    Fun fact: Jollof rice is a dish from Senegal and became widespread in West African countries like Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria, and even Cameroon. we can't compare Ghana's to Jollof that of Nigeria's because both countries prepare them differently and vice versa.

      It was the Yellof people of Senegal who make the best "jellof" theycall it. I cannot wait to taste the original. However , I love Ghanaian Jollof over Nigerian Jollof any day. I feel Nigerians add too many spices and cook with short rice or basmati that sometimes make it look dry. At the end of the day the taste depends on the cook , the cooking process and the spices added.
