Kerry Washington, who's married to Nigerian-American film producer Nnamdi Asomugha, gave her take on the hot topic while at the NAACP Image Awards The Nigerian community has long been battling every other country for the title of the best jollof rice makers. And while their main competitor has been Ghana, the "Giant of Africa" is always ready and willing to go toe-to-toe with any other nation that wants to stake their claim in the jollof wars — be it people from Sierra Leone, Senegal, Liberia or Cameroon.
In fact, the debate over who makes the best jollof rice is so prevalent that when I first moved to Los Angeles back in 2022, I attended an annual event called "Jollof Wars" where chefs from the aforementioned nations bring their best dishes for the people in attendance to try out.

There's music, vendors selling all types of African goodies, and even a talent show, but the main event is the blind vote that takes place at the end of the night, in which people choose which jollof reigns supreme. For those who may not know, jollof rice is a type of rice dish commonly made in West Africa. It's made with tomatoes, chilis, onions and various spices and, as with any meal, each country puts its own spin on it.

You can pair it with plantains (another highly debatable food), some meat and salad of choice, but when it's really done right, you can eat it by itself because it's so well-seasoned. It's spicy, it's smokey and when all the ingredients are mixed the right way, it really is a culinary experience that stops you in your tracks.
