Not too long ago, rice used to be the regular Sunday meal for most families in Nigeria, but nowadays, with how expensive food items have become, and most people are yet to adjust to high cost of living, I wonder how many families (of common Nigerians) can still afford to cook Sunday rice.

I don't have a Sunday food regimen, it depends on what my body needs, like today, l ate whole wheat bread 🍞 + 2 boiled eggs+ cowpeas+ a Cup 🍵 of coffee ☕ and l am full already, my point is l can decide to eat Oha soup/ Ogbono soup/ vegetable or Spinach or Egusi or White soup or Okra soup and Amala or any swallow depending on my moods and body needs shocked

Waoooo, it was a tradition maintained in 80's 90's and 2000 but now it's gradually eroding due to economic crunch. In those days proper rice and meat or boiled or fried fish where prepared with d rice. But now dimensions has taken place at d mercy of pocket level
Re: Do You Still Cook Sunday Rice? (pictures) by NoToPile: 5:30pm On Aug 31, 2025
Yes oo

Nobody asks what we are having after church , it's definitely rice.

No I don't. I ate rice yesterday night, garri and okra soup today Sunday morning, tea and toasted bread this afternoon. The remaining toasted bread will be eaten in the night

Most common food in Nigeria, you are still mentioning every Sunday. Those were the days when uncle Benz rice was the order of Sunday.

I reject poverty for this OP in Jesus name.

AMEN.

Any food goes...in fact I eat rice all day

I'm not a fan of rice, however, not all Sundays are meant for rice.

Rice.... ,
I laugh in Osinkafa...
Na pesin wy dey alright dey chop rice on sunday. Beside getting it as free food party jollof. Na God deybtake care of us.

Hausa call am chinkafa
Nupe call am kafa
Yoruba call am iresi.
Another evidence of linguistic fluidity through trade/migration/intermarriage between diverse ethnic groups.

Igbos and some areas of the South-South call rice 'osikapa', just as they, Yorubas and Hausa call onions 'alubosa/albasal'. I think 'albasal' is even Arabic in origin. In my language (South-South), a sieve is called 'myiyo' , and when you break it down, the second part of the word has Yoruba origins.

Fascinating.

Yesooooo, we are family of four , with good and healthy appetite, we finished 8 cups of rice by 1 pm and cooked another 6 by 8:45 to maul it while watching inter Milan and Udinese match.

Because it's cooked differently--special.

If you eat concoction rice on a Sunday, you'd nearly hate rice.

This is why we should celebrate our diversity rather than fan the flame of division.

If make extensive research, the word Nupe or North Central might be the first to have cultivated rice in Nigeria.
