At CNN ‘Richard Quest Means Business’ anchored in Lagos on Friday, Nigeria’s minister of Information and Culture, Lai Muhammed has said that the best Jollof rice is made in Senegal. Reports has it that Nigerians were disappointed at the minister, thus expected him to cease the opportunity to promote Nigeria made products.
Responding to a question on the country that makes best Jollof rice, the minister said: “I want to say probably Senegal”.
Quest earlier expressed surprise at the minister’s response, thus doused the tension by saying that the minister misunderstood his question to mean “where did Jollof rice originate from,” which according to him was why he answered, Senegal. However, Nigerians via the Glazia tweeter handle, expressed their bitter feelings about Lai Muhammed’s answer to Quest question.
