Reno Omokri, media aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan has agreed with Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed that Senegal prepares the best jollof rice.
Mohammed in an interview with CNN’s Richard Quest had said Senegalese jollof rice was the best but later claimed he didn’t hear the question.
In a post on his Facebook page on Sunday, Omokri said the producer of his show, a Senegalese, prepared the country’s variant of jollof rice.
He wrote, “The producer of my TV show, Geo Helene Sow, is from Senegal. She made the original Jollof Rice (THIEBOU Dieun) for me. Yes, Jollof actually originated from Senegal, not Nigeria! Jollof is actually named after a place in Senegal. They break their rice before cooking it and it is criminally delicious!!! Lie Mohammed did not Lai (or is it the other way round?) Guess what else also originated from Senegal? Zobo originates there too!”
