peeps in Senegal and Gambia?

Lalatisclala Homepage please?

Yes but not as spicy and tasty as ours.

True. Some Nigerians might go defensive and refute the origin. As far as they're concerned, Jollof Rice is our heritage

There is no controversy about the origin of jollof rice. It's from the Wolof people in the Senegambia region, except that our own version is more spicy ("pepperish" ) and tasty.

Re: The Origin Of Jollof Rice by klax(m): 9:40am On Dec 23, 2016

You are very correct jollof Rice originated from Senegal and Gambia wollof speaking clan within the 2 country so any other country claiming to be the original owner of jollof should hold their peace.

The 'darkness' of the rice comes from the black pepper they use, compared to ours, wherein we shop for the finest tomato paste brands and tomatoes to achieve ours.

Some rice are that way. They absorb so much water that when they become watery when they turn cold. This is common with 'short rice' and people often go for them just because they're slightly cheaper than the longer grains.
