It’s finally game over for the long-standing war between Ghana and Nigeria’s Jollof rice. For years now, the supremacy race has been taken everywhere from Twitter to Facebook to Instagram and even, physical altercations.
Today marks the end of the war as Mark Zuckerberg has given a well-deserved endorsement to Nigerian Jollof rice. At the town hall Q&A session with developers and entrepreneurs in Lagos, the Facebook CEO blew the final whistle, “Yesterday, I had Jollof rice and shrimp. It was delicious, fantastic. I was told not to compare Nigeria’s Jollof rice to that from other neighbouring countries.”
As expected, Nigerians have reacted to this long awaited victory on Twitter and here are some of the best ones:
Mark Zuckerberg just said that Jollof rice is sweet…on Facebook live
Nigeria: 100
Ghana: 0
WIN FOR LIFE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So, now that the war is over, maybe Ghanaians can focus on other things and let our Nigerian jollof rice reign in perfect peace. But we are yet to hear from them, let’s hope that they concede defeat. It is finished!
